Been listning to some Symphony X again, this time mostly 'Accolade II'
Just a great song in my opinion, very nice listning to and hear the story...
[quote=Symphony X - Accolade II]On a cold and misty night,
a ring of torches light the hallowed ground
where his father's laid to rest
In the reflection of a sword
he sees his destiny and he swears up to the sky -
"You will not have died in vain"
On the field - with sword and shield
amidst the din of dying man's wails
War is waged - and the battle will rage
until only the righteous prevail
From the shadows comes a man,
returning to his land - Winds of change
taint the sweet smell of home
And all around him, he can see
the pain and misery
this tyrant's reign is through
"I will stand and fight... Will you?"
A heart of gold pumps within his metal skin
A noble line he carries on
On the field - with sword and shield
amidst the din of dying man's wails
War is waged - and the battle will rage
until only the righteous prevail
I wish to stay...to be here with you
You were my strength...How can I go on?
On the field - with sword and shield
amidst the din of dying man's wails
War is waged - and the battle will rage
until only the righteous prevail

Ooh, Accolade II, one of my favourites. I think Symphony X continues to do what Led Zepplin did to music, which is turn it to beautiful poetry with unforgettable instrumentals. It really makes me see the diamonds among coal when I hear bands like SX, giving me hope in what seems to be a dying couple genres.
I'm listening to the power rock intro of the DOOM series, and I simply love it. I like how video-games are really evolving music-wise, and you can see this listening to the soundtracks of games like Halo and Oblivion.

Ha! You have been captivated!
Anyways, I'm listening to 'Dressed to Kill' by none other than Symphony X. It's off a really old album called The Damnation Game, and has somewhat low sound quality, but it's still an excellent song with a catchy chorus.
