Behemoth is an influential Polish blackened death metalband. They are considered to have played one of the most important roles in establishing the Polish extreme metal underground, alongside Gravelandand Sacrilegium. Until the early 2000's, the band played rather classical black metalwith heathen lyrical content, but soon changed to occult and thelemic themes written by their lead vocalist (Nergal) and the occultist and poet Krzysztof Azarewicz. This coincided with an increase in musical craftsmanship that allowed them to move beyond the black metal underground and garnered them some international recognition. With the 2004 release of Demigod, they had fully embraced brutal technical death metal while retaining their own signature style characterized by the staggering drumwork of Inferno, multi-layered vocals and Nile-style middle-eastern influence.

Hidden In A Fog Lyrics

Behemoth

Night in the mountains comes with the fly of a raven
Carpathians bathed in the light of the moon
In old ruins where the dying shadows
Are watching the shine from the stars
Nobody remembers days of glory
Several hundreds years passed in silence
Not a soul has been seen here
I am standing on a hill
So silent is the sky
I am drinking in the cold of this night
Old grey wolf lying upon my foots
Is licking the hand of mine
It is night... in my heart
It is moon... in my eyes
I am hidden in a fog - my own breath
Small village in a valley
Sleeping in a fear, in a fear of me !
Loathsome race of the mortals
Magic of wolfish teeths, wings of bats
Faithful guards of religion
Old as the blood itself -
- The Cult of the Undead Vampirism !
Frenzy of lust, frenzy of pain
She was only fourteen
No cry has bursted from her lips
Pity that she had to die
But how sweet was her neck...
It is night... in my heart
It is moon... in my eyes
I am hidden in a fog - my own breath
Sometimes only my anthem of triumph
Echoes in mountainous landscape
Like blood from thorned open arteries
Poison flows down the tongue
Somewhere far away a howling can be heard
Oh, how beautiful is the night of Transylvania !
Frenzy of lust, frenzy of pain
Blood is life... ETERNAL !
