The Cursed Lord An evil reigns over the moor. We can no longer see the sun. The peasants are starving, Where is their protector? Investigate, brave knights ! Very strange clues mark our way... The cursed lord What happened to him ? Let us face the darkness. The cursed lord Madness took hold of him Let's hunt him down to his lair. Wolves have taken over the forests. The grain is contaminated. The children are disappearing And the dead rise from their graves. Investigate, brave knights ! Very strange clues mark our way... The cursed lord What happened to him ? Let us face the darkness ! The cursed lord Madness took hold of him Let's hunt him down to his lair ! Your new master will be of no help to you ! We will defeat him ! Again ! How could he fall ? He who was our friend Let's hunt him down to his lair. Let's hunt him down to his lair. The cursed lord What happened to him ? Let us face the darkness ! The cursed lord Madness took hold of him Let's hunt him down to his lair ! The demons ! (They darken the sky !) The cursed lord What happened to him ? Let us face the darkness ! (Brave the darkness !) The cursed lord What happened to him ? Let's hunt him down to his lair !

The Black Dungeon See brothers and sisters, The peril we must brave, The abominations Protecting this castle ! These unnatural beings, We must defeat them ! Destroy this evil ! They are so many, And we only six, But the light is with us. And our avenging arm will do them justice, All those children whose lives were stolen. Do not falter brave knights ! We will storm the Black dungeon ! And peace will return to these lands, In the land of Ray ! In the land of Ray ! The earth will come back to life, This is our mission ! We will brave the dark To storm the black dungeon ! This land of peace will once Again become Jeanne's haven, Place of piety and joy. For next generations, Darkness will be no longer here, Forever banished. They will meet their fate ! They are so many, And we only six, But the light is with us. And our avenging arm will do them justice, All those children whose lives were stolen. Do not falter brave knights ! We will storm the Black dungeon ! And peace will return to these lands, In the land of Ray ! In the land of Ray ! The earth will come back to life, This is our mission ! We will brave the dark To storm the black dungeon ! For the time being We have failed in our duty. Evil is everywhere here And our tears won't banish it. Do not falter brave knights ! We will storm the Black dungeon ! And peace will return to these lands, In the land of Ray ! In the land of Ray ! The earth will come back to life, This is our mission ! We will brave the dark To storm the black dungeon !

Surrounded by Darkness Per divinum lumen Ferrum tueatur nos a malo Per divinum lumen Sumus Surrounded by darkness In the deepest underground of the lord of Rais We bear our arms high We are surrounded by darkness These demons are waiting for us Their masters are coming fast We are surrounded by darkness Oswlad Croll : "This is what the One says, Because the black wizards acted in vengeance with malice in their hearts. And, with ancient hostility, sought to destroy our everlasting kind !" Non nobis, Domine non nobis, sed nomini tuo da gloriam When we stand close to hellfire That we’re surrounded by darkness The breath of the widow guides our steps Lift up your hearts knights Let us resist even if we are surrounded by darkness For the light is with us Even when we are surrounded by darkness Let us send these vile demons away Their unholy presence is an affront Baron, Beelzebub, Oriens, Belial Dark fire will not avail you Arkeuid : "I will carry out now great vengeance on them and slay them in my wrath, Then, they will know thal I am the One, when I take revenge on them and their actions to bring justice !" Non nobis, Domine non nobis, sed nomini tuo da gloriam When we stand close to hellfire That we are surrounded by darkness The breath of the widow guides our steps Lift up your hearts knights Let us resist even if we are surrounded by darkness For the light is with us Even when surrounded by darkness Hadrian : "They are innumerable ! We shall fall !" Phoebus : "Not as long as the star of the day will protect us !" Selene, the Iron Queen : "The moon has passed and its fiery rays caress the stone That will bring us to victory" Oswald : "They just lack a passage to reach us !" Arkeuid : "By my will, now, Talos strikes ! Release the burning light !" Phoebus and Selene together : "It’s now time that dawn take you all, and banish you to inferno !" When we stand close to hellfire That we are surrounded by darkness The widow's breath guides our steps Lift up your hearts knights Let us resist even if we are surrounded by darkness For the light is with us Even when surrounded by darkness

The Tears of Rowena This cruel news that the winds have told me My heart is broken That oath is undone Your body now is ashes Your soul has fallen to hell Your black sins stain the earth And my soul cries Now it is my duty To make this tragedy The last of its kind O First One I failed Evil tamed him And now in hell My light won’t reach him So much darkness unfurls I'm wasting away The light is fading from this world I am one of the lasts Who honors the light And I'm fading more each day O First One I failed Evil tamed him And Now in hell My light won’t reach him O First One I failed Now he's alone The tears of Rowena Will flow forever Ah ! Ah ! What have I done ! I wasn’t there to protect him ! No ! No ! No ! The fault is mine ! I am the one who failed Me, heir of the bright light ! No ! My pride and honor has been stained I have lost definitely this fight I don’t deserve anymore To get back to my shores My life must be abhorred Rotten now is my core The flame will now consume me Hoping that you’ll be free ! Now I’m alone with my cries ! Cursed am I ! Cursed am I ! Cursed am I ! Now I should die !

about

This EP is part of a new serie of EPs undertitled "CHRONICLES" that will tell side stories and deepen the lore of the universe of Phoebus the Knight. The stories told in those EPs will be tales that happenned at other times than the main narrative arc told in the albums and our first EP.

In "The Cursed Lord", the knights of Heliopolis will fight to free the land of Rais from the horros occuring there. They will discover how Gilles de Rais fell into the abysses of dark magic, demonology and madness and they will end his malevolent actions.

Musically, it comes with the beautiful bass voice of Axel de Montalembert, heavy riffing, epic guitar solos, thundering bass, hard hitting drums and grand orchestrations as usual, but also more vocal interventions of the other knights of Heliopolis and the use of true masterpieces of classical music adapted to symphonic metal. Throughout the EP you will hear heavy versions of "A Night on the Bald Mountain" by Moussorgski, the "Dies Irae" by Mozart or even some moments inspired by some of the most beautiful pages by Bellini, Donizetti and Verdi.

Everything is there for you to go on a dark symphonic adventure to defend the good with the knights of Heliopolis in the story of "The Cursed Lord", written by Axel de Montalembert, composed by Adrien Djouadou and performed by PHOEBUS THE KNIGHT !
