You'll bear my wrath upon your lands
Your oppressed and tired shall be free
Your cities shall burn, and your gold shall be mine
Your fighters and warriors will bleed
I descend on your throne, with my mace by my side
Ishtar has bless me from on high
So call on your banners, great Lugal-Zage-Si
but in the end you'll surely die
Forward I march, my loyal at hand
Your flag will burn
Armies they flee, servants shout praise
Crown me your king, forever and ever
The Gods have chosen my rule to arise
from the waters of Euphrates
My empire grows vast, for its hundred year reign
from the Middle to the Persian seas
Pearls, Cedar, Silver and Bronze
displaying the strength of my empire
Gaze upon my glory and fly, you foes
for I wield Zababa's fire.
Conquered of lands, obey my commands (I AM SARGON)
Give love and fear, from far and from near (I AM SARGON)
Those who resist, cease and desist (I AM SARGON)
Run them aground, spill blood all around (I AM SARGON)
The son of a priestess, my birth was low
The love of a goddess, my fate was set
Kings mocked my ambition, they questioned my strength
When armies oppose me, the rivers run red
Peace I have brought to the country I've wrought (I AM SARGON)
Prosperity to all, for the great and the small (I AM SARGON)
Tribes far and wide, for my banner they ride (I AM SARGON)
Remember my name, for legend and for fame (I AM SARGON)

If Elric had a soundtrack it would be this. It's everything you want from a epic metal album. Like a hot poker in the eye, but in a good way. Scott Malthouse

So I can't leave a long enough review to say everything I want. But I will say this, I love this EP. It's a great little follow up to times, and has just enough of a dynamic shift in sound to prove that Smoulder isn't a one trick pony with their first album's formula. This one really plays up the 70s prog aspects (DUST and Manilla Road influences definitely shine through even harder here). It's still Smoulder, don't get me wrong. Just a different side in some ways, all of which are good. playfulpooka
