RIP Mark. This song has a special meaning for me. No matter how mediocre our modern societies are, each individual can recover a sense of the numinous and noble if he/she has the imagination and will. This is an endless well of inspiration and sustenance. Thanks Mark, brother of light.
I have invested $150 into owning this masterpiece of music through the years . Must of bought the LP 3 times , CD twice , and now I have to buy it again . I still own the empty digipacks , obviously someone really likes this . Never had something disappear so many times . RIP Mark Shelton hope you are doing well
Well, I mean, bring all the epic metal bands of the era together, cirith ungol, omen, warlord, liege lord, heavy load, ironsword, etc etc etc. Manilla has to be the truest of them all
Bro. All those are great. Underrated. The first 3 albums Omen came out with, particularly, were really good. So it's really hard to decide which is better.

Is describe them like Hawkwind, Blue Öyster Cult, Rush and Iron Maiden with some kvltish similarities to Bathory and Bolt Thrower. Especially on later, heavier albums. But they're very unique.

Introduction
Under the stars
It's written in the cards,
All the myths that bards
Have sung through history.
The future's not so cold
Just trust the ways of old
Magik can save the soul
And set the spirit free.
It's not just fantasy.
1st verse
Heavenly bodies,
Astrological minds,
Seeking out the wisdom
Of the stars at night,
To snatch from the heavens
The thunderbolt of light
And then the sceptre
From the tyrant's side.
Chorus
Night after night
They shine on so bright,
All the ancient lights
Shall never fade away.
Astronomica!
The laws that bind us all
To keep us from the fall
Unto the stars we gaze
And pray.
2nd Verse
Living for the future,
Living for the night,
Living for the masters
Holy guardians of light.
Jupiter is rising
O'er the table round,
Sword of Fire and Lightning
Ancient Rites have found.
Chorus
Fight after fight
They shine on so bright
All the ancient knights
Shall never fade away
Astronomica!
The laws that bind us all
To keep us from the fall
Unto the stars we gaze
And pray.
3rd Verse
Universal wisdom
Of the Gods of old;
A conqueror's freedom
Is the danger zone.
Astronomic wasteland
Darkened and cold
Where the new born King stands
With sword of the throne.
Chorus
Night after night
They shine on so bright
All the ancient lights
Shall never fade away.
Astronomica,
The laws that bind us all
To keep us from the fall
Unto the stars we gaze
And pray.
Rest in Valhalla, Mark Shelton.
REST IN POWER SHARK THANK YOU
RIP Mark Shelton
