Above the misty clouds
Where flocking birds abound
Upon the air currents
With nothing else around
A dirigible sails on
Its crew of rogues and lost souls
Helmed by a captain steadfast
Her pride and joy, this ship she built
(Grey sky empire)
So far from lands now left behind
The world played cruel tricks on her mind
Adrift afar, on writhing winds
Invent a way to calm this restless soul
Never to remain in one place
On end for too long
In this vessel they fly
To distant empires unknown
And with a fearless crew
Laugh in the face of the odds
But when the storms arrive
And lightning strikes at the engines
(Night skies afire)
Does the thunder chill your bones
Under your skin
There’s no one can save you now
Should you give in
Land and sea await below
You won’t survive if you fall
So batten down the hatches
Fly your way out of this squall
After the rain come peaceful skies
Or so that's what I've found
The winds will point my way
No earthly guide
Wherever I go now, I'm home
Far above the stony ground
As long as we are free
We’ll never die
I’m lost, but now I’ve left behind
The dim lit corners of my mind
Adrift afar - Somehow, someday
I’ll still my heart and calm my restless soul
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
