Drawn towards these lands again
Seeking death and sacred soil
I ride the longing winds of my blackened soul
Growing stronger once I enter my empire beyond
Emperium
Behold my coming
The fullmoon ride above me
Enlightening my realm in a silvery glow
Yet the shadows crawl beneath my storming sky
Guarding treasures from forbidden light
I still remember
Though ages ago, it seems
The first time I entered the gates
The revelation of ritual death
By which I became divine
Sacrifice of the life I had among the flesh of the light
And now I enter again
Even stronger, yet amazed by what I see
In ecstasy, I mock the world
Ye entrancemperium
Ye entrancemperium
Ye entrancemperium
Ye entrancemperium
Suddenly I memorize
Asking what I left behind
Nothing
Can I ever comprehend?
Will my longing never end?
Never!
Drawn towards these lands again
Seeking death and sacred soil
I ride the longing winds of my blackened soul
Eternally

"Overall, Empires Of Ash is a very impressive album, the best so far in the Sojourner discography, although it's early days as Sojourner are still a relatively new band. The atmosphere is majestic, and there is no shortage of beautiful melodies. The theme behind the songwriting may not be entirely orignal, but the way Sojourner produce this music stands out, making it worthy enough to be mentioned alongside Caladan Brood and Summoning."

This is one of the most impressive bands I’ve ever listened. Everything in this album is perfect. It’s raw, melodious, incredibly dark and cold. This has to be one of my favorite albums of all time. Hails ! dono_

PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it.
That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter. Matten
