    All CDs are shipped by two handsome and well dressed band members. There’s no warehouse or company to handle it for us.

    That means we can’t promise a specific shipping time; we’ll do our best to send off a set of orders each week, but if we’re not around you might be waiting a bit longer. Feel free to contact us through bandcamp if it’s been a few weeks, though, and we’ll be happy to help.

    Additionally, we can’t support orders of more than 4 CDs for shipping reasons. If you make an order for more, we will be in touch to refund & cancel your order.

    If you do want to make an order for additional CDs, please go through the checkout for the first set, and then start a new order.

lyrics

Through the breaking cracks in space
They come a pace a thousand faces
Screaming, tearing through from where
The starlight bare will die uncaring
Through the walls their squamous calls
Will bring their falls now victims one and all
Tearing at the seams, their now inverted screams
Will sound upon the breeze in the corner of dreams

Standing guard, his face set hard
Heimdall will play his part he’s ripped apart
His scream of pain echos insanely
Through the train it never wanes
The first to die he’s skinned alive
By his own cry the end is nigh
Now his golden eyes, still shining bright
Are burst across the sky, By the rainbow teeth of night
And he’ll never know why


Standing there in that Hellish Chamber
The no longer beating heart of the Bifrost
Thor and Sigyn stare in mute horror
The crumpled form leaking before them
The arcane glyphs and gears spinning dry
As all that protected and powered the train bleeds away

S: Kvasir, I know this man why is he here?
T: Odin, what have you done?
S: I left him back on Midgard, hiding, on the run
T: Allmother you will pay

Without the regulating pump of the train, Kvasir convulses and bleeds out in a matter of seconds. Screams can be heard from the carriages behind, and as the blood laps at their boots in a shallow crimson tide, Thor turns and walks away to do his work.
