REVIEWS
"Ihr neuer Longplayer „Lychcraft“ überzeugt mit melodischen, oft balladesken Stücken wie ´Awakening´, ´The Stairway´ oder ´Living Bad Dreams´, die Fans von Blind Guardian, Hammerfall und Orden Ogan angenehm in den Ohren kitzeln dürften, aber auch mit härteren Nummern der Marke ´Avalanche´, ´Cromm Cruagh´, ´Lychcraft´, ´The Way Of The Hunter´ und ´My Clarity In Chaos´. Zudem ist die Truppe immer für eine Überraschung gut und ballert der Hörerschaft eine Eins-a-Coverversion des Amorphis-Hits ´Black Winter Day´ vor den Latz – stattliche Growls inklusive"

SONGTEXTE
DEATHGLOW
Seems now the end has begun
There’s no light in the sky
You can’t run as the forces arise
Everything’s fading
Absorbed in my gravity
Slow burning rage
And I go down in flames
The time has come I’m past the point of no return
How did a spark become so strong?
Watch me now
As I go
Freeze as you feel my invisible pull
Witness me
My deathglow
I will be fire
Just before I implode
Look at what I have become
I am darkness
Tearing apart and devouring the stars
The time has come I’m past the point of no return
How did a spark become so strong?
Lashing out in my last fury
Raging chaos I’ll endure it
Burn! Break! Burst!
Lashing out in my last fury
Raging Chaos I’ll endure it!
Rip! Crash! Hurt!
A long-lasting shadow of lightening remains
And the sky holds my handprint now forevermore
Bright shall my shine then be seen
A from afar when I’m gone
For a long time a beacon of hope
There’s no light in the sky
You can’t run as the forces arise
Everything’s fading
Absorbed in my gravity
Slow burning rage
And I go down in flames
The time has come I’m past the point of no return
How did a spark become so strong?
Watch me now
As I go
Freeze as you feel my invisible pull
Witness me
My deathglow
I will be fire
Just before I implode
Look at what I have become
I am darkness
Tearing apart and devouring the stars
The time has come I’m past the point of no return
How did a spark become so strong?
Lashing out in my last fury
Raging chaos I’ll endure it
Burn! Break! Burst!
Lashing out in my last fury
Raging Chaos I’ll endure it!
Rip! Crash! Hurt!
A long-lasting shadow of lightening remains
And the sky holds my handprint now forevermore
Bright shall my shine then be seen
A from afar when I’m gone
For a long time a beacon of hope
LYCHCRAFT
The seal has been broken
My bones in the dark
(They) Stir at the motion
Dusty and starved
The curse of forever
Still echoes in here
The glow of the runes
Turns bright in the air
Science forbidden must answer to me
The secrets of time all shall be revealed
Obey my command, Universe you will yield
Number and magic! Come bow to my will!
I shall evolve beyond the flesh
My blazing soul can never rest
I wield the strength to conquer death
Sheer power surging from my wrath
Eternity is mine at last
The final spell is cast
I hold the strength to vanquish death
Undying will…Lychcraft!
I’ll bleed myself dry in an ocean of red
And drown all emotion
No fear, no regrets
I’ll rip out my eyes and climb out of my skin
Scorch my dead heart in the fire within
Peel off the foul meat attached to my bones
In darkness and aether I now bind my soul
Eternity is mine at last
The final spell is cast
I hold the strength to vanquish death
Undying will…Lychcraft!
Peel the foul meat
From my dry bones
And in darkness
I now bind my soul
THE STAIRWAY
I rise from wretched masses
The stairs ahead to climb
Where far above in health and wealth
The powerful reside
Revenge I seek and justice
For those I leave behind
My brothers and my sisters
Say, can you hear them cry?
I dare you, demon, step aside!
Each step you take comes at cost
I need your ears to let you pass
Steep is the thing you’re asking
But small a sacrifice
To ease my brethren’s pain and plight
I’ll gladly pay the price
Revenge I seek and justice
For those I leave behind
My brothers and my sisters
Say, can you hear them cry?
I dare you, demon, step aside!
Each step you take comes at a cost
I need your eyes to let you pass
These stairs to climb and conquer
I do not need my eyes
My brothers and my sisters,
Why do you seem so light?
I dare you, demon, step aside
Each step you take comes at a cost
Without a fee no-one will pass
It might seems harsh, but understand:
These are the rules I cannot bend
I am surprised to find that
You made it so far up
If I am now to let you in
I only need your heart
Many came before you
Yet all of them were lost
All such righteous heroes
And all of them forgot
Oh, my dreams are now within my grasp
Take it all and let me pass!
Each step I took was worth the cost
So much gained at little loss
Now I look down from above
I wonder what they’re crying for
I don’t recall
I don’t recall
CROMM CRUAGH
Twilight is here and I must walk alone
To the place where skulls are crushed on black stone
I’m seeking out the putrid wyrm
Grim idols whispering I must stand tall, brave and firm
Nothing must stand in my way
Today I’m walking straight
And nothing can lead me astray
I’ll never be afraid
I`ll travel where no one else dares
Never fly nor fail
His eyes are the void I must face
Endure, prevail, nothing must stand in my way
Samhain opened the gate
Tonight I’m walking straight
And nothing can lead me astray
Tonight I call the fight
And slay the shadow that scares
Bitter´s the water that I have to drink
It’s the blood of a dead heart
Pumping up from a black pit
I’m ripping out that poison well
Cold eyes are watching as I must face hell
I’ll never be afraid
I’ll never fly or fail
I’ll overcome and
travel where no one else dares
His eyes are the void I must face
I've travelled where no one else dared!
TEOTWAWKI
(The End Of The World As We Know It)
This is the end of the world
Look at the red dust rising
Scattered bones on the ground
Flicker lights in a broken sky
Rivers gone dry
An empty world collapsing
Eaten alive by the swarm
Dead locusts in a graveyard
Left nothing at all!
This is the end of the world
As we know it!
„It’s different than I thought
No walking dead
No mushroom clouds
Only MadMax for us all…“
You burn, you scream, you choke, you drown
You starve, you freeze, you cry, you’re out!
We burn, we scream, we choke, we drown
We starve, we freeze, we cry, fade out!
This is the end of the world
As we know it!
This is the end of it all!
THE AWAKENING
I found a space: beyond the dark awaits a sky of ocean waves
No rigid mind can find this place
And I can almost taste the vivid colors blaze, at rays of light I gaze
So dense and clear upon the scape
I must remain before it fades
And stay awake!
Oh...show me the path that leads up to the gate I lost my way!
Where’s the key to the lock?
Where’s the bridge I must cross
Through the dark under the day?
I must wake!
And I will once return into this otherworld
I know it will occur and like a flag the map unfurls
A passage in the dark, a tunnel under arcs
A lever hidden in the dragon’s mouth will be my mark
Where’s the gate I must pass?
Where’s the path I have lost
Through the haze and out of the maze?
I’m awake I walk on past the gate on the path I had lost
Through the haze and out of the maze!
There’s the key to the lock and the bridge
I must cross Through the dark
I found my way
I’m awake!
MY CLARITY IN CHAOS
I'm locked in my cell
Devils and Demons taunt my soul
Chained to this wall
Made out of pain fear and misery
Voices rise
Howling madness drowning every thought
Fire fear pain
I cannot get away
Rage and craze
Leading me to despair
This is hell
How can I save myself
Fallen Seraphs twisted dark infernal
Hear their wretched choir
Summoning insanity
Voices rise
Howling madness
Drowning every thought
And I can't shout them out
I lost all control
Fallen from grace I'm left alone
My troubled thoughts
They are a labyrinth of doom
I must keep my sanity
In this chaos find my clarity
Armageddon is gone silent
I'm aware now
Hell can’t touch me anymore
I have kept my sanity
in my chaos clarity
I found serenity
AVALANCHE
Growing in silence, whispers of violence
Frozen eruption, crawling destruction
Then out of nowhere and without a sign
White noise is roaring now run for your life
Pressure is building to cold, chilling rage
Hate cracks the surface, don’t stand in my way!
Chaos in motion, waves of distortion
Then out of nowhere and without a sign
White noise is roaring now run for your life
All things are shifting into a new place
The age of stagnation will be now erased
Pressure is building to cold, chilling rage
Hate cracks the surface, don’t stand in my way!
I will bury you in a grave of white all alike
And I will keep you down `till the end of time bound alive!
THE WAY OF THE HUNTER
Follow your trail through the storm, through the snow
I have to walk through the dark, through the cold
Tasting your scent on the air that surrounds
I sense your motion deep in the ground
In the ground
Hold your breath - make no sound
Make no sound
Tracking you down, but you’re still out of sight
Blind are my eyes, I must see with my mind
The rush of your blood is a drum in the clouds
I sense your motion deep in the ground
In the ground
Hold your breath - make no sound
This is the way
Doubt has no place
Don´t hesitate
Make no mistake
This is my way
The way of the hunter
Fail or prevail
The way of the hunter
