Ποιά θεμέλια υπερασπιζόμαστε και ποιό είναι το Βασίλειο που αναμένουμε ;
The foundation will be built
For a kingdom that will come
Παρά τον θαυμασμό μου και τις διθυραμβικές αναφορές μου για την μουσική του, δεν είχα ποτέ επικοινωνήσει έως τότε με τον Destroyer. Επηρεασμένος από την συζήτηση με τον αδελφό μου και με την ευκαιρία της ανασύστασης της μπάντας, αποφάσισα να του στείλω μια εγκάρδια επιστολή υποδοχής.
Βασίλειο του Ήλιου, θρησκευτική ποίηση και υψηλό Heavy Metal. Δεν απέφυγα μια απαραίτητη δόση θεατρικότητας κι άλλη μία προπαγάνδας, παρόλο που υπέγραψα την επιστολή με το καθημερινό μου όνομα.

Dear William,
I recently heard the 3 new recorded songs from my brother ( ... ) and decided to write to you after 17 years that I 'm listening to your music.
I consider your musical compositions as a serious part of my personal quest for the holy Grail and among these very few pieces of art and creation that are True and High and Beautiful.
In fact, I think that Warlord is the best epic-lyric band of all metal age and, believe me, I`m an expert in Heavy Metal music.
Furthermore, Lordian Guard held the legacy and also changed my negative opinion about metal with female vocals, mainly because of your unique way to compose and use the voice as an instrument.
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the center cannot hold;
W.B.Yeats foresees the Second Coming.
Back in 1984 I can hear Warlord narration against annihilation:
The foundation will be built
For a kingdom that will come
I hope that this time the whole audience will appreciate the excellence of your work and Warlord will take the world by storm. Anyway if this does not happen, don`t stop composing and playing the guitar.
We all know that finally, Pendragon will rise again. Your music keeps the flame burning away until Arthur returns to found again the Kingdom of Summer...
I will close my letter with a few well-suited verses, a precept to remain unchanged.
Though I consider myself a knight in the army of the Sun against Chaos and Entropy, I also admire John Milton`s Lost Archangel:
Receive thy new possessor - one who brings
A mind not to be changed by place or time.
The mind is its own place, and in itself
Can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven.
What matter where, if I be still the same
Welcome back William and beyond Christianity don`t forget Apollo and the heroes of our ancient fatherland.
True Art goes beyond religion.
Η απάντηση: Δεν μπορώ να την δημοσιεύσω χωρίς την άδεια του συγγραφέα.
Το τελευταίο LP των Warlord: Rising Οut of the Ashes (2002). Ο δημιουργός δεν ξέχασε τους ήρωες της αρχαίας μας πατρίδας.
Ο αδελφός μου: Φίλος και ομοϊδεάτης. Το όνομά του έχει μιά ξεχωριστή θέση στην λίστα ευχαριστιών του LP.
