lyrics

I wade in the water
On the shores of tedium
Where days come crashing
Devoid of significance

In the sands, my heart is lost
Trapped in the neck of the hourglass
As if to sift the soil and trap the gold
But nothing sticks and nothing flows

While the horizon bleeds its final light
And paints the stars across my eyes
I hear the hymn sung behind a veil
Of fractured smiles and hopes growing dim
I hear you singing with the swans

Waves reach far to wash away
Another static, fallow day
I've lost count, the grains won't fall
I feel my blood slow to a halt

While the horizon bleeds its final light
And paints the stars across my eyes
I hear the hymn sung behind a veil
Of fractured smiles and hopes growing dim

Part the waters of old devotion
Bleak and faded now
Like moonlight scattered
Across a restless ocean
Take my hand and lead me down
Trade my sober grey for brilliant blue

Because my heart is lost
Snared in the grip of a dying love
Writhing in its final throes
Time stands still and nothing flows

I wade in the water
In the tide of wasted years
An endless stream of fallow days
Wishing you were here

Veil of Imagination
by Wilderun

supported by 44 fans who also own “Final Light”

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

Love Exchange Failure
by White Ward

supported by 41 fans who also own “Final Light”

When it comes to the "atmosphere" in "atmospheric black metal", this release probably succeeds the most in making me feel like i exist within this universe of music. domfabio

Unsettling Whispers
by GAEREA

supported by 39 fans who also own “Final Light”

Gaerea's first release of "Unsettling Whispers" was in 2018, and since, they dared define a "black metal" niche of their own, they dared to walk a new path and stir shit up a bit in the realm of BM, this album is a masterpiece and a milestone proving that it can be done, provided the band can pull it off, and they did, oh they did! Gloomy, dark, post-BM sludgy whatever, it's Gaerea, and this one belongs in my BC collection, the end. sachavonkarl74

Sleep at the Edge of the Earth
by Wilderun

supported by 38 fans who also own “Final Light”

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
