about

I figured it had been a while since I did a half concept album (a'la 2112), and began writing a suite of stories about a certain warrior lady from my comics.
Early recording was a little fraught owing to technical difficulties, but it was also the first track since 2015 to use the Cheetah MS6 which had been lying on my workbench for several years awaiting repair. In my opinion it was well worth fixing.
The writing for the song produced a lot of extra material which immediately went into Part 2.

lyrics

Illiath Part I – The Quest

Her sword was sharp, her armour polished bright
Her eyes were blue and blazed with inner light
The townsfolk wondered where and whence she came
The heads of several demons to her name

Illiath the brave, Illiath the free
Illiath the famed wandering mercenary

Possessed of wisdom far beyond her years,
One slip and everything would end in tears
She knew exactly what the town would do
If they found out she was a demon too

Illiath the brave, Illiath the free
Illiath the famed wandering mercenary

There was a murderer who killed his wife
The town hired Illiath to end his life

There was a monster in a nearby cave
Sent several townsfolk to an early grave
The people begged and offered gold in store
If Illiath could make them safe once more

Illiath the brave, Illiath the free
Illiath the famed wandering mercenary
