Embracing inner demons conjuring up strength to survive this horrible land of god lifeless cadavers lay to waste putrid stench of decaying flesh hangs heavy on the air tonight while rivers flow red with the blood of man impaling all light left in this wretched soul only to be devoured by obscurity cast the stone as this plague of sin runs throughout the veins growing vigorous each day, learning the skill of thievery feeding this ceaseless hunger with endless appetite no gods or strings only man will bring suffering to themselves hatred builds when yearning for others possessions as they hold it high above grieving hands greed, envy, lust when all hell has been unleash through the souls of man witness the dawning and birth of destruction wrath, pride, gluttony when all hell has been unleash through the souls of man witness the dawning and birth of destruction mankind pressing onward to evolve and exist to be endless sadness struggle for a sovereign day when all are picked off one by one run while you can the rest died cowardly, they took their own lives the rest died silently and if all hope is lost by now there will be no escape consumed by everything unholy in the depths of hell cursed for all eternity

Set adrift in this vast void, Day after day I begin this new hunt never able to adjust life, always thrown to the wolves only equipped with two hands I must rebuild, from the ground up time has no meaning from where I stand, every structure built dissolves away to the blackest pit, where do they go, no sign of ruins or debris now a faint memory covered by this fog every day is a new day never knowing what challenges await me stuck on a path I must follow to the end crossing through this wasteland, having to start again the wind covers up my tracks, my past erased build your dreams from the ground up just to watch them fall to the blackest pit creating every stone by hand just to have it be a waste of time with every passing moment from seconds to minutes, minutes to hours and hours to years with a blink of an eye its all over, with a blink of an eye its all over where do I begin and where do I end the first sign of light, I'm on the run again with no turning back, I've forgotten all days forever changed, when nights come to an end my life is thrown to the void build your dreams from the ground up just to watch them fall to the blackest pit creating every stone by hand just to have it be a waste of time

Reaching out to the stars above, where all life fears to tread realizing sacrifices must be had for mankind to pursue abandon this planet, the rock soon to be dead with all that inhabits it polluted every inch of space, leaving us with no future Impossible to regrow what we’ve destroyed we have doomed ourselves beyond this gate there lies a new world unable to control where it goes onward to our new home, to try once again we are not alone this universe true horror begins suffer throughout all time as you reach this point of no return gaze upon this abyss ruled by gods of death the day shall come when we fall down to our knees and pray for mercy in a world we don’t belong regretting our past life that was tossed aside bring forth our sacrifice to try once again we'll never forget those who gave it all this is the test of humanity your life we will repay through lessons we have lost countless souls a cursed history repeats now on and on we will never learn from our mistakes Failure to our life-force entity all scum born to die the day shall come when we fall down to our knees and pray for mercy in a world we don’t belong

We Stand on a mountain of snow waiting Taken an oath to serve and to protect the ones that call for help, Call for Help In this realm of seven kingdoms guarding till death takes us all Ride the wings of the blackest crow until the night ends We take no glory in this call of duty This path of the sword will kill all dreams to come, will kill all dreams to come Embark on a quest to train and defend this world For our kings and queens commanding us to obey While they rot in their throne, their throne of lies Ride the wings of the blackest crow until the night ends Until the night ends, until the night ends Winter is coming We Stand on a mountain of snow waiting And watching for the realm to fall Let go of all possessions Solo break Taken an oath to serve and to protect the ones that call for help, Call for Help In this realm of seven kingdoms guarding till death takes us all Night gather your army and take this oath Ride the wings of the blackest crow until the night ends

Open your eyes to uncover the truth beneath the surface of lies triggered at last The battle rages on between who is friend and foe with in the mind Growing impatient with reality seeking for an escape within dream that felt so real Betrayed by all hunted down like a savage beast with wounds bleeding out leaving a trail of blood For those to follow and finish the kill, they will fear, they will fear what you have become Unleash ancient technology freeing these people from poverty Their pain and suffering will no longer be a problem once this machine is activated at last Discombobulated by this imperfect world the Outcast of existence clinging to shadows Buried beneath the deepest depths will soon emerge Take back your lives and gain control of who you are now wake up Open your eyes to uncover what’s beneath this surface of lies Never ending loops with invisible ropes leading fate to the end Searching for answers to questions that will never be solved You walk in circles lost with no hope Fear not of what you become, a memory lost with in the dream Digging out from the eternal tomb, you have found your path home Reach out, Pull the string, Remove these blinders from the eyes Am I sleeping or is this reality once again on the edge close to enlightenment drifting back to the dream Battle rages on between who is friend and foe with in the mind they will fear, they will fear what you have become

about

Praise for 'Enduring Creation' -

"Enduring Creation has all you could ask for in a symphonic melodeath album – brutal riffs, harsh vocals, and searing melodies from the guitars and keys that offer a sense of atmosphere and serenity through the rage. 9/10"
Kyle McGinn
DeadRhetoric.com

"Overall, the music that Devils Of Loudun make is rich, complex, atmospheric, and requires some concentration from the listener to fully comprehend it. 8/10"
Timur Sizov
TheCirclePit.com

"At its most brilliant, Enduring Creation matches piano flair, shredding, and what sounds like video game backgrounds with a melange of melodic death and psychotic lapses into brutal and technical death. 7/9"
Kaptain Carbon
HollywoodMetal.com

" The Devils of Loudun .. take the melodic, technical and symphonic sides of the death metal genre and mixes them together to create a musical style of their own.. 8/10"
Variety of DeathZine

"..it’s all pretty darn impressive. From opener “Cast the Stone” to 7 minute closer “Outcast of Existence”, the six piece fires on all cylinders with rarely any let down"
E. Thomas
TeethoftheDivine.com

"..these guys have pulled off an amazing feat. 8/10"
Badger
BadgersMetalBreakdown.com

"I was hooked the instant I hit play. This is excellent melodeath with a lot of motion and a symphonic flair."
Spear
ToiletovHell.com

"Featuring the same jaw-dropping technical precision as their 2015 release, Enduring Creation builds upon the impeccable musicianship of Entering Oblivion by adding layers of hauntingly atmospheric depth and a darker, more aggressive undertone to the lead and bass guitars that drive the album."
Jason Facer
MetalAteMyBaby.com

"..good guitar solos in it, a variety of vocal techniques, piano and orchestral music, and sick drumming. 7.8/10"
John
