A silent cry visits the heavens
You crack a smile as it fades to infinity
Unheard by all, my fate secured
I fall to my knees and cover my face
Though tears in my eyes, I peer through my fingers
An empty call, result unknown
The choices before me, a tempting lot indeed
I choose to grab one, you pull it away from me
Find joy in my torment, and light in my suffering
I stare at you still, but now you're laughing
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
