lyrics

In the halls of Aurdeen, the victor's feast was laid,
All reveled in triumph, the spoils of war displayed,
The nobles of Tírgréin boasted in pride,
As the archbishop entered, a warning to provide.

Tell me now, oh king Morn,
is it faith, or is it coin
are you noble, pious man
or deceiving charlatan

Mind your words, dear archbishop!
You threaten me in front of all?
Our people paid for that land in blood.
While you sat on a shiny throne.

Not in hundred years
could Ocraine launch attack
tell me now, oh archbishop
why should I give it back?

Because such is the law
Well I am the law
The light is the law
Then I am the light!

The Archbishop implored king Morn to see reason,
And return the conquered lands to Ocraine, in a season,
But Morn's pride and greed stood in the way,
As he refused to give up his spoils of war that day.

King Morn didn't see reason
Take the archbishop to prison!
Strip him of titles and land
I will not stand his treason

Like a house of cards
as wind blows it apart
the king has crossed a line
and there is no coming back

Echoes of the Past
by Kaatarakt

Kaatarakt's Echoes of the Past is as close to my musical style as I ever found. It is epic, full of energy and beautiful melodies. No dull, filler riffs to make the songs longer. Yar Tarvadan

Chanson de la Croisade
by Lemuria

This album is like a movie. When I listen to it, I can see the scenes in front of my eyes. Dramatic storytelling is something I'd like to achieve with my songs, too, although in less 'cinematic' take. Yar Tarvadan

PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it. That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter. Matten

Beautiful, haunting, and incredibly engaging. I'm listening to this and looking out the window at snow falling -what could be more perfect? An incredible record; highly recommended. It's truly beautiful, and that's not a word I often use for metal, but this is powerful stuff. somethingsomething9
