Frozen Winds of Thyraxia
Wizardthrone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A frozen world is wreathed in storm
Obsidian monoliths are piercing the sky
Silent we dwell
In eternal ice-bound slumber
While Katabatic winds are raging ever on
Aeons ago
Twin suns would cast their warming light
A verdant plain
Bastion of technology
But ancient gods
Care not for realms of mortal man
The cataclysm
Consumed the stars
Frozen in time, encased in the ice
Behold the majesty of
Mystical spires, towering high
Ancestral realm of glory
Frozen in time, encased in the ice
No longer spires will gleam
War in the sky, Thyraxia dies
Now frozen winds will blow eternal
And as I traverse the cyclopean halls of my celestial forefathers
I feel the elder sorceries of the ancient throne of wizards crackling around me
What splendid thaumaturgical marvels once filled the chambers of this frozen fortress?
Soon trans-dimensional elucidation will be mine...
Wielding the crystal
I venture to the hyperspatial chamber
Wherein the nano-quantum astrolabe resides
My destiny is calling
To revive the time-lost planet
I must reignite the astral flames of the long extinguished twin stars
LEADS: XAVICULUS, HYPERIAX, ARCHISTRATEGOSHYPERIAX
Frozen in time, encased in the ice
Behold the majesty
Of mystical spires, towering high
Ancestral realm of glory
Frozen in time, encased in the ice
Once more these spires will gleam
Stellar rebirth, the crystal entwined
Mighty Thyraxia arise!
Our time has come
Enthroned beneath the twin suns
The resurgence of the Wizardthrone
"
The lyrics of Wizardthrone's "Frozen Winds of Thyraxia" paint a richly imagined picture of a frozen world beyond the stars, wreathed in storms and dominated by obsidian monoliths that pierce the sky. Silent residents of this world, the ancient gods seem to be indifferent to the fate of mortal man, as the pristine verdant plain, once the bastion of technology, now lies frozen in time, encased in ice. The catastrophe that consumed the twin suns aeons ago has left the ancestral realm of glory of Thyraxia ravaged, spires no longer gleam, and war in the sky has sealed its fate. Yet, the singer of the song sees potential in reviving the long-lost planet, using elder sorceries and the crystal to reignite the astral flames of the twin stars, and ushering in the resurgence of Wizardthrone.
The imagery and language of the lyrics in "Frozen Winds of Thyraxia" draw heavily from the traditions of science fiction and fantasy, invoking themes of ancient mythical powers, cosmic forces, and interstellar travel. At the same time, it also explores cosmological themes such as the ultimate fate of a universe, the struggle between time and memory, and the hubris of mortals. The incorporation of these ideas into the lyrics of a metal song attests to the creativity of the band in crafting a unique genre-bending work.

Beyond the stars
Far beyond our world
A frozen world is wreathed in storm
A planet covered in ice and battling severe weather
Obsidian monoliths are piercing the sky
Tall and sharp structures made of black rock reaching towards the heavens
Silent we dwell
We live here in quiet solitude
In eternal ice-bound slumber
Frozen in time and asleep forever
While Katabatic winds are raging ever on
Fierce and powerful winds that never stop
Aeons ago
Many ages in the past
Twin suns would cast their warming light
Two stars would shine down and provide heat
A verdant plain
A lush grassy area
Bastion of technology
A hub of advanced scientific and engineering pursuits
But ancient gods
Powerful deities from long ago
Care not for realms of mortal man
Do not concern themselves with human affairs
The cataclysm
A great disaster
Consumed the stars
Destroyed the two shining suns
Frozen in time, encased in the ice
Preserved in the frozen landscape
Behold the majesty of
Look upon the magnificent sight of
Mystical spires, towering high
Tall towers with a magical quality
Ancestral realm of glory
A place of tremendous importance to our heritage
No longer spires will gleam
The towers are no longer shining and radiant
War in the sky, Thyraxia dies
A conflict in the heavens led to the downfall of Thyraxia
Now frozen winds will blow eternal
The icy winds will continue to rage forevermore
And as I traverse the cyclopean halls of my celestial forefathers
As I wander through the colossal halls of my godly ancestors
I feel the elder sorceries of the ancient throne of wizards crackling around me
I sense the power of old spells from the wizard's throne pulsing through me
What splendid thaumaturgical marvels once filled the chambers of this frozen fortress?
What incredible magical wonders were once housed within these icy walls?
Soon trans-dimensional elucidation will be mine...
I will soon understand the mysteries of other dimensions...
Wielding the crystal
Holding onto a crystal for power
I venture to the hyperspatial chamber
I journey towards a space where hyperdimensional travel is possible
Wherein the nano-quantum astrolabe resides
Where a tiny, precise instrument for studying the stars can be found
My destiny is calling
My future is urging me forward
To revive the time-lost planet
To bring back a world lost in time
I must reignite the astral flames of the long extinguished twin stars
I need to rekindle the flames of the two dead stars
Frozen in time, encased in the ice
Preserved in the frozen landscape
Behold the majesty
Look upon the magnificent sight of
Of mystical spires, towering high
Tall towers with a magical quality
Once more these spires will gleam
The towers will shine with radiance again
Stellar rebirth, the crystal entwined
The stars will be reborn, through the power of the crystal
Mighty Thyraxia arise!
Let the great planet of Thyraxia rise up once again, with full power!
Our time has come
It is now our moment to shine
Enthroned beneath the twin suns
Ruling beneath the two radiant stars
The resurgence of the Wizardthrone
The great and triumphant return of our wizardly reign

Whenever you're sad, just remember you managed to exist at the same time as Christopher Bowes.
@desmondkenway4952
Probably one of the few things keeping me going tbh.
Not only do we exist at the same time as him, we also get to live the fact that he’s only 34. I can’t even begin to imagine how many bands he’s going to have been a part of by the time he retires.
