A Mercenary's Fate

from A Mercenary's Fate by Siren

/

  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    "A Mercenary's Fate" is the second, full-length studio album from US heavy metal band, Siren., since their unexpected reunion in 2018 to perform at a prestigious festival in Germany. Their journey to regroup and perform was captured in the documentary film "I'm Too Old for This Sh*t! A Heavy Metal Fairy Tale" produced by Chris Jericho.

    This new album features a total eleven new songs in the melodic, traditional heavy metal style that the band has honed since first forming in 1981. The title track of the album pays homage to their debut 7" single, "Metro-Mercenary" which was released in 1984. For the first time, the band worked with their long-time friend, legendary Producer, Jim Morris, who mixed and mastered the album at Morrisound Recording in Tampa, FL.

    This Limited Edition CD features a 16-page booklet with full lyrics.

    NOTE: We have changed from Priority Mail shipping to Media Mail shipping for US orders to lower the overall cost although it will mean shipping in a padded envelope instead of a box. Unfortunately, shipping rates from the US to international locations has become outrageously expensive. That is why the shipping rates are so high. We make no money on shipping. For international orders, please visit our label at www.FHMRecords.com where the shipping should be less.

    We have received a very small amount of these beautiful vinyl LPs to sell in North America. For orders outside of the US/Canada/Mexico, please visit www.FHMRecords.com. A total of only 500 copies were produced in blue and pink vinyl to match the cover theme.

    The album features nine tracks that have been specifically mastered for vinyl by the legendary Jim Morris of Morrisound Recording in Tampa, FL. A full-color insert is included which contains lyrics for all of the songs as well as the additional information such as credits, thanks, contacts, etc. Each album is brand new and shrink-wrapped and also includes a digital download of the entire album including the two bonus tracks included on the CD version.

    We hope to receive some additional copies in the future, including some of the pink edition, but we have no definite details about that currently. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us at SireBandUS@gmail.com and, as always, you can find all of our info at SirenBand.us.

    Thanks and we hope you enjoy the new album. We feel that it is our best ever and the fantastic reviews it has been receiving seem to back that up.

lyrics

40 years ago, it was clear I was the best
A deadly mob enforcer
that no one would dare to test
Had no need for conscience, sympathy or care
When the S-blade started singing
you knew the end was near

I was loyal but they feared what I could do
And I knew too much
so the plot against me grew

Killed by the ones I served
and sent straight to Hell
Gimme one last chance to save my soul
Now I roam the earth
and only evil fears my blade
It’s a fitting end
A mercenary’s fate

My reputation spread
from this world to the next
When you wanted someone’s head
I was the deadly best
On my way to burn
a bargain would be made
Back to earth I would go to end an evil trade

Children sold into pain and misery
Forced to serve a twisted industry

(Chorus)

Way beyond redemption
Hell would be my home
No hope for ascension
(For endless sins you must atone)

I never could imagine
that God needs hitmen too
Killing for salvation
And I love the work I do

Now I’m back and it’s time to pay the toll
Traffickers beware because
your heads are gonna roll

(Chorus)
