Their first demo was titled "Sword, Shields and Crown". It did not meet with much success, but after a year of work their second demo, "Perpetual Glory", finally began receiving attention. They are then picked up by Scarlet Records, a big company from Milan: after a troubled period their debut, "The Lasting Power", breaks through with the Thy Majestie name. It's a real success, though they are mostly appreciated outside of Italy.

They recorded a new demo, putting two new songs online to spread their new work.

In January 2002, Thomas Youngblood called on Thy Majestie for a support tour for the group Kamelot, but because of their new album, they were unable to accept the invitation. "The Lasting Power" was released in 2000, "Hastings 1066" was released in 2002, followed by "Jeanne d'Arc" in 2005.

Time To Die
Thy Majestie Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

"I'm trapped among these walls
The anguish fills my soul
Faithful to my king awaiting to make me free..."

Feeling an awful sorrow
She was wondering 'bout the signs
And she whispered and she prayed for their coming forth,
Desperate, humiliated, threatened by her doom

"I am left at the mercy of fate
Forsaken by everyone
Please my Lord,
Pray hear my words for I am in your hands...

And light my path and tell me what to do
Save me, I shall wait for your Signs
'cause the time is runnin' out,
And I fear my fate...

Now I remember my life
It is night, the time to die

And I wait, the end will come
'cause my fate's already done..."
