The Comet's Tale
04:02
|

|
Cloaked in midnight,
My elliptical vessel,
You’ve no idea
the depths to which we’ll go,
who and what we’ll face,
A planet scorned,
A people abused,
A warden reviled,
Ego spread like noxious seeds that freeze the land,
Forsakes the sow to save the lamb,
Worthy son, slain by our hand
Celestial harbinger,
Precluding doom,
By our manipulation,
Power is born anew.
Sovereign marionette
Your charge, to sow corruption
Furrowed into hardened hearts,
With will divine, we crack the sky
Rain down fire and flames
Winds that carry tides of change,
Fire, and, flames,
tides, of, change
Celestial harbinger,
Heralding doom,
Timeless manipulation,
Power is born anew.

At Crater's Edge

At Crater’s edge I stood
As fortune foretold of a cosmic hood
A comet of chaos, pure evil and good
Adorned with the stars from which he came
Outlandish, his movements defied logic and space
In a moment, upon me, disguised by cosmic embrace
Bolts of black pain, coursing through my veins,
Rending my grip from his clandestine fate
Collecting my strength
Wanes, my foe’s cloaked
Face, enigma displacing
The fabric of my plane
As crater’s edge gave way
A foothold of fortune amidst the fray
With dear Fourenia as my stay
Leverage and luck herald my escape
Victorious yet bloodied,
Bruised but unbroken,
The wailing sow laments the lamb
Tell me what’s happened?
The fortunes were true
Where are you going?
I’m taking the child
What have you done?
I’m taking the child your job is done
I’m taking the child your job is done
I’m taking the child your job is done

Home,
The past behind,
Ahead we grow,
Soul, body, mind.
Home held high
By cragged peaks,
Built by the bereft
Clemency, manifest
At twilight’s gloam
We’re called
Beneath the clouds
We call
We seek as
Auburn falls
An owl’s call
Greets cold night air
A lone wind howls
The valley’s song
The starlit sky
In mute reprise
The final verse
Erased by dawn
A river runs
Through trees stood tall
With leaves of red
That never fall
Amidst the frost
A flower blooms
Each day it thaws
With life renewed
This home we found
When all was lost
Our hardened hearts
Begin to thaw
This home they built
Despite the cost
A place to call
Our home amidst the frost

Beneath Red Leaves

Our howling pack
Barreling through the storm.
A secret attack
I see the peaks
The peaks of red
Piercing through black clouds
Too steep to climb
A hidden passage
Leave the mounts behind
If matron’s call leads us to war
BENEATH RED LEAVES
Blood will spill, we’re sure to kill, die by the sword
BENEATH RED LEAVES
The comet’s tale led us to ride
BENEATH RED LEAVES
Through frozen fields to scarlet peaks, we claim our prize
BENEATH RED LEAVES
From behind the tunnels seal
Floor gives way, spikes revealed.
Comrades’ corpses shield my fall
We escape ignoring their calls
Our wounded pack
Stumbling through the stone
No turning back
I see a beast,
Or is it a man?
Standing before us
Skin of steel
Eyes glow with vengeance
Sealing our fates
If Matron’s call leads us to war
BENEATH RED LEAVES
Blood will spill, we’re sure to kill, die by the sword
BENEATH RED LEAVES
The comet’s tale led us to ride
BENEATH RED LEAVES
Battle calls, commit our lives, prepare to fight
BENEATH RED LEAVES
Fate’s, bloody, seal
Beneath Red Leaves
Broken, Crushed, Torn
Beneath Red Leaves

Captive audience
Phantasmic cage
With guardian, we await
Our patron, saint
Arrives unscathed by calamity,
Unburdened by our progeny,
We risked for naught, our pact, forgot
A silver tongue
He could not be saved
A home can’t replace
What’s lost
Recurring nightmare
A subtle change
A specter of stars
The veil of fate
Is torn away, from clouded eyes,
Beneath our home, is where he lies
We risked for naught, our pact forgot
What must be done
He can still be
Saved
We can still re-
Claim
What’s lost

Corruption

Weightless
Breathless
The fog clears from my mind
As scalding crimson
Fills our lungs
My thoughts cast back in time
She stirred, asleep
Until storm’s retreat,
And awoke with naught to say,
“He lives, he lives,
I’ve seen our boy, he lives!
He’s buried beneath
Our very feet
All we must do is dig”¬¬
Absurd revelation
Moral reservation
In sleep, our guide awaits
Earth and bone
Flesh and stone
Carved away
Take back our own
Earth and bone
Flesh and stone
Carved away
Take back our own
Wake
Rise
Work
Move
Why?
Bring him back,
Follow through
Return us our child true
Earth and bone
Flesh and stone
Carved away
Take back our own
The deeper we go
The longer our hair
The thinner our numbers
The thicker the air
Mountain’s heart
Infected
Carve it away
Lies
As scalding crimson
Fills our lungs
My eyes cast to the side
Wading through
Cacophony of
Cadavers and cries
The guardian
One child in hand
Leaves the rest to die
Misfortune born
Of desperation
Two hearts led astray
Buried beneath
Misguided dreams
Suffering in vain
Final lamentation
Moral revelation,
Collapsing mountain’s vein
Bring them back
Pride entombed
Drown in blood
Our children true
Earth and bone
Flesh and stone
Carved away
Destroyed our home

Call of the North
04:07
|
|
||
|
In a flurry of fury,
Our home came crumbling down
The affliction of visions
Like hooks in my mind
Drag me north
All wants set aside
No time for sleep
We break camp before dawn
no promise of salvation
We carry on
In the back of my mind
Hackles raised inside
No home awaits
Still mourning for the mountain
We carry on
Roads filled with danger and strangers in tow
The sound of the night brings peril unknown
The day brings the same, in the sunlight we’re shown
Large tracks of wolf packs hunt unaware game
More snow falls with each passing day
With no road to follow, we’re warded away
Whispers grow to screams
No options or delays
Urged on, trapped within,
With no other way
In the back of my mind
Hackles raised inside
No home awaits
Still mourning for the mountain
We carry on

Come closer child
See what awaits
Time colliding, space aligning,
Before your eyes,
Souls combining, Fate designing
Your demise
Unending cycles we’re doomed to repeat,
Souls entwine in morbid release
Fertilize the celestial seed,
Witness the birth of the Questing Beast
Broken and bloodied, rejecting mortal form
Transcend humanity, entropy is born
Once we claim divinity, the deal is done
Go forth and conquer, our quest has just begun
Soon your souls will fade
Etched in my design
Catalysts of fate
Your lives were always mine
Unending cycles we’re Doomed to repeat,
Souls entwine in morbid release
Fertilize the celestial seed,
Witness the birth of the Questing Beast
Broken and bloodied, rejecting mortal form
Transcend humanity, entropy is born
Once we claim divinity, the deal is done
Go forth and conquer, our quest has just begun

RAVENING IRON

Perfect entry-level trad heavy metal. This genre never clicked with me no matter who I listened to. Iron Maiden, Atlantean Kodex, you name it. I had just begun warming to Khemmis, and this might have just made me a fan. If you're like me and most traditional heavy metal does nothing for you, listen to this. You won't regret it. An epic journey, front to back.

Very close in quality to their second album for me. It shows that Wytch Hazel keep delivering highest quality hard rock/heavy metal. There's no weak track on here and it's an absolute joy listening to it.
