Aether Realm - The Magician

[@ZachTheAudioWizard]

Lyrics: Alone on the ancient mountaintop Stood the one who had lost his way For when you walk on the path of a traitor You will find you may soon be betrayed Stray not from the path you've chosen You may yet find what you seek You will learn to command the ethereal realm And fulfill your destiny Cast out of his land for reaching for that which lies out of mortal sight Like a beast he is feared and hunted Like a beast he intends to fight Stay true to your heart young warrior Keep your sword close by your side And when night comes again beware what the darkness hides Go now to the realm of spirits child You are running out of time Seek quickly the one who will guide you Who will teach you the way of light Doubt not your resolve young wanderer May your stride be swift and true For the colors of day are fading away And tonight they will come for you No amount of work or training Can prepare you for the changing winds But don't despair my child You must fight Take hold of strength divine Shape the world to your design And release the power you keep inside your heart I am the light when a life's at its end The still burning candle when darkness descends I am desire, warmth from the fire fueling your steps when your journey began I am the fear twisting tight round your throat The life giving spark hiding deep in your soul I am your aura, hunger for honor I hold the power you seek Eeeeyuh A fire arose behind his eyes The trees, like torches, blazed up in the night The fire raced across the sky The trees like torches Like torches blazed with light And now they're on the run No mercy smite them one by one You've got an axe to grind Relentless, no one left behind Immolation is their fate Hunt them down and let them feel your hate No cowards left alive By your power they will die And now they're on the run No mercy smite them one by one You've got an axe to grind For the fire of your soul Is a terror to behold No amount of work or training Can prepare them for their flaming end But don't hold back my child They must die Take hold of strength divine Shape the world to your design And release the power you keep inside your heart

[@blinkruna]

This is a great big thank you to you good guys in Aether Realm . You not only played "Cycle" that wasn't on your setlist, but also gave me a shout out when you introduced the song. This was in Chicago a few weeks ago.My name is Jeff!! And as soon as I possibly could during your set, I crowd surfed all the way from the back and cheered you on 3 feet from and nine feet above the stage. You are one of the few reasons that make me proud to be an American. Keep it up guys!! Cheers!!

[@deusexmachine2834]

This song so motivated me... This is about a kid becomes a man. Thank, Aethers.

[@Zahrada40]

Guys. I fell in love with your music absolutely. It's complex, it's dynamic, it's clever and very well made. Being Wiccan myself, I love the occult themes of your songs too. Kudos for uploading your own stuff. I have ordered the entire discography on CDs, just waiting for their arrival.
