about

This is our first single recording since 2013. We wrote and recorded this song during the Covid 19 pandemic. Tracked it ourselves in our own homes and had it mixed and mastered by the reliable Jon Howard. The theme deals with the plague in Galen during the time of the Roman Empire.

FFO: Amon Amarth, Kataklysm, God Forbid and In Flames.

lyrics

The Plague of Galen

I am the plague
Spreading fear throughout the land
I am a prisoner of death
Brought down from generations before me

Silent and deadly

I am the plague
Isolation is your salvation
I am an unseen beast
Tearing away from your insides
You won't know, you wont see it coming

The senate crumbles
Fear and confusion reigns
I am the plague

Pestilence is less deadly than the behavior of mankind

Devastation
All is not well
All is dead inside
We kill the weak and suffer - strong

Together we strive
Together we die

I am the plague
