lyrics
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!
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!

about
CROWN OF AUTUMN Milan, Italy
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. A new milestone along the band’s artistic path! ... more

Unique flavour of prog/folk/metal. I don't even care about the classification at this point.

Veil of Imagination
by Wilderunsupported by 10 fans who also own “To Wield The Tempest Hilt”
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.
