lyrics

Panacea, cure all that ails me and fill my veins with life
Aqua Vitae, draw clarity to my eyes and post colour through my mind
The sheen of glass, glistening with the beads of sweat
That flow like sand through the hourglass
While burning coals from the fire unkempt dance
A waltz in the throat, dry river flow, all facets of life feel the glow
Ten long years of folly, trials, and tears… and now my opus has arrived
One mere step into this orphaned land and you become its child
When the shadows fold their hands and drag impurities away
Then the unity of opposites reveals
I am presented with the torch and lunar consciousness prevails
Fusing spirit with the matter of the Earth
The desert moans and my legend’s writ in sand
But every grain weaves tales and histories of man
The Earth speaks and its voice is of one tongue
And the falcon’s marriage with wind is one of love
Lure of gold, when the aether melts away
Triumph of gold, as the sun hides in shame
Lure of gold, when the aether melts away
Triumph of gold, as the stars blush with pride
(Solo: J. Wright)
Triumph of gold

Having come from various influences such as thrash, melo-death, and power metal, they wrote a handful of early demo tracks to settle on an overall sound for the group. Alex Kot joined on bass in 2009. ... more

Loads of Cliff Burton-era Metallica and Iron Maiden in a 2018 production. Fat layers of excellent vocals not heard since Dio. Form and function match up perfectly. FallenAngel

The songs are masterfully composed and flow together beautifully, and the orchestration is exactly how I want metal orchestration to sound: full, playable by a real orchestra, and just as important to the music as the vocals, drums, guitar, and bass are. tonycordeshimself
