It explores the thrilling rush of new beginnings intertwined with the anxiety of feeling lost in a foreign country or among a new group of people.

Listeners will feel the push and pull of excitement followed by dread, reflecting real-life experiences of being in a place where everything feels foreign. Through powerful instrumentation and emotive vocals, the song paints a vivid portrait of the complexities and challenges of stepping into the unknown.

"Fried Ricin" is a hard-hitting modern metal track that boldly tackles the complexities of modern protest and hypocrisy. The song explores how certain groups fervently criticize others—preaching against injustice yet embodying similar behaviors and mindsets. With raw intensity, the lyrics challenge listeners to confront the uncomfortable truth that those who protest may not be as different from those they oppose as they believe. The pulsating riffs and powerful vocals mirror the emotional turmoil of this duality, creating a striking contrast between fervent ideals and the reality of human nature.

"Gentler Times" - A Post-Apocalyptic Love Story 

Journey through the ruins of civilization with this haunting progressive metal odyssey. "Gentler Times" weaves a poignant tale of love persisting in a world laid bare, combining the philosophical depth of Rush with the orchestral grandeur of Symphony X. 

Featuring soaring female vocals set against a backdrop of crushing doom metal riffs, atmospheric synths, and dynamic percussion, this track bridges the gap between classic prog complexity and modern metal intensity. For fans of Dream Theater, Opeth, Kamelot, and Queensrÿche.

The composition alternates between delicate passages and powerful crescendos, mirroring the narrative's exploration of finding beauty in desolation. Each instrument tells its own story - from the thunderous bass foundation to the ethereal synth layers that paint a picture of a world both lost and reborn through love.

LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
In the twilight of our world, where shadows grow so long
I found you humming softly, a half-remembered song
Your voice a gentle echo, of a time that's passed away
In this landscape of lost dreams, you make me want to stay

[Pre-Chorus]
We're fragments of the old world, drifting through the haze
Clinging to each other, as we count our numbered days

[Chorus]
Echoes of yesterday, linger in the air
Whispers of a love we knew, when the world was fair
In this faded photograph, of all we left behind
Your hand in mine reminds me, of a gentler time

[Verse 2]
We walk through empty streets now, where millions once did dwell
Each step a muffled heartbeat, each breath a story to tell
In the ruins of grand cities, where neon dreams once glowed
We find solace in each other, on this lonely road

[Pre-Chorus 2]
We're relics of a bygone age, survivors of the fall
In a world that's lost its music, you're my curtain call

[Chorus]
(Repeat)

[Bridge 1]
And as the sun sets slowly, on all we used to know
I look into your eyes, dear, and watch our love still grow
For though the world has ended, and silence fills the day
In your arms I find the strength, to face come what may

[Bridge 2]
So let us keep on dancing, to a melody long gone
In this symphony of silence, our love will carry on
For in this world of endings, we've found a new sunrise
A love that paints the darkness, with hope's sweet reprise

[Chorus]
(Repeat)

[Outro]
As we face the uncertain future, in this world laid bare
We'll hold onto each other, and the love we share
For in these echoes of yesterday, our hearts still find their way
To a love that's everlasting, come what may

Gentler Times [ Solo Version ]

Lyrics

In shadows we wander
Through dreams long forgotten
This future’s a nightmare
Where hope has been rotten
In battles we fight
Against the cold steel
Once humanity bloomed
Now only we feel

Screaming into the silence
We’re lost in despair, no chance to rise

In whispers of anguish,
We search for a light,
Ghosts of our past,
Haunting the night.
With echoes of laughter,
Now swallowed by fear,
A hollow existence,
Where love disappears.

Screaming into the silence
We’re lost in despair, no chance to rise

Screaming into the silence
We’re lost in despair, no chance to rise

Production notes

AI was used for this project

Echoes of Despair

Nothing strengthens authority so much as silence

Frozen steppe, a crimson stain
Where ancient shadows rise again
A hungry bear, with iron claw
Breaks oaths of peace, defies all law

The cities burn, the children weep
While slumbering giants lie asleep
A tyrant's voice, a hollow creed
Sows terror, plants a poisoned seed

The Cost of Silence! A heavy toll
As darkness claims another soul
The fires rage, the cannons roar
While justice bleeds upon the floor

Every day we are silent
The orcs are marching
Every day we are silent
Our friends are dying

From shattered homes, a desperate plea
For eyes to see, for hands to free
But gilded halls, and empty words
Protect the comfort of the herds

We elect the clowns and it is all fun and games
While sticking to the man, we fan the flames
The lines are drawn, the choices clear
Yet fear prevails, and whispers fear

The Cost of Silence! A heavy toll
As darkness claims another soul
The fires rage, the cannons roar
While justice bleeds upon the floor

Every day we are silent
The orcs are marching
Every day we are silent
Our friends are dying

The specter looms, a chilling sight
Of broken treaties, endless night
The weight of guilt, a crushing stone
For every life, unjustly thrown

The whispers rise, a growing dread
As heroes fall, and hope lies dead
The watching world, a vacant stare
A silent witness to despair

The Cost of Silence! A heavy toll
As darkness claims another soul
The fires rage, the cannons roar
While justice bleeds upon the floor

Every day we are silent
The orcs are marching
Every day we are silent
Our friends are dying

Every day... the silence grows...
Every day... another soul... it knows...
The cost of silence...

The Cost of Silence

This metalcore track tells the story of a warrior's relentless journey through war, inspired by the Trojan War. The lyrics depict the devastating toll of battle—death, destruction, and the cost of pride. Despite years of violence and loss, the protagonist’s unyielding spirit pushes him forward, only to return home after 20 years, facing the grim aftermath of his journey.

War has been declared
The population suffers 
From their affair 
Theres no end in sight 
His sharp mind 
Told them to hide 

A wooden horse was all it takes 
To take greeks Lion behind the gate
Soldiers climbed out at night 
To decide this endless fight 

Soldiers dying (Shields)
Blood is shed (Spears)
Arrows flying (Slash)
The fire spreads (Kill)

His journey never ends 
After years of violence
20 Years away from home
Pride comes before a fall 

His journey never ends 
After years of violence
20 Years away from home
Pride goes before a fall

10 Summers went by 
After the first battlecry ! 

And after the smokescreen clears
Horrendous Picture appears 
Burned bodys on the streets
Defying humanity 

His journey never ends 
After years of violence
20 Years away from home
Pride comes before a fall 

His journey never ends 
After years of violence
20 Years away from home
Pride goes before a fall

Now finally in sight 
A home so long denied !

Pride Goes Before A Fall

Friends in Low Places by Garth Brooks (Metal Cover)

Words spoken by false tongues,
You built your throne on broken trust.
Built me up just to break me down,
Your kingdom is a burial ground.

Will there ever be an end to those lies?
Truth and honesty struggle to survive...

Ooh...

A siren's voice, a serpent's spine,
A liar's mask, deceit refined.

You dressed your poison up in grace,
A smile stitched to a hollow face.
Truth bends where your shadows crawl,
But even angels learn to fall.

You chose the blade, then called it fate,
But even traitors learn too late.
Now you stand in the ruins that you made,
Ash in your mouth, nothing left to save.
You see me rise—but it's too late,
Gone are the days that I bowed to your hate.

Oh!

Built me up just to break me down,
Your kingdom is a burial ground.

A crown of ash, built on disguise,
Your shattered words still haunt the skies.

We … will see...

You burned your bridges with your lies,
A soul that’s rotten from inside.
The truth you feared now cuts too deep,
The lies you've sown—they won’t retreat.

You chose the blade, then called it fate,
But even traitors learn too late.
Now you stand in the ruins that you made,
Ash in your mouth, nothing left to save.
You see me rise—but it's too late,
Gone are the days that I bowed to your hate.


Try to break me—
You’ve crossed a line.

You’re just a fake b*tch—
Run for your life.

Kingdom of Ash
