lyrics
Stones and sweat and blood, that's what it takes to build walls to the glory of your god.
What a better way to worship him than creating a masterpiece ?
Several attempts, several failures.
You couldn't find the way to bring this glorious edifice to life.
That's when you made a baleful choice.
He brought to you designs imbued with magic.
He brought to you perfection, the price was your soul.
"What a great opportunity! " you thought, "this settles everything."
He then left, waiting patiently for you to repay him.
Eventually you finished your work, the greatest you've ever made.
But remorse, my friend, is something you can't do without.
So to outsmart the devil, you chose to be buried under these walls you've created.
He's tricked but so are you cause your soul will dwell here for all eternity.
What a better way to worship him than creating a masterpiece ?
Several attempts, several failures.
You couldn't find the way to bring this glorious edifice to life.
That's when you made a baleful choice.
He brought to you designs imbued with magic.
He brought to you perfection, the price was your soul.
"What a great opportunity! " you thought, "this settles everything."
He then left, waiting patiently for you to repay him.
Eventually you finished your work, the greatest you've ever made.
But remorse, my friend, is something you can't do without.
So to outsmart the devil, you chose to be buried under these walls you've created.
He's tricked but so are you cause your soul will dwell here for all eternity.

Tale Of The Endless

This is some grade A melodeath! Great production, super solid song-writing. Only one downside: It's "only" an EP. Really hope a full-length is on the way

Black Lion tends to get melodeath right. Needles Of Rust is a very solid example.

Among Ashes And Monoliths
by Ablaze My Sorrowsupported by 6 fans who also own “The Architect and the Devil”
This is the very pinnacle of the band's work. The amount of great songs is staggering. They don't experiment excessively, but what they do sticks forcefully in my mind. I can't single out a single best song, cause there's too much of them - The Cavernous Deep, Nonextence, Grit, Among Ashes and Monoliths and even Black waters have all set places in several of my playlists. This album hit me off guard, and it hit strong. One of the best in 2021
