Shamaatae of Arckanum performed drums until 1995 and was succeeded by Zathanel for his work with Setherial until 2000.

Since the leave of Zathanel, Eparygon and Mikael continue as a two-piece presently but have not surfaced information or work since 2002.

Godhetens Fall
Sorhin Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

SÅ kallt och Æde, denna natt skall dÆden gro
Aldrig mer ska solen skina, aldrig mer
Till intet, trevande jorden faller i ro
Aldrig mer ska ljuset pina
NÄr ekden frÅn andra sidan brÄnner dess bo

Till flykt, Kristus och de tolv tar
AllsmÄktige herre, fÆrlorad och stupad

RÆken stiger under himlen sÅ klar

Evig Äro denna nattsliga rit
Rus sÅ starkt, fÆr alltid i vener flyta
Andlig tystnad, mina tankar flyter fritt

LÅt aldrig ljuset Återigen be

I panik det ska mÆta sitt slut
Vision sÅ kristall klar, lÅt mina Ægon se

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Sorhin's "Godhetens Fall" depict a bleak and chilling scene of impending death and destruction. The lyrics suggest that this night is cold and bleak, and death will grow from it. The sun will never shine again, and the earth will fall into a hesitant state. There is no light to torment anymore, and when the oak tree from the other side burns its abode, there will be no escape for anyone.

The mention of Christ and the twelve disciples suggests a religious aspect to this song. The all-powerful Lord is lost and fallen, and the smoke rises under the clear sky. The eternal ritual of the night and the strong rush always flows in the veins. Spiritual silence pervades, and the thoughts flow freely. The lyrics are rife with darkness, despair, and decimation, leaving a bleak picture of the apocalypse.
