The Quickening

Песня The Quickening о Горце epic symphonic metal with female lead vocals powerful female choir harmonies celtic and viking folk elements throat singing cold northern atmosphere orchestral arrangements bagpipes and flutes dramatic metal guitars thunderous drums icy wind intro wolf howls bridge with heavy rhythm and ritual throat singing outro with wind and fading hooves sound Lyrics Verse 1 I walk through ages dust and rain A thousand lives a world of pain Ive seen the rise and fall of kings And heard the song the silence sings Each face I love a fading ghost A memory I cherish most But in the shadows eyes will gleam A brother in this cursed dream Chorus The thunder rolls the lightning cracks Theres no way forward no turning back A buzz inside a primal call To stand and fight and watch them fall The blade sings out a silver gleam To shatter an immortal dream For in this game when all is done There can be only one Verse 2 We meet on holy ground a sacred space A moments peace a brief embrace We share the stories wine and bread Of centuries of living dead We know the rules the ancient code A heavy solitary load But when the sun begins to fade The truce is broken debts are paid Chorus The thunder rolls the lightning cracks Theres no way forward no turning back A buzz inside a primal call To stand and fight and watch them fall The blade sings out a silver gleam To shatter an immortal dream For in this game when all is done There can be only one Bridge The Quickening a storm of souls A power that consumes and rolls Their knowledge strength their every fear Is mine to hold year after year I feel their lives flash through my mind The loves and losses left behind Is this the Prize? This endless might? To be the last one in the night? Guitar Solo - Epic melodic with a sense of both triumph and sorrow Chorus The thunder rolls the lightning cracks Theres no way forward no turning back A buzz inside a primal call To stand and fight and watch them fall The blade sings out a silver gleam To shatter an immortal dream For in this game when all is done There can be only one Outro The final head has fallen now... The silence answers to my vow... The Prize is mine... Ive finally won... But I am... the only one... ...The only one...,
