about

The final track. The hardest track to record. The second to last song we wrote for the whole disc. This GOD DAMN SOLO took nearly 4 months to get done. and we did it. Watching Ant play that solo marked the end of three years of hard work, blood, sweat, and tears.

Thank you so much for reading these song descriptions and enjoying the little journey we took making this disc. After three years of work, we can honestly say we are beyond proud of this LP and cannot wait to show it to the world. Thanks!

lyrics

Hunting you down, waiting to be found
The samurai are what I must slay
Fighting for a cause to shun corrupt laws
Cutting down soldiers of clay

Treason, they say, is the price I must pay
But the action that I take is for honour
So now I can't fail for I must prevail
The silent assassin's quest for power

Fight
Sever the ties to my country
Fall
My quest to end it all
Your Life
Has no meaning to me
So raise your sword and...
Fight
On top of the tower a-tall
Fall
The massacre of marionettes
I stand
Alone in the name of justice

The contract is set, the conditions will be met
Illusions of strength will betray you
The strongholds are breached, prepare for defeat
Your armoury and cavalry I'll run through

Look in their eyes as they see their demise
The curtain reveals retribution
Dual dagger assault, cut straight through the throat
A true act of stealthy execution

Fight
Sever the ties to my country
Fall
My quest to end it all
Your Life
Has no meaning to me
So raise your sword and...
Fight
On top of the tower a-tall
Fall
The massacre of marionettes
I stand
Alone in the name of justice

The Way of Shinobi...

This album features impressive musical flexibility. Notably I am impressed by the fullness with which Kaine has grasped the concept of the heavy ballad. Christian Towalski
