Album Title: After The Bat Was Freed ... But Before Metal Died 

An Ozzy Requiem

Description:

This is more than an album. This is a requiem. A two-part rock opera epic exploring the complete life, legacy, and psychological journey of a rock and roll icon. Performed by the virtual progressive metal band Adelheide's Wisdom.

LP 1: "After The Bat Was Freed ... But Before Metal Died"
A nine-act narrative that chronicles the rise and reflection of a legend. The journey begins in the industrial haze of 1960s Birmingham, capturing the spark of a Beatles-inspired dream ("The Day The Bat Was Freed"). It crashes through the chaotic birth of a new sound ("Sounds Like a Bunch of Cats Fightin'"), explores the creation of the demonic "Madman" persona ("They Call Me The Madman"), and descends into the self-destructive excesses of the 80s ("Wings of Sin"). The album finds its emotional core in the heartbreaking ballad "I Was Just A Dreamer," before culminating in a final, monumental tribute to the man behind the myth ("Prince of Eternal Fire").

9. Funeral of the Prince of Darkness
The fans' farewell: The finale of the main album. A loud, defiant, and proud metal anthem from the perspective of the fans who carry on the legacy. This is not a sad goodbye; it's a roar of eternal loyalty.

Funeral of the Prince of Darkness

[Verse]
God is dead
On his throne
Conqueror of
Galaxies
My wrath eternal
My cruelty unmatched

[Chorus]
I
Destroyer of stars
Infinate horrors
Unleashed

[Verse]
Feeble minds
Inhabit this universe
My grasp
Expands to your world
Your extinction begins

[Chorus]
I
Destroyer of stars
Infinate horrors
Unleashed

[Bridge]
Now
Prepare
To suffer

[Verse]
Countless systems I have brought to ruin
Crushed beneath my will
I am infinite horror

INFINATE HORRORS

Bye Felicia!
