about

EARLY CROSS's first release post-pandemic, debuting their new singer, Kristen Watts.
A slow-moving journey of power and pain, longing and hope, combining flavors of heavy metal, world music, and prog rock.

力と苦悩、切なる祈りと希望 ── 人類に厄災と希望をもたらしたギリシア神話のパンドラに着想を得た詞と、新シンガーKristen Wattsの透明感溢れる歌、異国情緒漂う旋律。
年代や地域、ジャンルの垣根を越えEARLY CROSSが描く、新たな旅路。

lyrics

Clementia, laetitia
Felicitas, salus
Aequitas, virtus, libertas
Felicitas, concordia
Et spes

Though the evils unleashed fly free
There is goodness still trapped in me

You'll find
Mercy deep down inside of me
Joy hiding in reach of my heart
Somewhere
Fairness, freedom, and harmony
Play a part to end our suffering

Pandora lived in loneliness
Pandora in the dark
Pandora filled with emptiness
Pandora stands ajar

Pandora, holding hope inside
Pandora, guarding light
Pandora, filling up again
Pandora stands before you

With
Mercy deep down inside of me
Worthiness a kindling spark
Somewhere
Fairness, freedom, and harmony
Tempt the fates to let humanity
Stand a chance

The choice is in our hands
To open up the vessel gifted unto Pandora
Each and every day
We make the choice throughout the ages
To leave it or to look within
I, Pandora

There's beauty still in each of us
There's virtue in the dark
Where shadows tread, the light may shine
Hope lives within Pandora

With
Mercy deep down inside of me
Peace is on the horizon
In fairness, freedom, and harmony
Lie the answers to the mystery

Though the evils unleashed fly free
There is goodness in all I see
