Long awaited journey's end, of one voice our tale begins
With heroes loved from afar, at Totnes bluff they disembark
See one of the blood and one of the sword
Survey the land
A long cruel exile ends, birthright betrayed
Brutus of the royal line, and Corin, brave, at his side
Shall loose the tyrant's grip, with the landing of their ships
To make a stand, with fire forged will
Truth shall prevail, to claim a land
By darking of the sun ( Becalmed )
Justice so hard to find ( Betrayed )
Even heroes have their doubts ( Sometimes )
Were Deities promises hollow in their ring ? ( Ahhhhh)
When first the lady came, Into the shrine
Veiled in mist, two alone
She prophesised
Seek the island fair, in the Western Sea
Your destiny to lead, Fair Albion
Where the giants dwell
Where the giants dwell
You found a land
Breaking silence, strike from Plymouth
Men at arms secured the land
And God looked well upon them
Mark the names of Corin's band
Prophecy foretold, Heroes true and bold
Face the giants who rule Fair Albion
In danger still they harried, no quarter asked or gave
To leave the ironclad leader
Gogmagog his fearsome name
Standing eighteen feet
This creature of the heath
One to one engage, Corin the Brave
He's Here !
The tyrant warts and all, Un-human height, his sides of iron
Rage his fire, Violence his purity
See, he stands between the throne
And the Righteous Sun
Yes the Righteous Son
There can be only one
Only one
As first the Lady said, in that lustrous shrine
Veiled in mist, two alone
She prophesised
Tyrants broken cast out, Into crimson Western Sea
Corin conquered all
Restored the rightful king
So the tyrant fell
No more giants dwell
In Albion
Long and bloody was the fight, to loose the tyrant's grip
Many who were lost, today, in stone their names we celebrate
Restoring faith, restoring law
Exiled once, exiled no more
Leviathan shall kneel
We Free Our Land
The King Returns, A Brave New World
We found a land
Exiles no more
Behold the Righteous Son
We Freed a Land
We Freed Our Land
Napier's Bones are a UK band steeped in classic prog and using it as a foundation for their own take on long-form
progressive rock music.
The focus is firmly on dramatic storytelling with subjects capable of resonating with today's listeners. Music that references the past but is very much of the here and now....more
The music of John Holden never fails to amaze me.
All three albums are just wonderful.
Really looking forward to get the new one for the first time on Vinyl ❣️ Boris Stalf
