Song title: Nile - Churning The Maelstrom

Edit By: 216.73.216.44

From They Who Hath Burnt in Flames
From Words of Power Uttered By the

Even Before the Terrors of The Abyss
Who Gathers The Power
From The Wailing And Lamentations
Of The Shades Chained Therein
From He Who Createth Gods From
The Silence Alone
