Lord of the City

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

Approaching Storm

I can hear the bombs exploding,
This war has begun
Peaceful ways of life corroding,
So we’re on the run
From their distant lands they sow,
And what will grow
Is this a debt we owe?
Take your things and go
There on the horizon,
Lies the path we seek
In the never-ending darkness,
No option but to sneak
Who will fall along the journey,
We don’t know
Where to go,
From here
Far away,
We’re nearly there,
We’ll meet someday
Within the light, I find myself
Within the fight, you’ll bleed as well
Here in the dark,
You can hide you’ll be fine
Out there what was yours,
I will take for it’s mine
I wandered clear streams of blue,
And felt the wind with all beside you
This is but a dream,
For me
As fire rains from the sky,
I’ve got nothing left to go on
Is this but a dream,
For you
I reach up and touch the sky,
But it fades away,
Away, away
(The wheels of time are driven by pain, conflict and strife
The cycle of existence, devour to survive)
A wicked storm is raging,
Too late for it to end
Now they hide in silence,
Their turn to defend
Destruction we create,
A guarantee
That this moment will,
Live in history
They had us in a corner,
And they know the score
Reminder that they owe,
A crime to answer for
Maybe, maybe
Things may change,
But for now
We’ve got them,
On the run

The Trial of the King
21:10

Far above,
From every yesterday
Stars combine to light and guide the way
High in the valley
Stone paths continue beyond the rolling clouds
Now reach the kingdom at trail’s end
To lead
To love
To grow
To one day rule them all
Inherit the soil
And follow all those who came before
Now lead them, on to more
A glimpse of a moment from in between time
Of an empire gone, yet still lives on
Surviving in those who come to return
Living to see each brand new dawn
Finding their way back home

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.
