Strewn fragments of a promise
A spirit foundered, chafed and left to bleed
The grand naivety of Thomas;
Or a reckless test to see where all paths lead
To batter through the egg shell
We must first destroy a world
And its rustic ways to rebel
Don’t even say a word
Just come along
The footage is from the rock club Agaton at HiJazz in Uppsala, Sweden, last February. The song is called Ruins of Messolonghi.
Watch out world! We’ve got 2000 of these bad boys…

We’re busy finishing off recording for our debut album at the moment – actually Jon is picking me up in like 20 minutes to get to the studio – but here’s a little treat while you’re waiting. It’s a live mp3 from our epic ballad Ruins of Messolonghi. Enjoy!

If a new world is to be constructed, why not let this web site be the first brick? Here are a few fitting lines from our latest song ‘Still’:
“Run, my comrade, run,
Don’t argue – there’s no time
The old world’s gaining on us every day
But this is what we want
To get a fresh new start
We’re halfway there and it’s too late to stop
Carry on, carry on,
there are still many maps to burn
Carry on, carry on,
many monuments left to raze”
Cheers to new beginnings.
/Leonidas
