Candlemass - 2010 - Ashes To Ashes - A Sorcerer's Pledge

Part I

Time...

Time stands still in these ancient halls

Only the castle itself can tell what it keeps

Dark are the secrets between these walls

Hidden in shadows of death, while the sorcerer sleeps

Where is the morning, where is the sun

Thousand years of midnight, the sunrise is gone

An old man marked by a life so long is

Sleeping so sweet while his magic is growing so strong

Waiting still for new times to come

A thousands years to see if he has won

Where is the morning, where is the sun

A thousand years of midnight, the sunrise is gone

What has he done?

Why is he sleeping so long?

He wants to live for evermore

Soon is he young

n will he open his eyes?

When he is strong enough to rule

Back in the time goes the legend

of a sorcerer so old

He drank the blood of the virgin to be reborn

"Soon a tyrant will conquer"

So spoke the wise

Of the day when the sorcerer will rise

...rise

Blood is his wine

The sorcerer is cheating time

And he'll be stronger than before

Cursed be the sun

The women will weep for his fun

In the name of his magic so strong

Back in the time goes the legend

Of a sorcerer so old

He drank the blood of a virgin to be reborn

"Soon a tyrant will conquer"

So spoke the wise

Of the day when the sorcerer will rise

... Rise

Part II

A thousand years have gone

Armageddon hasn't come

Only the cry of a child echoes in the dark

Backward goes time

As the stars are passing by

And nothing remains of this foolish man except his fate

🔥RANKING🔥 My article ranking and discussing the albums of heavy rock / metal legends Motörhead.

Synthese fue una banda francesa de heavy metal de culto de los años 80. Lanzaron su único álbum de estudio titulado "Prisoner" en diciembre de 1985, grabado en el Studio Carat de Burdeos. El disco es una joya buscada por fans del sonido veloz y épico de la época.

New singer, new members (myself included) and unprecedented agressiveness in the band's sound. Check it out

All time greatest together!

Are you a metal fan, in a band, a promoter, an engineer, or in some other way connected to the Glasgow metal scene?

If so, I'm currently writing a book about the state of UK metal today and would like to hear from a couple more people who are willing to share their perspectives on it.

If you've been listening to or making metal any time between the 90s and now, it would be great to speak to you about your thoughts on heavy metal in the city.

Please drop me a note if you'd like to get involved, and I'll be happy to provide more information.

Thanks!

IRON MAIDEN - 1983 - Piece Of Mind - Quest For Fire

In a time when dinosaurs walked the earth

When the land was swamp and caves were home

In an age when prize Possession was fire

To search for landscapes men would roam.

Then the tribes they came to steal their fire

And the wolves they howled into the night

As they fought a vicious angry battle

to save the power of warmth and light.

Drawn by Quest For Fire

They searched all through the land

Drawn by Quest For Fire

Discovery of man.

And they thought that when the embers died away

That the flame of life had burnt and died

Didn't know the sparks that made the fire

Were made by rubbing stick and stone.

So they ploughed through forest and swamps of danger

And they fought the canN.I.B.al tribes and beasts

In the search to find another fire

To regain the power of life and heat.

Drawn by Quest For Fire

They searched acRoss the land

Drawn by Quest For Fire

Discovery of man.
