In Our Palace Divine

by Vortesvin

supported by

xenomorph8472 Across the 8 tracks, a mournful yet angry tale of love, loss, hatred, scorn, madness and triumph is woven with blistering trem riffs, melodic solos, relentless drums, and a wide variety of vocal techniques. A sheer density and sense of deep narrative weighs heavily on this release, a dark and murky veil of fantasy descending upon the creative inspiration here. Favorite track: In Our Palace Divine.

IDE Old school melodic blackened melodeath!

1.	A Tragic Tale 00:16	lyrics	buy track
(NARRATOR:) In a palace so grand that it pierced the sky There lived a joyful couple, a man and a wife Their love was strong Their bond was stronger And here is the tale of what pulled them asunder
2.	In Our Palace Divine 06:27	lyrics	buy track
(NARRATOR:) “Storms could not compare To the sounds unleashed from the maiden fair For the first time in their joyful lives They stared upon the other with hateful eyes Nothing could combat The buildup of their wrath What goes up must always come back down Who would have thought? They fought and fought Until their hate was strong and their love was not They crossed the line They’re far from their prime (BOTH:) Oh, the atrocities that occur In our palace divine (NARRATOR:) Could not last another second together She left the palace Forever Flee from home Now she roams They crossed the line They’re far from their prime (BOTH:) Oh, the atrocities that occur In our palace divine (NARRATOR:) Could not last another second together She left the palace Forever Cast away From a once loving embrace (MAN:) In our palace divine Love no longer resides It’s all my fault My life has come to a halt (NARRATOR:) They crossed the line They’re far from their prime (BOTH:) Oh, the atrocities that occur In our palace divine (NARRATOR:) Could not last another second together She left the palace Forever”
3.	Until My Soul Soars 05:10	lyrics	buy track
(MAN:) Whirlwind of emotions Drives me mad Reminiscing on all the good we had Can’t think straight My mind now suffocates She left me here alone Now I’ll never leave my home (VOICES:) Lock the doors (MAN:) Ill stay here forevermore (VOICES:) Lock the doors (MAN:) I can’t take this anymore Broken Hearts and Shattered Souls Never see her anymore Filled with sadness, and rage galore Ill stay here till my soul soars Broken Hearts and Shattered Souls Never see her anymore Filled with sadness, and rage galore Ill stay here till my soul soars (VOICES:) Lock the doors (MAN:) Ill stay here forevermore (VOICES:) Lock the doors (MAN:) I can’t take this anymore Broken Hearts and Shattered Souls Never see her anymore Filled with sadness, and rage galore Ill stay here till my soul soars Broken Hearts and Shattered Souls Never see her anymore Filled with sadness, and rage galore Ill stay here till my soul soars
4.	Let Them Sneer 08:28	lyrics	buy track
(NARRATOR:) Countless years have now gone by Some of the townsfolk thought they died Rumours spread like wildfire A thousand lies now stack the pyre What had become of those joyful lovers Who could not stay apart (TOWNSFOLK:) We, the people just discover What broke their tender hearts (NARRATOR:) Some Believed they practiced sorcery Within their halls Necromancing lovers Obsession was their downfall Some had claimed they’d seen the man Kill his pretty wife Butchered, buried, put to sleep Carved up with a knife (TOWNSFOLK:) Uncertainty now reigns For the quiet house will not explain Uncertainty now reigns For the quiet house will not explain They were never seen again Could they be inside? Foul play might be involved They might not be still alive (MAN:) I can hear them Sneering from outside my walls I hear them spread their falsehoods I hear them spit their lies It doesn’t matter All that matters is now gone She was my world And yet I cast her from my sight There is nothing for me now Beyond the walls of my palace divine I shall stay inside Until I die Let them sneer, for all I care I couldn’t give a damn even if I tried I am torn, heartbroken and dead inside I know I will never be the same again Here I stay No matter what they say Until my bitter end (NARRATOR:) There he stays Destined to go insane There he lay Waiting to Decay (TOWNSFOLK:) Uncertainty now reigns For the quiet house will not explain Uncertainty now reigns For the quiet house will not explain (NARRATOR:) A man, once happy, now resides In his palace until he dies What will become of his sorry life When the walls sneer like the folks outside?
5.	The Path Towards Madness 05:19	lyrics	buy track
(MAN:) Dear God The Walls are speaking to me now Telling me to end my life While telling me to seek my wife Voices inside Screaming, raging My mind collides, With a million troubling thoughts I can’t decide On the path towards madness On the path towards insanity I’m losing my mind The voices inside Are torturing me I’m losing my mind The voices inside Are torturing me On the path towards madness On the path towards insanity I’m losing my mind The voices inside Are torturing me I’m losing my mind The voices inside Are torturing me Thoughts can be A rather dangerous entity Now they torture me Now they torture me I won’t make it very long If these voices keep singing their songs Songs of madness and hate Songs of insanity On the path towards madness On the path towards insanity I’m losing my mind The voices inside Are torturing me I’m losing my mind The voices inside Are torturing me I’m losing my mind The voices inside Are torturing me I’m losing my mind The voices inside Are torturing me
6.	Homebound 05:42	lyrics	buy track
(NARRATOR:) Far off in a distant land A woman thinks about her past Things she said while upset Things she could never forget (WOMAN:) Now I wonder how he’s been Does he still feel the same way he did? People change We don’t stay the same I wish to rekindle this love estranged I have roamed For far too long I’m called home Is our love still strong? I have roamed For far too long (NARRATOR:) Will they share a long lost embrace? Or has time doomed their fates?
7.	In Cold Blood 07:45	lyrics	buy track
(WOMAN:) I’ve arrived It seems he may be locked inside I know of a secret entrance I must try (NARRATOR:) She climbed Into the palace divine There she laid her eyes On her prize He did not recognize His paranoia made him blind He thrust his knife deep inside
8.	No Happily Ever After 00:28	lyrics	buy track
(NARRATOR:) His wife lay dead upon the ground Her lifeless corpse did make no sound This sight so morbid Caused him to snap From the vicious madness that held him back His beloved now dead before his eyes Storms could not compare to his cries No purpose now Her soul had left He thrust the knife into his chest
