Die schwedische Mittelater Metal Crew APOCALYPSE ORCHESTRA plant die Veröffentlichung ihrer Nachfolgescheibe zu “The End Is Nigh”  für den 14. Februar 2025. Suf dem dem neuen Album „A Plague upon Thee“ mischen APOCALYPSE ORCHESTRA dann auch wieder folktypische Instrumente unter ihre modernen Gitarren und Drums. Für den Song mit `Glass and Sun` ist bereits ein Video erschienen.

Die Band schreibt zur Auskopplung:

“The neverending toil of the common man’s strife for his final reward. Heavenly architecture built by human hand kindling the fading soul’s fire with a promise of paradise. A myriad of otherworldly colours blinding the susceptible. ”

Lyrics:

Pain and bitter strife

Hands deep in the soil

Sentenced to a life

In this mortal coil

 

Harrowing domain

Build it to His glory

Worshiping in vain

Throughout history

 

Seeking – Striving

Searching – For hope

 

Sights to see – So splendidly

Glass and sun – Becomes one

Choirs soar – To heaven and more

Endless strife, in this life

 

All of woman born

Mournful lullabies

Feeling naught but scorn

True divine despise

 

Seeking – Striving

Searching – For hope

Seeking – Striving

Searching – For hope

 

Sights to see – So splendidly

Glass and sun – Becomes one

Choirs soar – To heaven and more

Endless strife, in this life

 

Sights to see – So splendidly

Glass and sun – Becomes one

Choirs soar – To heaven and more

Endless strife, in this life

 

Sights to see – So splendidly

Glass and sun – Becomes one

Choirs soar – To heaven and more

One more breath, until death
