Review

Princess of the Dawn deals with an interesting and popular topic. The lyrics are straight and the composition even it is not so inspiring, it is still dark and keeps its spirit. There is a characteristic monotony during the whole song and in all the parts of it, which, in my opinion, makes it unique and darker. The vocal line is classic Accept. Pay attention to the really well written solo/bridge during the last minutes of the song. You may find Princess of the Dawn a little boring, mostly because of the musical monotony, but be open minded and pay attention to this fantastic European heavy metal song, with the 80’s influences and the cult sound. Enjoy!

Lyrics:

There's rain on the mountain
A white frost on the moors
It's an epoch of eternity
Waters touch the holy shore

It's a land of mystery
The world of unseen eyes
You can feel the shadow of a princess
She waits for you inside

The guardians of God play the pawns
Beg for mercy - hail the queen
Princess of the dawn

In the war of the dragons
Young blood ran it' s course
They fell to his blade
The knight iron horse

A forgotten priest
Disappearing in the haze
A chamber of vestal virgins
Twilight is her slave

The wizard of oz moved the pawns
Life for satan - dust to dust
Princess of the dawn

On the day of the testament
The seventh moon was raging fire
Heaven cried for the sacrifice
The midnight sun was rising higher

The beauty and the beast
Lies in her royal crypt
Her kiss is bitter sweet
Death upon her lips

The holy grail held the pawns
Kings and bishops bow to grace
Princess of the dawn

A new day dawns for heaven and earth
A first sunbeam is killing the night
Once upon a time for ever more
The gloom with the spirit of that lady in white

Princess - princess - princess of the dawn
