lyrics

Let me tell you about all the things that I heard when she cried
Let me tell you about all the tears and her woes when she died
The tears and her woes when she died
The tears and her woes when she died

Untold tales and the lingering pains
the quintessence of life
Always Looking the other way
never able to draw out the knife

Merciless fate is unraveling before our eyes
Brooding here endlessly, behind celestial guise

I see we became like the beasts
we proclaim to transcend
Are we all not just reflections of space
And are bound to succumb at its end?

What if we’re weak and just no one dares speak
As there’s no new under no sun?

Are we all not just reflections of that
Which we dream of and shouldn’t be?

Give in to your temporal urge
Which you thought you’d left behind
Revel in the clangor of war
Put it to rest with your mighty roar

Answer heaven’s call
Rise above the human fall
Be part of the
Great unknown
See the truth
And take the throne

Will we never descend
down to earth?
Drenched in indifference
what is power worth?

Kill the king, boy
Slay the heedless
I will violate my oath
And dance in rivers of ichor

Ancient gods turn wrong
Yet the pillars still stand strong
Sometimes stars fall
What is dead may never rise once more

I will vow, this
Bound by the abyss
As the azure is reborn
Reshaped in bliss

We will keep watch
Endlessly
All you see
Relit again
Empyrean

Veil of Imagination

The songs are masterfully composed and flow together beautifully, and the orchestration is exactly how I want metal orchestration to sound: full, playable by a real orchestra, and just as important to the music as the vocals, drums, guitar, and bass are. tonycordeshimself

Sleep at the Edge of the Earth
by Wilderun

supported by 108 fans who also own “Magnanimous”

I never cared about symphonic metal at all. I do very much care about folk as well as progressive metal, and so I couldn't resist after reading the third exceptional AMG review for Wilderun in a row. 'Sleep...' has been on my radar for quite some time, being graced by one of the most beckoning cover arts I have ever seen. The band more than lives up to its reputation, composing great musical pieces from start to finish. I absolutely love the multitude of influences being put together here. David Fischer
