~ Dedicated to my grandfather, Terry Templeton, 1949 - 2012 ~

--TRACK INFORMATION--
This song is a cover of Rhapsody/Rhapsody of Fire's song, Emerald Sword, from their second album, Symphony of Enchanted Lands. The song details the beginning of the second chapter of the Warrior of Ice's quest to defeat the Dark Lord Akron, where he retrieves the third key to open the gates to the Land of Immortals. His quest is to find the titular Emerald Sword before Akron does first.

--LYRICS--
I crossed the valleys, the dust of midlands
To search for the third key to open the gates
Now I'm near the altar, the secret inside
As legend told my beloved sun light the dragons eyes

On the way to the glory I'll honour my sword
To serve right ideals and justice for all

Finally happened, the sun lit their eyes
The spell was creating strange games of light
Thanks to hidden mirrors I found my lost way
Over the stones I reached the place it was a secret cave

In a long bloody battle that prophecies told
The light will prevail hence wisdom is gold

For the king, for the land, for the mountains
For the green valleys where dragons fly
For the glory, the power to win the black lord
I will search for the emerald sword

Only a warrior with a clear heart
Could have the honour to be kissed by the sun
Yes, I'm that warrior I followed my way
Led by the force of cosmic soul I can reach the sword

On the way to the glory I'll honour my sword
To serve right ideals and justice for all

For the king for the land for the mountains
For the green valleys where dragons fly
For the glory the power to win the black lord
I will search for the emerald sword

This cover is the first single of Prominus' upcoming debut album, Retribution of Light. For Whom the Bell Tolls originally appeared on Metallica's second album, Ride the Lightning. It is based off a book by Ernest Hemingway.

"While this song does not necessarily fit with the overall theme of the album, that being a high fantasy epic, we believe first and foremost that it exemplifies perfectly the style we want to go for, as well as the theme of war and battle that is present throughout the album. The song is about a Warrior, and in that idea, what makes a Warrior of a medieval age different from the modern soldier? They are both cut from the same molds. Different eras, yes, but the same general frame. That is why we covered this song. It also kicks ass."

-Kyle Arnett, Vocalist and Guitarist
lyrics
[Verse 1]
Make his fight on the hill in the early day
Constant chill deep inside
Shouting gun, on they run through the endless grey
On the fight, for they're right, yes, but who's to say?
For a hill, men would kill, why? They do not know
Stiffened wounds test their pride
Men of five still alive through the raging glow
Gone insane from the pain that they surely know

[Chorus]
For whom the bell tolls
Time marches on
For whom the bell tolls

[Verse 2]
Take a look to the sky just before you die
It's the last time you will
Blackened roar, massive roar fills the crumbling sky
Shattered goal fill his soul with a ruthless cry
Stranger now are his eyes to this mystery
Hears the silence so loud
Crack of dawn, all is gone except the will to be
Now they see what will be, blinded eyes to see

[Chorus]
For whom the bell tolls
Time marches on
For whom the bell tolls

For Whom the Bell Tolls (Cover)
