Open your eyes
Taste and see the failure of our kind
Self preserved and prosperous we are
Nations of our brethren die and starve
We're to take the blame; we are at fault
Woe to us fools, ignorant to our ways
The Human condition of selfishness pays
“Father, provide for our brothers” we pray
But we won’t lift a finger, we’d rather complain
Living in privilege, blind to our riches
Basking in our Narcissism
While the earth crumbles
We cause third world troubles
We taint the name of Christ
Impoverished and pained, they live in our waste
Who carries the weight of every cent we take?
Starvation prevails, our calling we've failed
The church is to blame for this world that we’ve ailed
Famished by selfishness, Lives have been lost
And it is our fault
Lighting our stages with stolen donations
We taint the name of Christ
Seeing the consequence of our greed
We conjure pain, we taint the name
Yet we refuse to take the blame
Corrupt
The cost to clothe the naked,
on petty things it's wasted
How long until we waken?
Waste and pain, church is to blame
Are we failing God?

Abigail Williams has had a weird career with hiatuses and lineup changes, but they have finally perfected their sound on Walk Beyond the Dark. This album has such a refreshing and natural feeling that makes it one of the top atmospheric black metal albums of recent years. Ryan

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