Like most Silent Knight songs, the lyrics often have a fantasy edge that serve as metaphors for real life scenarios. Life can often throw unexpected curveballs, forcing us to turn within and follow our unshakeable certainty to see us through... the Masterplan, some would say. As such, Full Force focusses on removing roadblocks, firing on all cylinders, our love of metal and a celebration of what we do as a band. It musically concentrates on the high energy elements of the Silent Knight sound, and was the first track written specifically with Dan’s voice in mind.
lyrics
Straight out of hell the darkness calls, the final bell begins to toll,
I’ve come to cleanse this world, no sinner shall remain,
I saw the signs of mankind’s fall, the writings written on the wall,
Deliverance, the past will soon be washed away,
When the house of cards come crashing down, unshaken to my core,
I calculate, anticipate, I’ve seen it all before,
Within this mind, a trip through time, the future it will show,
The clock hand stops, the penny drops, it’s time for you to go,
CHORUS:
Fallen angels of the night, out from the darkness taking flight,
From the ashes we’ll arise,
Like crushing steel, on wings of war, I’ll bring deliverance to your door,
Metal is my power source, I’m coming at full force,
I bring the demons of the storm,
Their voices screaming from beyond,
Surrender now or fight to live another day,
Just when it seems all strength is gone, the energy that drives me on,
An inner sanctuary showing me the way,
Archangels fly down from the sky, like prophecies foretold,
From paradise, cast down in spite into the underworld,
But I’m divine, the mastermind, true evil only knows,
And when it’s time, be sure that I’ll
unleash the final blow,
(CHORUS)
And now I’m alone it’s all coming clear to me,
The path I must walk, nothing stands in my way,
Through fire reborn, shed my wings of what used to be,
The nightmare is over, this time I can see,
the power is mine, I am finally free,
(CHORUS)
I’m taking flight, from the ashes we’ll arise,
Deliverance to your door, I’m coming at full force,

So I can't leave a long enough review to say everything I want. But I will say this, I love this EP. It's a great little follow up to times, and has just enough of a dynamic shift in sound to prove that Smoulder isn't a one trick pony with their first album's formula. This one really plays up the 70s prog aspects (DUST and Manilla Road influences definitely shine through even harder here). It's still Smoulder, don't get me wrong. Just a different side in some ways, all of which are good. playfulpooka
If Elric had a soundtrack it would be this. It's everything you want from a epic metal album. Like a hot poker in the eye, but in a good way. Scott Malthouse
