viejoantifascista this is great and everything ClassyMusicSnob said is wrong (except for the part about Ayloss being a great songwriter) Favorite track: The High Mage.

zauceboss I would do anything for more of this. Soaring vocals are almost operatic at times, some of the best heavy metal riffs I've ever heard, based antifascist lyrics, all combine to create an intricate, gorgeous, and incomparable soundscape. This is an absolute masterpiece. Favorite track: Sword Of Traitors.

ClassyMusicSnob This is a fun little album that plays some nice homage to Iron Maiden, Manilla Road and Cirith Ungol. The riffs are well written and catchy, but Ayloss really should hire an actual singer and make Spectral Lore an actual band, or spend time and money on voice lessons. His throaty growls are decent, but his singing voice is not good at all. This is listenable because he is a great songwriter though. 3/5 Favorite track: Sword Of Traitors.

Old as time, the unholy book Hidden in a dark chamber Away from the eyes of the powerful Squires from all over the world Will congregate In search of truth, valor and beauty Imagination runs wild On mystic equations and forbidden words Declarations of mighty defiance Against the mace and the whip Yet soon enough the pages come to an end The ink vanishes into blankness And the young student wonders why Raise the mighty pen, you child! For the next chapter is yours This is your duty and this your right And this is our book's difference No word without deed No doctrine eternal No truth unchallenged Those who read, so will they write
2.
Brought to our knees, in rank and file On the conscription line Deep into dark mines, high into glass towers Or into the gallows end Do not be fooled, the steel calls to us too And its name is Clarent We shall take your scorn and your hate We shall embrace being called traitors To your treacherous order, we'll show no faith To the will of the few, playing chess with our lives We will not comply Did you really think that the steel is not meant for us? Did you believe that the wretched Will be always complicit in their own demise? Mordred, by your last dying breath Thrust your sword into the bowels of the tyrant They may have turned the world upside down Called light as dark and have shown locks as keys But we'll never become what they desire We shall forever be our own masters, true and eternal

When the night falls and the mundane world grows silent I lie in bed and remember the sunlit pastures And wind kissed meadows of my youth After a while, the waves in the promenade call to me Mystic voices from far dimensions loom on the horizon And a hand holding steel emerges from the water once again I shall sail to far away lands To discover the mystery I had left abandoned In the eye of the storm I shall stand with open arms At the house of the beast I shall strike, no matter how close I shall fulfill the promise To my younger self Through the fire of the forge I shall pass my shapeless soul At the heart of it all I shall learn my dearest truth The gods of war have taught That indomitable will Is the answer to the riddle of steel While the lords of dreams That reality should be my guide No matter how far I stray I see fallen warriors And the ruin that they brought And then I understand That all the strength and all the knowledge Is never quite enough I must choose in the end Between love and hate Αs to the center of my soul

A force cuts through the night, a path of ancient power A mage travels through it, mightier than the wind Mightier than the wind Revenge burns in her heart, mutiny in her mind These plains now she must cross, her comrades to warn Of impending doom, by the same hands her lover killed "Hear me now lost one, your name is Tattersail, Your sorcery is Thyr, the path of Light The Warren flows within you, it animates you It is time to bring you back" Βitter are the strings of fate, the plots of Gods and men Entangle us in whole, our movement not our own This time she'll open the Deck of Dragons and say The only death I fear is dying ignorant At the end of the path lies a resolute friend In the face of tragedy, can I trick my fate? In the warm embrace of the crushing light Friends will join again, souls will converge A child with silver fur will be born Destiny shall smile at it
