Brilliant. Hansi creates a damn novel with his well thought out lyrics and killer vocal melodies. To my ears this is the Jon Schaffer's most consistent work since Dark Saga - Something Wicked.
@Revan12345678 The very first "on and on this is my way" sounds VERY much like hotel california, yea :) Was actually the first thing I thought aswell the first time I heard this song :p
I've never read the dark tower books, but i have read lord of the rings and imo this song is about lord of the rings. ive looked around and most of the clues can lead to either series, so its hard to tell
@JaceArveduin There are a lot of comparisons between LoTRs and DT, but the album itself, most of the songs are tributes to DT. Seize the Day is about Roland's Ka-Tet and the journey to the Dark Tower.. Although it does seem to somewhat fit LoTR too
Schaffer is actually IE's rhythm, not lead, but he might as well start calling himself lead. his riffs stand out much more than the "lead"s riffs, if you even want to call it that. at least they do in IE, I dunno about D&W. but yeah, schaffer is rhythm usually, not lead unless the album/single doesn't have a lead
maybe a little off topic, but with some luck im finally gonna see Blind guardian live here in sweden!!!! anyway hansi is one of my favorite vocalists. \m/
I was under the impression that this whole album's based on The Dark Tower series of books by Steven King (books start with The Gunslinger). The songs are all relevant to them-he sings about Blain in Terror Train, sings about the Wicked Witch, The Gunslinger aswell as the Crimson King, it fits the Dark Tower series perfectly. I was also told this by a friend who knows a lot more about this band than I do. Awesome books by the way-epic journey, very easy to get into & I highly recommend them. :-)
That is true, every song on the album (with a couple of exceptions like Immigrant Song) is based on the Dark Tower series. And both the band and the series are amazing!
It's not only based on The Dark tower it's also based on The Lord of the Rings. The road goes on and on is a well known quote from LOTR and the western shore could refer to Frodo leaving from the western shore or Roland reaching the western shore. Also the fires of doom could refer to Mount Doom and the Tower well King's Dark Tower with it's eye of the crimson king is already heavily based off of the tower baradur and the eye of Sauron. Thus this song is about either Frodo or Rolands journey.

This song is actually attributed to "Lord of the Rings". Only 3 songs of this album are attributed to "The Dark Tower" series.
