Lyrics --

Exhortation of the Heights
© 2009


O, hearken you Titanic children,
Crown princes of uncounted realms
Invested upon a galactic dais
Wielding the scepter of sustaining fire
Planetary supplicants
Arrayed across your dark fiefdoms vast
Confident in ancient power
In blazing vestments cast

Know that once, we too were Lords
Crowned in cloud and possessed of sight
Hawk and falcon; sentinel and messenger
Humbled before our Olympian might
Struggling life primeval, rising and falling
Extinguished before our dispassionate gaze
What sights we beheld from our heights
What sagas; what wonders; those eonic days.

From our ruin we call
From our darkened Halls
From our silent Shrines
With our shattered spines
Where The Void reigns
No Lords remain
Beware, beware, beware,
Pride goeth before…

I've downloaded the mixes and as Shells out for a few hours later I'll put them through my 2.1 speaker setup, as the speakers on my laptop are cr@p!  :lol:

I'll report back later..............
Selling lots of gear, enquire within!......

Yep, that's Peej. The new stuff covers quite a bit of musical ground, so expect the unexpected!

Like it, slower paced than your TO stuff, not over-produced.   Good stuff D'n'L :)
