Ominous the darkest night A shady rain beclouds the sight Mystic haze surrounds the mind The Voyager is rambling blind For gloominess ensnares his vale lights the torch to no avail Into a vast and empty world The disciple of doubt is hurled Ventures out for his own story Seeker of sooth that he shall be Eager to grasp what he may meet Wasting no thought on his defeat Fondly engaged to face the hate Never ready to meet his fate The nemesis to be defied Will be the one not to join his side That devout the voyager moves on As the self-proclaimed new break of dawn As the unremarked phenomenon As the break of dawn he mounts the throne Craving to use the might he yields And phase the outfit that he leads Then lead them to the battle fields Die for me, die for me The predators are on the hunt Emanate a blazing dread Ghouls will graze the battlefront Therewith one attends the dead Keep it up and march! The voyager has come this far looking back on his achievement Looks up and sees the final star Knows with the dawn the night will end Steadily swapping light with light Behold the voyager reborn Who's chasing shadows with delight With reason all lost and forlorn So the voyager gets stronger Emerges as the warmonger Thus wayfaring deep into the war Armed with grimness, sound the battle cries Yield the lightning, let the thunder roar Devastate the stars and clear the skies Awake dwell until the dawn Waiting for the sun to spawn While the world is slowly drifting away And for a brighter tomorrow With endless darkness to follow While the world is slowly drifting away

Forging the steel Arming the heel We are the mad and the damned Mischief augments by our hand And destruction will fly The end we do signify Riding the downwards spiral Every twirl appearing viral Homeward bound I now do roam Insanity is my home Life denied Hope denied Sense denied No more light Life denied Hope denied Sense denied No more light End of the line Walking through the dark back alley All set for the grand finale Menacingly leaving the lair Charging into black despair All words are said, the end I entwine I'm a zealot, and the hour is mine

Cast into the fire A funeral is dire And once upon a time We accepted that decline You shall stand still without any motion Now run to your hill watch the worlds corrosion You're appraising your size before rolling the dice You are leaving your post For one who pays the most Betraying your ideal If it was to betray Lost your sense for what was real Or where your mind was yesterday You are hedging your bets You're endorsing the rats While aiming for the kill You're entering the fray You don't want to ask the question That is fine by me Excavate the tomb and raise the flag of doom Just follow your obsession And forget from what you flee Excavate the tomb and raise the flag of doom Time Brings you close and brings you near to the end of your prime And one day you will be dead And you know that you're afraid of the ghosts that will haunt you When your own grave becomes due And the flag of doom will wave right above your grave After all the shady toil With the demons you share soil And the flag of doom waves on

Harbinger 01:08
Thus a story comes to it's end. The harbinger has landed. The bringer of woe has entered the realm, annexing thy domain. Spheres of fear like tiny blisters fermenting in the dark. Thee may not believe the unsettling presence that meets the eye. But a matter of moment? Your opinion is nothing alike and has never been. Worlds have always turned and will stop when asked to. Someone may just have challenged that very affair.

Prepare the final panic and conceal the actual truth Create the mighty maniac who dissembles ancient ruth At first there were the sapients They were wandering around So needy for dependance To no intent they were bound Arising as a leader From the rabble of the dumb He is the first deceiver Who shall make the world go numb He is the first deceiver Who shall make the world go numb He will face the fight and in the end prevail No matter if he's right Contestants bid him hail Makes the aimless walk a mile Brings the purpose to the void Leads the legions of the futile whose subtle minds he will exploid Bringing together what would otherwise stray Uniting their hearts by eating their souls Replacing their lifes with purpose and goals And greedily feasting on their minds decay Thus spoke the first deceiver With the world at his feet Yield to the curing fever When two deceivers meet

about

The long wait has finally come to an end!
Space Doom fans and experts alike can at last celebrate the outcome of a prolonged breeding process of gloom and doom.

After five years of silence the new full length album by Nautical Division has arrived, spreading its baleful messages once more to remind one of the omnipresent forlorness in time and space.

Even though I would like to be taken serious as proclaimer of doom, I would like to thank my girlfriend, family and friends for their patience and support during the protracted making of this album!
Also special thanks to Adrian for your great feedback
and to Bodo for bestowing your awesome voice upon this opus!
