Our friend, Mike Shroat, was hanging out at Sheffield Studios with us during the recording of this song, and we asked him if he'd like to be on the record. He layed down the opening accoustic guitar interlude for us. Is there Light in Mourning? We thought so at the time...and if you follow that light...all shall be yours.
lyrics
VALIANT DAYS, WHEN I WALKED IN SHADOWS
ENDLESS TIME OF PAIN
ALONE I SEEK A SACRED SCRIPTURE
THE LOST SCROLLS OF THE PLAUGE
A DARKENED FIGURE AMIDST MY SHADOW
HA SAID "SEARCH THE LAND AND FIND THE KEY
UNLOCK THIS DOOR, TO THIS KINGDOM
AND ALL WILL BE YOURS BEYOND THE SEA"
LET THE MORUNING LIGHT GUIDE YOUR WAY
FIRE SO BRIGHT, SCORCHING FLAMES
A QUEST OF HONOR, VALIANT NAME
LET THE MOURNING LIGHT GUIDE YOUR WAY

If Elric had a soundtrack it would be this. It's everything you want from a epic metal album. Like a hot poker in the eye, but in a good way. Scott Malthouse

My favorite material from Solstice! Despite their amazing discography that lay before this that completely set the foundation, this in my opinion is where it all comes to a mighty peak. What an amazing emotional and powerful picture painted in such a short amount of time. Talon Sullivan
