lyrics

There ain't nothin’ like the thrill of the hunt
The slaking of the sharpened blade
The twilight of the enemy
Calling me to an early grave

It's curtains call
I've had my final say
For tonight
We gather the blood in our veins
And avenge the remains of our shattered lives

How could we ever turn this steed around
And find the path of glory?
It's in those first few steps
That we find our rightful story

This life was never said to be easy
So slake your blade
Bind your wounds in the night
Every night after night until the night is over
When the folly of grief comes crashing down
We find our highest selves
On the path thats narrow
Cuz that's just the Arc of the Arrow

Never bending the knee
Never cry out for relief
forever burning free
Obsessed with victory

The blood in my veins rides the storm tonight
and I strain
To find my rhythm as I glide
Across a hinterland that cries
And the Gods ever cheer for our climb

The strength of enchanted blood
Wallowing souls haunting the heights

The Spindles spin
A Hero’s hymn
A chance for fate to reclaim
A world so bleak
And dreary thin
Katabasis of the chosen one
and we fight on well into the night
Bright gleaming helms will glitter in the light

My life as an arrow
Shot from the bow of my kin
And I soar higher and higher by their good grace alone
To find my purpose through the aim of their gaze
And then to beautifully return to the earth
Exactly where they intended

There's a storm brewing in my blood
It's raising hell by the lotus that buds
The balance of the soul seems to compose
Shangri-La seems closed

Ooooh, this band makes thrash fun (and remind me of their label mates Gravesend in that fashion). I hear a lot of (newer) Kreator influences, which is to my likings! dcdirkzwager

Good and fast old school thrash reminding me of Toxic Holocaust and Municipal Waste. I really like all songs here too so it’s hard to pick just one as favourite. Highly recommended for all metalheads liking the above mentioned bands and fast paced thrash in general. sachavonkarl74

Melodic death metal that crushes and rules. At times it sounds like the Gothenburg melodeath pioneers we all love, and at times it sounds grim and dangerous. Warangelic
