David Gold, founder of one of Canada's best metal bands, Woods of Ypres, passed away on December 21st 2011. He was a friend to many, a brilliant musician and a proud Canadian. I, Voldamares, met David at our very first show back in 2003 at the Club Rocket in Toronto. He gave me his demo and I gave him mine. To show our respect and admiration for him and his music we, Eclipse Eternal, did a cover of one of the songs from that very first demo he gave me. It will be featured on the upcoming album "A Heart of Gold -- A Tribute to Woods of Ypres" release. As a preview of that album (which features many excellent acts doing great covers) I give you "Crossing the 45th Parallel"

Lyrics:
To pass between, these winter walls,
While traveling at night,
Taken by reflection,
I mine my life

The trees have seen me come this way,
Many times at any hours.
They stand on both sides,
And greet me, as I pass.

A time and place, where winter begins,
I see inspiring sights.
Reminiscent of years gone by,
I mine my life.

I am, being expected, by those who are waiting at home.
Taking caution, knowing I'm guided by white lines covered in snow.

On occasion I pass through,
From the life I build,
To the life I knew.

Only the trees would have seen,
Who held the wheel.
Only they would have seen,
When I grew tired of travel.

Only the trees would have seen,
Who held the wheel.
Only they would have seen,
When I lost control.

In desperate times, in such desperation,
This long road traveled once left me behind.
Now used, for gaining momentum,
The theme of it all,
Defines my life.

Lyrics written by David Gold.
