lyrics
There in these cold lands
Lived a young man and his grandmother
The poor child was blind
And the old lady was nothing but hate and greed
You greedy ones
Be careful who you try to fool
When they open their eyes
Payback time will be cruel
All she wanted was to keep
Everything she could
Never to share with this blind kid
Day after day she's blaming
The young boy
For being so useless
You greedy ones
Be careful who you try to fool
When they open their eyes
Payback time will be cruel
Telling him every lies she could
So he'd finally leave
Acknowledging he's just
A pointless weight for her
Once she lied again
But this time he couldn't buy it
So he left to find out the truth
Initiatory journey
To finally face the world
He met a mighty spirit
who allowed him to see clearly
He then came back home
To get revenge
Pretending to be blind
He asked his grandmother to be his eyes
For he wanted to go hunting
This greedy one fooled the wrong one
She told him where to aim
As soon as she spoke
She got pierced by a spear
Lived a young man and his grandmother
The poor child was blind
And the old lady was nothing but hate and greed
You greedy ones
Be careful who you try to fool
When they open their eyes
Payback time will be cruel
All she wanted was to keep
Everything she could
Never to share with this blind kid
Day after day she's blaming
The young boy
For being so useless
You greedy ones
Be careful who you try to fool
When they open their eyes
Payback time will be cruel
Telling him every lies she could
So he'd finally leave
Acknowledging he's just
A pointless weight for her
Once she lied again
But this time he couldn't buy it
So he left to find out the truth
Initiatory journey
To finally face the world
He met a mighty spirit
who allowed him to see clearly
He then came back home
To get revenge
Pretending to be blind
He asked his grandmother to be his eyes
For he wanted to go hunting
This greedy one fooled the wrong one
She told him where to aim
As soon as she spoke
She got pierced by a spear

A beautiful journey from start to finish, with perfectly placed moments of gentility amidst the rhythmic intrigue and blast beats of their guest drummer.

Another seamless blend of extreme genres from Stortregn. Killer riffs, tasty basslines, and lots of fun tech influences in the composition and instrumentation make this an absolute banger front to back.
