The Dust Of Forever, by Mad Parish

The Dust Of Forever

by Mad Parish

supported by

PKMetal A hugely ambitious fusion of Maiden, epic metal & 70's prog which these guys absolutely nail. The vocals, weird voices and unexpected detours remind me of prime Hawkwind, but heavier. Production is stunning. The number 1.5 doesn't belong anywhere within 1.5 parsecs of this album. Favorite track: An Age To Quell.

handyplandy This album is a masterpiece of musicianship, lyrics, comic, concept and all around AWESOME, Thanks for putting out what will be album of the year in my book! This is your element, continue this story with Part II please! :D Favorite track: Loched.

The prophesized cycle of birth Bore the counter of equal blood's worth Brings forth the final reality The sequence of all neutrality Guardianship and unwavering faith Of old ways used to create The half of He Amounting to the whole of She United and consummate The eternal conduit of righteous endeavor The dust of forever

In the darkest parts Of a galaxy a good way far Merging of their minds And gasp when they find The child is a girl (yeah) How can this be It must come from some dark sorcery Prophecy is true Now silence you fool (should this get) Out! They'd second guess Spawn unruliness Take her away Take her away To the place we erase designs of our kind Her away Take her away Disappear with her threat purity divide Her away Take her away We are guardians of secrets for none She may hold Keys to our futures fate still untold Head to the hanger Thrust burns, burns brighter (in starless) Ruins in outer space Tracked but hard to trace Take her away Take her away Mirrored blades to escape veiled from detection Her away Take her away Through the chamber the savior embraced the sky Her away Take her away Recent cosmic shifts they cannot deny That girl must die Consider the threat Circumstances and motions are set Priest could give rise to a Half human male child (unity) Will end in failure Why should gods need saviors Take her away Take her away We shape legacy with our supremacy Her away Take her away With our power all cower in captivity Her away Take her way Seek your refuge we'll still get you in time Her away Take her away (Freedom) Traded for treason you stole that child Her away Take her away Pointless we will succeed removing her Summon the Executioner

Through lost corridors Keep the pace warrior Until you find The genesis of humankind Child at your side Asteroids collide Don't run into Weave and speed and you'll push on through Trapped in a squall Smashed through the wind and the ship free falls Desecration (Regeneration has withdrawn) Breathe the desert dust while you move on You have the faith The end of times we face Cleanse yourself of sin Discontinuation of kin She can stay with me and me with him Progenitor Appears in the flesh and now stands before Possess the child (She will carry till death, defiled) You can stay and pray till morning breaks It was only cast once before She lays sleeping behind the door Shout the passage loudly Conjuring the full Power of the lost tribes Within her grows hope Red lights, Hatch closed All the technology is too old Exhale as both (Coalesce start up the controls) Engine alive Out of the hanger into the sky You Disappear (From vision in the atmosphere) You may stay and pray Breath the desert dust You may stay and pray Breath the desert dust, move on

Glittering with light From different moons In sight These silent plains lengthen there distance at night He's a cunning fool Could always elude It's hard to keep your guard up always Pursued The boy lives just the same Of knowledge born arcane Send out the squads and we'll play gods once Again Apprehend We condemn them till the bitter end Taught to you all that you know It's time to let go Those voices never lied in that glow Finally you'll see where you stand Your far more than a pawn Spent his whole life grooming you along No one knows his name Killing is his fame Pulling the life from you with maximum pain Death squad threat is real No longer concealed Face down against the mask headed for you Faster The captors Flew past her as she left the sky On this day We invade This day We invade This day We invade You come a far way It must be the day you come for me I will now die in peace Dissolving's no use Still left is the truth I keep the knowledge of your past known to Few It's no matter We have him These secrets die with

Face of metal walls beside Spires, steel so it's fortified Last thing that I can recall Yes! That blue light I saw Frozen in a mask of pain and fear Come to me don't be afraid I'm near Metal arms to grab and pull past Your burns healing fast Feel as though I might soon succumb Shut your mouth your halfling scum Can't take it then pull the leaver Yes It would be much easier Strap in and if we survive Secrets in you I'll confide There device fastened to your back Transmits exactly where your at Frozen in a mask of pain and fear Come to me don't be afraid I'm near Beeps life support, failure imminent Forced into decent

I'm free to forever be My revelation takes its hold No sleep, troubles deep Dreading things that shall unfold She knows real as the kiss she bestows Signals echo through the void The enemy Has come for me No weapons to be found Now to be shackled and bound My destiny Take the cloak So she spoke Hide yourself away Our chance will come another day Such is my hope Serpentine I pass unseen Into the holding cell Suddenly the warming bell Begins to scream The end is so far away Oh how I long for the day Darkness consumes my world view Do I have a part to play I can only say Questions abound I wish I knew Standing clear With Arla near Voices in the hall One by one my foes will fall No one harms her They move to strike I move alike Taken by surprise Shock and awe in their eyes I am not done Until I've won

We get mobilised Dial the override Frayed, shored and cleaned It functions, Energize solar tides They SPEAK from the order Say moments growing shorter Can't see why you'd Say that we're in this together Then why must you leave Rippling waves we cannot measure Cuts our time to beat Revolt taking place We eliminate Grasping for control This age was made to mould Step forth and create Time is here and reveals our Revelations truth Inception is the new dimension Eternal rule Bridge All this I have seen Before in a dream our Dust yearning Voices glowing from the distance Sounding through light You were meant for something different All of your life Sunken underneath just one key Drawing you near Bolting from the heaven you'll part The stratosphere

Scrapes through your flesh The lush Arborist scent Replenish the quest But you cannot rest They followed you home Getting much closer Beams taking over Aims the direction To a resurrection Sunken old Spires Rise from disguise On that horizon Engines breaking silence Try to let your amulet Help you with its guidance Running down halls The were not used at all Steps in the distance Treated your existence There's no way out Before me you'll bow End of the line Now its time for dying Stand back don't you dare touch him Thought it was an old myth It can't be It can't be This artifact is from his world The prophecy is true He and the eternal girl Make dust for all to use We had a contract Move or we'll fight back Make your way As I fade away Can't hold much longer This book will make you stronger Insert the key while I reveal You see I'm a woman It's an omen It's an omen

Slabs of visions descend The agony dealt The recollective lens Spy the Asteroids belt Resting on the ledge of fate Above fractured skies Glide and to calibrate Forth and catalyze Pre chorus Experience… To live in isolation A state of damnation Instead The hunter Still running and outlawed Hold your head up high On a mission from God Beware the black moon eyes Experience… Seek the ones who bring to us Continued blood and transforms to dust And on that day he will come So stay away from the chosen one Trust he will serve the lord Shed that shroud of shame Get in it climb aboard Set out and reclaim Digitize wormhole Glide When he walked through stars Flash and to reunite So good so far Experience…

Once upon a distant planet A gentle light that led me on Brought me to the realization That I'd walk through the centuries alone Just a pawn Then she rescued me from bondage The prophecy won't be undone We escaped to start our journey Never to walk through the centuries alone On and on and on One and all in victory The dust of forever Forever Is all I can see Free at last now its time to move Forward together Together to what will be The executioner pursued me Became an ally to the cause Cathedron led me to the battle The future near is mine alone The seed is sewn One and all in victory The dust of forever Forever Is all I can see Free at last now its time to move Forward together Forever Is all I can see In my heart I feel peace Across the stars We are released So come what may This judgement day Our tortured past Will fall away Here I walk into eternity With no uncertainty We go on as one Now life is perfect clarity How it should always be Hail the new nation The end of disparity Together forever And ever And ever THE DUST OF FOREVER!!

Les petits gars ont trouvé leur voie, mais ont encore cette agilité dans le style qui fait la richesse de cet album : allez comparer Enhammered et Ebon Star, ces chansons n'ont rien à voir, et pourtant on trouve la même patte dans la musique. Ils ont le feu ! joH1

Antioch III: Wings and Warlocks
by Antioch

supported by 4 fans who also own “The Dust Of Forever”

Bon, même si c'est un peu cliché à dire, ce deuxième album est plus mature et recherché que le premier, totalement concentré sur ce style de heavy qui leur est propre, et un peu moins kitsch, mais avec quelques soupçons d'épique par-ci par-là (notamment Godbreaker) On en vient juste à regretter l'indisponibilité des paroles qui empêche de savourer intégralement la musique. joH1
