Epilogue - All Along the Riff Tour

from Litho​-​R​â​les by Lampray

lyrics

Heave Ho! Heave Ho!

Let me tell you the tale
Of a place of thousand feats
Where the hearts fueled with ale
Make the arms dig the beat

I will guide you down these halls
Where the best miners of the world
Drill the finest ore of all
Far, far greater than gold

You're not paid to sing,
You're paid to guide the tourists,
So get back to work!

All right, so…
We'll start at the end
Do try and follow me
Please, be careful, mind your steps
Don't you touch anything

The artists at their benches
Give the crucial final touch
To a brand new masterpiece
For our glory

Here, they carve the Name of our Lord
They etch until the last imperfections
They sand it to be smooth to the ear
They shine it so it enlightens the world

For the glory of our King!
He wants us to drink!
We drink so we fight!
We only fight to make the best beats in the hall of the Dhûgud-Dum King

Now can you feel the heat
You'd swear it's coming from hell
Hear this deafening roar
Ringing the anvil as a bell

They melt down the raw beats
In the furnaces down below
The Balrog is no more
Chased away by the row

Here, goods are displayed, for all to buy,
At a fair price, so do not fear,
The fame of their work is no lie,
See the crowd…

On the next stage lies the magic:
A hint of tragedy with a dash of epic
Lych, Dragons, chosen one and whatnots
All stirred together in Campbell's pot

They intertwine the fates
As they weave the melodies
So outside these gates
People sing for the glory of our King

He wants us to drink!
We drink so we fight!
We only fight to make the best beats in the hall of the Dhûgud-Dum King

You thought that up there was hot
But now don't you feel like
We have entered a dragon's maw?

Our Lord has conquered fire
So now we follow the rule
That was decreed under His law

Forget what you saw
Didn't mean to take you there
They are a weird bunch
It could have been dangerous

All these experiments
Mean to challenge the limits
Of the creation of beats
For… glory

Now the tour is almost done,
I'hope you've enjoyed it
Please do not forget your guide,
Don't hesitate to tip
But, before we part ways
I will treat you to a beer
In the name of our King!

He wants us to drink!
We drink so we fight!
We only fight to make the best beats in the hall of the Dhûgud-Dum King

Glory…
For the glory of our King!

Lampray Lyon, France

Lampray is a progressive metal band from Lyon, France. Composed of bored people whose main goal was to kill time, the band ended up having a bit too much fun with what started as a hobby and an excuse to learn new things.
The (accidental?) result of this is two self-produced & self-recorded concept albums rooted in science and geek culture, telling stories related to the oceans and their depths. ... more
