SHADOW ON THE SAND

I remember long ago when my name was Lone Wolf - the warrior
The sole survivor of the Kai order - The last of lords
A Flight from the Dark into Fire on the Water - The broken skull I overthrew
Then I conquered the Caverns of Kalte
and eluded the Chasm of Doom

And I was there
Shadow on the sand
Dark desert land
I have arrived
Shadow on the sand
Oh I better be brave

I was running through the dust in the streets of the city of Barrakeesh
Chased like a dog by the fierce Sharnazim - Into the ooze of the Baga-darooz
Oh, this aint no place for the weary - no time to crumble and cry
Cuase the matter of haste here was clearly To retrieve the Book of Magnakai

So bring it on
Shadow on the sand
Dark desert land
I have arrived
Shadow on the sand

Up to the skies of Vasagonia I raise the Sommerswerd
My bloodshot eyes reflecting in its blade
And by the royal crown of Ulnar, the bloodline of my king
I swear I shall escape this hostile sunbleached land

I shall prevail!

For them, for us, for Sommerlund and the Kai!

I smell epic cheese.

[huanchoo]

Can I say I despise metal?

[askhati]

Epic lyrics, but the song fails. They should've asked Manowar to do it instead.

[Ofecks]

This isn't really metal, sorry to say. The only "metal" sound in the song is the vocal style. The instrumental accompaniment is more akin to something like Primus. It's an interesting alt-rock song, sure, but you had me really excited when you said metal. I was expecting some epic power metal, but was kinda disappointed.

[askhati]

Amen. I was expecting Dragonforce or Manowar.

[Ofecks]

Or Hammerfall or Edguy or Gamma Ray.

[askhati]

Hmm. I should* grow my beard again and start wearing more leather.

[Zipp]

I have to be honest and say that I hate this.

[askhati]

Yeah, the vocals and instruments are trash. Lyrics have potential though.

[Zipp]

Yeah, the lyrics are good.

[executioneer]

I wouldn't put it past (The Lord Weird) Slough Feg to record a song about LW, they've done an entire concept album based on the Traveller RPG.

[planewalker25]

I like the lyrics and I applaud them for doing a Lone Wolf-inspired song.

But yeah, the singing didn't do it for me at all. A scratchy or gravelly voice would have been fine, but he sounded like he was clearing his throat all through the song.

[Moon Dancer]

Lone Wolf soundtrack by Manowar?
ooo, yes please! ;D

*ponders sending that idea to them*

[Wolfus]

Nooo, I hate Manowar... Worst band ever - posseur tragic metal. I think old Anathema or My Dying Bride would do good song about fate of Kai monastery.
