Metalhamster The full album is good, but the second half slays. From the excellent instrumental Seraph Requiem to the mid(ish) tempo Last Survivor to the epic conclusion, this is excellent songwriting for melodic power metal. Don't miss it. Favorite track: Edge Of The Abyss.

Gale Force Wind Ancient Empire are back after only a year of downtime and they're just as strong as ever, in fact they've added a bit more balladry on this one. The riffs are amazing, the playing is tight, and the story is amazing. I'm convinced Joe Liszt cannot record a bad album, everything he's done, from Hellhound to Shadowkiller to Ancient Empire, every single record kicks ass! Favorite track: Edge Of The Abyss.

A New Dawn 05:46
A flash and life is born Humanity it rises From the land and seas A new life is formed How did this begin? And come alive? So much belief in us To become more in time Can we live to make it and reach another day Life will not be forsaken With the morning sun, comes a new dawn We stand staring across the sea And raise our arms to shield our eyes from the light The sand falls between our fingertips As we come into existence
2.
Born In Fire 04:54
In an age long ago, a plague born to kill them all And just before the night they are pulled from the darkness Unknown to the survivors a hand has been given And in their time of need they are saved again Why do they pray to this madness in a house of lies? Must we reveal ourselves to our own creation? In a storm they live and die, born in fire Faith in gods unseen In structures made of stone Hate from religion in a world that’s become torn Inherent in everyone, a growing insanity Can it be stopped in time before they are unborn? A ravaged world releases toxic waste into the air They’re creating their own demise In a war to end all, a weapon’s being built And just before completion they are saved again
3.
The sky rips asunder Invaders fill the void A dark force of nature With only one goal As the violence erupts chaos is born A war of survival For a hundred years the battle rages Most burn to ash, wings of the fallen Undying violent race Remove the angels Born to consume Exist only to dominate Forged within the hall of kings A weapon is born A last chance to strike with all our fury And send them all back through the void
4.
On the horizon, our armies standing strong A wall of machines reflecting in the sunlight Extinction imminent we are witness to the end In one last battle we are lost A calm before the storm In these final hours of life The last war rages on Consuming all those left alive Fire consumes our defective heart Unforgiving pain somewhere deep within A raging storm erupts, and darkness fills the sky Unleashing our own destruction In the storm we sacrifice ourselves A madness to deep to fend So much hope for us all Now gone forever Our time is now at an end On the horizon, our armies stand and fall A wall of destruction reflecting in the sunlight Extinction imminent only one witness in the end In the last battle we are gone

A shadowed figure fades into view The only living thing that’s left here alive A ghostly form across this wasted land Can this be the last survivor? He pulls himself up to rest on the ridge His eyes deceive him, how can this be real? So much gone and lost, the earth forever changed Nothing left for me now but anguish and pain Sun shrouded in dust And the Shadows seem alive Are humans gone now? Just a fading memory? He makes his way across the devastation He finds a weapon never before seen by man Hungry and tired, eyes burn in the sun As he pulls it from the earth, it flashes and he’s gone
7.
As the war settles They descend below Revealing the loss by their absence A world once full of life Now dormant and grey A search for life only reveals the dead He's holding the bones of man A dream now lost in time So much hope now turned to dust No life left but the ghosts remain This night in history So many years ago Through tears he stares to A world now only broken Isolation lies before them No hope to carry on In anguish their wings rip away
8.
Surrounded by the stars, so many years that we’ve traveled And in the dark, will we find our way home? In the shadows of space and time, on the edge of the abyss So many years since we’ve been at war, has our future come to this? On and on, into madness we fall No sense of life on this cold and empty world Feeling hopeless as our dream fades away Is this the end of the human race? Are they lost forever, wings of the fallen? In the shadows of space and time, on the edge of the abyss So many years since we’ve been at war, now our future’s come to this On and on, into madness we fall No sense of life on this cold forgotten world Feeling hopeless as our dream fades away Is this the end of the human race? Surrounded by the stars, so many years that we’ve traveled And in the end, we have found our way home
