Our first single, "Gai'don", fuses melodic guitar parts and symphonic elements with the rawness of old school Death Metal, in order to create a chaotic, still controlled new realm.
In The Old Tongue, "gai'don" refers to a battle between Gods, a key battle, that will win or lose a war. Gai'don is phonetically similar to the word and concept of Armageddon, which inspired the lyrics and the overall intensity and dynamicity of the song (Robert Jordan's "The Wheel of Time").
lyrics
Renegade the darkness, already gone,
We are alone and no one seeks us.
Bless the pagan blood, let the shadows rot,
Renegade the horror, slaughter remains.
Right ahead, the fear avenged us,
Sorrow and despair, where light is rare,
Full of ash and nowhere else to go,
The smoke stuffed our lungs, forgive us
For the harm we caused and the hope we lost.
The obscure makes us blind, you see,
We are blind, can't see treachery.
When the time will come, we will finally overcome.
RISE!
When chains finally break, souls are awake,
Gloom in their minds and fire in their veins.
When our reign suffers in flames,
We will remain and our ways we'll regain.
And again, the fear has risen, but the blood is still imprisoned.
Embrace the dust, our souls combust, our kind is fading so
Listen to the silent stream.
There is no cure, we stand up and endure,
Conceit remains, and the flood is now red stained,
Only pain in our name and home becomes the darkest reign.
When chains finally break, souls are awake,
Gloom in their minds and fire in their veins.
When our reign suffers in flames,
We will remain and our ways we'll regain.
