The Last One to Fall

Born was he of mothers nine
Raised was he on solar fire
The bridge to the heavens where he now stands
Splits the realms of gods and man
The crimson fire from depths below
The azure skies where cold winds blow
The emerald depths of eternal seas
To warn the day of the final siege
High above in hallowed skies
The fallen ones with Valkyries ride
See his golden armor shine
His horn shall blow and all shall rise
Gather we all here who fought and died
In the final days, we will stand by his side
Down from the heavens with honor we'll fight
In midwinter's chill, at dawn's first light
On the day of the battle
You will hear his call
Steadfast, triumphant
The last one to fall
The call to arms
The final war
A final breath and not one more
Right here we will stand
At the end of times
Mighty in our wrath
Awaiting the sign
Death foretold to us
In the prophecy
So on we will fight
It's our destiny

A Thousand Lies (Medley)

Living our lives in a spiritual prison
Serving a god in his infinite wisdom
Three hundred years from the day we retreated
Might and marauder sublimely defeated
"Why can't you see you are blind?
Your sanity left behind
Treachery without shame
Your sinful mind to blame"
Wretched, barbaric and ignorant beings
Silenced by force and the lies they are feeding
Fearing descent into maddening splendor
New faith created for them to surrender
"No man will heed your words
A dogma quite absurd
You're playing with your life
Headed for endless strife"
Axes grinding, twisting as I see our fate unfold
Devilry and insolence for centuries untold
"Power till mankind's fall
Within these ivory walls
Our reign will be undone
Beyond the blackened sun
The light of day will pass
Their age has come at last"

New Dawn Arise

Spirit born of flame
In ancient mute decay
In solitude we are reborn
Like a winter's eve
So pale and gray it came
While ashes lay upon my grave
Bound forevermore
A new dawn arise
A hope in the dark
Forever reborn
With blood on his hands
This morning journey
A sign of fate
It holds me close
And speaks to me in tongues of fire
Wordless in the dark they preach
Unleashed into the night
A new dawn arise
A hope in the dark
Forever reborn
With blood on his hands
Running and hunting forever it seems
Eluding the castaway
Forging a path for the hope tomorrow
A future gone astray
Glory forsaken for you held the line
A future plain to see
Given to suffer, is this how it ends?
Are we just martyrs of your misery?
A new dawn arise
A hope in the dark
Forever reborn
With blood on his hands

Outside of time
Ancestral mystery
Fathering Andean crypts and wandering to sea
Swallowed by doldrums to an unknown destiny
We shall take flight
Six netherworlding farers’ history
Our trades are many though our instruments are few
To forge an ancient passage in Tuamotu
Gone with the floods
Our only hope to cross the jungle’s ends
But still with baited breath I know we’ll find a way to run the Devil’s haul
Shore in retreat
As it is with greater horizons on the other side
The sails hoisted and the banners raised up high
Our Equatorial admission drawing nigh
The waves’ conceit
Will surely find a way to turn the tide
Through glaucous chasms with their misting ivory crowns
The coastal epochs clouding up and backing down
On the horizon
Storming the sea
The ocean howling endlessly
Tectonic vengeance
Winds of the east
Tiding the nords to the mark of the beast
Our vessel is wasted
I am drenched to the bone
Ashore with this oaken messiah of stone
Crowning the reef
With eastern spoils for our company
My feet within the sands I gaze upon the stars
Witnessing missionary failures from afar
On high relief
Callao to copra grinning oversea
One hundred suns afield we’ve forged upon the mast
Three score our kin will find them in the looking glass

I'm not normally the biggest fan of Power Metal, but for some reason I will always enjoy Visigoth. Final Spell is a great EP that can always get your blood pumping in a fun way. The vocals are easily my favorite part. Definitely an album that every Power Metal fan should listen to.
