lyrics

His world of beauty lay beyond the things we know and see
The old man`s violin was his voice - how it called to me!
From the attic music came, peculiarly composed
Tempting fascination in his haunting notes

Bridge:

(Horror is creeping up on me)
String by string the veil is torn apart
Strain by strain cold fear takes my heart
(slowly striking its roots in me)

Chorus:

A nocturnal trial
The sound of his viol
playing my strings of sanity
Woe finds its way
into Rue d`Auseil
fraying my strings of sanity

Many a time I stood entranced before his door
The dread of vague wonder crept into my very core
Until one night when from inside cacophany would rise
The shrieking of his viol and his voiceless cries

(Bridge)

(Chorus)

A storm arose from far beyond the world we see and know
The old man`s violin frantically made pandemonium grow
In the attic mayhem reigned and chaos was composed
Terrifying anguish in his haunting notes

(Bridge)

A nocturnal trial
The sound of his viol
playing my strings of sanity
His secret will stay
here in Rue d`Auseil
fraying my strings of sanity

If Elric had a soundtrack it would be this. It's everything you want from a epic metal album. Like a hot poker in the eye, but in a good way. Scott Malthouse

So I can't leave a long enough review to say everything I want. But I will say this, I love this EP. It's a great little follow up to times, and has just enough of a dynamic shift in sound to prove that Smoulder isn't a one trick pony with their first album's formula. This one really plays up the 70s prog aspects (DUST and Manilla Road influences definitely shine through even harder here). It's still Smoulder, don't get me wrong. Just a different side in some ways, all of which are good. playfulpooka
