about

As a nerd metal band, we were happy to hear about the new The Legend of Zelda "Tears of the Kingdom" game coming May 12th. We asked our fans if they would love a Zelda metal song and what references should be in it. Receiving lots of input, we went ahead and created the song "Hero of Time" packed with memorable, funny, and nostalgic sounds and lyrics. This song will bring joy to all metal fans who love Zelda, its iconic soundtrack, orchestra, and of course the ocarina.

lyrics

Lyrics:

The world was young and still in balance
Forces worked in harmony
Greed corrupted the coherence
Left a broken trinity
Grasping for the gift of power
Evil almost had its way
Just before the final hour
It was stopped and sealed away
And yet it had a final plan
Cursing us in its defeat
His endless hate would rise again
And so the cycle will repeat

So familiar, and yet not the same
Let's add another chapter to this endless tale
Hey, listen

A heavy task bestowed upon
Seems so insurmountable
Faithful you keep pushing on
Nothing is impossible
Offer help, befriend the people
Learn the lore, connect the dots
Look in every nook and cranny
In plants and under flower pots

Salvation or demise - as ancient prophecies foretold
The missing link to put things right - the one that is our only hope

Driven by devotion
My eternal loyalty
Since time began our fates are tied
Kindred souls in destiny
Now I know where I belong
Guide my way toward the light
Restore the world with sword and song
Hearts of courage never die

The road will put you to the test
Solve a riddle find a key
A hidden door; a guarded chest
Revealing things that you will need
Gliding screen and magic mask
Boomerang and bombs to throw
A grappling hook to aid your task
And fire arrows for your bow

Raiding temples, delving dungeons - leading down to depths unknown
Better wield your sword and shield - It's dangerous to go alone

Driven by devotion
My eternal loyalty
Since time began our fates are tied
Kindred souls in destiny
Now I know where I belong
Guide my way toward the light
Restore the world with sword and song
Hearts of courage never die

You have met with a terrible fate haven't you

The face you keep under that mask; tell me does it also frown
Your time is up - just look above; the grinning moon comes crashing down
A dark man from the desert came, with flaming hair and piercing gaze
A lord magician, demon spawn, his spear is hate, his word is scorn

Feast your eyes, so much to see
Dried-out deserts, mountains high
Misty forests, deep blue sea
Sunless caves and open skies
Flying folk and trees that weep
Snappy plants and stones that walk
Mirror realms and haunted keeps
Bossy kids and fish that talk
Look at all the things you've gained
More than just mere memories
Spark the joy your heart contains
May your journey never seize

So familiar, and yet not the same
When evil is defeated, the kingdom is saved

Driven by divine devotion, sparking deathless loyalty
Through age and time, we're bound together
I hear you calling out to me
Now I know where I belong
All the shadows fade to white
Raise your voice and sing along
Hearts of courage never die
