lyrics

Whatever happened to the elegant dream
The fragrant flowers, the ocean, the soil, the trees
Do you remember when this world was still green
Before the dark ones took it all away
Fearing existence without purpose, they
Locked themselves away deep within their own cage
'Till one day when they heard the call
That wakes up the dead

You can’t protect us all
For good or for ill

Is there a soul within this battered shell
What lies behind those hollow eyes
Run from the arcane, unholy weapons
Alchemical flame
The dark of night never shall be the same

To think that one
By such few lines could be entwined
To think that such few lines, repeated endlessly
Could take a heart and not let go

Before it crashes all down
The emptiness at the helm
We are who we say we are
We’ll go anywhere but far
And at the heart of the crowd
There lies the end of this realm
We are what you say we are
The dream of a space age
Warts and all

Is there a heart beneath the armoured surface
Where went the life from ancient times

Now watch an empire fall
Cold stars left behind

Bright banners raised upon the high walls
In noble opposition ‘gainst the great foe
Yet all the fury of mars
Cannot halt their silent advance
The pall of black warships in the night
Come bearing historic, euphoric demise
Far from here in dark caverns wide
Th'eternal deathless host shall rise

Behind these eyes we close our minds
Whatever comes, the Earth survives
So resurrect electric lives
Don't be afraid of what you find

The Intimate Earth
by FELLED

supported by 5 fans who also own “Charting the Stars”

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
