Labyrinth Alpha

by Epiclore

supported by

Selrisitai thumbnail
Selrisitai Power metal on the softer end of the spectrum, it's difficult to find direct comparisons. Vocally, I might compare this to Axenstar: Limited vocal range, but a pleasant voice that works with the musical style.

Melody is king here, and these guys know how to write melodies that stick, and they know how to support them with guitar, drums and piano. Interludes abound and excellence is high.

Recommended. Favorite track: In the Final Hour.

Cold 04:00
Lying here in the cold crumbled and trampled over Blinding fear, a dismal life alone May it hurt, truth be told Uncertain, discontented Fears convert into pain When the world grows cold around you a sense of nothingness that ails your soul can turn into sorrow and despair Dreaming In the haze our mind blends into a state of unison is all we know a garden of Eden we can share when the world grows cold Hanging on to one hope I can repress no longer Waiting for a sign of some response Even though worlds apart may be meant to stay asunder Can't let go Have to try When the world grows cold around you a sense of nothingness that ails your soul can turn into sorrow and despair Dreaming In the haze our mind blends into a state of unison is all we know a garden of Eden we can share when the world grows cold

I have waded the winter of frozen dreams I've been lead to believe in the calling of the heart I have gathered a fortune and seen it gleam Still I know, in the end the accomplishments rarely meet the ends Our life they say is in a higher hand Somehow the thought can't seem to bud In prayer they call upon thee now, o lamb and seek redemption through your blood So I carry on leading the life I know still refining in terms of a personal bylaw Turning back on the ghosts from a time gone long ago as I quest for the virtue of man while repelling the vanity of the mind Marching forth into the state where in dreams and while awake I know I'm yielding to a universal law While the whole world condescends I'll chase the Kingdom of Ends and no matter how far... I never will demise

The Mirage 06:12
Turn to the cross in the guilt you feel your fate's for sale so here's the deal a get-out-of-hell-free card on judgement day Render your mortal glory to the congregation, the holy and when you perish the pearly gates await As they say... on a sacred path we tread and share His grace Now for sale the means to reach the healing hand Every day the price is paid and deeds of sin erased as they sell their own Mirage of God to Man To evade your condemnation come redeem your pass to reconciliation Help us to help you stay upon the way The Holy Ghost amongst our clergy sets the price to pay for divine mercy gloria mundi in nomine Dei As they say... on a sacred path we tread and share His grace Now for sale the means to reach the healing hand Every day the price is paid and deeds of sin erased as they sell their own Mirage of God to Man

Morning shroud is floating by and the first light is nigh Once the dawning day revives my weary mind - I face the wind Awakened once again into a world made of dreams Some of which are made to life and lived again some are forlorn some laid to rest I run into some that have come true I wish I could start anew... Thereby ends another day and I'm passing you by just to notice once again it's all in my mind all in my eyes and all I know is I'm falling deep into the unknown and into oblivion's arms You're calling me ready to condone I follow and there you are I carry you home and the grace in your eyes makes me weep As we embrace you whisper it's all just a dream And right on the morrow it's quiet again and your memory's fading away And in solitude I wake into the day

Truth - I'll stand behind it 'til the end though the world is moving on Away - it's time to open up our eyes, I'm told and think about the here and now Blind - I need to trust, it's all I have like a beacon in the dark And still I'm searching for my trail in time He chose for me to find Eyes cold, skies ashen grey on a lifelong quest for the way but where will I rest my head I know I will falter someday Long journey, winding road leading to gardens restored A life sacrificed in vain or pathway to glory beyond One day this labyrinth unfolds I'll have all wonders to behold His consent is more than a means to an end Peace of mind and ever guiding light I have assured myself the path that I follow is true But after misfortune and pain I dread what it's leading me through Truth - I'll stand behind it 'til the end though the world is moving on And still I'm searching for my trail in time He chose for me to find Eyes cold, skies ashen grey on a lifelong quest for the way but where will I rest my head I know I will falter someday Long journey, winding road leading to gardens restored A life sacrificed in vain or pathway to glory beyond One day this labyrinth unfolds I'll have all wonders to behold His consent is more than a means to an end Peace of mind and ever guiding light Still I'm searching for my trail in time...

Riverball 04:42
A burning soul within Battle's nigh and hearts begin to pound And as the clash begins we show no mercy, give no ground This train will break you time and time again Come challenge us but you will never win Balls of steel...! Riverball! We make a stand and we'll never fall Riverball! bask in the limelight forevermore Time is running out And so we're stronger once again Outcome on the wall and this defeat they will retain This train will break you time and time again Come challenge us but you will never win Balls of steel...! Riverball! We make a stand and we'll never fall Riverball! bask in the limelight forevermore

Once, someone said that life well spent is long On through the years you come to wonder what is wrong Looking back and forth the pathway of my time Maybe I'm still learning life or lack the strength to make the best of mine And the seasons, they change time is passing us by and there's none left to waste, so Take my hand and in the final hour we'll stand Make a new star shine for the sands of time in the hourglass will run out some day So may a new life bloom on the way and we will survive and for ever thrive in the world we'll leave behind one day Striving to keep my mind stable and strong Reason and feeling don't that often get along Always afraid of what will lie ahead Something keeps telling me it's wasted time that I should fear instead Only whisper of winds just a breath in eternity still, a lifetime within, so Take my hand and in the final hour we'll stand Make a new star shine for the sands of time in the hourglass will run out some day So may a new life bloom on the way and we will survive and for ever thrive in the world we'll leave behind one day Broken dreams shattered reveries fall from grace Don't you cry Past demises make us stronger, better still Every step brings us closer to find our place Have to try every chance may be the last So come, take my hand and in the final hour we'll stand Make a new star shine for the sands of time in the hourglass will run out some day So may a new life bloom on the way and we will survive and for ever thrive in the world we'll leave behind one day May a new life bloom on the way and we will survive and for ever thrive in the world we'll leave behind one day

Vox Dei 06:30
Though for a single moment lost in time I can sense a reason in this all It never ceases to defy our minds for as we've once risen so we'll fall Show me life's delight Help me gather reasons to rejoice Gazing out with blinded eyes All the while we're listening for the voice Awaiting reply Under skies I find that state again where I sink into a cosmic sea A stripe of silent stars surrounds my soul I can almost feel they're watching me And the world we're passing by is just a grain of sand in the sky And we're all but a fading sigh Living out our time Living out our time in a blink of an eye Show me life's delight (we're falling down) Help me gather reasons to rejoice (empty inside) Gazing out with blinded eyes (and I wonder why) All the while we're listening for the voice Awaiting reply Awaiting reply... And so if you hear I hope you listen In the dark I wish upon a star Show me life's delight (we're falling down) Help me gather reasons to rejoice (empty inside) Gazing out with blinded eyes (and I wonder why) All the while we're listening for the voice Awaiting reply (Gazing out with blinded eyes and I wonder why) All the while we're listening for the voice Awaiting reply Times are changing faith is running low Mankind seeking the essence of the soul Values of our life are redefined Still we're searching for a voice divine Halki maan me kuljemme taivaan taa katsomme Mistä tuun ma ihminen tuskin saan tietää sen
