Name: Of Ice Blades and Blackened Earth
Channel: Blakkstorm
Description: "Of Ice Blades and Blackened Earth" is a song by Blakkstorm. This was an experiment on how well I could orchestrate about 10 different keyboards going at once. Overall it's probably the best song on the album, and it's about ice storms ripping over black cliffs and wretched landscape. Grim indeed.

Blakkstorm is a one-man black metal project, done with very raw guitar recording and keyboard, with percussion and background sounds made on FruityLoops. The music is meant to convey images of the cold and harsh North Ontario winter, thus the album name Pale Boreal Wastelands.

Lyrics

Scarred earth lay black ahead
Scraped clean by passing ice
So cold no trees can grow
So dark no man can live

Ice tempests rip the sky
Sharp crystals hack away
Pale clouds of duel-edge blades
Hurl cataclysmic winds at the world

Feel the great chaotic depth
Of ice blade winds and blackened earth
Blizzards vent the anger of aeons
Celestial bodies are obscured by frost

So cold it burns like fire
And skin is ripped away like rags
Icy sparks fly from the roaring braziers
Of nature's cold sardonic wrath

The irony, a homeland terrorizes
The offspring of its bounty
Taking fruit away and giving deathly cold
Replace the sun with stinging storm

Glacial rockslides drop from up above
Ragged cliffs cry out in rage
The icebound ones below are crushed
Shattered like monuments of glass

Ice blades, thrown over blackened earth
All is lost, dead and buried
Under fathoms of torrential snow
No life can be found

Ice blades and blackened earth
Beckon towards an early grave!
