AfterTime – Armored Heart (Official Music Video)

NEW ALBUM – ARCANE HORIZONS

“Armored Heart” is the fourth and final single off of Symphonic Metal storytellers’, AfterTime’s album, “Arcane Horizons”. The song tells of a journey a woman must take to retrieve the heart of her love after he is slain in battle. The heart has been encased in armor and calls out to her, guiding her through her quest. It is a story of determination and how far a person will go to preserve a piece of someone that they love.

Lyrics:

Silent is the battlefield
The enemy has crossed the hill
Beneath the moss-grown tree, he fell
His mortal wound will never heal

Taken to the final hall
Left his heart encased in steel

Over mountains and through golden fields
I’ve heard your ghostly voice, it’s carried on the wind
In my dreams I see it shining on the forest floor
I’ll reach through the dark to find the armored heart

Seasons change a thousand times
I’ll rest beneath the starlit skies
In glowing dreams, I find my way
A noble quest, I cannot stray

I’ll search through timeless
Landscapes of my dreams
To bring your memory back home

Over mountains
I’ll carry it home
Timeless landscapes
I’ve traveled them all
Noble journey
In search of the armored heart
