Shadow I've Become

A phantom apprentice
Since the fall
My life preserved through rage
A ghost among the stars
Through it all
I'm trapped inside a cage
By the hand of an old enemy
I can't escape this hell
See the shadow I've become
On the planet of twin suns
You will always be the one
I'll find you
A spectre always on the run
But it's only just begun
You'll know the power I have won
To end you
Arise
Son of Dathomir
Arise
Son of Dathomir
A spirit, the architect of death
The dark will rise once again
By the hand of an old enemy
I can't escape this hell
See the shadow I've become
On the planet of twin suns
You will always be the one
I'll find you
A spectre always on the run
But its only just begun
You'll know the power I have won
To end you
Arise
Son of Dathomir
See the shadow I've become
On the planet of twin suns
You will always be the one
A spectre always on the run
But it's only just begun
You'll know the power I have won
See the shadow I've become
On the planet of twin suns
You will always be the one
A spectre always on the run
But it's only just begun
I will find you
See the shadow I've become
On the planet of twin suns
You will always be the one
I'll find you
A spectre always on the run
But it's only just begun
You'll know the power I have won
To end you

Embrace the Arcane
05:02
|

|
In your darkest hour
Guidance
Is what you ask of them
On the ground you will plead
Mercy, is what you ask of them
In the everlasting silence
You're never free of them
All the persevering voices
You're never free of them
Fear of leaving them
At hell's gate
Seal your fate
Embrace the arcane
Or fear, losing your name
Embrace the arcane
Embrace the arcane
In your heart you know there's no way
You can escape from them
This forsaken state you despair
You must escape from them
Rip your life from them
Feel the hate
Reject your fate
Embrace the arcane
And accept, their mark will remain
Embrace the arcane
Guidance, mercy
Silent journey
Guidance, mercy
Silent journey
Feel the hate
Reject your fate
Embrace the arcane

World in Flames

The world around us in flames
But we watch, 'til nothing remains
Hold on, to everything you know
'Cause we're not gonna' see tomorrow
If you'd known
Would you change the way you feel
If they'd shown
You the truths you'd thought unreal
Death's bewitching embrace
Feel your heart race
As you falter and fall
This, this is the way
Reckoning day
The end of it all
The world around us in flames
But we watch, 'til nothing remains
Hold on, to everything you know
'Cause we're not gonna' see tomorrow
When none remember our names,
They'll still know, that we were to blame
Right now, do everything you know
Or they're not gonna' see tomorrow
If we'd just
Live to learn, not let it die
Then we must
Strive to change, the end is nigh
Life's welcome embrace
Will soon fall from grace
This planet will fall
The stars, aligned in the sky
Oceans run dry
The end of it all
The world around us in flames
But we watch, 'till nothing remains
Hold on, to everything you know
'Cause we're not gonna' see tomorrow
No, we're not gonna' see tomorrow
No, we're not gonna' see
No, we're not gonna' see
No, we're not gonna' see tomorrow

Whispering Death
04:59
|
|||
|
Skeletons lie on the ground
Their bones are cracked
Their hands are bound
Death a mist across the land
The fog is thick
No light at hand
Morning-star will guide you home
Through the dark
Your tomb to roam
Swords and shields lay on the ground
The metal rusted
Fight renowned
Souls wander across the land
The ghosts of war with no command
Morning-star will guide you home
Through the dark
Your tomb to roam
Cross through the void
Your spirit destroyed
The Dark Angel comes
Madness takes over
Speaking in tongues
Doomsday moves closer
The fear that's inside
It's taking over
Nowhere to hide
From whispering death
Through the shroud you stumble on
With death you march
Your soul is gone
To eternal rest you go
With no more fighting
No more woe
Morning-star will guide you home
Through the dark
Your tomb to roam
Cross through the void
Your spirit destroyed
The Dark Angel comes
Madness takes over
Speaking in tongues
Doomsday moves closer
The fear that's inside
It's taking over
Nowhere to hide
From whispering death
In the midnight shadow
All dreams are forgotten
Nightmares fade away
To a whispering death
Angel of death
Lord of the dying
Cross through the void
Your spirit destroyed
The Dark Angel comes
Madness takes over
Speaking in tongues
Doomsday moves closer
And closer and closer and closer
The fear that's inside
It's taking over
Nowhere to hide
From whispering death

Red Sun Rises

|
As we march towards our death
We will take our final breath
Charge head-first into the fray
We are dying today
But we can't stand and wait
No, can't change our fate
No, won't change our fate yeah
Fight and die as one
Your time has come to leave us
Souls will be shaken
Fear will awaken
Now as the red sun rises
When it seems all hope is gone
There's no strength to carry on
Stand up, ride on and
Fight and die as one
Your time has come to leave us
Souls will be shaken
Fear will awaken
Now as the red sun rises
Fight and die as one
Your time has come to leave us
Souls will be shaken
Fear will awaken
Now as the red sun rises
Red sun rises
Die as one
Red sun rises
Die as one
Fight and die as one
Ride out Rohan's soldier sons
Fight and die as one
Your time has come to leave us
You are the ones
Rohan's soldier sons
Ride out to ruin and victory
Ride out! Fight as one
Ride out! Fight as one

The Dream Is Over...
03:44
|
|||
|
Footsteps echo down the hall
Their heart's racing, their down for a fall
Put out my cigarette, my pistol at the ready
No time to waste when the whole worlds against me
When the dream is finally over
I'll see you someday
I swear
Lived my life looking over my shoulder
I'll see you again
Somewhere
Out there nobody can hear you scream
Blood for the money, you know what I mean
Gotta' do what I have to, to get by
Whatever happens, it's do or die
When the dream is finally over
I'll see you someday
I swear
Lived my life looking over my shoulder
I'll see you again
Somewhere
There's no escape
No time to waste
No point in livin'
If not for today
There's no way back
To the past jet black
I'll dream in silence
You're gonna' carry that weight

Steel is for the humans
The ones that hate just for the thrill
Silver is for monsters
The ones that bite and kill
As their blood falls from my blade
I see their life begin to fade
No mercy for the wicked
Woah
Woah
No mercy for the wicked
Woah
Woah
No mercy for the wicked
Men and monsters are the same
Oh one and all they feel the pain
And if the price you give is right
I will now rid you of your plight
No mercy for the wicked
Woah
Woah
No mercy for the wicked
Woah
Woah
No mercy for the wicked
The lesser of two evils
Is not to choose at all
But in the darkness of the night
You'll hear the Witcher's call
A war between worlds
When will it ever end
A world split in two
What will it take to mend
Listen to this earnest warning
And you will be spared
You will be saved
Ignore it and you will be headed
Straight for an early grave
A war between worlds
When will it ever end
A world split in two
What will it take to mend
All this bad blood between you
Won't you let it lie
Through all the bloodshed and the hate
You haven't looked beyond your fate
It plagues your mind, clouds your thoughts
The root of evil inside
Anger, suffering, always near
You lead your life controlled by fear
Pull this out from within you
From the depths of your tainted soul
Face to face with the demon, it's your life to hold
Don't let this rule you
No mercy for the wicked
Woah
Woah
No mercy for the wicked
Woah
Woah
No mercy for the wicked

I once brought pain and suffering,
All for a fierce sense of fealty
But when I stand at the walls of my fate
That sense of duty starts to crack and break
Lost to the wind, my young soldier boy,
You will always be remembered
I failed to see the fool I had become
My greatest failure, I had failed my son
They call me dragon of the west,
But that's a name I left long ago
So lay my spirit down to rest, among the vines
To be with my son again
A nation at war with the world,
Will never prosper or grow
But the lotus flower lingers ever on
White leaves fall to the ground, the Past forgone
They call me dragon of the west,
But that's a name I left long ago
So lay my spirit down to rest, among the vines
To be with my son again
Hope rises when the fire is spent
And takes root in the earth
The four become one, a new life in the air
The water will wash away what's left
They call me dragon of the west,
But that's a name I left long ago
So lay my spirit down to rest, among the vines
To be with my son again
They call me dragon of the west,
But that's a name I left long ago
So I must pass my final test, to be with you again
I'll come marching home and you will never be alone
Little soldier boy
Come marching home
My brave soldier boy
Come marching home

Under the Spell of Destruction
by Legendarium
supported by 5 fans who also own “At Hell's Gate”
Under the Spell of Destruction almost feels like an album uncovered from an alternate timeline. It's a world where the spirit of 80s NWOBHM and 70s Post-Punk continues, and renaissance faires are running all year round. This saga of 11 journeys evokes images of gothic architecture, medieval tragedy, and the Grim Reaper wearing shades and collecting heads while cruising in his black Pontiac Firebird.
