The Adventures of the King is a concept album. It tells a story throughout the album, about a corrupted King confronted with an artist that says out loud what everybody thinks. It has analogies with the modern world, and it covers different topics such as corruption of authorities (The Adventures of the King), people that abuse the system to get their own personal benefits (Just the same), escaping in the King's authority by travelling in imaginary worlds (The other side), Trying to find the truth in a world that encourages lies (A thousand years, Across the land), politician's lies (Promises) and more…

Phoenixeye - The Adventures of the King

The Adventures of the King
download sample - (373k) (127k)


An evil King is ruling and controlling the people. Some artists and musicians eventually dare to point out his evil ways to the world, but they are punished for it by losing their freedom.

Just the Same

Some people decide to take advantage of the King by faking health problems so they can stop working. Look out my friends, the disease is spreading!

The Other Side

This is a song about travelling between parallel worlds. The real world and the world of dreams. Which could be two sides of the same reality. Which one is real and which one is a dream? You decide. As long as you escape the King’s authority.

 

Contrasts

The title comes from the fact that it’s contrasting with the rest of the songs. But beware, the King doesn’t like it when it’s too different!

A Thousand Years

This song is about finding oneself, which is harder and harder with all the corruption and hypocrisy going on at the royal court.

What the aspiring leaders will tell you to get elected, to get your blind faith and trust!

A second one made of contrasts. It explores different kinds of forbidden harmonies.

Land of Reality

One of the artist or musician (that got in trouble with the King in the first song) makes a deal with a so called devil to get some secret knowledge that will bring him fortune and fame whether the King likes it or not... But when the deal is closed he has to pay his part of the deal!
