Hello Everyone! At long last I will post my contribution to the latest Ponies at Dawn album. In this track I dive deeper into the orchestral side of things and get even more ambitious with my vocals. I hope you enjoy the music and story I have to tell!

Special thanks to Cadie for her vocal work:

lyrics:

A lovely maiden of flaxen hair
her eyes so sweet with love to spare
I know I must leave to answer the call
But still I find I must tarry

With heart we train, our strength we gain
To save both valley and homestead
We can’t turn tail, we must not fail
The battle looms on the horizon!

The bitter war comes all too soon
And as we join the front platoon
A gruesome creature stood fiendishly tall
And dared all who heard to battle

“Your bodies are weak and oh so small
You are no threat to me at all
But just to show my power and might
I challenge any one of you to battle
Should you succeed my horde will withdraw
But when you fail I will take it all
My talons will bite through armor and hide
There is no escape, your valley is mine”

The fearsome beast, he taunted us all
For none would move to answer the call
With spear in hand and rock-set jaw
I know I must cannot falter

The glint of steel, the swipe of claw
My spear deflected, I felt my fall
But in his pride he opened his side
And there I thrust my sword

The sun will rise, our enemies flee
The tide has changed, the valley set free
The deed is done, the fight is won
But now I find I must tarry

Tell my love that I am well
The claw doesn’t sting the wound isn’t sore
I cannot wait to see her again
But still I find I must tarry

Welcome home my love
You have fought, and now you’re done
now come join me where the air is sweet
and the grass is always soft
oh the grass is always soft

phew! another ambitious project finished. Right now I'm working on a fun collaboration with another vocalist, so you can expect to hear about that soon. I also may be doing another Chester Studios song too. To tell you the truth, I have a hard time listening to myself sing, but I know that I won't get better at it unless I keep doing it, so that's what I am going to do!
