Lec, eglīte

A dream of ages, a burning desire,
To touch the sun, set the soul on fire.
Through years of planning, and tireless might,
A vessel forged, to brave the solar light.

Shields of carbon, a protective embrace,
Against the fury, of that celestial space.
Instruments humming, data streams flow,
The journey begins, where few dare to go.

Closer and closer, the sun's fiery kiss,
A human touch, a moment like this.
Plasma dances, in a vibrant display,
We've reached the star, at the break of day.

Data pours in, a treasure untold,
Secrets of the sun, for all to behold.
Solar winds whisper, a cosmic refrain,
As our vessel dances, in the solar rain.

The heat intensifies, a scorching embrace,
But our shields hold strong, in this fiery space.
A moment of triumph, a victory won,
Humanity's reach, has touched the sun.

Closer and closer, the sun's fiery kiss,
A human touch, a moment like this.
Plasma dances, in a vibrant display,
We've reached the star, at the break of day.

A fleeting moment, a brief embrace,
Of the star that fuels life, in time and space.
A symbol of hope, a testament to will,
Humanity's spirit, forever to thrill.

Closer and closer, the sun's fiery kiss,
A human touch, a moment like this.
Plasma dances, in a vibrant display,
We've reached the star, at the break of day.

Back to the darkness, we slowly descend,
But the memory lingers, until the very end.
We touched the sun, a dream come true,
A new chapter written, for me and for you.

Kiss the Sun

I was debating on sharing this one...I dont have many heavy metal songs on here, so I think it's time then. its one of my earlier songs all A.I, yes even the lyrics - not much into making lyrics for this sort of thing, the HEAVY metal and all. 

[Verse 1]
March of steel
Boots collide
Ashes fall
The world ignites
Flames consume
No one spared
No mercy
No breath
No air

[Prechorus]
Burning cities
Endless screams
Metal soldier
Shattered dreams

[Chorus]
Flammenwerfer! Fire rains!
Flammenwerfer! Endless pain!
Flammenwerfer! Burn the sky!
No escape
No reason why

[Verse 2]
Fields of ruin
Shadows writhe
Cinder skies
None survive
Cries of children
Swallowed whole
Torch the earth
Blackened soul

[Prechorus]
Face of terror
Heart of stone
One by one
Die alone

[Chorus]
Flammenwerfer! Fire rains!
Flammenwerfer! Endless pain!
Flammenwerfer! Burn the sky!
No escape
No reason why

Tuber - Attack From Mars

Extraordinary Folk / Pagan / Black Metal band from Riga, Latvia, established in 1995. 

Skyforger has been forging their music in the smithy of the Thundergod since 1995.

For more than last two decades, the band has been fighting under the flag of Latvian Pagan Metal, an extreme blend of traditional Baltic Folk music and various Metal influences ranging from Norwegian inspired Black Metal through to 80s-rooted Heavy Metal. The band's unique combination of ancient and modern influence has given them a wide appeal throughout both the Metal and Folk scenes, and has brought great variety to their song writing over the course of the six Skyforger albums.

The first of these was unleashed from the forge in 1997. Titled 'Semigalls' Warchant', the demo tape told tales of the last free Pagan tribes of the Baltic peoples; and their struggles with Christian invaders throughout the thirteenth century.

These tales of ancient tribal Latvia and its Heathen tradition were to be expanded upon in 1998 with Skyforger's first full-length album, 'Kauja pie Saules' ('The Battle of Saule'). Later, in 2000, band followed with their third release, the First World War themed album 'Latvian Riflemen'.
  
Skyforger signed to the German label Folter Records and soon the world saw the release of their newest Pagan Metal masterpiece, - 'Thunderforge', which was a fine return to their old themes of ancestral culture and Heathen gods. The next album in line, recorded also in 2003, was the self-released 'Sword Song', - an album of purely acoustic Latvian Folk music and a long coming tribute to their ancient forefathers' heritage. In 2005 Folter Records released re-mastered demo album 'Semigalls' Warchant' on CD format, with additional EP 'Asinslauks'.

Skyforger spent next few years working on a conceptual album about the legendary Latvian fairytale hero, Kurbads. The album, similarly entitled 'Kurbads', was released worldwide via Metal Blade Records in 2010.

Throughout the years, band has been busy on festival stages all over Europe and Skyforger is well known for their non-compromising live performances. 

Skyforger released their latest album 'Old Prussia' on 6th of April, 2015, on Thunderforge Records. Right now band is actively working on new album, with approximate release date 2023/2024.
