(Year 33. Excerpts from a statement that Tiberius, Emperor of Rome, sent to Pontius Pilate, Prosecutor of the Empire, in Jerusalem…)
... Three days after his death
They found an empty tomb...
Alive? Resurrected???
How could this be true???
(Pilate, lost in his thoughts, while reading the statement):
“... If he has survived
Well, where is he???
And who’s behind this resurrection???...
... He will rise...
And blood will spill...
He’ll lead the people to rebellion...”
... Upon the crooss, he did not die...
... There was a conspiracy to save his life...
Chorus: He’s the one who has chosen
To bring power to the people
Revolution, sacrifice; an endless light
The Spectre has returned...
(Quite nervous and confused, Pilate wrote back to the Emperor in order to reassure him, as well as himself, that he was doing his best to keep everything under control)...
(Choir) : TRUTH IS BEYOND
“... He holds a power his death has increased...”
(Choir): WORDS OF WISDOM
“... Controversy...”
(Choir): TRUTH IS BEYOND
“... The people have a desperate need to believe...”
(Choir): WORDS OF WISDOM
“... The spectre’s come to set them free...”
Chorus: He’s the one who has chosen
To bring power to the people
Revolution, sacrifice; an endless light
The Spectre has returned...
It's a great blend of different metal genres and styles, with great solos in basically every song, just that touch of oriental influences that feel natural but not artificial and above all else, performed by the beautiful, haunting voice of Jelena Dobric, who uses it in a way that is not the typical operatic approach as we are used to from other female-fronted bands wormys_queue
