1.	Templeisen 04:14	lyrics	buy track
TEMPLEISEN Behold the crown triumphant, a golden sphere held in hand; his white steed will ride across the land to carry the truth resplendent! An opening wound through the clouds, the holy sword of the sun perennial and invincible; by thy Word, death has been dethroned. Non nobis, Domine, non nobis sed nomine tuo da gloriam. Rise brotherhood, rise in battle cries! Non nobis, Domine, non nobis sed nomine tuo da gloriam. Rise brotherhood, rise in battle cries!
2.	Aegis 05:05	lyrics	buy track
AEGIS To incarnate God’s solar dart, to bring out splendours from the dark, this is the quest that noble men shall never leave nor forget. Hail transfiguration and drink to its dawn! Glide over the oceans until an isle is shown, antediluvian. Aegis; the transmutation is made of lead into gold. Aegis; all darkness has been enslaved by a force untold. Let the foes be turned to stone now, by thy glance - statues standing still, perennially. Let the key be turned by centurion’s lance, bleeding crimson righteously. May all the pain melt in the rain, leaving us transparent and sane. Emancipate from fear and hate, the sacred king dominates. Conquer resurrection and sit on its throne! Soar over the mountains until you’ll find the stone, antediluvian. Aegis; the transmutation is made of lead into gold. Aegis; all darkness has been enslaved by a force untold. Let the foes be turned to stone now, by thy glance - statues standing still, perennially. Let the key be turned by centurion’s lance, bleeding crimson… Let the foes be turned to stone now, by thy glance - statues standing still, perennially. Let the key be turned by centurion’s lance. Sighing, giving, dying righteously.
3.	Noble Wolf 03:35	lyrics	buy track
NOBLE WOLF How pure is the air I breathe on this early Winter night, what a stainless landscape I contemplate… Twinkling stars like myriads of ice drops held in the crystalline darkness, they watch over my lonely path like guardian deities of old. Noble, noble wolf. Boldly alone, wild minstrel of the full moon am I! The furtive owls are my companions, they sing along with me: “How can the vision of this snow-veiled realm bring such a warmth to the heart?” Chief of the hunter tribes, the grim mountain is my throne. This lunar song of mine paves the way for the dawn to come.
4.	Forest Of Thoughts 05:01	lyrics	buy track
FOREST OF THOUGHTS You will find more knowledge in rills and in mountains grand, rather than in your books. Oh, sylvan ghost, whose whisper is heard beneath Autumn’s crimson foliage: anoint my forehead with the gems of thy wisdom. For thee our druids are calling, to thee our bards are singing. When every single thing vibrates, one is the symphony; then every single moment fades into eternity. Thunders, hammers of war, fury will come carried by mighty winds. Trees kneel beneath the storm, our legions march onwards to victory! You will find more knowledge in rills and in mountains grand, rather than in your books. The Dragon is everywhere, Its glistening flakes are there; reflections on water rings, a bloodline of chosen kings. As every single things vibrates, one is the symphony; then every single moment fades into eternity. Thunders, hammers of war, fury will come carried by mighty winds. Trees kneel beneath the storm, our legions march onwards to victory!
5.	Ultima Thule 02:51	lyrics	buy track
ULTIMA THULE To thee shall serve the regions beyond the north; the globe entire enlightened by thy supreme fire! An augury of triumph and harmony; our dignity, springs out of this natural hierarchy. Evanescent the vision of crystal cliffs and silver waters; our palace I saw in a dream. Those waves are quenching, the storms I have left behind as I dock at the shores, white shores and beyond them a peaceful dawn…
6.	At The Crystal Stairs Of Winter 03:17	lyrics	buy track
AT THE CRYSTAL STAIRS OF WINTER Thy glory awakens! Imperatrix , clear star forsaken. The Solstice we celebrate, thy bridegroom’s rise we contemplate. At the crystal stairs of winter we await for happiness to come. Hail justice, hail sacrifice, hail beauty as pure as ice! …and the Lamb will welcome us back, it will run towards us and dress us with love. We are long lost prodigal sons; the Father has sent into our cave his dove. Thy glory awakens! Imperator, bright sun forsaken. The Solstice we celebrate, let us be one with our own fate. At the crystal stairs of winter we await for happiness to come. Hail justice, hail sacrifice, hail beauty as pure as ice! …and the Lamb will welcome us back, it will run towards us and dress us with love. We are long lost prodigal sons; the Father has sent into our cave his dove.
7.	To Wield The Tempest Hilt 04:48	lyrics	buy track
TO WIELD THE TEMPEST’S HILT Grand arbiter of time and space, and father of the primal race. The middle cross upon the hill - his hands to wield the tempest’s hilt. Show us the way to achieve greatness and sacred peace, beyond the storms of war, for a younger dawn to be released. The emperor is faithful and true to the sacred vow. The furious sea, the oncoming hordes: they shall bow! Brandish the holy Libra’s law for men to reap just what they sow. From Paradise, five scarlet rills - his hands to wield the tempest’s hilt. Show us the way to reach dryness and transparency, beyond our dripping sins, for this weary sorrow to be ceased. The emperor is faithful and true to the sacred vow. The furious sea, the oncoming hordes: they shall bow! Born to wield, to wield the tempest’s hilt! Skulls erode in hollow helms spread like stones across the land, desolation through the mounds - no memory, no sound. The emperor is faithful and true to the sacred vow. The furious sea, the oncoming hordes: they shall bow!
8.	In The Garden Of The Wounded King 06:07	lyrics	buy track
IN THE GARDEN OF THE WOUNDED KING Thus redemption bloomed in a five petal rose when he arose from a silent tomb, as our world fell asleep in a dream deep. Spill five crimson streams along the fields, until thou will break the last of thy seals. Humanity kneels! Thorns like laurel, blood as a sovereign’s cloak - untrembling oak. Great and patient will be thine ire upon them! Jerusalem... Spill five crimson streams along the fields, until thou will break the last of thy seals. King of the cosmos, our star of the North; lion eternal, thou art light coming forth! Son of the Divine and Divine thyself, one with the Spirit, witness heaven sent. Spina, clavi, lancea, mite corpus perforarunt; unda manat et cruor; Terra, pontus, astra, mundus quo lavantur flumine. Spill five crimson streams along the fields, until thou will break the last of thy seals. Humanity heals! Thus redemption bloomed in a five petal rose when he arose from a silent tomb, as our world fell asleep in a dream deep. In the garden of the wounded king.
9.	Triumphant 04:10	lyrics	buy track
TRIUMPHANT Fountain of precious blood, a heritage forlorn. Aeons before the flood did an angel soar... Be patient until dawn oh, splendid hyperborean swan! He comes victorious to win again - and I beheld a rider white - bringer of sacred order and reign; way of the north. Cosmic integrity, a lighthouse for sailors; mystical legacy’s navigators. Remind us our vows lest we forget thy knowledge and drowse. He comes victorious to win again - and I beheld a rider white - bringer of sacred order and reign; way of the north. Still time and spaces vast, the first art thou and so the last. He comes victorious to win again - and I beheld a rider white - bringer of sacred order and reign; way of the north, way of the northern knight.
10.	Ye Cloude Of Unknowing 05:13	lyrics	buy track
YE CLOUDE OF UNKNOWING Now finally we dive, naked we dive like a leaf from the tree, into the purest sky - moths in ecstasy, straight in the flame. We hail this golden day, has never a day been so bright, so glorious! Our breath has left the clay, as our bodies lay. A desert silence is growing within the cloud of unknowing. Annihilate the fears, annihilate the tears, abandon whatever that binds! Ignore the desire by quenching its fire, untie thyself from the ground then rise! …and the dark night of the soul, still in a blessed forgetfulness. Don’t be afraid to fall - the world is no more, God is no more, thyself is no more! Leave everything behind and enter the halls of oblivion. This emptiness divine is for us to find. A desert silence is growing within the cloud of unknowing. Annihilate the fears, annihilate the tears, abandon whatever that binds! Ignore the desire by quenching its fire, untie thyself from the ground then rise!

about

Crown Of Autumn rise again after more than a decade of enchanted sleep! Dreamy melodies, epic rides, warlike fury and of course those typical medieval inserts which made their debut a true underground cult are the keywords of this new full length album. It is a musical kaleidoscope of past and future enigmas, brought to your ears by a very compact and fresh sound that never betrays the roots of the band. A renewed line-up gives to these 11 songs the most intense expression ever, alternating various vocal styles such as dark whispers, powerful male singing, wrathful screams and delicate female vocals touches. A new milestone along the band’s artistic path.

The songs are masterfully composed and flow together beautifully, and the orchestration is exactly how I want metal orchestration to sound: full, playable by a real orchestra, and just as important to the music as the vocals, drums, guitar, and bass are. tonycordeshimself
