#one master

[kendertrove]

This EP recommended to me by a very kind anon!

We’re doing something a little different this time as this is a concept album, but i am here for it. One Master lends a great creepy vibe to Raistlin’s rise to power, rendering it as a horror story.

The first song, “The Dark Tower,” establishes Raistlin’s position as master of the Tower of High Sorcery in Palanthas. “Chill of the Grave” is Raistlin issuing a challenge to Takhisis, and shows his plan to rule. I especially love the last verse: “I will not rule over a dead world/The Abyss is calling for me/I will feel the chill of the grave.”

“Unholy Grimness” is Raistlin at the top of his game. Everything’s going his way, and he finally feels on top of the world. (The lines describing Nuitari as “an unnatural hole of darkness/Radiating in the night sky” make me think of a black hole. That could be something fun to explore in a fic.)

“The Test” goes back in time to show Raist’s own test at the Tower of High Sorcery in Wayreth, and developing this scheme. “Master of Past and Present” has him accepting Fistandantilus in Silvanost, and using him to become that same Master of Past and Present. The final song, “I, Magus,” shows Raistlin’s own identity, his will.

This was a great breakdown of the beginning of Raist’s storyline. I loved listening it. It’s not the style of metal i usually listen to, so it was fun to hear something different. Thanks again to the anon who brought it to my attention.

Lyrics below the cut (yes, all of them):

"The Dark Tower" The one place where evil reigns Where the guardians of the tower keep watch

The one who stared into the face of insanity Impaled at the gates of despair Calling a curse upon the mighty tower Until the master of the past and the present Shall return with power None shall pass into the accursed woods Without the seal of its master

Proud warriors shall fear its embrace Mortals who enter shall never return Void of life, awaiting my call Awaken my friend, for now I am your master Black bound tomes, cloaking secrets of the dark arts The keys to my final victory

Within the shadows of my laboratory The site of my greatest creations Life shall be called forth by the power of my magic

Untouched by the sun, blacker than the darkness The watchmen bow before me, as I plan my greatest triumph

Silence and darkness are the ones I can trust None shall disturb the master of the tower While I forge a power stronger than the gods

"Chill of the Grave" Behold dark queen of the night sky A challenger to your reign is calling I am coming for your seat in the hall

With your key and the tomes of the great one I possess the power to usurp your throne All that I need is access to the abyss I must find a soul of purity

Her blind faith in everlasting innocence And my quest for eternal creation Will open the portal in Zhaman

I must pass the test of Wind, Water, Darkness, Fire, and Blood It will bring knowledge Of emptiness and pain

I will not rule over a dead world The Abyss is calling for me I will feel the chill of the grave

"Unholy Grimness" Eternal will and strength Shaped by the darkest forge Reaching the heights of the gods I stand at the center of the world

Rising above the filth and decay My ambition is above the world I am alone on this quest Seeking none to stand by my side

Unholy grimness

It is always winter in my sight Beauty becomes death none can escape from The crushing gaze of the hourglass

Endless hunger for the knowledge of a master Filled with a darkness without dimension I control the river of time with only one goal No god can halt my powerful fury

My frail shell cloaks a deadly force The gods themselves will tremble in my presence

An unnatural hole of darkness Radiating in the night sky I will raise the hourglass I will rule unchallenged

"The Test" On the 7th day of the 7th month During the 7th minute of the 7th hour The conclave will summon my presence At the tower in the woods

To face the test of high sorcery From which many do not return Where I will gain the right To enter the private realm of magic

Accompanied by a fool Who greets his weakness with a smile I begin by entering the forbidden inn Seeking refuge from carrying the burden

Bringers of doom greet my presence I will follow their dangerous path Seeking the tomes of the war magus I am drawn to his cold grasp

Revealing his plans of triumph I plan my own ascent to the sky Using his magic to crush my enemies And resist his deadly bloodstone

Facing one final obstacle I annihilate the false one Who threatens my final victory I have been granted access to the order

"Master of the Past and Present" Once the hand the kingpriest The age of your might has passed Your cold hand seeking my heart Your bloodstone draining my life

I do not fear your deadly grasp For I will become the true master I will rise into the night sky

My body forever shattered in torment Feeling the presence of your ancient hand Guiding my future into the darkness I lie before the giant hall Broken by the power of the great orb I will call for your aid

You cannot see my future you know not I bring your doom you will answer my call My ascent to the great tower is complete

With the key from the dark queen of evil I will find the secret of the abyss In the forgotten ages of the past

You were master of the past Now you are just a frozen corpse I am now master of the past and the present

"I, Magus" My soul was forged by the blow of the hammer Finding comfort in the darkness My only true companion The power of magic pulsing within my spirit None can break its grip of fire around my heart My will for creation cannot be overcome It will bring my only moments of solace

A teacher without a true spirit But one with the discipline I will need Unworthy tormentors fuel my hatred Feeling the sting of my misanthropic fury Gods of magic I will serve you I will bring glory to your name Grant me the power that I seek Let the fire burn strong I will rise from the ashes Leaving my mark in the untouched snow The crisp winds of my eternal winter Breathe a chill of life in my soul

My soul was forged by the blow of the hammer Finding comfort in the darkness My only true companion The power of magic pulsing within my spirit None can break its grip of fire around my heart

Little Stan getting manipulated by Bill has excellent angst potential but consider.

Stanley just, keeps tricking Bill. Because Bill would definitely massively underestimate Stanley and how far he’ll go to protect Ford (like in the actual show). We also know Stanley has the street smarts between the twins and could absolutely tell Bill is full of it.

And because Bill would absolutely loose his mind if he kept getting foiled by a snot nosed eight year old that isn’t even supposed to be here

I like to think that he doesn’t even try that hard he just does not even care about bill

Catholic Manhood Nuggets - You have but one Father in heaven and one master, the Christ.

Catholic Manhood Nuggets November 5th 2023 Thirty-First Sunday in Ordinary Time Matthew 23:1-12: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/110523.cfm

You have but one Father in heaven and one master, the Christ.

Matthew 23:1-12 is a passage in the Bible that speaks about how the religious leaders of Israel preach but do not practice what they preach. The religious leaders of Israel were very proud of themselves and their teachings, but they did not live up to them. They were hypocrites and did not care about the people.

Our American culture wants us to believe that success is when we obtain material possessions or compare ourselves to be better than others. This is especially true for us as men, who have it in our DNA to be warriors and fight towards the goal line. This makes it easy to serve ourselves and make people think we are serving God.

However, the true definition of success is when opportunity meets preparation. This is when we are able to use our God-given abilities to serve others and make a difference in their lives.

God is the one who created you, who guides you, and who loves you. He is the one who will always be with you, no matter what happens in this life. You can always trust Him to be with you and to help you through everything.

You have but one Father in heaven and one master, the Christ.
