	Far too long, I've wandered in vain Soaring through realms of endless starlight and flame Half man, half monster Half angel, half demon Who is the shadow stalking through these bones? [chorus] The blood of the Ancients seeps from these veins Power eternal, gods of shadow and flame While you dream, we drain your life away The essence of Sun and the essence of Moon are one Don't fight this rebirth You have been chosen to rule Now unbound, embrace the night in your hands All of the world awaits your mercy The sons of light, they tremble at your feet So this is your sign Take back the night and rise [chorus] When ashen clouds streak the sky When moonlight dances on the sea The hunters will rise from their crypts tonight [chorus]

about

After I released my second album, Angel of Greytown, I took about a year off of making my own original music to just practice and develop my skills. I had a clear idea of what I wanted the third album to sound like, but I didn't have the skills to take the next steps into a new direction. "Blood of the Ancients" is the first look into the heightened, more dramatic style I had wanted to create for years, but which I had lacked the ability to create until recently. The whole idea behind Exiled Hope as a project was for everything to sound as authentically like myself as possible, but I felt like I had hit a wall and that my skills were too limited for me to express myself in the ways I wanted to. "Blood of the Ancients" is the proud, triumphant culmination of over a year spent learning to become a more expressive, versatile, sincere artist.

Bonus cinematic/orchestral/instrumental version available when you download the full single.
