A story of Tempestus. A god born of a storm. Cursed to wander alone.
lyrics
Tempestus:
(As I make my descent into the valley
Aching roots under my feet
I see throngs of dying faces
Amongst the trees
Wan and narrow
Broken and humbled
They've abandoned their homes
The land is scorched and barren
A bitter drought flowered only with death
My boots scrape on cracked and broken clay
My eyes well with tears
As dust permeates the air
It seems nothing will ever grow here again)
Amongst the ruined waste
There remained
A failing child
His hope gone with the rain
Praying to
A god that will deliver nothing
Stranded here
A family lost at home
The wanderer approaching
His eyes are hollow
A shadow of loss
Trailing at his feet
But still they feel
That compassion must guide them
A stranger made of death
They invite into their home
Rain must fall
The storm clouds within
You cannot defy
the rage building inside of you
A loss again
All the same
Yet worse than before
A black shroud falls
The storm will consume
Erasing all
Like that which created you
And though you exist
to manifest strife
In your wake of death...
Life
The kindness that they gave
He repaid
A bond was forged
born out of despair
But as the light gave way
Eyes empty as the grave
Unleashing rage
Tempestus tore the sky!
Rain must fall
The storm clouds within
You cannot defy
the rage building inside of you
A loss again
All the same
Yet worse than before
A black shroud falls
The storm will consume
Erasing all
Like that which created you
And though you exist
to manifest strife
In your wake of death...
Life
At last the thunder fades
Nothing remains
The family and child
All washed away
His tears they fall
Each drop into the flood
Once again
A drowned Love
Rain must fall
The storm clouds within
You cannot defy
the rage building inside of you
A loss again
All the same
Yet worse than before
A black shroud falls
The storm will consume
Erasing all
Like that which created you
And though you exist
to manifest strife
In your wake of death...
Life
Tempestus:
(As I take my final step out of the valley
I cannot bear to see
the carnage I have caused
A loss floating among the detritus
Absolute destruction of that which showed me love
And born out of the same
And though life may blossom here again
It will be a joy I never witness)

I'm a big fan of The Faceless middle two albums and when I saw Lyle Cooper was on this album I knew I needed to check it out. I bought the discography almost instantly, reminds me a little of The Faceless and a bit more of Fallujah who I also adore. Well worth the money, Support these great Musicians! dragonslayer8228

Fantastic album, which over the years has become IMPOSSIBLE to find (the 2006 version) - even to pirate it! It's great to have this, but I have one complaint: the 2006 version of Invisible Kingdom had one of my favorite guitar solos ever, and it's just not anywhere near as good or compelling on this version. A real shame. Still quite glad to have this. Please release Psychotic Sculpture and Beyond the Cursed Eclipse on BC! Archmage Orladin
