about
I'm back with another single!! This one is a tale of a kingdom with inner conflicts. A kingdom on the brink of collapse. Tainted by their own civil war. We follow a knight's recollection of events, as he fights to take back what's his.
With that, I'd also like to announce: Micu from the amazing metal band UNDEAD CORPORATION has agreed to be my official main vocalist. Such a talented metal vocalist is now going to be featured on my tracks regularly!! This is the first track he's on as an official vocalist!
Also I'd like to thank long time friend Nicholas Carapella for doing the intro vocals / narration. He did a fantastic job presenting the narrative and feel for the rest of the song. Go check out his links below.
Of course I have to thank Unexysted for doing phenomenal graphics work. This cover turned out SICK with your graphics touches.
Finally, thanks fdigl for mentoring me throughout this track. Honestly without you, this would've never sounded this killer. I've learned so many techniques regarding EQ, compression, vocal mixing, and general all-around production techniques. Really appreciate you being a part of this and helping me understand all the things I've been missing!
I've also been starting to work on writing songs for a future EP. It's something I really want to work on. I spent this last year really honing my craft to bring you this track, so now I can start really focusing on bigger and better things. Stay tuned!

lyrics
We stand divided in a war of silver and crimson
The dawn of a new day promises no more hope than the harrowing shroud of dusk
The iron of blood has stained my soul, but my kingdom's battle rages on
Brothers, sisters, I stand among my remaining kin.
And I know only one thing.
I will fight
Walk among the death and misery
Clash with iron and steel
Hate and chaos reign supreme
I must fight with my honor
Sword and shield at the ready
I'll fight with all that I have
Should I fall in this battle
I'll fall with grace
We will be victorious!
I will protect my kingdom
As I stand, eye to eye
I will fight until my last breath
Charge!
Archers attack, swords clash
Bodies collapse, this battle is ours
Encounter thy foe, bring them all down
Follow through the Knight's March
Tens, Hundreds, Thousands of dead
Honor the fallen, never look back
Avenge their deaths, never surrender
Accomplish thy goal, they will fall
Look among the blood and ashes
What has this become?
All that we have built up
Has been for naught
Revelations of our past
Why did it come to this?
We power through this conflict
As we press the attack
I will keep my honor
Bloodied sword, shield in hand
Gaze at thy enemy
Prepare to attack
Charge!
Archers attack, swords clash
Bodies collapse, this battle is ours
Encounter thy foe, bring them all down
Follow through the Knight's March
Tens, Hundreds, Thousands of dead
Honor the fallen, never look back
Avenge their deaths, never surrender
Accomplish thy goal, they will fall
This war will never end
As the bloodshed continues to spread
Conflict and pain engulfs my mind
As we contest to claim what's mine
I look around myself
Pain as far as the eye can see
What is the purpose of our fight?
Pointless battles for an unjust cause
Armies form on the horizon
They have forced my hand
I clutch my blade, stare into their eyes
Heart racing, won't back down
Charge!
Archers attack, swords clash
Bodies collapse, this battle is ours
Encounter thy foe, bring them all down
Follow through the Knight's March
Tens, Hundreds, Thousands of dead
Honor the fallen, never look back
Avenge their deaths, never surrender
Accomplish thy goal, they will fall
