lyrics

Place in the middle
Two deadly blades
Step inside the cycle
A perpetual grave

Fierce swordsmen bring their strength to bear
Ancient ritual acknowledged
Sand sparks and blood fly through the air
Until the end

To be a legend one must survive
The death of others is how you thrive
As one with the circle as one with the sand
A lone warrior roams the land

Leave their bleeding corpses to be baked by the sun
Those who know his visage do their best to run
Following the vision, he’s made his choice
Bound to the goal set by a statue’s voice

Seek your fortune
In another fight
A single stroke
Ends another life

Each move a deliberate step
Ancient ritual acknowledged
Simple swings made to deflect
Until the end

Power resides inside the one who wields
There is no magic tainting his steel
As one with the circle as one with the sand
A lone warrior roams the land

Power within his hand

Just impressed how excellent and authentic this record sounds. It's just like 1980s again! It's made with huge love of heavy doom metal legends! So much passion in vocals! I give it a ten epicus out of ten doomicus! Pure metallicus nostalgia! XUN

Pretty much the best Black/Speed Metal I've listened to since I learned about Evil Invaders and Vulture. Everything you'd love to be reminded of about this musical era is there. The influences are what you'd expect too: Motörhead, Venom, Bathory, early Slayer, Celtic Frost; aggressive vocals, tortured guitar solos, pounding drums; everything is fast, clear and still a little grimy, but without reverb cranked up to the max. Amazing band, amazing album. Odiumediae
