Is this a Clockwork Fable prequel perchance, Whatever, it blew HRH Prog away and is an absolute belter. Love it.

Another fantastic track...good hard prog anthem with Keri on vocals - if you have ever seen them live you'll know that they give 110% - roll on 2019 can't wait for the new album

about
Plucked like a rusty cog from a subterranean cavern, we're releasing this tasty morsel as our "festive" 2018 single as a sneaky peek at our upcoming 2019 album. Perhaps you can recognise some themes and place a wager on what we've got in store! This single version features a separate master from the main album version to well and truly ensure you knock Ol' Saint Nick's socks off! Enjoy!
lyrics
Blessed be the preacher
Who absolves me of my sins
A madman in the gallows
Grasping threads that now wear thin
You throw your back to the wall;
The tourniquet pulling tight
But now you feel in control;
A saviour from the night
Are you a Leader of men?
Betrayed by the end?
Torn By their innocent faces?
No time to repent
Divine your descent
The light that you seek surely blinds you
Bloodline of deception
Claret boiling from a spark
Whispered ‘insurrection’
Stir the voices in the dark
You feel disease taking hold;
A sickness of the light
And now you see it unfold
The waking warden’s eye
Are you a Leader of men?
Betrayed by the end?
Torn By their innocent faces?
No time to repent
Divine your descent
The light that you seek surely blinds you
<Instrumental>
Are you a Leader of men?
Betrayed by the end?
Torn By their innocent faces?
No time to repent
Divine your descent
The light that you seek surely blinds you
<Solo/Instrumental>
Summon forth the fire
Cast it back into the wastes
Shrouded by the iron
take the secret to my grave
You fear the hands reaching high
A nightmare forming clear
Omega, Alpha divide
You’ll bury them right here
Are you a Leader of men?
Betrayed by the end?
Torn By their innocent faces?
No time to repent
Divine your descent
The light that you seek surely blinds you
Who absolves me of my sins
A madman in the gallows
Grasping threads that now wear thin
You throw your back to the wall;
The tourniquet pulling tight
But now you feel in control;
A saviour from the night
Are you a Leader of men?
Betrayed by the end?
Torn By their innocent faces?
No time to repent
Divine your descent
The light that you seek surely blinds you
Bloodline of deception
Claret boiling from a spark
Whispered ‘insurrection’
Stir the voices in the dark
You feel disease taking hold;
A sickness of the light
And now you see it unfold
The waking warden’s eye
Are you a Leader of men?
Betrayed by the end?
Torn By their innocent faces?
No time to repent
Divine your descent
The light that you seek surely blinds you
