Sven B. Schreiber (sbs) This album is work in progress. As the band shared in its news feed on facebook some time ago, they work slowly, but steadily on this magnum opus, and it's unknown whether it will be finished in 2017, 2018, or 2028. Well, 2017 and 2018 are history by now, so let's see what happens in the next 10 years... whatever, the first three tracks are superb, especially the 10-minute song "Mister Gold" is the kind of epic I really like - long, but not long-winded, opulent, but not excessive. Favorite track: Mister Gold - Act I (2017).

Nobleman I was born a no one Son of the bastard son of a nobleman. Poor, someone the Court would ignore, So I joined the war Against the Moor, A training ground for me, the first Conquistador. At my uncle's side when Granada fell, Here I met Columbus the Genovese Who would sail west to go east. Spain was victorious. Queen Isabel declared at last "young gentlemen, head west" I strove with all my being and will To fill my purse and the inner void I feel.

Un vaso a beber, la música sienta bien Y mientras haya alcohol y mis hombres se mantengan en pie. Viento en popa o de través y surcaremos mares que están aún por ver. No importa si tardamos, si navegamos juntos nada hay que temer. Coged los yelmos y el vino también. Pagad la deuda y zarpemos al amanecer. Soltad amarras, ya no hay vuelta atrás. Comienza nuestra empresa, en ultramar.

Hey! Mr.Gold I see your moving island on the sea Far below my spread wings    Oh Mr. Gold On deck you stand in armor glistening Uncharted worlds are beckoning, promising Oooh, Mr. Gold, Mr. Gold Mr. Island Yeah, Mr. Gold, You’re a man of great ambition You made your decision to sail to the west where your options are the best Mr. Machine Your metal plating, your armor gleams to realize your childhood dream Of wealth and power. INSTRUMENTAL BREAK [Juan Ponce thinks out loud] Hey! Mr. Bird I can see the white sheen of your wings as you play across the whitecaps’ billowing Oh, Mr. Bird Your home across the horizon is the promised land I’ve had my eyes on Aa-aah Mr. Bird, Mr. Bird Mr. Seagull Yeah, Mr. Bird, you inspire our expedition you seal the faith in our premonition to sail to the west Where we’ll explore and conquer Now, my King and Queen, I claim this land in your names for your glory

THE OLD MAN´S TALE The old man who crossed the sea Told me tales about a golden reef Behind his tales, I saw a dream Which called me with high intensity Stranger place that must be found Mercy and glory for the man  Who can conquer this magic hidden land? Taming this brutality This old man´s tale struck with me It's time to plant my flag beyond the sea. Island dressed in jungle green Surrounded by a sandy golden ring Freshwater falls, specks of gold Fruit and root, enough for all Enough to send tribute to my king who granted this opportunity

The battle of the 42 Beyond the wood Hidden behind the bush Lies the dark It´s time to see
to see how the angles fall
 In the battle of the 42
 Its time to prove to prove my soldier´s worth In the land of a magic god I can see their shadows I can hear them whispering. Words that nobody understands That increase my army fears. my army fears!!!!! My enemy is here!!!!!!!!

Dreamland for his salvation(redemption) Liquid life that flows to him The mystic place that no-one knows Fountain of the youth. Indian tales or maybe true

In the darkest ages of time In the darkest ages, I can't use my sword I take off my shiny armor and I look for something more. All this magic makes me doubt about my lord, Should that potion make me live for long And behind this palm tree, I can see the truth but they really don´t surprise me cause I'm on the mood And I think that I mustn't use my power against you I want to know your secrets I want to know it soon Knick knock Vanity I can´t believe my eyes The ritual is going to start The mothers of creation Cooking in front of my eyes. Mysteries of the wild Burning in the fire Feeding my addictions Clearing my mind I always thought the sun rises beyond the land but now behind the curtains, I see my future shine I will fly like a bird pretending touch the skies With this magic, I will never die yes I´ll never die One step ahead And two or three steps back But always going forward All I´ve done was hard All the efforts made In this remote land Now let me see the treasure I can touch it with my hands I will fly like a bird pretending touch the skies With this magic, I will never die yes I´ll never die And behind this palm tree, I can see the truth but they really don´t surprise me Cause I'm on the mood And I think that I mustn't use my power against you I want to know your secrets I want to know it soon

Aqua aeternam

The legend of this magic wonderland. Wasn't so grateful for this man. And even when he tried to do his best. Nothing he could get in return. Now being alone collecting parts of my broken heart. Just after my death, My Lord could clearly understand. I must go ahead but It´s not easy to forget. Every single breath of my damaged lungs will fade away. Say goodbye to my silver horse, I have to go. Tell if you can see the things I´ve done around this world. Now in this wooden house, I shed my helmet and my soul. Just after my death, My Lord could clearly understand. Say goodbye to my silver horse, I have to go. Tell if you can see the things I´ve done around this world. Now in this wooden house, I shed my helmet and my soul. Just after my death, My Lord could clearly understand. Say goodbye. Say goodbye. Say goodbye.
