A Spark Of Deity

Selrisitai thumbnail
Selrisitai Some of the most consistently good, skillful, well-crafted and expertly performed power metal this side of, I dunno, Falconer? Blind Guardian?

The drummer is always working. Give the man a raise. No line goes by without his input; the lead guitars are melodic and have a beautiful tone; the vocalist is practically a virtuoso, with the smooth baritone of Falconer's singer but with the range of Blind Guardian's.

The instrumental sections have been carefully crafted, lyrics the same. Favorite track: So Long.

Man Of Faith 04:26
Torn by a lie and defeated By life I despaired Every single hope was dashed Between the wheels of my chair Now I revive! The sand beneath my feet: This is my miracle, this is my release Here I am, a man of faith It was my destiny to come to this place And I know my part: I will meet my fate I will struggle till I see the island's heart Each of us was brought here for a purpose Each of us is at the island's service The numbers cannot stop me From facing Hatch and Rock Call me hunter or scarface or just call me Locke Here I am, a man of faith It was my destiny to come to this place And I know my part: I will meet my fate I will struggle till I see the island's heart (4 8 15 16 23 42 sum up, press "execute") Yes, I looked right into the eyes of the island (4 8 15 16 23 42 - you are doomed) And what I saw was beautiful and you better trust your visions Follow your siren! Repent your sins to me! Now I revive! The sand beneath my feet: This is my miracle, this is my release Here I am, a man of faith It was my destiny to come to this place And I know my part: I will meet my fate I will struggle till I see the island's heart

The death of the Taurus Has brought us here Minos has taken revenge We fear to die in exile but I know There is still a chance for us To go above the sea, my son Don't touch the waves Don't near the sun Watch out! Hear my words: Follow the clouds! But in his days of levity The boy is not aware at all Father, save me your words Come, let us fly Like birds and Take me higher On wings we are leaving On wings we arise Shore so dire I'm longing for freedom The price for it will soon be payed So the tragic is foretold The wax will melt Beneath the burning sun My invention, is it safe? Nature can't be replicated! The claws of wind At once they reap The young man falls into the sea My fault! It's too late but now I see The blaze in the sky Would have posed no threat If we had chosen the night instead Take me higher On wings we are leaving On wings we arise Shore so dire I'm longing for freedom The price for it will soon be payed

To Thy Crown 04:18
So here I am after all these lies This could be innocence I have been so blind Since the day I saw you Sitting by his side But will you cover all your tears And the secrets we shared? My king, now hear me speak (don't you look at me this way) With passion and belief (he might guess the play) I will be serving you everlastingly Nevermore I'll cross the line Nevermore I will fight I am the last to destroy All your blessed life So I let go off your hand And obey to Thy crown The second day That I am on the run The rain is getting stronger Let the flood begin Upon the water, reflections Reviving my memories And as I wander torn in pain I hear you whispering my name Knight of mine, don't you depart! Nevermore I'll cross the line ... Devotion and dishonour! Restinction means to lose her If I had one wish I'd choose Another life for us No kingdom in between A torrent raging wild Your face seems to rush by So I will go down and We unite one last time Nevermore I'll cross the line ...

Lord, we have come this far But the next move will decide Whether there was sense at all In this sacrifice of life Silent terror They are scared, in grief alone Innocence was stained with blood For a country they once owned Independence Your greatest desire Is it worth to fight for Even though your spirit tires? Foretime decisions Were all made selfishly What good is that damned crown for If it's earned deceivingly? Your heart is free Come, have the courage To follow me Tonight we touch the sky From anguish we rise Nobility no longer reigns Standing petrified In the shadows of my throne What have I done to those Who trusted in my plight? I feel ashamed for my betrayal And my theft of what they All were struggling for Cursed father! My hate will die with you! If only I had recognized The trap we fell into Rage and vengeance In sorrow both are drowned So now it's up to me To lead them on battlegrounds Your heart is free... Tonight we touch the sky From anguish we rise Nobility no longer reigns Defiance of endless tyranny You have bled with Wallace Now bleed with me And on this field They stand outnumbered Rain is falling, distant thunder And with a roar they start to run A dream's fulfilled, a new life has begun Your heart is free... Tonight we touch the sky...

So Long 04:54
I have written this To calm your trembling hands Know that our bond of affection Prevails my early end Outrage they did blame me for And I guess they are right So tragic might be one's destiny When fate and guilt decide All of these colours Are fading into gray Nameless faces They watch me pass away So long, I'll wait for you And it tears my soul in two Like all my broken Dreams I'm dying This pain I'm going through Will bring me back to you When time has come We are united To the fairest I bowed my head By a sinner It is raised instead I knew Thee well More than I thought No fears were harming The bliss of our time I will pay now for my crime I hear the hangman call (don't be afraid, we will meet again) In the course of my duty I open the door So long, I'll wait for you... Don't lose your heart Just know I'll be waiting For you in the dark So long, I'll wait for you... I fade away

Fading Light 04:57
Underneath the mountainside lies a maze Of brashly stones, dark and freezing cold Its secret yet is covered well And unseen are most creatures dwelling in pain - so they say Root and tendril twist their way through long forgotten halls Noone's ever dared to cross before Memorize your turns, my lad In case you understand what I am trying to commend Light is hope and on hope you depend Spying through the darkness: unresting eyes When I turn around They vanish all at once out of sight Still prepared to attack As they await the fading of light Clinging to his oil-lamp hard He moves on for hours Till he gets sight of an underground-lake So calm In its center stands a Mirror coated with thick grimes So it is done, unveil the myth of time Blind with curiosity He's heading for the isle Across that narrow bridge, a wile The sea engulfs And extinguishes the light Spying through the darkness... Memorize your turns, my lad... Crying for salvation Efforts in vain Insanity! I'm surrounded by the hands Of endless night No creatures attack Noone beholds I'm surrounded by the hands Of endless night No creatures attack Noone beholds The fading of light!

Wanderlust 05:03
Have you ever seen forests and hills? A traveller once spoke And in his eyes, there was a glint Yet unknown feelings it evoked He told me tales of places and times Enchanted heart, a splinter in mind With every word and with every smile My past became a foolish waste of life A further day has been born in the night And with it comes the change My meditations enlightened my views I'm longing for those lands so strange Duty says: Attend to me! You have your task, you must not flee! But freedom cries: Let me out! So in the end I leave without a doubt Defying the dreams I have Into the light I go May fortune be my friend On this journey, miles and miles Where is my path? What lies beyond these mountains Framing my desire? Oh, I won't return Until foreign seems my homeland And I've found The end of wanderlust On the mantelpiece I left a note Waving my fellows goodbye They might even have liked to ensue But that's not the gist of why And so I write this book on my own Heading for the things yet to come Gentle breeze, I close my eyes I feel it now, my spirit starts to fly Defying the dreams I have... On this journey, miles and miles... And now I stand Among the oaks of ancient times And I begin to understand The light in his eyes On this journey, miles and miles...

The Assassin 04:47
A shadow creeping through the night Breathing in silence, hardly any sound Warily avoiding light Cloaked in blackness, noone is around Only the moon could see his face Emotionless, determined and pale No sign, no trace A moonlit lane So quiet and alone No sign, no trace A sudden blink: the dagger's Blade is drawn On that mission I am straight They demand I'll spill Blood at their feet My work is based on hate On jealousy and greed Stand up to me and fight Forever you can't hide Your death is my concern By night I shall return There is no shade in his hood Not even light in his eyes His skull-key masters the lock A dream will end With a horrible surprise I don't know the way you lived I'll never know your kin Or what you did Which makes me take Your breathing air But honestly: I don't care! On that mission... Why should I be Punished in hellfire? I'm just the bearer Being hired! On that mission... At dawn you will have learned!

Dawning veils the barren land Another cheerless day has fallen down And will prevail until the end A haze of misery is crawling from the ground Soon the countryside in gray is drowned All fortune-tellers, they speak of an everlasting night Yet there is hope on our side Through the mist we are shining Behold the spark of deity! And by the colours of that star Our light will spread afar Across the lakes and the hills Fear no fire, just burn! And when the clouds tear apart You will see my face Will hear my voice We came to bring Infernal noise Don't ask a single time what this is for Just open up your mind and look Into the fragment of the sun! It has begun! Through the mist we are shining... Inside the core of the light you will find just a melody But once you've discovered the power in it You will be free Through the mist we are shining...
