about

[Originally taken from "Road to Darkness" 2011]

Taken from Road to Darkness, this stands out as one of our favourite tracks we've ever recorded.

It marks a special moment for Gandalf's Fist when we started, through mere luck and trial and error, to get our hands around recording things properly, with the record really being the first moment in our "career" when we'd accomplished something we were proud of.

The lyrics for this particular song was an absolute blast to write, Dean and Luke stayed up all night drinking whiskey and bouncing ideas of each other, a song-writing practice that has endured to this day!

It also marks a point for us where, looking at this song, we could say we'd found "our" sound!

We've spruced up the track for our 10 year celebrations, the song has been remixed from the ground up, Stefan has re-recorded the drum parts, there are new backing vocals in the mix and an awesome Gregorian chant (that we originally wanted to do but didn't know how!)

Enjoy!

lyrics

The silent planet bathes its shores
In moonbeams from the night
As shadow children dream their dreams
To hear their mothers cry
The echo of the solar breeze
Falls soft upon the sands
Walking to the jester’s tune
On this rose across the stars…

The tyrant in his emerald spire
Casts shadows in the night
His fear is brought to waking souls
Who sleep beneath the light
The watchmen of the city wall
Call out the sorcerer’s name
The brave men of the citadel
Fall back against the flame
The council members disappear
To rooms beneath the mire
The courtyard of the cowardly
Hears whispers of the fire
The summoned party pays the price
Death takes them by the hand
He leads them on a merry dance
Across this cursed land…
