Review

From the 3rd part of a series of albums dealing with divine matters, here comes a really good song. Not only from the lyrics and their theme (glorious and “yeeeeah!”), but also from the music (how victorious drumming!), the structure (classic order and duration of each component) and the vocals (mainly from the bridges and the refrain) we understand that we are dealing with a power metal song. Not a big fun of the genre, but it really gave us some diamonds, just like this song. I like “Through Blood And Fire” and for some reason (I’m not sure which…!) it makes me feel better. I hope it does the same to you too…

Lyrics:

I am the master of this world of ours
You are the thorn in my side
I am the rock upon which you will break
Freedom or death, you decide
For in the end there is no meaning to find
Only the raging sea and I will be there at the Door

Through blood and fire, promises and lies
Through blood and fire, we rise
No more tomorrow on your side
Through blood and fire, we rise

Shatter the sky with your thunder and wrath
To honor the questions we ask
Greatness is granted to those who betray
I am the last of my kind
Heaven and hell exist inside us we've found
Drown in your "raging sea" for I will be there when you die

Through blood and fire, promises and lies
Through blood and fire, we rise
No more tomorrow, deicide
Through blood and fire, we rise

Through blood and fire, promises and lies
Through blood and fire, we rise
No more tomorrow on your side
Through blood and fire, promises and lies
Through blood and fire, we rise
No more tomorrow on your side
Through blood and fire, we rise
