lyrics
I learned the ancient story,
And of the place the king did fare,
Upon his final journey,
To an isle they say somewhere,
Avalon,
The ancient spirits bore him there,
Avalon,
To the place - I don't know where,
But I will find,
Some told of an old town,
And of a hill in the West Country,
While others looked to coastlands,
And to a lake hiding in the beacons of Cymru,
In truth they all lead to one place,
The key within the one who seeks,
The veil lies thin between the worlds where you must pass,
To find where the apples grow,
In the search for the isle of mystery,
Where Arthur lies waiting,
You will pass over death - there to prove worthy,
With the king,
There to be reborn,
The search for the isle of mystery,
Where Arthur lies waiting,
You will pass over death - there to prove worthy,
With the king,
There to be reborn,
Searching on for the isle of mystery,
Searching on for the place where the apples grow,
Search alone for the isle of mystery,
There is a place by the pale moonlight,
Where he will walk by the waterside,
To return to a long-lost love,
That haunts him still,
Through all of his lives,
Now she walks beside,
Only a ghost here,
She will be made flesh on the Otherside,
There to remain,
Forever they reside,
Where the hold of decay exists no more,
And a vernal spell of spring covers all,
Open wounds are healed - blessed by the rainfall,
The rainfall,
Rejuvenate, bring life eternal,
Search for the isle of mystery,
Where Arthur lies waiting,
You will pass over death there to prove worthy,
With the king,
There to be reborn,
In search of Avalon,
In search of Avalon,
Oh finding Avalon,
Oh finding Avalon,
Now you pass to find,
The place where your soul will know,
Some day you will find,
The place where your soul will know
Albion is an archaic name for Great Britain used by classical scholars to refer to this cold and wet island. Some 2000 years
later in 2019, four young whippersnappers dug up the ancient term to use as the name for their new band.
At the foundation of this project would be the preservation and exposure of traditional folk music, but presented through the modern medium of metal and rock....more

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
