Quotes

 * SOL NIGER (Litmanen/Vil):
 * Under the sea
 * Dead cities in the dark
 * Dreaming themselves to be
 * Alive once more


 * And in darkened rooms
 * As vaulted tombs we hear them call
 * As sea devours land
 * Towers yield to the sand


 * Oh shine on Black Sun upon all Carthage
 * As a disease on all fours from the sea
 * Yea shine on Black Sun upon all Carthage
 * And that which never was shall always be


 * I would see the world revolve
 * Around the crosses tips
 * Fleeing the sun
 * The vulture Swooping down on a carrion
 * Laughing into the nothingness
 * That we flee
 * In mortal fear ...


 * And what is eternity
 * But a shoreless sea
 * One eternal day
 * That sees us come and move away
 * From the EP Deggael, 1997. Heroine Myra 237
