lyrics

The ray of hope I carry with me
will be my guiding light,
to ward away the crowding shadows
that haunt my every waking hour,
and every dream.

To spread my wings and leave behind
the worries and the pain.
But when the words you said surround me,
I know that I will never be
free of your chains.

The light that I thought I saw
was just a lie!
You made me believe that the love was real,
I was a fool,
and now I am trapped!

I am a prisoner here,
caught by your words.
You tore me down and you laughed at me,
revelled in my pain,
my tears and my shame.

The words
you said
to control me and to tear my heart to
shreds
again,
leaving me to bleed at your feet.
I just want to spread my wings
and fly far away from here.

I was in love and I could not see the monster inside you.

Lying hollow and alone, a broken soul within me.

I have to set things right again and find the strength to leave you.

The ray of hope I carried with me
would be my guiding light.
I found the courage and the heart
to take my life into my own hands...
...I am free!

The Uncertain Hour
by Graveshadow

supported by 4 fans who also own “Breaking The Chains”

As I’ve matured I have learned to appreciate power metal. The sheer symphonic showmanship of the tracks I heard is totally off the charts. WaitingfortheTurningPoint

The Fall Of Salanthine
by Eternal Dream

supported by 4 fans who also own “Breaking The Chains”

Spanish Symphonic Power Metal Band Eternal Dream falls into the Operatic Female Vocals category that a lot of Euro bands employ. The music however is propelled by strong power chords and virtuoso guitar soloing not unlike Rhapsody (of Fire) & Stratovarius and similar bands of their ilk employ. Ana Moronta's vocals don't overpower the songs like so many "operatic" singers try to do in similar bands. Imagine "Phantom of the Opera" Chanteuse - Sarah Brightman fronting a power metal band.

Pareidolia (deluxe edition)
by Demon Lung

Big, lurching stoner doom from Demon Lung, “Pareidolia” is a potent collision of 400-ton riffs and searing vocals. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 10, 2018

The Sign of Faith
by IGNEA

supported by 4 fans who also own “Breaking The Chains”

A very, VERY powerful album, somewhere between symphonic/melodic/oriental rock and death metal like vocals and riffs. Incredible how many different elements are interwoven into a perfectly intriguing and highly energetic song mix! Martin R
