Feb 2022 metal powermetal
Based on the French novels "La Compagnie des glaces" (which will not do a whole lot for my wanker status)
In eternal winter night
We're riding on and on
I found the books in Alexandria
They told the legends of a long lost light
"A marvel shines beyond our skies
A mythical giver of warmth and life"
My wonder turned into obsession
Could there be another world before our time
So I commandeered their crown that night
A behemoth to carry us over the ice
Mighty wheels will turn again
Flames of faith ignite
(So follow me)
Chase the legend of the sun
And bathe our world in light
(In holy light)
Board the beast and ride with me
On for humankind
(We're leaving now)
Dedication and belief
Ascend us from the blind
In eternal winter night
We're riding on and on
In search for truth beyond the blind
A golden light now gone
In this frozen afterworld
We'll fuel the flames of hope
Break the mountain
Bring back the sun
We are children of a world forgotten
They tried to turn their planet's dying days
A plan to seal the savage rays
In debt to the sacrifice never made
Their arrogance was their destruction
The sky awoke with cataclysmic light
And the answer made to void their crimes
Would cast all humanity into ice
Mighty wheels will turn again...
In eternal winter night...
Heavy metal hero
One thousand and one cars in size
You'll tear back the skies
Restore the light to human eyes
We're riding on to
Pierce the snow and tundra
Reach up to the veil and return
The sun for the world
We'll wake the sleeping earth once more
In eternal winter night...
Break the mountain
Bring back the light to our world
Pierce the skies and
Bring back the sun
Cross the wasteland
Bring back the sun

MASSIVE. Rocks so hard, and those bold, epic lyrics are just great. Even if you don't get any more songs out, I reckon you've done good this FAWM. (Kind of want to track down translations of the books now....)

WOW. This is insane (in the greatest way)! Everything from the guitarwork to the production to the vocals are top-notch. I love the little explosion noises added near the end. This is a lot of fun David, and I hope that giving FAWM a whirl was a pleasant experience for you.

This intro is so epic *_* Cool layering and great lyrics. What an anthem. The solo is also awesome (could be a bit louder). Made my day thank you!
@xfloorpunchx Feb 2022
Wow! I just hit played and i was hit by all this energy ! An awesome powermetal anthem! I was waiting for the guitar solo and i'm not disappointed! Awesome!
@emplate Feb 2022
Holy shit, those vocals floored me from the get-go! O_O This is just some perfectly executed power metal right here. The production, the playing, the composition... Incredible. Very well done!
