about

Saarkoths second release, Follow the Cult, is an EP which was written between January and February 2020 and features a single 17 and a half minute song that sees them branching away from the musical style set in Jera to pursue a darker and heavier sound, lead by acoustic guitars and a rawer production.

lyrics

Follow

As the rays of your holy love
Are hidden by gathering clouds
And the light of your fair Son
Is taken from this barren rock
Where life only exists
In it's fetid, futile form
Surrounded by greed and jealousy
Existence, so poor.

I feel the plague as it eats my flesh
And rots me from the inside
Leaving me hollow
And broken
And pained
It's curse of the mind
Which is rooted
In mankind
It brings the spirit
To it's knees
Where it begs for the mercy of all man

As I fall to the earth
Like an angel cast away
For only wanting the freedom
Of those
Who worship me
It stands against reason
That free will isn't free
And as I lie on the ground
the people worship me

Existence is a candle
In an omnipresent void
It's wax running out
Soon snuffed and dark
And our hope grows faint
Soon lost to peril
And I fear for the children
In future generations

For the future is cursed
And striken by greed
and jealousy
And tormented by the curses
Of money, greed and creed
Yet they follow me
Into the darkness
Of hell
And apostasy
The willing sacrifice
Of soul and purity
Brings me such esctascy
And pleasure
And glee

Bring the pure to me
let them writhe
In filth
And humanity
Fueled by their lust
and betrayal
of every god

Existence is a candle
In an omnipresent void
It's wax running out
Soon snuffed and dark
And our hope grows faint
Soon lost to peril
And I fear for the children
In future generations

Deus Mortis,
Your god is dead

Follow me

As light leaves the Earth
And soon all life will follow
Only then will you see
The error of your ways

Follow the cult

For once life has died
The cult of nature will arise

Follow the cult

Existence is a candle
In an omnipresent void
It's wax running out
Soon snuffed and dark
And our hope grows faint
Soon lost to peril
And I fear for the children
In future generations
