Music and lyrics written by Joe Rubio and Steve Chait

lyrics

Went to seek my fortune,
Like legends of old

Bought myself an army,
With my plundered gold

This will bring us peace one day,
Don’t you understand

Commanded armies,
Make their final stand


All who fear the headsman’s blade,
Heed my order

Call out the horse brigade,
And give no quarter

Stand atop the castle walls,
Raining fire

My stalwart banner flies,
A new empire


Away from here,
Take me

A new frontier,
To make free


Another town will fall today,
Left in smoldering decay,

How long will our freedom stand?
If you are lord of all the land?


All who fear the headsman’s blade,
Seal the border

To those who run away,
I give no quarter

Charge towards the foeman’s lines,
Charge to glory

Your sacrifice will live,
In song and story


Lord of the city,
I rule them all

End the committee,
Supreme reign, of peace

Words of roads to go on,
Promises

Cloaks and daggers,
Time will tell if I will live or die


The final battle has been won,
But your wars are never done

Loyalty is not a fact
A lord must always watch his back

about

Chromatic Aberration Cleveland, Ohio

A shared love of prog rock (especially Rush!) and Ultimate brought us together.

We played in a band for a few years (2014-2016) in California before I moved cross country for work in 2017.

Before leaving, we created some demos, but I knew we'd have to get back together someday to do them justice.

Reuniting in 2020, 'The Trial of the King' is that result.

- Joe
