It's the beginning
It's our last fight
It is the end of our journey
Though it's not over
Because it starts right now
And lasts forever
So come, rejoice, listen to the herald's voice
This is the story of hungry hearts
Of two forsaken souls aiming for the stars
The greatest battle was never won
So let's revive this tale for future wars to come

The Battle

The tried to warn me to not give in
To not believe the lies the feed us everyday
But now I'm gazing across the hill
As far as my eyes can see thousands followed me
I know already that most of them
Will not survive this battle we drifted into
Sooner or later they'll realize
No one will sing their songs and tell us how they died
And I hear their desperate screams
As they return towards the soil
That nourished each and every single one of those lost souls
Is there nothing we can do to free ourselves from pain
Without giving up our pride?
I gaze upon you in the battle heart
I have to take your life to safe the world tonight
And as we're fighting, I'm drowning in your eyes
This is our destiny and death is the lover's prize

War-Torn Lovers

Everyone dies for a reason
So none of us is to blame
My fate was sealed many moons ago
Calling my ancestors' spirits
To guide me into the dark
Not everyone walks through golden halls
Hear my call, as we fall
Flames are consuming my body
I'm leaving the planes of the earth
And wait for the warm embrace of the night
Scream my name, hearts aflame
And as we rise, we fall
And as we die, we crawl
Out of our mortal remains
Onto the spherical planes
We are bound by fate
By sword and flame
Our Kingdoms shall prosper
The beasts we shall tame
Look what has happened
Once we gave in
As we stopped fighting
And confessed we're akin
War-Torn Lovers
Warriors at heart
At the clash of the world
Our legacy lives
Look how our soldiers are fighting
They still believe in the cause
Let's free them from their misguided curse
Hear my call, as we fall
Scream my name, hearts aflame

Oh Lord

Every night I am praying
But there's no one to answer my call
And I know, I can't keep waiting
If I do, I am sure that I'll fall
Yet it's hard to believe I let centuries pass
Without getting a message from you
Now I'm stuck in this world made of envy and steel
I feel so alone without you
But you know, every empire falls
And makes way for a new dawn at lasst
And each time I am hoping that you
Will just rise from its ashes and shine
Oh Lord please forgive me the times I have cursed
For letting me rot in this hell
I have stopped to believe that your mercy is real
Why can't you just lift this spell?
Just when everything is burning and lightning fills the sky
I see you again in my dreams
I know why I am waiting and I can carry on
A thousand years since you've been gone

If Elric had a soundtrack it would be this. It's everything you want from a epic metal album. Like a hot poker in the eye, but in a good way.

So I can't leave a long enough review to say everything I want. But I will say this, I love this EP. It's a great little follow up to times, and has just enough of a dynamic shift in sound to prove that Smoulder isn't a one trick pony with their first album's formula. This one really plays up the 70s prog aspects (DUST and Manilla Road influences definitely shine through even harder here). It's still Smoulder, don't get me wrong. Just a different side in some ways, all of which are good.
