Assault Buick This is one of those albums that you can come back to after a while and have it sound as fresh as the first time you ever heard it. Not something you can say about many albums. I love these guys

Lute FP Killer progressive rock, reminding me considerably of Opeth’s mellower stuff.

Bucky It’s easy to harken back to the classic prog and southern rock comparisons cause it rings true, but Druid also bring a modern mystic melody to the table resonant of yellow and green Baroness at times. I can’t get enough of this stuff. Absolutely brilliant!

FDJ (Desert Psychlist) Unbelievably good blend of early YES like prog and late sixties era psych, This hits the sweet spot harder than a Cruise missile!

Chapter One 07:22
Did I fall asleep? Am I dreaming now? There’s a crystal ship Sailing through the clouds Calling out my name From the morning sun Gently beckons me Towards the light, I run I can never know What awaits inside Visions put to siege Temples of the mind Now I stand on board As I’m staring down I can see the World And who wears its crown For all things, there must come a time Our time has come Seven seals for seven scrolls Seven signs for all men to behold You will know that the of an age has come Wake me from my rest Take back what I’ve seen I need shelter from This unending dream Water from the Earth Covers all it floods Debts of all mankind To be paid in blood When these days have passed Once these tears are cried All will be reborn Once this world has died For all things, there must come a time Our time has come Seven crowns for seven kings Seven horns will sound the curse they bring Now, behold, for a new dawn has begun For all things, there must come a time Our time has come Seven dreams of what’s to pass Seven nations lead their angered mass Now we wait, for our fates shall all turn into one

Chapter Two 08:38
I was shown four horses from afar Each one rides as each seal breaks ajar What they bring, they’re bringing for us all Whispers of an empire set to fall The White Horse comes to conquer foes of man The Red Horse rides for bloodshed, sword in hand The Black Horse carries scales to weigh your gold The Pale Horse brings an end to tales of old Now they ride, every stride comes faster All will know, there’s no mortal master Force unseen slowly brings us nearer Near the end, fate becomes much clearer When we reigned, we built our castle walls Holding in our power over all Time came through and etched away the stone Strength has faded, now our fortress falls Every kingdom, each before the last Felt the horsemen’s fury as they passed Underneath their hooves, the Earth will bend Their ride is the beginning to our end Days of strife have come, and they have gone In us is the will to carry on Darkness will envelop all it holds Hope will hold us through, but for how long?

As I am cast down from above I’ll bring my star down from the sky Your power here will be no more Over your kingdom, I preside I’ll bring my beast out from the sea He is the one that you shall praise In his unholy name, you’ll sing Until I bring the end of days My wings are spread above the Sun This light cannot show you the way The place you used to call your home Will now become my own domain In days before the sun, they placed me down below Now is my time to walk the Earth, so that they’ll know All of the power in this place, I truly hold It won’t be long until you’re bowing at the feet beneath your Lord

Chapter Four 08:56
We were born when these fields were green Days of old turned to fleeting dreams Seasons pass, now the East wind blows Breath of life, buried in the snow These days will not pass as soon as you think Bitter and dry is the wine we must drink Find those you love, hold them all near Never again will we have back those years We will mourn those we have not found Take the dead, put them in the ground If I pass, bury me the same When I’m gone, none will know my name Hopeless days, yet the world still turns Love is gone, yet its fire still burns We must wait ‘till the battle is won We’ll be free when the circle is drawn

Chapter Six 04:14
There’s cracks in the sky where the light still shows Just for a little while, those who see will know Reach for the other side with an open hand All those who sit and wait cannot understand Understand Understand this world We’ve waited, hid away, for our time to come Rememb’ring better days with the tune we strum We watched as those we love were all led astray Those who still wander on need to find a way Find a way Find a way back home The day is coming soon when it all falls through Then is the time to make this world anew For now, we lie in wait ‘till the clouds come down Our chains are breaking free with a thund’rous sound

Look to the hills, as the light shines through the trees Visions fulfilled of the world that is to be It had happened here ages ago, and now it again comes to pass Hear the horns sound on a field of war and flame This is the ground where the noble will lay claim It had happened here ages ago, and now it again comes to pass And, so, as the world rolls on its hinge, will the hours continue to turn If these times are, by fate, to come back, then this is the lesson we learn The tides always sink and then swell, for the sea will not heed our command Those of you with the will to continue will be the same ones who withstand We will ascend with the gnashing of our blades This is the end, now the evil here will fade
