This song mentions the process of purification in Otherworld, making references to Taoist Hell as a metaphor. I dedicate this song those who have accepted their flaws as part of themselves. They are well on their way to perfection.

lyrics

Mirror, Mirror,
Under the ground
Show me where
my soul is bound

light and fire, circling the void’s maw
falling deeper beneath the ground
headlong into future unknown
born and dying without end in sight

the wheel turns, the orbit of immortals
summon souls from the boundless mass
vision strains, luminous in darkness
eyes captive of the holy glass

In this state,
In lukewarm transparency
I can’t remember
was I spirit or flesh?

Down, past the steel forest
Where blades scrape my sins away
Through the boiling cauldron
Where my doubts are burned to steam
The iron web is swept aside
The gates of life are open wide
This will be my final chance
I am falling back to life!

Rurým, Rurým,
Radno lehes dénuorég
Üohés mei arahu
Mei lous albe dénuob

Goblin Hovel recommends:

The Deer Will Hunt
by Where She Wept

I have heard everything from Evoken to My Dying Bride, and I still think Where She Wept is darker in sound and execution than any other gothic/doom band. And they don't even need a violin. Goblin Hovel

Witch of the Northern Frost
by Nazgûl

This is cold, meditative, and plain old desolate black metal done right. A must have for the worshipers of 90's style Norwegian folk/black metal! Goblin Hovel

Advent
by Wandering Oak

Every member of Oak is an absurdly talented musician and their cohesion as players and people is awe inspiring in and of itself. The music is intricate, but emotional; wild, yet thoughtful. Goblin Hovel
