about

Third track on Of Gods And Men
a prophecy is foretold

lyrics

Exalted souls we now extoll
Are banded into one

Tell me Greadon
 of my next charge
For I feel my task is not yet done

How wise i see you are
My arisen avatar
But first and explanation
Must be given

A rapacious lust did break a trust
And turn a truce to blood
So crushed is a once balanced power
And i fear it has not just begun

So these lives of those before you
Which have now been torn apart
Must learn these mystic magiks
And be taught these ancient arts

Confusion
I can not see
What you ask of me
Disillusion

How am I to show
So many fallen souls
What would take a lifetime to learn
This task that you now ask
To teach them through this glass could leave them
Dead and their souls be left to burn
Fear not ‘oh chosen great one
For learned they shall be
And your words will be reflections
Of things once said by me

Listen listen as the mirror calls
Show show them all these miracles
Knowledge knowledge gained through past reflections
Crush crush all those with evil intentions

The mirror calls

My misbegotten people
For war we must prepare
And this veil of black before you
I shall lift do not despair


Through this mirror's glass
See futures through our past

And with these new learned arts

Burn their souls to blackened ash

Follow me young fallen fledglings
Glean these arts of time since past
All our eyes upon the mirror

"Rise again” our god now asks

Listen, listen as the mirror calls
Show, show them all these miracles
Knowledge, knowledge gained through past reflections
Crush, crush all those with evil intentions

Engage the battle
Before it is too late
With bravery and courage
Shake this hand of fate

Broadened now
Our once closed minds
And seeing things
We could not find
An admiration of life and sense of hope
And yet a willingness to use the gallows rope
To condemn those who have
Now done thee wrong
And to deal justice which
Has been avoided far too long

The brave of brave 
i have now gave
These arts of eons past
Wails of woe have now been cried
For those of you who did not last
The forgotten ways
Of forgotten days
Have since found a new life
Within those with new insight

The last of this new formed army
Have been shown the ways of past
Each enlightened their own being
And arose armies from ash
Take the mirrors teachings
Of sword and spell and heart
And take yours foes most cruel self
And rip and tear apart

about

MaelstroM Long Beach, New York

"It was Predestined" is heavy, all encompassing, and musically exquisite.
BLABBERMOUTH- Scott Alisoglu

Fusing a dizzying array of styles – death, power, thrash and prog-metal – with cinematic elements, jaw-dropping musicality and Gary Vosganian’s eccentric, staccato vocals, cult New York band Maelstrom present something thunderously unique.
