Time Immortal Wept, by Legendry (2024)

1.

We’ll never know, from whence he cameThe embers roll, low glowing flameBefore the Lost Gate, the Guardian to restAnd ritual magick to pass the testAnd the Talisman was lostA fleeting glimpse of peace at lastThe Tower Mount: the future pastAnd rouse the old gods from eternal restThe fate of Wizards begins your questAnd the dream of home was lost

2.

The waking dream is rushing before meForced into the voidIs the past I cannot remember The fate I have destroyed?Fading now are the worlds I have roamedAs the shadows unfoldAll around is awareness of fallingA revelation beholdA Prophecy in shadowOn the whirlwinds of timeThe Sigil StriderThe Secret SignGuided by my sword: My steel shall be trueThe foretelling restored: The wise ones always knewLive by the steel: My metal is trueThe Horror you feel, remember that only death is real for youIn a vision a shadow before me‘Neath the crumbling skyCloak of gold and visage of furyHear the warriors cryAnd at once I see it all clearThe battle raging onIn mists of time the ancients’ foretellingAs I greet the dawnChorus

3.

The Tower KeepStands no moreTo dust returnAnd lock the DoorA beacon of shadowFor a thousand yearsA veil of tormentA shroud of tearsThe Prophecy once foretoldThat our planets would alignTo make the secret signNew Towers shall be built And will all fall in timeChorusSage of the orderReveal the hidden pathAmaranthine struggleAwaken gods of wrathChorusLady in blueWith your eyes of fireKeeper of wisdomIn the realm of EyrnChorusIn shady woodsAnd peaceful streamsThe howling madnessBesieges our dreamsChorusThe portal beyondThe mirror gateTake the keyIt’s not too lateThe warlords rideYour doom doth callAnd yet our world shall never fallChorusDeep in my mind, another tower fallsThe sigil sign, behind the castle walls

4.

Nine are the stones Encircled by magickInvoking the green horror flameBound ‘neath the skullsSacrifice willingLet us greet the profaneOblivion callsDeath to the cultistsThe portal will unfold at lastChanting the spellDrawing black daggersHateful zeal unabashedSurrounded by death I arrivedA warrior of space and timeThe vortex of ruin mystifiedWhere dreaming gods dieI shall unlock the doorBarriers within my mindPortal of Faellnoch unfurledScreaming in the skyIn living forestEyes of the earthLay now upon each footfallPull of the keyDriving me onwardEnter the Stone Chamber wallsWhipping like snakesSlither and coilQuarry your unwilling preyFlash of the bladeRipping and tearingThe lost one shall guide the wayChorus

5.

6.

A vision of darknessA light in the voidClattering armamentsAnd hope is destroyedOn craggy mountainThe skeletal fistUnnamed knaveryWreathed in magick mistWarlord of FaellnochNightmare golden cladChariots of bedlamRattle the monoliths madFortress in crimsonIs stalked by the beastStrut in dominationPhantasm unleashedOccult dimensionGodless, undivineOld ones awakenedAt the edge of timeChorusIn hazy firelightHis armies amassedSavagery wildBarbaric spells castIn unlit realmThe crimson hall riseMagma and fireThe choking hot skiesChorus

7.

Beyond the cold castle wallsMalevolent crimson hallsAnd when the storyStarts to twistForgotten worldsStill existClose your eyes, you are lostAt the gate where serpents riseForest scream and demon criesAnother lost roadInto the deepWhere fiends of chaosIn shadows creepClose your eyes, you are…Lost in the Mirrors of FaellnochLost in the arcane dreamLost in the Mirrors of FaellnochLost and the oath is redeemedUndercroft of dust and boneCursed maze, the undead moanIn stony darknessReveal thy pathBearing steelAnd Eyrn wrathClose your eyes, you are…Chorus

8.

Memories of my home worldThey haunt me in flamesWith Crimson Court before meReflections in the Mirrored CageIncantation of ancient birthThe Yellow King riseFragments fail the illusionKey of gold, be my guideWhat lies beyond the mountain?What troubles each weary step?To journey on, forsakenIn halls that mystery keptIn the time beyond foreverLies chasms of worlds I leftWhen darkened shrines awakenAnd Time Immortal WeptDeceiver in the shadow realmThis throne be your tombWith promise of the cosmosWhere fate bears your doomDeeds long past are foreverLet fly the Crimson StoneAnd see beyond the mirrorInto the unknownChorusFulfill the pact of olden timesEyrn forces ride fastSwords will clash in the moonlightTo shake the crimson graspOne last stand on the Tower MountFour armies beholdAnd forth will fly the Crimson StoneTo shatter the holdChorusAnd uncertain year lay aheadWith towers built from ruin’s stoneThe portals of time are resting nowAs dreaming gods of worlds unknownWth Crimson Stone and Ancient SteelOh warrior doth your travel on?With haunted mind toward destinyUnfolding in this old Bard’s song

"...Legendry impressively show the epic metal community one thing above all: they are the true heirs of Manilla Road. No other young band is currently making music that is so quirky and self-confidently different in every respect. Time Immortal Wept is as sublime as it is fierce and unpredictable. But what is infinitely more important: the songs have so much soul that it warms your epic metal heart."
--Epic Metal Blog

"Time Immortal Wept ensorcelled me, rolling a nat 20 on Bardic Performance.... [T]he record drew me in deep to the point I spent at least a week where I couldn’t stop listening or pull away, and, when the need for variety reared its head like a vicious dragon, their back catalogue stepped in to save the day."
--Last Rites

"Time Immortal Wept is an obvious step forward for this great group, which had already demonstrated its qualities before. We are faced with a strong candidate for best epic metal album of the year...." 9/10
--Queens of Steel

"This Album boasts a lot of varied arrangements, impressive melodies, and an abundance of instrumental fantasies." 4.8/5
--Rock Hard (SK)

"You are captivated by the story that is unfolding, the music is what we would call “epic”, but I feel Legendry have a style to themselves, they may take influences from many famous names, but I can honestly say this album is their own and its rather enjoyable!" 8.5/10
--Ave Noctem

"A magical and joyous journey that blends classic Heavy Metal with progressive, psychedelic and epic elements with ease, to ensure a marvellous voyage into battle is had. From rolling pastures to bloodied blades, the medieval magnificence is archaic and yet otherworldly, blending so many key facets in a largely cohesive and exciting manner. Legendry spin a web of tales that will certainly ensnare any warrior looking for the soundtrack to their next quest."
--Nattskog

"A very successful mix of epic metal, heavy metal, and power metal with a dash of progressiveness."
--Metal.de

"In this album, LEGENDRY had a mission: to set off for a heavy metal adventure and take us with them on their journey. I think that with some marvelous guitar work from Vidarr, playful but solid rhythm section from Kicker and Arcane Hammer, well-laid sounds of hammond organ, mellotron, mandolin and various percussions, together with the colorful lyrics, they undoubtably accomplished it."
-- Forgotten Scroll

"If you are ready to take up the call, I cannot give this album anything less than my highest recommendation. Legendry have laid their steel by the hearth fire and I can only eagerly await what comes next." 9/10
-- The NWOTHM

"The other side of epic metal, with wands and spells instead of bloodied axes and shattered shields."
--Rocking.gr
