lyrics

Searching for the man in black, on his trail for months, chasing him between continents!
Wandering through the desert for days now, I stumble upon a small town!
Twin Towers stand at the edge beside the cliff overlooking the ocean, a city built of salt, flowers of varying colors, and the river stream flows throughout!

Dark clouds begin to gather as I first enter through the city gates!
It appears that I'm too late!
He's already here!
I dont know if they have need to fear, I still haven't figured out his intentions for myself!

Streaks of Flame burst from the clouds!
Spears of Ice hail down from the sky!

I see children in their mother's arms crying! Everyone's running towards the castle!
I join them, pushing past the crowds!
Soon in the central court, this is where I'll wait, because if there is to be an appearance then it will be here!

I know nothing of the schemes he weaves! However I am sure that they are sinister, else he'd have no need to steal the sacred gem stored in the body of my King!
(Of which I've been charged to protect!)
But as I take time to reflect, he appears here in front of me up on the balcony!
He sees me in the crowd, but his speech is addressed to the town!

"Greetings! To the people of T'keltklyf, I am not but a weary traveler in need of shelter and rest!
I've been on an important quest for many a year and the reason that I am here is to aquire the sacred dagger of the Twin Suns, held for generations by this land's Princess!
I cannot stay long, however, as my mission bodes me onward!
So if the 'Royal Blood' refuses compliance, I will have to take the lives of everyone here....."

The ground beneath us tremored, ripping open the castle floor and causing the ceiling to collapse!
Pieces falling to the floor, the township's fleeing to the door!
I stand still as they all clamor past me, tripping over eachother and themselves!
Soon only I remain with him in the castle court, "What is your name?!", our hero implores!
Yet he receives no answer, only a blank stare, making him painfully aware that amidst this crisis the Royals are nowhere to be seen!
Not even their Princess, Fair!
They both look to the sky through the hole in the roof to find that smoke has replaced clouds and the winds have turned to flames!
They also can see, the Twin Towers looming!
Blegh!

Hundreds of stories high,
Princess Emilia stares out at the tide... the last surviving of her bloodline, as it was prophicied to her alone!
She now knows the truth of her destiny, what she must do to redeem the throne!
"Sealiumtun Quayayum!"
Then she throws the dagger over the edge, it drops to the deepest crevice of the ocean!
She sighs with relief, a deep breath, "Return to the Sun!", she says!
As her tower splits into halves, Slowly shifting apart...
She falls to the waters!!

if this album is anything, its incredibly well rounded. choosing to step off the gas a little bit in favor of a notably more polished sound. I dont dig it as much as psycho, but I'd be a liar if I said this is isn't a radical improvement in quality. MyNameIsRedundant

Serious aficionado level Prog/Tech Death. The unique colors they bring to this record are not really heard elsewhere. They have forged their own sound and it’s totally badass. I guess The Faceless could be mentioned for reference of similar styles/tones. They care for the song craft as much as the tasty Tech and Leads. It really is like everyone is saying....a perfect Metal experience. Salami Dick Death
