lyrics
A life spent walking dusty paths
Twixt endless realms to roam
A cave upon a windswept crag
Was for a while my home
I swam a channel full of sharks
And climbed the steepest walls
And I saw phantoms gleam at night
And I heard their eerie calls
(lead: Nuno)
Upon a blacksmith's anvil
I have seen the sparks fly mad
And often since my sword's blade
Has been painted bloody red
Golden spires blazing
Beneath a baking sun
And dark valleys were witness
To the wanderings I have done
(lead: Nuno)
Chorus 1:
"And I have known a deathless queen
in a city old as Death,
Where towering pyramids of skulls
her glory witnesseth.
Her kiss was like an adder’s fang,
with the sweetness Lilith had,
And her red-eyed vassals howled for blood
in that City of the Mad."
I sometimes find myself
As if by chance alone
To tread old well-known pathways
Of ancient cobblestone
(lead: Nuno)
The air itself whispers to me
My weary bones are sore
So maybe I can spend the night
To then journey evermore
(lead: Nuno)
Chorus 2:
"And I have slain a vampire shape
that drank a black king white,
And I have roamed through grisly hills
where dead men walked at night.
And I have seen heads fall like fruit
in a slaver’s barracoon,
And I have seen winged demons
fly all naked in the moon."

My favorite material from Solstice! Despite their amazing discography that lay before this that completely set the foundation, this in my opinion is where it all comes to a mighty peak. What an amazing emotional and powerful picture painted in such a short amount of time. Talon Sullivan
