📓 lyrics
How many years have I done this alone now?
How many wonders have I swindled or bled from their home
While I’m so far removed from my own
There is no way to know
If I cared, and I don’t
Yonder fountain, and field of red lightning
No enchantment ornate as my own
Tread over sea, sent to seek, steal and leave
Everything withering in wake of my wave
Wind in my stride
Carries a cloud
Crimson as my eyes
It’s not that I don’t feel alive
I just feel untouched by the passing of time
All that I know is
This way to behave
Bother and burden
Won’t stop me these days
Nothing compares to
The weight of the blade
It glistens like a cascade
Gasps like a lung
Well maybe I sold myself cheap
Or should I be grateful for the journey that was thrust upon me?
It depends where it leads, where it ends
On the state of my sorcery
The way that it’s spent
Ever since Ultor, the mountain, my teacher
I’ve had a fire who yearns for release
And since the bloom, I have reason to assume
All shall wilt, never wait for those weak to the blaze
Destiny calls
Wailing like winter
Both broken, and sharp
So harden your heart
Though old, still a fool
Pray light be my guide
All that I know is
This way to behave
Empathy severed
By the hand of endeavour
With no way to measure
The weight of the blade
It listens in the darkness
It tastes as a tongue
The Mistress, she waits in the den of dawns
I dare not return, but the blade weighs so much
…well, maybe I could…
Oh to be bound by the weight of the blade
So hard to see past the weight of the blade
For every light stolen adds weight to the blade
One-hundred years of my life to the weight of the blade
All that I know is
This way to behave
Empathy severed
By the hand of endeavour
With no way to measure
The weight of the blade
It listens in the long night
It whistles a song like a
Bird, much too heavy to fly away
We’ve wedded the ground and accepted our fate
Rather than dwell on the things we’ve lost
We deal in destruction to the wonders of the world

Azure - Weight Of The Blade (Official Music Video)
Progressive Rock, Progressive Metal, Fantasy, Power Metal, Prog, Rock
I absolutely love this! Well done guys
You guys continue to be the absolute artsiest, unhinged prog rock there is and I am so here for it! Can't wait to hear the full release
Ahh so stoked for you to hear it! Honestly unhinged is a word we'd absolutely use to describe a lot of this new record hahaha!
Is anyone else wondering how they got that piano up there?
So good. Prog rock, speed metal, modern pop, and a bit of jrock influence all rolled into one amazingly talented band.
HELL YEAH THIS ONE HAS SWORDS
⚔✨
I can now say I've been an Azure fan since 951 subs, I'll come back to this comment in a few years
🐉 destiny calls, wailing like winter, both broken and sharp 🗡️
From one monster to another... I never could have done this... KILLER!!!! Love you guys!!!!
Huge love to you Jim! Big monster to monster appreciation haha! Glad you dig it!
chris really decided to make "my parents just died of the plague" fashion
Keeping it iconic despite the bubonic
this is incredible, im speechless
How the fuck does Galen even
This is totally awesome guys! Looking forward to receiving my CD. This album will put you guys on the map, and open the eyes and ears of proggers everywhere! This kills! Makes me wanna break out my zweihander! LOL😸🎸🎹🎨💪🏼
Ideal listening experience with the sword in hand haha! So stoked to get these CDs out to people!
YES YOU ALL LOOK SO COOL AND IT SOUNDS SO SICK
Sick
Sounds insane from the first listen. Love the whole song, with the bass standing out from time to time. Big big win!
Ah glad you like the track! Alex has got some super melodic bass moments on the record, absolutely stoked to be playing with him!
Magic
No way to measure the weight of this EPIC track! Massive congratulations to Azure! Perfection! WOW!
This has been getting better every listen! SO hyped for the album release!
incredible aesthetic as always
Whoa! What a gorgeous track. And those solos! Amazing all around, you all did a wonderful job on this.
Yes guys! 🙌❤️
superb.
At work but will def be jamming this in the background
Let's gooooo
What kind of wizardry is this? You guys are scary good.
OOOO one of my favourite choruses yet that’s so pretty 🔥🔥
Sounds great and fun video, looking forward to the album!
Had randomly discovered you guys a while back, then this got shoved in my face and it's like I've been brought to a whole new world of incredible, inspiring songwriting and passion - it's easy to see just how happy y'all are doing what you do, I hope to see y'all in the US someday.
(Also, just have to say you all have amazing hair)
Ah thanks so much for checking out our new stuff and for the kind words! Fingers crossed we can make it out to the US on tour some day!
International touring is logistically and financially pretty far out of reach for us at the moment, but we'll keep on working at the music until we can make it happen!
Y'all will make it there! I wholeheartedly believe it. Can't wait for Fym! (And I'll have to pick up Lu, too!)
That set is magnificent
Another cracking song and I was very pleased to hear it live at The Face Bar in Reading the other evening. Keep up the good work and look forward to the release of Fym!
Ah that Face Bar gig was a good time! Glad you caught it! Hyped for you to hear the record once it's out!
Another killer track, y'all! Love the, for lack of a better word, autumnal atmosphere of the landscapes here. Chris' nails are also fantastic....anyway, I'm really digging just how heavy this gets at times. reminds me of opeth in a great way, with the contrast between the heavy and more melodic moments..... Stunning!
-Casey
Thanks so much! So glad you're digging some of the heavier vibes on the record! Definitely have a lot of love for Opeth and that kind of music!
Wow this is incredible!
Ah dude thankyou! A friend of mine called Brian recently introduced me to that one song album you did! Absolutely wild stuff, really enjoyed it! Anyway cheers for listening and glad you dig it! -Galen
You guys are amazing! Loving this song
Ah fingers crossed we can come over and play some shows in Europe some time! Or if you're ever playing in the UK we'd be stoked to play a show together!
Absolutely loving this! 🎉
Bro. What is this guitar work. Sounds like symphonic powers metal but also folk but also speed metal but also the singer going Blind Guardian levels of epic on top?
Edit. Scratch that. Every instrument sounds enchanting. Jeezus
Edit. Subscriber no 978
Ah thanks so much for checking it out! Glad you enjoy the musical fusion on this track! Our style varies a huge amount between songs, but generally the most common through line is somewhere in-between prog rock and power metal!
So friggin good, guys!!
Absolutely incredible!
LOVE IT !!! EXCELLENT!! BRAVO!!
Appearing here with the secondary account just to give it a second like!
03:15 moment made me lose my mind!!!
Omg, spectacular. I don't want to appear patronising but i think your playing and writing has matured to a level few will match. I love this . Hearing the jazz rock influence even more. It all sounds so fluid and natural. i need to get my hands on the cd. Is this a concept album based on the book? i haven't read th ebook. May need to get a copy.
Beautiful Music
Pretending i didn't replayed that pre-chorus snippet like 60 times before the song actually release. Incredible song, the chorus is super catchy, and i was not expecting for the jazzy piano solo, loved it!
Also, i have a question. Is The Mistress Fym's mother?
Hey! Thanks so much for giving it all that time already haha!
The Mistress is not Fym's mother but good question. Fym is enticed onto her journey by the Mistress, as was Lu (from Ameotoko 1 and 2). The motives of the Mistress aren't always entirely clear to her subjects, but her many acolytes in the Den of Dawns and her command of sorcery earn her enough respect and elusiveness to remain unchallenged by those she sends on her missions!
@@azure2176 Oh i see! Thanks for the clarification, i love the mistery surrounding her. I've caught some motifs in Ameotoko II and Mistress from your self-titled song, that "Sea and Sky, Wind and Tide" chant, it kept me thinking a lot about what happened to Mistress and Lu. Sometimes i have a feeling that she's not completely evil, but definitely acting as "the end justifies the means". Probably i'm just theorizing too much...
Just one month and a few days to the album, super hyped
@@Clokkemaker Sounds like you understand her perfectly then! I really hope hearing the full record will help illuminate some more theories for you! Always so so grateful that you've poured yourself into the headspace of the lore, it means a LOT to us!
Chris
dope. fck.
LOVE THISSSSSSS❤❤❤
🙌
Subscrbing to help you guys reach 1000 subs, much love from Brazil, Rick
