about

From LT: This song took a while to think about. How do you do the last song of the last album of a band you’ve been in for sixteen years? I really wanted to try and capture the history of it all, so I struck on the idea of building it around song titles and lines from our entire back catalogue. The main triplet riff was actually based on one of Stu’s (guitar) leftover ideas from “One Step Beyond” and it seemed to be a good fit for what I was trying to do. The song eventually turned into a ten minute long epic with all of the changes, bass solos, even keyboard solos that really channelled a lot of the progressive moments of our earlier releases.

The end of the song has a bit of an Easter egg in that the Latin being sung suggests that not everything will die, and the world “LORD” in there. It ends on a grave being dug and last rites being performed and then fades out on a thunder clap. Where that’s cool is I’d already come up with the idea for the opening track of “Ascendence” which began with this ending, but rather than fading out, it continued on to where you hear something clawing at the inside of a coffin and then bursting out with a roar. Very symbolic of the transition from Dungeon to LORD and really joined both eras together.

lyrics

Born in a barren desert
Walked on the burning sands
Said don't look back and so we ran

And as our moods were changing
Journey to distant lands
The demolition time began

PRE-CHORUS 1:
Oh, a destiny of power
Invincible, forever we survive

CHORUS 1:
Climbing up the mountain
And we're reaching for the sky
Feeling the hunger burn, it's do or die
Go one step beyond
To try and reach the other side
On the horizons edge
The final chapter will arise

And as we ride the stormwind
Deny there's no way out
The resurrection time is now

And in our rise to power
Higher we dare to go
One step beyond the land we know

PRE-CHORUS 2:
Oh, and some of us may falter
But nothing can destroy our will inside

CHORUS 2:
Climbing up the mountain
And we're reaching for the sky
Feeling the hunger and it's do or die
Go one step beyond
To try and reach the other side
On the horizons edge
The final chapter is in sight

SOLO: LT

There's no turning back
As we travel on
And the lessons learned
There's no fairy tales
Oh no....

SOLO: LT

CHORUS 3:
Standing on the mountain
And we're reaching for the sky
Just beyond our reach, we wonder why
See the world so clearly now
We've reached the other side
The future clear at last
The final chapter has arrived

CHORUS 4:
Diving from the mountain
And we're falling through the sky
Finding a greater truth, another life
Like a phoenix rising up
In flames it's time to die
All past is laid to rest
The final chapter realised
