The Temple 10:13
Where am I? What is this place? These voices These aren't my thoughts This isn't me Who am I? What has become of my friends? I can't remember I don't even know their names What's happened to me? No! I won't give in I will usurp the throne And reclaim my rightful place as the mistress of darkness I will not give in I have control of my own mind Push through the darkness I hear her calling my name You will not have me I will fight you to my last breath You won't control me My mind is mine, come test my will! The time has come! I must overcome this evil I must overcome my fears I must overcome this evil I must overcome my fears I will overcome my fear I will overcome I will overcome myself We will overcome I'll save you
3.
The Journey 06:13
I have come from far away To find the ones who are destined To save this land from the evil ones Who seek this world's destruction I will join you in this quest How do you know that we are strong enough? We cannot stay and just do nothing We do not even know how to fight this evil This is our destiny! Our lives are not theirs to use! Time will soon come when this is over We will come home again And we will live the rest of our days But now we must fulfill our destiny And save the world We are one in life and spirit We are friends until the end This world will not fall to evil this age I will fight until the end If we take this journey We may never see our homes again
4.
Time 05:08
Time fade Time fade This life will pass away But will we ever see our homes again? Time fade Time fade Time fade
5.
The Battle 04:43
On guard! Stand firm! We've finally come face to face with the enemy Hold fast! Strike hard! We must defeat this evil before we continue on Become one with your spirit And unleash the power that you have stored Don't give up Never give in For the whole world is counting on us to continue on We're not strong enough to win this! Concentrate your power Open your hearts and minds! We will fight We will continue on
6.
We march on as one We are strong, and nothing will stand in our way From saving this world Ages ago, the darkness appeared The same evil that we fight now But there were a few who rose against her The legendary heroes Who sealed the dark queen forever from this world Or so we thought We must recover the ancient artifacts To seal the dark queen's realm We will prevail
7.
The Seal 05:34
Rise! The people of this world! And stand against the encroaching darkness! This is our only hope Our lives are in our own hands The promise of salvation will not be fulfilled Time will not be restored It's up to us to save this world So we must hold on to our Spirit, will, strength, love We must battle on We will stand, and we will fight this evil side by side Our spirits strong, empty, and intertwined There is no darkness that can sever this Our hearts are ready for the test If we die, there is no hope for the rest of mankind We must press on and meet the resistance To join them at the source of the breach To finally end this darkened age You're not alone For we have come to fight with you side by side We'll close the breach and restore peace to this world The ancient artifacts are ours to wield To seal the darkness realm forevermore Victory is ours, but at what cost was paid? We'll never forget the ones who've fallen
8.
Sleep our heroes Rest your heads Tomorrow will come Time may soon forget you all But we will know what you have done We will face our fate tomorrow Dark queen's castle waits for us We have grown much this journey together Nothing will ever break these bonds we've made
9.
We must push forward through these minions And cross the gorge to her fortress I see her in the distance She won't let us cross this bridge without a fight But we are strong She can't hold us here forever Her power is weakening Dark queen, the time has come For us all to face our fate! Dark queen, we are here at your gates! You will face judgement in the eternal realm! You think you can destroy me? You think you can destroy ME? We're not strong enough to destroy her here We must sacrifice our lives and go to the forbidden realm We will take her to the eternal realm To face the wrath of the gods Just like the ancient heroes of old Never returned from the eternal realm We must do what needs to be done And use the artifacts You won't have my soul I will overcome We will overcome We will live again We will fly above these empty skies We will overcome We will live again We will soar into another world Fly with me Cling to me Come with me Live again

11.
Life! Your friend's life force is mine Your gods? I created your realm My friend Our whole lives we have believed in a delusion But we will seal her We will save you And bring you home with us Friend! You will never have your friend back I will assume my rightful place as ruler of your realm Never! We'll never let you leave this realm With the artifacts, we will seal your fate We hereby seal you to this realm And we are taking our friend back from you We're going home

about

Hello,

I sincerely wish to thank everyone who chooses to listen to my music. This is my first full-length album, and I hope it will be an enjoyable experience for you.

This album was a long time coming for me. After graduating college and not writing much music for several years, I decided to return to writing and produce an album in early 2014.

This album has been written since late 2014/early 2015, but the challenges of writing, recording the guitars and producing it all myself proved to be a monumental task. It took me a long time before I was content with the results, both in my playing ability and the production quality of the album.

The challenges of everyday living that we all go through also took their toll, but after 6 long years, I finally have music in which I am ready to let go of.

There is a fantasy story in the lyrics that is threaded together as the album progresses. I also give more detail in the liner notes for each track to fill out the plot more (click on the track title to go to its page to read them). I hope this aides in the experience of the album for you, but please feel free to listen to the music however you wish.

I provide instrumentals for each track that contains vocals for you to enjoy the album in whichever way you choose. I hope the music itself allows you to imagine your own story as you listen. Oftentimes, that is how I listen to music myself.

The vocals are produced by a Vocaloid (Megpoid Gumi).

Thank you again for choosing to listen. I have a few more albums mostly written that I plan on producing and releasing next year as well. Follow me here on Bandcamp, and my social media accounts to keep in touch.

Sincerely,
An Ancient Legend, Long Forgotten
