Here we stand at the edge of the world,
Fearing we’ve gone beyond,
We’re far from the golden shores,
From Vale’s Cove
The world we know…
This is not how it ends,
We still live this day
Could it be,
What we see,
Is the end?
No more land,
No more sea,
Nothing more.
Could it be it’s the edge of the world?
Legends say there’s a world far beyond
I refuse to return where we started
I’m convinced we are wrong
Legends of old,
Talk of land unknown
Magical forces, both ancient and bold roam beyond
Look to the sun and the stars,
They stalk all we know
What if everything we know is wrong? I must know…
What lies beyond
The sea holds of the secrets of old
How can we know as well? There’s always a path to go,
Men who know
Beasts or foes
I will not stop this way
We’ll change now this day
We are close,
Feel the breeze,
See the fog
There’s no land,
But more sea,
Nothing more.
Could it be it’s the edge of the world?
Legends say there’s a world far beyond
I refuse to return where we started
I’m convinced we are wrong
South of the mountain, the peak of wisdom
Where they say lions do roam
But what lies beyond the unknown?
Could it be it’s the edge of the world?
Legends say there’s a world far beyond
I refuse to return where we started
I’m convinced we are wrong
Legends of old,
Talk of land unknown
Magical forces, both ancient and bold roam beyond
Look to the sun and the stars,
They stalk all we know
What if everything we know is wrong? I must know…
What lies beyond

If I was to ride Falcor in The Neverending Story, this would be my soundtrack for it. The guitar/keyboard duels are to die for. A bit corny? Maybe. Fun to listen to? Absolutely!

This album is shockingly good. It's one of the best power metal albums I've ever heard. I see a lot of comparisons to golden era DragonForce, which isn't wrong, because it is consistently uptempo keyboard laden power metal with progressive elements, but there's a clear style ShadowStrike has that isn't just regurgitating someone else's sound.
I can't imagine what else to say other than this is exactly why I listen to power metal. thomas_sc89
