lyrics

Thine is the power!

I crave the light of day
Shield me
My bones are brittle
Deceive me
I am another's soul
As I lay waiting
The grave forgotten, but the dead still rot

And I was once a god
I was laid to rest
In an unmarked grave
Imagine the jest
No one remembers
What the sun was like
Last they spoke my name
And carved my sign with a pike

And who are you?
Just a lord on his throne
Eating his body
Drinking his blood

And a brittle sword of your own design
Made in brittle fire's light
Sworn to serve a dying god
The flesh is the vessel and thine is the power

I crave the light of day
Shield me
My bones are brittle
Deceive me
I am another's soul
As I lay waiting
The grave forgotten, but the dead still rot

And I am still a god
I lay wide awake
In an unmarked grave
My bones they ache
And none remember
What language the disciples spoke
When they summoned me forth
And painted the altar in their blood

And who am I?
Just a dying god
The flesh is the vessel
And brittle is the sword

As I lay waiting
For the shepherds to wander
I command thee
In blasphemy

Thine is the power!

I crave the light of day
Shield me
My bones are brittle
Deceive me
I am another's soul
As I lay waiting
The grave forgotten, but the dead still rot

Blackbraid I

What an impressive piece of black metal. This one-man hurricane is pure art. Sgah‘gahsowáh creates an haunting atmosphere. He puts so much soul in his music. Sælzer Bub

Blackbraid II
by Blackbraid

supported by 27 fans who also own “As I Lay Waiting”

Blackbraid quickly followed up their 2022 debut in 2023 with more native folk infused furious black metal. This is by no means a sophomore slump as it is equally excellent, methodical, melodical, and approachable as the first record. 9/10 RJ

A Pagan black metal masterpiece. Folk and black metal elements fuse into one extremely catchy and awe inspiring album. This band does not disappoint from all the high praise sent it's way. Abyssius Murkraken
