Theatre of Tragedy - Cheerful Dirge

"Hap mirthfulness! - Oh! joy of grand riddance;
Undress me my hauberk! - the wyvern hath errant'd."
"Ire of yore - bard of e'eryears -
I deem the brood hath wan'd -
Fore'ermore?!"
"Fro the chasm of the bosom, bale I hand back.
Hark! my dove - henceforth I bulwark thee! -
Feathers of swans in my pillow - I cede my heart.
Make haste! - I pray - respond my plea!"
"Lo! - a sire of great awe - a knight of
Many battles!"
"...And of kinsmen weeping for the slain!
Please! - heed my words;
In thy sorrow I will kiss thy tears -
In thy bliss I will take thee by thy hand -
The sapor of grapes thou shalt savor -
And harken the nightingale sing oh so blithely!"
"On his knees...A plea to harvest
Roses;
No heed for the thorns yon count!
Wherefore this gildéd proffer?
Wherefore not pay court to a maid
More fair? -
Morn of a joyous day! Hower 'twixt
Weed!
Fertile desert! Cheerful dirge!
Misery me not! - man nor beast; envy
Me;
Lest 'tis an act of wont!
Many are the drapes that my past
Bury -
Ineffable feeling indulgeth in battles!"
"Tisn't what thou vambrace'st thy words with!!;
I bethink dotingly only thy weal -
"Forgive me for deeming thee direfully -
Therein abdiding with thee
Yet I was a trifle daunt'd."
Is for me the grandest boon!"

[OneWithDragons]

Decent playing of instruments, annoyingly high pitched female vocals, growling...

Remind me why this album is better than Storm, again?

[Hellfire7896321]

@OneWithDragons It is a completely different genre than Storm.

[orangevertigo]

Its hard to believe that this band went to making electropop

[Hellfire7896321]

@orangevertigo Have to agree.

[DarkYamaha07]

I love them:X:X:X it's a pity they don't release anymore albums as good as the first ones...

[mikewill9511]

I believe every genre has something special. There's good pop and bad pop. This bands electropop is quite good.

[jordanianandproud]

@OneWithDragons This is Doom/Death metal, while Storm was Electronic metal - crap metal in my opinion. The songs in this album, music and lyrics wise, kick the entire Storm right in the face.

[lancasterdrummer]

@DarkYamaha07 That happens with most bands because with the first two albums the bands have nothing to lose. With a lot of bands I've found that they've become complacent by the time of the later albums. Few bands have managed to avoid complacency, that's why they are the greats of Rock/Heavy Metal.
