Gods of old, overseers of two kings’ hearts Gods who they both call to They observe, and send whispers away, a call to arms and that it’s the only way Keeping at bay the turmoil that would follow with peace Tirelessly they carry on, for the kings must keep fighting for seasons to come and go Subsistence is the reason, fragile are its terms And so, the wheel must keep turning Heartless as it may all seem It’s a balance which must not be disturbed A change of rules is not in their hands to do They, too, are bound by laws They play their part, like the kings in this universe, bringing war and comforts when one hurts After one has fallen, they hearten his wounded soul Telling him he must rise again For the kings must keep fighting for seasons to come and go Subsistence is the reason, fragile are its terms and so, the wheel must keep turning Heartless as it may all seem It’s a balance which It’s a balance which must not be disturbed

about

The single “The Old Gods - Requiem” will be released on the 23rd of February—the anniversary of Equinox—together with a music video.

Vocalist Lisa explains how the requiem version of the song differentiates from the album version: “We wanted the EP versions to be something new and original, and not simply the same song with acoustic guitars. While the original song is fast and energetic, the lyrics tell a despairing story of never ending suffering, and thus, we felt that a ballad was the perfect fit for The Old Gods. The result is a solemn and mournful, yet beautiful, retelling.“
