EMALY music by Cederick Forsberg, Pancho Ireland lyrics by Zoltán Papi Never knew her father she was a wandering child Long lost her mother yet no pain could break her heart But one day the light shone on her showing the path of the holy knights the diamond is burnished at last to become the guardian Hand of the holy light She wields salvation with a sword shining bright Emaly, torch in the night Granted a mighty sword that time almost fade A blessing of the old is a weapon at her aid When years later a grave danger came a dying nation cried out loud her name

BEND THE WORLD music by Pancho Ireland lyrics by Zoltán PapiBend th What if I say, there's more to gain than just hiding in your shell again? Follow my voice, a roaring thunder leave your darkness, torn it asunder You're no fool don't be their tool You have to show, show, show You go out and try bend the world tonight raise your hand up high Bend the world You go out and try face the evil swarm you become the storm Bend the world Everybody tells you to change follow their rules or get estranged but there's still much in you untapped leave it to them, make them deranged

WAY OF THE PALADIN music by Zoltán Papi, Pancho Ireland lyrics by Zoltán Papi Standing fierceful and proud Her blazing sword pointing to the ground (with) determination in her eyes led by the holy scripts the paladin has no fear Hear the glorious shout her retribution is screaming out loud Live by the most sacred code never stray from the road be ready, armed with zeal Blessed by the holy light the promise of honour and pride no matter the enemy I fight For I am a knight, I am a guardian with power granted by the Sun the eternal flame inside me Overcome the shadows For I am a knight, I am a guardian with power granted by the Sun the eternal flame inside me Overcome the shadows I am a paladin Standing fierceful and proud when the world falls all around faith is the paladin's weapon forged by the will of heaven She's the divine spear She was reborn in the light a hero bearing the cross of mankind defender of brothers and sisters to live a life in the light

HUNDRED LIONS music by Alessio Perardi lyrics by Zoltán Papi Battle rages between the living and the dead seeds of fear planted in the heart of men a defender falls, in death serves the blight the wicked horde swiftly multiplies Emaly approaches on a thundering horse a paladin's strength comes from whom She fights for Like a hundred lions with one mighty roar advance, engage they shall forevermore like a hundred lions with one mighty roar they're led by the light, and won't stop the lions shall never give up My brethren do not falter as your brothers and sisters are on your side holding this sacred ground! By the power of the light, let the battlefield be our church today! Battle rages between the living and the dead with hope in their hearts victory is ahead the wounded rise as the evil hordes banish by the rise of dawn shadows fade and vanish

TEMPLAR'S VERDICT music by Cederick Forsberg lyrics by Zoltán Papi They fought to deliver the evil and paid the price with blood justice got lost in the battle the word of glory trampled in mud Divine favour, come cleanse the weak by virtue and wisdom She'll be the law bringer This is the templar's verdict - a bladed judgement this is the templar's verdict - a crusader's strike this is the templar's verdict - a mighty divine storm Cast away the shroud of shadows humanity once again finds its path with the holy seal of the martyrs She brings upon the hammer of wrath

Golden Wings 04:10
GOLDEN WINGS music by Pancho Ireland lyrics by Zoltán Papi Mist breaks through the dusky clouds cobwebs hanging on the gloomy woods hungry wolves howl in the night but the pale moon reveals a path In the scent of the night flowers whispers dare to pray for a dream by their blessings be redeemed Free your mind, be ready to fly break through the veiled great sky Free your mind, be ready to fly golden wings will take you high Hold onto hope, no matter how dreary one day the endless fog disappears light conquers the spell of the arcane and the Sun shall return once again In the scent of the night whispers guide you to your dream now and always by their blessings be redeemed Free your mind, be ready to fly see more than meets your eye Free your mind, be ready to fly golden wings will take you high

DARKFANG KEEP music by Zoltán Papi, Pancho Ireland lyrics by Zoltán Papi Standing lone upon a bare hill its aged walls, proud and still spectral cries reverb from inside shiver runs through your spine Welcome to the Darkfang Keep don't be afraid, come and take a peek sit down in the courtyard's inn Welcome to the Darkfang Keep don't mind the lost souls within but beware of the werewolves' bite always hold your shield tight And if you wander through the halls and hear the door squeaking behind be prepared and stand tall, holy knight look to the sky, it's a full moon

UNDER THE BURNING SUN music by Edmond Kulcsár lyrics by Zoltán Papi Long have I lost my fight in this war It's a fate none of us wished to behold but I'm a warrior of life, I am glorious Under the Burning Sun, I have to face my shadows Under the Burning Sun, I Stood bold, strong and steadfast the saviour has arrived at long last I rein my senses from leading me astray trying to help myself from drifting away for I'm a broken mirror of dreams Have a look, I'm fragile and broken these wounds don't bleed but they're wide open and still, I'm unable to mend them Under the Burning Sun, I have to face my shadows Under the Burning Sun I stand a shattered soul broken and undone help me to carry on from where I stand under the Burning Sun Tell me why? Why? Just why? We are blinking sparks vanishing in thin air searching for answers of why, how and where Have we lost what we were? Or we knew it right? The sole answer is just a hollow cry Light, grant us a chance to redeem ourselves We are more than just blank empty shells Perish away, helpless, numb and blind We are one soul and there's still life to find I stand a shattered soul broken, undone Will you help me to carry on? From where I stand under the Burning Sun

about

☀️ IT'S TIME FOR THE WAKE OF ASHES! ☀️

Our first album sounds like a powerhouse and you can bet it doesn’t lack the magic trio of speed, riffs, and melodies! We avoided opera singing and symphonic madness; this is a 100% power metal record influenced by the likes of HELLOWEEN, GRAVE DIGGER, IRON SAVIOR, and HAMMERFALL.

Although the songs don’t form a cohesive story, our debut is a concept album based on Zoltán’s World of Warcraft character, Emaly, who uses her holy light to slay undead minions. Those who crave fantasy power metal are in for a real treat.

The CD is released by Stormspell Records, the cassette by Burning Sun Records. You can find the album on all digital platforms (Spotify, iTunes, Amazon, Bandcamp, Deezer, YouTube Music, etc.)
