lyrics

Crowds have gathered to see justice done

The harm felt is shared, chains of malice loosened

From the granite spawned and to the rock he returns

The bed of vraic beckons aside the crying gulls

Was it luck?

Or a rejection of one so vile?

Geoffroi, leap again

Never has one returned from the crooked pit

Where visions of wicked, twisted wretches inspire obedience

Yellowed teeth spread bare approaching death’s edge

The beating of the greedy sea awaiting a crimson tide

Was it luck?

Or a rejection of one so vile?

Geoffroi, leap again

An awful smile darkly shining up from below

Cries of disbelief in the face of defiance

A solemn declaration of a sentence passed

Before a final, fatal leap of faith

Was it luck?

Or a rejection of one so vile?

Geoffroi, leap again

No preservation in the deep

Flesh and bones, stripped away

No salvation he shall reap

A life of sin, washed away

They’ll never be the same

No matter our retribution

We should have protected them

Instead we cast our negligence

From Le Saut Geoffroi

Some of the best raw black metal I’ve heard in a while. So many infectious riffs it’s absurd. Easily my favorite release from lamp of Murmuur. HyperboreanFrost
