Two wanted criminals in the wild west team up and become much more than partners in crime - but for how long can their trust last.
In Align we tell a story about the Man of Ice and the Woman of Fire falling in love and although opposites attract, the stars don't always align. or do they. no. maybe? Watch through the film - we won't spoil. When Your Man Alex Smith reached out and asked if Skjald wanted to make a film based on the song Align there was an instant connection and a wild wild western ride began between us. It is a team effort and the film is produced by Your Man Alex Smith and Skjald, with the support of our epic Tales of Alethrion patrons.

LYRICS
You wanted songs…I’ll give you songs
Once upon a time there was a woman made of fire
And a man made of ice
And their love burnt bright
Like the stars at night
But the stars don’t always align
No the stars don’t always align
The man of ice
Was not always this way
Oh he had a burnin’ heart
But he traded it away
To someone who showed him nothing but distain
And his heart was not the same
Couldn’t handle the pain
Now ice runs through his veins
And his love burnt bright like the stars at night
But the stars don’t always align
No the stars don’t always align
The woman of fire Lives howling in the night
She was born into a world
That didn’t treat her right
After years engulfed in the flames
Her heart was not the same
Couldn’t handle the pain
So fire she became
And she burnt so bright like the stars at night
But the stars don’t always align
No the stars don’t always align
Oh the fire and ice
They could not get close
But despite the pain
They loved each other so
And their love burnt bright like the stars at night
But the stars don’t always align
No the stars don’t always
Align x8
Oh they could never be together
But let me tell you when they are
Woah their love burns bright
Like the stars at night!
But the stars don’t always
Align!
