lloydd Somehow missed this release back in 2022. A stoner album at heart with strong prog tendencies. Nothing new here but it sounds fresh and different i know sounds like i'm contradicting myself. Like everything about this release. Takes me back to the seventies. Favorite track: Master of the Storm.

Solo Monk Astoundingly original & inventive stoner-prog album. This album remains impressively unpredictable yet somewhat familiar throughout its entirety, which isn't necessarily easy to do. Definitely has a classic vibe. Fantastic! Favorite track: The Wish.

I never existed I’m only in your head You have to obey me Or you’re better off dead I’m not made of matter I’m not made of clay I’m not made of substance You can’t will me away And in the dead of night you cry out wanting to escape But I can read your mind and I am not going away You can cover yourself in relics longing to be free But protection doesn’t come to those who have already bowed to me At the stroke of midnight you did summon me You lit the fire from the iron tree The recitation echoed through the land You said the spell and then I grabbed your hand And in the dead of night you cry out wanting to escape But I can read your mind and I am not going away You can cover yourself in relics longing to be free But protection doesn’t come to those who have already bowed to me And in the dead of night you cry out wanting to escape But I can read your mind and I am not going away You can cover yourself in relics longing to be free But protection doesn’t come to those who have already bowed to me

He who spins the wheel Decides the fortune of man We all face the wrath of time We seek the stone that grants one wish Time moves beyond us all Destiny looms over us If we don’t break this cycle We’ll be stuck in it forever Priestess rules us all Sent me on this futile quest On this journey I must go Deemed to break the chains of fate Luck is not on my side The wheel just keeps on spinning She has been marked by time Given into earthly desires Chariot descends down Cold dusk cloaks the hills Tower casts its shadow Don’t look now, no turning back

Been searchin' ‘cross this world For paths not crossed by man Been waitin’ all this time Now is the only chance So you found a new door This key unlocks the past You’ll call upon the lost With this spell you cast The dead, now rise Leave none behind Someone has woken me from such a shallow grave Was in eternal dream But here we are again Parts of me are shattered My soul beyond this plane Time is moving back It cannot be explained So I rise to meet my fate To protect the human race Been called upon once more To conquer the past To fill the oath I swore I must follow the path Reality's unchanged The world’s been set ablaze To some it is a game About whose side to blame So I rise to meet my fate To protect the human race Before it is too late I will clean the slate Been searchin' ‘cross this world For paths not crossed by man Been waitin’ all this time Now is the only chance The future, clear ahead Whispers of fated pain You know what must be done The dead will rise again The dead, now rise

Met a man at the worst of times Was just like me trying to make a fair living Said, Do what I do, and you’ll have what I have Come with me, I’ll be forgiving Followed him with hope of food and wine He said, You’ll be free once the moon shines But it’s been dark nights since middle July Something tells me we’ll be here a while I’ve seen a child playing in the wheat fields Looking at me with hollowed eyes Says, You’ll be free when the nightingale sings And only then will you behold the sight A hawk keeps watch at the top of the dials Says, You’ll be free when the wind changes sides But windblown trees point ever-east Something tells me we’ll be here a while

I passed through many worlds Seen lands where all had perished Where fields had turned to dust I lost all that was cherished Been searching for years Moving in a strange direction I once served the priestess Great keeper of the crystal ball Wove the tapestry of time, Used her powers to trick us all There must be a place for me Within these uncharted realms Once lived under Dark Tower I was spellbound by purple fog Powerless against the empire Treated citizens like dogs Every world I’ve traveled Has been spoiled by humanity

They put you in a casket Lowered you into the ground Returning you to sender Go back to hell where you were found The dirt will pile higher The shovels hit the earth The devil stands there waiting He knows what you are worth He says welcome home solider We’ve seen what you have done And now that you are home You will burn, you will burn There’s no where left to run And the demons gather round your grave Inspired by the mess you’ve made They grind their claws and bear their fangs Embracing a new wind of change From the gallows you were born To the dust you will return You were the master of the storm But you have a lot to learn The underworld greets you You don’t have much to say You turned against your master You knew that you would pay Your evil is immortal You thought that you could win The devil stands there waiting He knows where you have been And the demons gather round your grave Inspired by the mess you’ve made They grind their claws and bear their fangs Embracing a new wind of change From the gallows you were born To the dust you will return You were the master of the storm But you have a lot to learn

The Wish 11:40
I had you for a moment Fleeting, though it was I asked you for just one wish To leave it all behind I really need this I hope you come through Only you can break this spell To erase shadows of the past Will my wish be used for good We’ll soon be able to tell Been waiting for this all of my life You can tell, oh you can tell By the look in my eyes Will you show me the way Give me what I desire I reached out to touch you You vanished in thin air Come back to me To lift this curse I bear I really need this I hope you come through

about

"The Wish" takes the listener on a journey through a fantasy universe filled with dark magic and mysterious characters. The High Priestess rules over the inhabitants of this realm through coercion and subterfuge, but fear of her own mortality and weakness leads her to seek an even greater power.

Several tales are told throughout the album, but the primary arc is played out in three acts: In The Wheel and the Stone, the High Priestess sends an adventurer out to find an enchanted stone believed to grant wishes, which she believes will sate her desire. In Uncharted Realms, an observer with the power to travel between worlds witnesses the Priestess unleash terror across the land and its citizens as her crusade for the stone wages on. Finally, in the title track, the Priestess holds the stone in her possession - but will it truly grant her wish?
