Another sleepless night to end a cruel, cold day
Midwinter rain beats down
Upon the cobble streets of my home
My city's lights shine out, drowning the glow of stars
As I am lost in this labyrinth of conflicting noise
Someday I’ll get out of this town
Go places where I’ll hear
The sweet sound of adventure calling
Beyond the horizon, that's where I want to be
There must be more to this world than what I can see
I’m no regal lord, I’m no paladin proud
I have never been more than I am right now
But I want to go far and wide
Seek out new shores
So upon a ship of the skies
I will sail through this storm
I'll slip away in the dead of the night
Nevermore to revisit this in mind
I don't know what's in store
For I will never be saved, and I’ll leave this all behind
I don’t know if what I’m doing is right
But I keep at it, never end the fight
As I seek something more
And I will never be saved, now I’m leaving this behind
So many things to do and see
So many trails and lives to lead
So many kingdoms, open doors
Places I've never been before
They say that broken wings may fly again
I'm worlds away, and here I will stay
I’m no pious saint, I’m no fabled champion
Everything I know - simple tricks
No might, no spells
But here in this moonlit port
With streets not made of things I know
Everything points to now
And though I’ve tried to forget last November
I know somehow I always shall remember
No yesterday, so far from home, another wraith
And I will see you in the end
If this is a dream, then I’m fucked up
It may seem obscene to test my luck
Keep rolling the dice while I’m still young
As I've come so far, but never far enough
On distant shores so far away
I know that this is where I'll stay
I can see what I am
Now I will never be saved, I’ll cary that plague
When the stars fall down
I await my crown
When forever comes
You have been warned, so follow me
Beautiful, haunting, and incredibly engaging. I'm listening to this and looking out the window at snow falling -what could be more perfect?
An incredible record; highly recommended. It's truly beautiful, and that's not a word I often use for metal, but this is powerful stuff. somethingsomething9
Moins austère que son prédécesseur (ou alors rompu à l'orthodoxie par l'usage du disque précédent) je trouve cet album bien plus accrocheur. baudelagon
A beautiful journey from start to finish, with perfectly placed moments of gentility amidst the rhythmic intrigue and blast beats of their guest drummer. jsteadmanfan
