Oceans blaze with glaring flame
Far horizons of the West
Their shores be golden cradles
Where the sun would go to rest
Our sails now catch the wind
To invoke the claim of old
The crow that stole the seeds
Will see its bloody end unfold
Grey and tainted lies the land
Of the golden heresy
Our horns will be the last they hear
Our banners last they see
The raven’s wings will snap and break
We’ll crush the vulture’s bone
Cut the feathered head off the
Usurper of the throne
Swords of the East
Sail for the West
Fire unleashed
Flame to the nest
The sky turns black as feathered barbs
Pierce the still with woeful aim
Our soldiers stand together
As we raise our shields in vain
The Iron Sparrow sings its song
With voices of the dead
Laments of the living
Forever now unsaid
Swords of the East
Sail for the West
Fire unleashed
Flame to the nest
Songs of the East
Sung in the West
Sun of the East
Sunk in the West

Hold fast the bloody reins
A torment echoes through my veins
Accursed, unbroken will
Strong hooves pound faster still
Then came from shadow’s veil
The Iron Sparrow’s deadly hail
But death can’t take its claim
Their ranks joined by our slain
Put your lives on the line
We are the ones who become death
The Rider’s Moon turned red
An army of the dead
Our fate is sealed if my words
Remain unheard
Hold fast the tattered reins
When darkness casts abyssal chains
Red eyes of feral will
Run faster, faster still!

Myrtle Wreath / Myrtenkranz EP
by Grendel's Sÿster
A truly daring work of Epic Metal that is not constrained by the genre, nor does it rely on its stereotypes to bring a song forward.
go to album
“Far From Light” takes me on a journey to dark places far away in time and space, yet eerily familiar, radiating a strange serenity as if they were a long forgotten home.

David's other band. Epic Doom with clear, flowing vocals, spellbinding melodies and a lot of contrast.
