about

A progressive metal song based on the episode "Dragon Quest" from "MLP: Friendship is Magic" and is the second song on my upcoming concept album and a continuation of the first song called "Misbegun". Listen that one here: youtu.be/jP0DDFs2Nx4

My first concept album, taking place in Equestria, is named "Dead Wings of Grace" but may be subject to change. The album will contain three songs telling the same continuous story.

The first part of the story, named "Misbegun", is about Spike, the baby dragon, who leaves Ponyville to find his true self and purpose in the Badlands where the dragons (The Horde) hail. There's a lot more to it than this, but it's more interesting to leave it to your own interpretation.

The second song, named "King of the Horde", focuses on when Spike meet these other dragons and, eventually (after an unspecified amount of time), becomes the king.

The third and final song, named "Their Blackest Day", will focus on when Spike has become the king of The Horde and leads them to annihilate Ponyville, Canterlot and Cloudsdale.

My concept album(s) takes place in a different type of Equestria where things are more harsh and dark. Think of it as a mix of Dark Souls and the show. In this Equestria, the dragons are called "The Horde" and have a history with the region around Ponyville, Canterlot and Cloudsdale. 1000 years ago, The Horde was banished to the Badlands by Queen Celestia. Once again, there's a lot more to it than this.


This song has been under the rug for about 4 years, if not more. I'm thrilled to finally see it complete and out in the world!


Recorded, mixed and mastered using Cubase 5.
Video produced using Adobe After Effects CS5.5

lyrics

Verse 1a
Skeleton paradise, realm of chaos, the strongest survives
Born in hatred, a brutal vision for revenge
A mental scar, the wounds are deep
I won't be alone in this dark reality

Verse 1b
Deny
Negate
For my
Absolution fueled by hate
Defy
Dominate
And I
Hell on earth I'll orchestrate

Ghost 1
I'll be the face... the face of horror
I'll be the chaos... the chaos restorer
I'll be the end... the end of the line
I'll be death... death divine

Reverie
I'm nearing the point of no return
Climbing ever higher

[Chorus 2]
Our power and their pain
Dancing until we remain
Don't stop the noise inside my head
The fearful sound of violence

Our power will sustain
Devastate the tyrants reign
Don't stop the voice inside my head
The flawless sound of violence

Verse 2a
Look into our eyes if you want to know the meaning of hate
Everything we lost came from blood, sweat, toil and faith
They took a free ride to a place where you drew the line
And so we brought you out from the depths of your self decline

Verse 2b
War cry
Dictate
For my
Resolution fueled by hate
Defy
Dominate
And I
Hell on earth I'll orchestrate

King 1
They will live for war, the way they die
Bring on the taste of misery

Violent the sound the fearless screams
Here comes the pain here comes the agony

I am reborn, I am the king
I am the king of the horde

Ghost 2
I am the face... the face of horror
I am the chaos... the chaos restorer

[Chorus 3]
Our power and their pain
Dancing until we remain
Can't stop the sonance in my head
The perfect sound of violence

Our power will sustain
Devastate the tyrants reign
Can't stop the music in my head
The eternal sound of violence

Verse 3
Deny
Negate
For my
Conflagration fueled by hate
Defy
Dominate
And I
Hell on earth I'll orchestrate

Ghost 3
I am the end... the end of the line
We are death... death divine
