Am heutigen Freitag k0mmt das langerwartete und mit viel Lob und Vorschusslorbeeren überschüttete Konzeptalbum „The Hallowed“ der US Metaller JAG PANZER heraus. Passend dazu wurde soeben ein Sprechblasen Comic Lyricclip zum Track `Dark Descent´ veröffentlicht.

Die Band ordnet den Song wie folgt ein:

„″Dark Descent″ can be interpreted as literal or metaphoric. In this part of the storyline, the group is descending down a cliff amongst the old city ruins. The group is also descending towards the final outcome of the story. Although at first glance it seems like a basic Heavy Metal song, those who breakdown the music will see that it is one of the most musically complex songs on the album.“

Lyrics:

These are trying times I’ve never seen us fall
Even when we find our backs against a wall
We band together whatever comes our way
Face to face and eye to eye we seize the day

Hell’s fire is a long way down
Hold tightly to the lifeline
Look to the sky affix your gaze
We will conquer what comes our way

Face the fall

Hold on tightly as if our life depends
It’s a long way down unto the very end
Step by step we crawl as if we’re on our knees
Rung by rung on this ladder of life we lead

Hell’s fire is a long way down
Hold tightly to the lifeline
Look to the sky affix your gaze
We will conquer what comes our way

Face the fall

Bones are getting weary
I can barely catch my breath
Will I find the strength to carry on?
Unto the very end?

Getting closer now I sense the goal is close
Grip of death has loosed it’s hold upon my throat
Breathing clearer now our lungs fill with hope
We will soon be free of life’s constricting rope

Hell’s fire is a long way down
Hold tightly to the lifeline
Look to the sky affix your gaze
We will conquer what comes our way
Hell’s fire is a long way down
Hold tightly to the lifeline

Face the fall
