fssage Some really cool, guitar-driven power metal. The sound isn't overproduced, which gives a certain energetic charm a lot of PM bands lack these days. Lyrics do delve a bit too far into cheese sometimes, but when things are firing on all cylinders - like on "Position of the Stars" - we're in for a treat Favorite track: Position of the Stars.

KH Panda Z Amazing job Thunderforge. Been waiting since Call of the Conqueror for new stuff and this did not disappoint at all.
It is so hard to pick a favourite because everything in this album is fantastic!
This album is everything I love about power metal. Some of it's cheesy, some of it's fantastical but all of it is outstanding. Favorite track: Houses of the Infinite.

Raise your voice for what you believe in Look beyond the charge laid before us Depart with promise of valor It will crush the barricades to dust Flames rise before you on all sides around and you can’t seem to find a way out Past the horizon are thousands just waiting for something to make them feel alive! Fly toward the stars and test your fate And more will find you Fly toward the stars for victory, yeah! Now on the break of dawn, we will gather all as one Seeing all trials before us now are gone Move on with all your might, so our hearts can beat as one With a burning rage we ride toward the sun It’s all or nothin’ Hope soon fades into the darkness While it rises to take back control Delay and it means our destruction For it hungers to vanquish us all Race toward the sky and take your aim, yeah! Now on the break of dawn, we will gather all as one Seeing all trials before us now are gone Move on with all your might, so our hearts can beat as one With a burning rage we ride toward the sun It’s all or nothin’ Now on the break of dawn, we will gather all as one Seeing all trials before us now are gone Move on with all your might, so our hearts can beat as one With a burning rage we ride toward the sun It’s all or nothin’

Sit in your home in comfort While you try not to fear Walls are closing around you And screams no one can here Sign your life away it's good as gold If you die far away For you are dead already If in silence you stay Making these thirteen whole Saving myself from loneliness Crawling out of this hole They say that you should just go Out of your door into the war Whether it's day or if it is night Stand strong where you belong Whether it's wrong or right Come home with new stories bold Dragons of old and mountains of gold The greatest adventure told This I will make you believe someday Traveling on it grows harder Evil soon closing in Endless games made of riddles Let the terror begin Never before have I felt so alive Bittersweet pain and thrill If I can't live forever Then my memory will I don't want to go home Breaking these paths of loneliness No more be lost and forlorn I just hope that you go Out of your door into the war Whether it's day or if it is night Stand strong where you belong Whether it's wrong or right Come home with new stories bold Dragons of old and mountains of gold The greatest adventure told This I will make you believe someday Out of your door into the war Whether it's day or if it is night Stand strong where you belong Whether it's wrong or right Come home with new stories bold Dragons of old and mountains of gold The greatest adventure told This I will make you believe someday

Bring down the lights and roll the barrels to the hall For another night of gorgeous drunkenness galore! I make the rules Our lives are flawless by design Worship nothing more than a lovely glass of wine I am the God, the God of Tits and Wine This is the night, where lust and thrill align! All in honor of the God of Tits and Wine! I am the face The face of lustful pleasure in all the world Lead by my example and pummel through the girls Love is a gift A gift that no one seems to comprehend Until a proposition makes you understand I am the God, the God of Tits and Wine This is the night, where lust and thrill align! All in honor of the God of Tits and Wine! I am the God, the God of Tits and Wine This is the night, where lust and thrill align! I am the God, the God of Tits and Wine This is the night, where lust and thrill align! All in honor of the God of Tits and Wine!

For so long, I thought I could never die Foresight brought me peace of mind I could have seen their fate So what was my mistake? Will I die tonight? (to war) To war (we ride) We ride (to live) To live (to die) To die (war) Now (we ride) (to live) What glory can I defend? (to die) I have yet to see the stars align Knowing that I will not survive I will keep watch upon the sky Waiting for fate to close my eyes In the stars, there's a chance that I may not fall They can 'lign and save us all Where do they shine tonight And will they guide my sight For us to live they must unite To war (we ride) We ride (to live) To live (to die) To die (war) And Now (we ride) (to live) What glory can I defend? (to die) I have yet to see the stars align Knowing that I will not survive I will keep watch upon the sky Waiting for fate to close my eyes (BATTLE) Until I see the stars Until I see them all Align (Align) (to war) To war (we ride) We ride (to live) To live (to die) To die (war) Now (we ride) (to live) What glory? (to die) I have yet to see the stars align Knowing that I will not survive I will keep watch upon the sky I have yet to see the stars align Knowing my glory has a price I will stand strong throughout the night Welcoming death to close my eyes Close my eyes

Once a wise man said to me That the sun cannot shine every hour You don’t know what is to be But to change your fate, you have the power The power of a dream can be like thunder in your heart If you want to win the day You must let nothing in your way You’ve got to seize those moments of love You’ve got to let go all of your hate You’ve got to live your life like it’s never over And time well spent is never alone To chase a dream is never a waste You’ve got to seize the day and cannot surrender now Like the turning of the world Time will simply pass you by forever Once you’re gone you can’t return So you make your move it’s now or never The power of a dream can be like thunder in you heart if that’s what you’d become Then you know what must be done With the setting of the sun The world goes dark and shakes asunder If your life is to be won You cannot fear the roaring thunder The power of a dream can be like thunder in your heart If you want to take what’s yours Then you should always thirst for more You’ve got to seize those moments of love You’ve got to let go all of your hate You’ve got to live your life like it’s never over And time well spent is never alone To chase a dream is never a waste You’ve got to seize the day and cannot surrender now

Final hour strikes the clock for me Righteous men are doomed to die and all good things will fall I cannot describe my misery Horrors I have seen would turn your sanity into dust Do you care not for my loneliness? Death comes out to find me sweating rivulets of blood Why not take this cup away from me? The world is teeming all around but will they hear me scream? Goin Down in Flames But you know what we’re fighting for Goin down in flames and you’re coming back for more Goin Down in Flames With your face up to the sky Goin Down in Flames You don’t wonder why I wish that I could stay Must be another way, to see the light of day again They’re here to watch me fall Watch me crawl A man that people claim to love All that I can see is darkness now In a garden full of fear my guardians sleeping on Live and die not by the sword my friend In this world my time has come and you must carry on (Chorus) Goin Down in Flames But you know what we’re fighting for Goin down in flames and you’re coming back for more Goin Down in Flames With your face up to the sky Goin Down in Flames You don’t wonder why… Going down in flames but we are fighting for the righteous now Making right the world now by the only way We know The only way I know we can You have only but to believe in me

My eyes are lost in the fading light! Like a plague of the masses it grows to consume all in our sight And the sky, is crushing down, on the world we defend! Now all, we used to know, is being torn to an end! Brace your souls for the clutch of death A shadow descends on us all to torture and rob us of our last breath! And the air, it turns to ash, in the mouths of our kin! From the earth, fell demons rise, for their reign to begin! Reach for the sky as the horizon falls, Never giving in to the night! Fight for your lives as your judgment calls Reach through the darkness to save our light! Burning on pyres in flames The flesh of the evil decays In the dark my failing eyes see a whore Upon the brow of a dragon in form Gasping for air as it burns The voice of the beast takes your mind its turn For the damage you’ve caused in your life Prepare for an eternity of anguish and strife! Reach for the sky! As the Horizon falls! Reach for the sky! As the Horizon falls! Now upon the mount the righteous are lost and alone Most of all look to the sky for the guidance to carry you home! Reach for the sky as the horizon falls Never giving in to the night! Fight for your lives as your judgment calls Reach through the darkness to save our light!

You are not god You are not law Room on the top floor Name on the big door Who – do you - think you are? How did you get this far I can’t walk away influence flowing like a river now Give away my conscience hear it shattering like glass You may live forever in the houses of the infinite Everlasting life if you but lie and steal and cheat for it Will your soul be worth it in the end when you’re imprisoned here? Love and hope abandoned for your gain Fortune five hundred Six feet under Banks without borders New world order Wealth - will not – heal pain Your one moral is gain I could walk away the break of dawn might bring my sanity Or forget the rules and hear them shattering like glass All things turn to ashes in the houses of the infinite Stone by stone you build your tomb of lustful gain and ignorance Let regret consume you in the end when you’re imprisoned here Love and hope replaced by only fear You may live forever in the houses of the infinite Everlasting life if you but lie and steal and cheat for it Will your soul be worth it in the end when you’re imprisoned here Love and hope abandoned for your gain

All in the time of the king knew a glorious life From an altar of silver he called our name The honor of all had been bound by the throne When it crumbled we all were left alone With his pain Our lives washed away And now we strive To save a reign divine The fields of green grow black and then decay Without reason on the throne to guide our way The people starve, they riot in the streets Caring nothing for they evil that they greet Once he rule with power and might! Once his scepter was our light! Madness took our king away! Chaos is here to stay! A tower of ash billows smoke into the air The torture seems like all too much to bear His banners fly torn and burnt throughout the land To vanquish our disdain is in his hands His desire burned within her eyes She burned alive and he lost his mind In the time of the King... Remember the glory brought forth by the crown We lived in triumph and fought for a life divine We all saw the horror of the Queen's demise The sound of her screams carried through the night Our honor we can regenerate With his guiding hands we can live again What hope that he lost we will give back to him
