As someone born and raised along our coast it has always been a place of inspiration and introspection for me. This track addresses the whole world of feelings that haunt my spirit, looking at the infinity of the Atlantic Ocean, this place being at the same time the beginning of the world and the end of the world, where the land merges with the vast surface of water that covers the horizon before me.
Particularly beautiful here is the twilight, a red sky always haunting, a sunset that serves as a metaphor for the end of another cycle, of another civilization that passed through these lands. The civilization we all live in since we were born.
Proudly wielding the sword as a symbol of power, wearing the mask that defines my alter-ego, here I am, observing a time of decay, before the change…

Track Lyrics:
Under the fading sun i stand proud
Enthralled by this magnificence
A tinted mask, the blackest devotion
Sword of destiny in my hand

A olden spirit, incarnated
In western shores i lay
Beholding the world’s decay
Awaiting the beckoning
The fulfillment of my destiny
