Grendel's Sÿster - 'The Plight of a Sorcerer' (official audio)
In the days of my youth
I have strayed from the truth,
I have chosen a well-travelled road.
In the years of my bloom
I have conjured up doom,
I have followed the sorcerer's path.
Fallow the field -
all life has vanished where a
blood-stained hand -
rules with a rod of iron
Heart of stone -
Ogres sucking marrow
From a greyish human bone.
In the days of my prime
I have wasted my time,
I have mastered the art of deceit.
In the days of my age,
have I rattled my cage,
have I opened its gilded gates?
Fallow the field -
all life has vanished where a
blood-stained hand -
rules with a rod of iron
Heart of stone -
Ogres sucking marrow
From a greyish human bone.
All the death that I dealt,
all the triumph I felt,
merely served to hasten my fall.
And in my final hour
all the grapes have turned sour,
all my vain schemes have come to naught.
Fallow the field -
all life has vanished where a
blood-stained hand -
rules with a rod of iron
Heart of stone -
Ogres sucking marrow
From a greyish human bone.

«A glorious intermingling of epic metal, epic doom, acid folk, folk, folk rock, Krautrock, renaissance fair-styled music and ’70s rock, Germany’s Grendel’s Sÿster may have no identifiable and convenient genre tag, yet on their first studio album, Katabasis into the Abaton, the band weaves a dynamic, potent spell untethered to anything but their own creative whims.»
