lyrics
The Pehliva, on a great hunt
Rode his mare to Samangan
Rostam’s steed was snared
For he awakened and Rakhsh was gone
How could he stand against the Turks
And how could he traverse the desert alone
He ventured to rid these thieves heads from their trunks
And such he swore that great oath
The power and might of Keriman
The stature of Sam, son of Neriman
The only soldier who would raise his mace
The Leopard and the Lion he was of their race
Soothed by the words of the King
Rostam was gifted with wine and song
The king’s own daughter called Tahmina would return the horse to whom it belonged
He’d leave her with an heir and entrust him with a jewel
To adorn the one who one day would rule
Chorus
The power and might of Keriman
The stature of Sam, son of Neriman
The only soldier who would raise his mace
The Leopard and the Lion he was of their race
A fight to the death that in no way could be won
For the two that combated were father and son
Such it was his son was doomed
The child of prowess that had fallen in his bloom
Sohrab had fully grown
With the strength that matched Rostam’s own
Leading an army to Zabulistan
Taking cities, castles, all in the land
Sohrab challenged his father he’d thought
Yet Rostam gave not his name, and the boy he knew not
All found the child to live up to his boasts
For days and nights fought the mightiest of the hosts
Shivering spears, turning swords to saws
Arrows, clubs, maces, weapons them all
Two matched in power, yet fate would make one no more
Rostam called for strength to defeat his foe
Beholding the jewel that lie on his breast
A father knew the one that he’d laid to rest
He made a great fire, torching all that he owned
His tent, armour, skins
The appurtenance of his throne
He came like the thunder, and vanished like the wind
Perchance it is written they would meet above again
Tossing black earth in her face
Tahmina’s own hair she tore
She burned Sohrab’s home and gave away all of his treasures to the poor
When she could bear the pain no more
Following her child, her soul went forth
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
IMHO, one of those albums that catches your attention immediately, but needs a few listens to really appreciate how great it is. Getting addicted guys, really! sachavonkarl74
So I can't leave a long enough review to say everything I want. But I will say this, I love this EP. It's a great little follow up to times, and has just enough of a dynamic shift in sound to prove that Smoulder isn't a one trick pony with their first album's formula. This one really plays up the 70s prog aspects (DUST and Manilla Road influences definitely shine through even harder here). It's still Smoulder, don't get me wrong. Just a different side in some ways, all of which are good. playfulpooka
