The air is thick of grey smoke.
The air is thick of (the) prophecy long forgotten.
The air is thick of salt sweat,
The air is thick of sweat of these who fall in Sodden
He puts on his black helmet.
Rustle of the raven wings.
His sword gets unsheathed,
Craves for its cuts and swings.
Black horses and their hoofs'
Savage clangour on red stones.
Wild and manic death ride
Within great Cintra walls.
Pitch black feathers, crimson fire,
Silent groaning left behind.
Decimation, ravage, wreckage,
Ruins of her broken mind.
Death, destruction in my city
Broken defence, this is the end
Why has Fate choosen me
Hunting for royal blood
Are you my saviour?
Are you my fate?
This is Nilfgaard's wrath
Warrior with black feathers

One day I came across this title on YouTube and it intrigued me. The nostalgy hit me so much that I went back on IRC in 2019. Thanks to that, I met my girlfriend after being single for 15 years, and moved to a new town 6 hours away from me. All of that because of a click on that song.
Music has the power to change people's life and this track is my personal proof of that fact. swipesomething
I bought their other album, Spleen, months ago, and then just recently bought this one ... without even listening to it first. Thankfully Revenant is also amazing, serving as the perfect precursor to their more recent material. Tom's Reviews
