The sequel to Sky Fortress!! Also, our first song with our new guitarist and semi-new bassist!
lyrics
Words of power drip from his lips
Black fire pours from his fingertips
Dark Master of the Fortress in the Sky
Avarice incarnate
Black of heart
Black of mind
Preserved by souls
The blood of the dead keep him alive
Dark magicks nourish him
Decimations make him thrive
"We must fight,
or we will fall!"
"We are Almea's shield, and
we are her sword!"
"Heft your spears men!
Raise your axes to gods!
Their sorceries are strong,
but so are ours!
We are ready for this fight,
tonight.
We win or die.
Steel your nerves men.
Doom's approaching from on high.
You stand your ground,
you do not falter!
Trust the brothers by you sides.
Tonight,
we win or die."
Almea's forces stood with the setting sun to their backs, and watched as the doom fortress approached in the eastern sky. The men and women who'd vowed to protect The Shining City gripped their weapons tight, and readied themselves for what they knew was to come. The Sky Fortress was almost upon them... and a chill wind came with it.
"These fools are marching
to their deaths."
