Two years after "Revelations", Starmonger's new fuzz-laden grooves and emotional choruses will take you on a journey across mountain peaks and smoke screens, about the futility of ambition and escaping the rat race.
"Page of Swords" is the first glimpse into Starmonger's second album, coming next winter.

LYRICS
======
You told us of heights, of power and grandeur
You showed us the rites, decks of cards and fortune
Soothed our ears craving adulation
Wizards and warlocks and emperors above the masses
“Climb up and rise towards the mountain call
At the summit lie the answers to all”
Spires of stone reach for the stars
A path of violence, of cruelty and scars
Stepping on faces for inches upwards
A cliff of glass we were taught to ascend
You fed us with lies that gave us purpose
Eyes on the prize, only fools to stop us
The wheel will turn, reward for our sins
Up on that peak is the silver lining we’re chasing
"Do not linger, you deserve so much more
Climb the mountain, you will see far beyond"
Spires of stone reach for the stars
A path of violence, treachery and scars
Stepping on faces for inches upwards
A cliff of glass we were taught to ascend
Turning away
This climb never ends
I won't bear the weight
We can't make amends on our own
Shine on
A high price to pay
To never make sense of it all
Oh, castles will fall, their towers torn down
And I long for the tides to erase it all, their pride and their thrones
Tumbling down, back to the shore
I’m not ready to fight my reflection in the mirror
