Sacred Oath - 'The End' (live at The Empress Ballroom)

There's a child staring across the water
As he sights his forgotten
Tears flow from his hideous face
The face that has lived through the hell of his race

The time is lost as he sights the moon
The music is sweet,he begins to swoon
The water is rising,washing away any evidence
Of the failures & ruins,the destruction of man

The taste of salt in his mouth
As he stares at the emptiness left in the south
His body is numb,unfeeling to this death
He dies with three sixes engraved on his breast

Now there remains only the water,
Just a fragment of sand and the blood on the altar
Has flowed through the generations of blindness
As they prayed to their symbols of peace & kindness

Το μακρινό 1987 κυκλοφορούσε το ντεμπούτο των Sacred Oath υπό τον τίτλο "A Crystal Vision". Ένδεκα χρόνια μετά η Αμερικάνικη μπάντα επανηχογράφησε τον δίσκο, πρόσθεσε ακόμη ένα τραγούδι ("The End", το οποίο πρωτακούσαμε στο demo του 1986 "Shadow Out of Time" και στο "Two Powers" που κυκλοφόρησε έναν χρόνο αργότερα) και έτοιμος ο δίσκος "A Crystal Revision" που "βγήκε" το 2005.

Το επόμενο έτος (2006) οι Sacred Oath εμφανίσθηκαν "ζωντανά" στο Empress Ballroom του Κονέκτικατ. Από εκείνη την συναυλία και η live απόδοση του τραγουδιού "The End"...
