1600 the year of rebirth
At the steps of the alter denied
In the shadow of the priest
Has your faith only been a lie?
What comes when we question belief?
Will we be forgotten in time?
Your words they mean nothing to me
And I’m prepared to die
You stand accused before us
Of crimes against the church
What is this blasphemy you speak?
Your lies are buried in the earth
1600 the year it begins
My beliefs they won’t be denied
In a journey for the truth
I didn’t make up this lie
What comes when you threaten religion?
I will sacrifice myself today
And become the martyr for science
I refuse to fade away
Recant all that you’ve said
Or we’ll send you to death
What madness can this be?
These lies that you teach?
Recant all that you’ve said
Or we’ll send you to death

The Last Templars
07:05
|
|||
|
We ride on through the night
White mantles glowing in the moonlight
An order to defend the cross
And stand through the ages
We ride along by gods will
As the smoke slowly covers the sun
We will fight on ‘til our final breath
In this desert the battle must be won
We are the last templar’s
Crusaders we fight alone
Are the holy lands truly lost?
Will we be forced to atone?
We are bound until the end of time
A promise made upon our honor
We will die before we break it
So bring the storm and darkened skies
Their armies set before us
Rising from the sea
Our last battle fought on that day
A legend lives forever
From the earth I rise no longer alone
Free to defend the hand of god
A fire shining as bright as the sun
An oath forged in blood
Defenders of life along the road
Warriors of safe passage
Protectors of the grail and holy lands
Our duty is set in stone

Into The Blight
05:19
|
|||
|
In the age of Legends
An ancient war is waged
Between light and darkness
Insanity consumes him
A family's cursed to die
He ends his life in madness
On the last day of the blood snow
With Cries like thunder
Born again on the mountain
Prince of the dawn, Defender of the light
With the mark of the dragon
Rotten and bare the dark ones mark across the land
A Crimson earth it burns in the sun
The earth here turns to dust and falls from the mountain
A barren waste full of ruin, into the blight
On these lifeless sands
A battle to the death
Will this be his final end?
Raise the banners high
He's not the man you knew
A dragon reborn
Cast from two rivers to the Sea of Storms
A warrior’s reborn
The prophecy is spoken in the stone of tear
A savior that was promised?

Flesh To Bone
04:23
|
|||
|
This war it never ends
I write with blood and tears
As our plane descends
We fly across the ocean
With god on our side
Dark skies surround us now
As our plane flies through the night
These deserts sands turn flesh to bone
We fall on barren plains
I try to write but there are no words left in me
We walk across the desert and into history
Blindness takes us now
One last breath and I’m free
These desert sands turn flesh to bone
These desert winds, they call me home
Another day in the burning sun
Another night goes by and we’re just a memory
I can’t see, I can’t breathe through this pain
Another year goes by and we’re just a memory

Bridge Of Souls
06:12
|
|||
|
When we find our time is near
And we shed this mortal coil
We find our soul on a new path
A crossing from this world to the next
Figures stand before us
The keepers of the bridge
Conscience, covenant and justice
All judging how we lived
On the bridge of souls
Will we find the house of song?
There’s only one path to truth
A journey of right and wrong
Raise the gates and sound the horn
Your journey now begins
Damnation for the wicked?
From a life of sin
The bridge it stands before you
Is it wide enough to pass?
Have you lived your life in chaos?
Have you made it home at last?

Faces In The Firelight
05:10
|
|||
|
Stories passed down through the ages
Of ancient guardians
Defending against invaders
As stone they stand as one
What lies within these walls?
Thoughts of endless gold
Will these legends come to life?
Or forever remain stone?
As we ride together
No words are spoken
Are we almost at the end?
Our last days fall upon us
Our destiny awaits
Is our bravery found in the end?
See the faces in the firelight
Solemn figures pray
God give us the strength to face our enemy
Watch the shadows as the grow
And daylight starts to fade
Lord guide our hand and help us to victory
As we reach the ridge
And stare down to the valley
Figures too large to believe
And as we charge the gates
A slight hesitation in us
Off to our fates we do ride!

Guardians Of The Temple
05:50
|
|||
|
Through the mist we ride, torches light the way
Ancient heroes on the path as darkness turns to day
Soldiers of fortune, defenders of the faith
Sentinels they stand before us, as we reach the gate
Steel and stone ignite the earth and arrows light the sky
Charging through eternal flame, where heroes come to die
Death for the battle our heroes die today
Bodies falling all around us, as the cities' raised
Life forever lasting
Protectors for all time
Defenders through the ages
Born but will never die
Warriors of forever
Lost in endless battle
From the dawn of time
They’re Guardians of the temple

The Garden Of Persephone
06:21
|
|||
|
In a dark world the sun never shines
A king grows weary of a life alone
Horses ride from the fire that flows
A bride is stolen, never to return home
Winter comes and the earth it withers
The sky grows dark and the wind starts to call
Life to death, cold chills to the bone
When the snow flies the last rose of summer falls
Daughter of Olympus
Taken from her home
Down to the depths of the underworld
Shadow kingdom, a home she doesn’t know
The only life here is this garden of tears
There go the loves that wither
The old loves with weary wings
Dead dreams of days long forsaken
From hope and fear set free
This lonely tired river
Winds somewhere safe to sea
No star or sun shall waken
They sleep in eternal night
Only when she’s free again
All dead years return to light

Iron & Glass
07:16
|
|||
|
The dawn breaks in Gilead
Three lives forever changed
Their lessons at an end
Their youth washes away with the rain
In the light of a new day
Is there time to reflect on the past?
Will times gift of life
See it end too quickly
My story flows out on the river Whye
Of A love not meant to be
A sacrifice for my quest
Her ghost haunts me endlessly
Vile hunters on this road
Their journey in time ends today
With iron and glass we seal their fate
And in the past their ashes lay
Witch of darkness holding glass
An orb to see into the void
Slowly draining her of life
Her treachery is soon exposed
Love is real if only for a moment
Time is wasted on the young
And in the end as before
Do we learn of a life eternal?

Heard literally one song from this album, bought the whole discography without a second thought. It's great for someone to make a strong album, but it's damn impressive to make 4 in about as many years. Awesome!

Impressive old-school, guitar-driven power metal, just the basics without necessary fat. Basically a one-man band (except for the drums), delivering some consistent metal awesomeness. If you like more of this, get the whole discography.
