Avrigus first came into existence in 1990. Due to Simon's role in Cruciform and the Sydney metal scene it wasn't until 1998 that the very well received EP The Final Wish was released on Warhead Records. In 2001 the album The Secret Kingdom was released on Well of Urd Records, a division of the now-defunct Hammerheart Records.
In 2007 it was announced that Judy had left the band late in the previous year. Despite this Simon is continuing on with Avrigus and a new album called "The Hidden Citadel" is in the works. It was announced in August 2009 that Avrigus' new vocalist would be Megan Robins, whose partner Lee Tassaker (bassist/vocalist for Lycanthia) would also be providing vocals on the new album.
The Final Wish and The Secret Kingdom can be downloaded from their official site via BitTorrent.
3rd Of May 2010, the band announced that they will be releasing an EP called "Beauty And Pain" as a precursor to the album "The Hidden Citadel". "Beauty And Pain" will consist of 5 tracks with a running time of approximately 30 minutes.
The Final Wish
Avrigus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As I await at the gates of hades
My saviour to come with the key
(As twilight fades at the gates of hades my saviour will come with the key)
To unleash my unspent fury
To set my demons free and to grant me just one final wish before I cease to be...
Then I to the skies shall lift mine eyes with this unspoken plea:
"I wish, I wish, with all my heart that I shall hang with thee."
The lyrics of Avrigus's song, The Final Wish, express the desperation and hopelessness of the singer. The opening line is a reference to the grim reality that the singer is facing, as they are forced to dance under a hanging tree, a symbol of death. The following lines describe the singer's belief in an after-life, where they await their savior to come with the key to unleash their unspent fury and set their demons free. The singer longs for a final wish to be granted before their inevitable death, and in desperation, they plead with the skies to grant their wish to hang with their savior.
The lyrics of the song are poignant and melancholic, with the singer expressing their final plea with fervor and intensity. The reference to the hanging tree is symbolic of death, while the gates of Hades refer to the underworld in Greek mythology. The savior symbolizes hope for the singer, with the key representing the power to unlock their potential and grant them their final wish. The song is a powerful reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of cherishing every moment.
Line by Line Meaning
If I must dance in doom and gloom in the hanging tree
If I have to suffer in despair and misery in the place of execution
As I await at the gates of hades
While I wait at the entrance of the underworld
My saviour to come with the key
My savior to arrive with the means to release me
To unleash my unspent fury
To set free my pent-up anger and bitterness
To set my demons free and to grant me just one final wish before I cease to be...
To release my inner demons and fulfill my one last desire before I die
Then I to the skies shall lift mine eyes with this unspoken plea:
Then I will look up to the heavens with this silent request:
"I wish, I wish, with all my heart that I shall hang with thee."
"I want nothing more than to die alongside you."
