Oh spirit guide me through oblivion
Through the memories of my mind
Looking backwards never seemed to clarify
Eternal majesty I held within
Lead me to my paradise
Freedom seeker, live without regret
Reach for what you hold inside
Take me to the past
Let me right the wrongs I’ve written
Let me be the Last
Of the ones you call Forsaken
Can we burn it all, will you take what I've surrendered
Headed for the Fall, under the weight of the cross I’ve taken

Man Of Peace

Stumbling backwards, I’ve nearly fallen
From the garden to the grave
Under the wreckage this great disaster
Take me to my judgement day
Now I wait, for the Hammer to Fall
Bounded by the flesh
Mortal we are but not for long
Is this a land fit for a man of peace?
Half of the pages I’ve left unwritten
On display for all to see
With fear in their eyes as they look upon me
A withered man I used to be
Now I wait, for the Hammer to Fall
Bounded by the flesh
Mortal we are but not for long
Is this a land fit for a man of peace?
At the gates, the sound of the choir
Laughing at me while the flames growing higher
Stray from the path that leads you to ruin
Don’t lose yourself to the things that your doin’

Grave Illusion
05:43
|
|
||
|
Looking out, into the darkened night so clear
Wondering how we survived
Born of Fire, we learned to love and learned to fear
Yet to find the reason why
Why we live, within these towering walls between us
Can it be, you are me, we’re one in the same
Why do we live, in this world of grave illusion
Now we're free, we can turn the night into day
Right of passage, from whence we came, so far from here
From the darkness, born of light
Everlasting, the gift of life I held so dear
Wearing out from inside
Why do we live, in this world of grave illusion
Now we're free, we can turn the night into day
Must we wait, until the end to come together
We’re the same, just a flame that burns from inside
Take the hands of the fallen
Raise us up at the end of our days
All is forgiven
...Now

Letter of Life's Regret
05:14
|
|

Here I spent my days unravelling worlds
Just to reconcile the things I’ve done
I’ve tried to scream and shout but no one heard
All my words we’re left in the air to burn
So take this, it’s all I’ve left
This letter of life’s regret
When the ink runs dry and the candles burn
I’ll be left in the dark and away I’ll turn
When you find this place I’ll hope you’ve learned
Don’t let your words be left in the air to burn
So take this, it’s all I’ve left
This letter of life’s regret
I’m falling apart
I’m falling to pieces
I don’t want to die
But it’s all I can see

War on the World

There’s a war on the world
Now it rests on your shoulders
Defy the forces of Hell
With the blood of the Serpent
Journey through Nightfall
The Horsemen are Closing In
The last of the embers still burning
Will they know
That I hold the power to disappear
The ground shook, the Faceless Ones Coming Near
Search the Horizon
For the seer of light
On top of the Mountain
Now gone is the Night
Summon the Wizard
Or this Journey will End
Through Armageddon
We will rise up Again
There’s a war on the world
Now it rests on your shoulders
Defy the forces of Hell
With the blood of the Serpent
Eyes of fire, they’re watching every move I make
Evil Spector, Possessor, The Hand of Fate
Hide from the shadows, through nightfall to sanctuary
Lost in the darkness, the moonlight leads the weary
Search the Horizon
For the seer of light
On top of the Mountain
Now gone is the Night
Summon the Wizard
Or this Journey will End
Through Armageddon
We will rise up Again
Traveling on, Chasing the ever after
See for yourself, this war it will go on forever

This barren wasteland
The road I’ve travelled on
It leads to nowhere yet the road it is long
With no direction
I’ll go where no one knows
Just a vagrant in search of his home
Now I've gone away
Into the light of the sun
Don’t leave me here
I’m just a shell of a man
Fighting to save his own life
Oh Faithless Servant
What of your destiny?
Beyond your vision
A world never seen
Forget your sorrow
You’ve only just begun
To feel the power
That comes from above
Open your heart, it will show you the way
You’re never alone, now live for today

Voice in the Dark

Reach the void and jump into the black abyss
Who knows what waits on the other side
Time to gaze into the mirror of your life
Travel on into the Black Horizon
Lead me on, into the night I hear you calling
A voice in the dark
When freedom comes oh lord will it take your life
When all your days are wasted as the time goes by
Left the ones you love, left them all behind
You were here but now you’ve gone so quickly
Lead me on, into the night I hear you calling
A voice in the dark
Speak the words, of wanderlust and incantations
I’m yours to command
Will I ever be the same
When revelation comes to take the pain away
Getting closer to the end
Let me see the light again
I’ve seen the future, and it’s hanging on a line
Balanced on the edge of time
Never falter, we were meant to carry on
Been from hell and back and yet we’re still alive
Lead me on, into the night I hear you calling
A voice in the dark
Speak the words, of wanderlust and incantations
I’m yours to command
Will I ever be the same
When revelation comes to take the pain away
Getting closer to the end
Let me see the light again

Hell Frozen Over
05:02
|
|
||

Lost the will to dream
It’s hard to stay awake
Haunted are my visions
For me there’s no refrain
Restless in the nightshade
At last a slow decay
I write my thoughts beside me
Before I drift away
To a world
Where the sun never shines
Is this Hell frozen over?
Followers, to the temple of stone
Fall like lambs at the slaughter
Now I’m filled with terror
My body petrified
Staring at the painting
And now it’s come to life
Not just an illusion
Or a trick upon the mind
Perdition will await me, they're taking me to die
In a world
Where the sun never shines
Is this Hell frozen over?
Followers
To the temple of Stone
Fall like lambs at the Slaughter
What have I become
What of all the earthly wonders
Will I lose it all
To the curse of the spell I’m under
Don’t close your eyes
Don’t fall asleep in the moonlight
Look for the Rainbow’s end
It’ll bring you around again and again

Ruins of Eternity

He crossed the Mountain fjords
Traversered these Ancient Lands
For Immortality, a chance to live again
There stood the Overlord
With oaken shield and sword
Forged by the God of Iron to rule forevermore
We flushed them out with fire
Brought plague upon the land
Ashes burning where the idol used to stand
Hold back the hands of time
We’re failing as we ride
To reach the hallows where the four winds will divide
If you ride the wind
Ride it High
So Far away, never to return to me
Don’t be afraid
We never die
Just sail across the Ruins Of Eternity
The eye was always watching
Now the spector is me
Flying so high above you
On the winds of the sea
Am I alone now
Feeling so insecure
I’ve flown too close to the burning sun
Plunge into darkness
Reaching the Netherworld
We’re doomed to roam this world alone
If you ride the wind
Ride it High
Far away, Never to return to me
Don’t be afraid
We never die
Just Sail across the Ruins Of Eternity

Times of Obscene Evil and Wild Daring
by Smoulder
supported by 97 fans who also own “Ruins of Eternity”
This... THIS is how you revive classic and traditional metal from the 80s while making it your own. I could rant and rave for a mini novel's worth of words about why this album is just... impossibility good. I've had to retract so much because of how long winded I got. Please just give it a shot if it's within the subgenres you like.

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.
