"In a land of ancient prophecies and magic, torn asunder by eons of war and hardship. Our heroes venture forth, mourning the loss of their emperor king, as they search for the dark crystal to bring back balance to the realm. But in order to succeed they must survive the onslaught from the kingdom of the elves and wizards wielding foul and dark magic.
These last weeks since our album release have been one big uplifting, flattering and in many ways humbling experience. When we started out recording this album our first idea was to cast it out to the cosmos via Spotify and YouTube and maybe create vinyls for all the members in the band. Seeing all these positive (and negative, it’s amazing even just to be acknowledged) reactions from press, listeners and charts makes us beyond grateful to both the people that did all the amazing work putting this out there and the people who tossed their hard earned coins to buying this album. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you all!" - Power Paladin

Dark Crystal

We forge on ahead as we mourn
The death of the emperor king
The link that once held us in vain
Breaks with the impending rise of the elves

Far across the land of the lost
The minds of the ancients connected
The infinite crystals of old
Wait for the end of our world

As destinies of the mystics awakens now
The power of Thra will rise with the starfire

Glorious
Rise victorious
Shine euphorious
We’re in search of the dark crystal

As sleepless ones rise from the ground
The amethyst light’s shining bright
The guardians watch over this world
Heeding the infinite wisdom of podlings

Castles of ancestral vision emerge
The crystal will rise to the sky
The curse of the wizards of west
Lights up the forgotten sphere

As prophecies of the wizard’s eternal rise
The power of Thra will fall, the stars will align 

Glorious
Rise victorious
Shine euphorious
We’re in search of the dark crystal

We live by your governing hand
We fall to the depths of the sand
The cowardly elves formulate
Hiding away in their magical forests

The weapons of ancients eternal
Great hammers of the night
By light of the one we’ve uncovered
The path to the end of existence

As destinies of the mystics awakens now
The power of Thra will rise with the starfire

Glorious
Rise victorious
Shine euphorious
We’re in search of the dark crystal
In search of the shard
