The Adversary was the second song written for the album, back in 2015. It has a slightly different sound from the rest of the album, but still retains much of the technicality seen on songs like Into Depravity and In Aeternum.

lyrics
Today I rise above
Usurp the throne
Wage war in heaven
And claim my rule
Today the almighty
Falls from the sky
At first light of morning
Your father dies
From this day on
I will be known as adversary
The tops of mountains and clouds beneath me
Paradise lays silent
As time seems to crawl
Speechless expressions
Watching heaven fall
A choir of angels
Weeps to the sky
As the throne lies empty
I hold his head up high
From this day on
I will be known as adversary
The tops of mountains and clouds beneath me
From this day
My name lives
on your lips
Forget not
I dig this album so much, definitely a keeper. Subtly and masterfully mixing death metal subgenres, backed with an over the top production. They're true professionals. Can't wait for their next release! doive
Another seamless blend of extreme genres from Stortregn. Killer riffs, tasty basslines, and lots of fun tech influences in the composition and instrumentation make this an absolute banger front to back. Facepalming Panda
