One
Descendant and Son
Master of Thunder
It is your time
Time to recall all what you’ve learnt
Protect us all
Sway your domain
Away from the hordes, safe from the Dark
Keep us alive
So long
The enemy is at the gates
God of Thunder, show your force!
Bringer of pain, crush their hordes!
I draw a symbol on the wall
to protect me from the unknown
I seek no power seek no gold
I’m a simple mortal
I see shapes on the horizon
Raging son against his father
Keep me safe under His thunder
Thundermark!
One
Descendant and Son
Master of Thunder, Bringer of Storms
It’s still your time
Recall what you’ve learnt
Protect us all
Sway your domain
Away from the shadows, out of the Dark
You are still alive
For now
The enemy is at the gates

We came from the seas
Great heathen horde
Give us your riches
Or prepare to burn
We came from the seas
You never saw this coming
Silly Englishmen
Prepare to meet our steel
On a grey June morning
Sails full of wind
Great heathen army crept upon the jeweled monastery
For years before
We descended
Christian peasants knew our power, but they could not see
Longships on the shore
Pagans sent to pillage
Round shields, helms and axes
They never stood a chance
Longships on the shore
Total devastation
Saint Cuthbert's Church
Shall never be the same
Bodies of saints
Trampled like dog in the street
Despoiled of them all
Its blood
And its finery
[Chorus]
Portents of dragons
Seen from long before
Warned of our coming
And the carnage we would bring
Their sins were vast
Protection lacking
English charlatan monks, they knew that they're doomed
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Solo]
[Chorus x2]

Shieldmaiden

When she is in battle
Her enemies are slain
Her body fights with fury
She is a whirlwind in the rain
She is shield and armor
Club-spike, bow and steel
She obeys no master
Only Thor the woman kneels
I was born a servant
Taken prisoner
Fought my way to freedom
Now I am fighting free
No chains will surround me
Freedom’s mine at last
Now men will obey me
Follow my command
Slayer of giants
Daughter of Gods
She wields the steel
Storm in the night!
Shieldmaiden
I fought in many battles
I fucked so many men
I‘m thirsty like a desert
For blood and mighty ale
But when men tried to rule me
And though that I was weak
They learnt a lesson quickly
Face down in blood and spit
[Chorus]
[Solo]
When my battle is over
And my body is slain
Raven, (go) tell my family
Bards will sing in my name
I’ll ascend to Valhalla
Sit by Odin’s great throne
With my brothers the fallen
I am servant…to none!
My father is the wind
My mother is the earth
My siblings are immortal
I walk among the dead
Across the bridge of heaven
Between the life and death
I never will surrender
Eternal is my fate!
[Chorus]

Adamantis
No longer one of American power metal’s best-kept secrets, Adamantis crafts with depth and triumph — a sterling display of memorable, anthemic melodic metal.
Adamantis recommends:
Edge of Saturn
by Project: Roenwolfe
Riffs that twist and crush, vocals both sinister and ear-worm and obliterating jackhammer drums all combine to form a power-thrash opus of exceptional quality.

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.

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.
