the sun has fallen
shards of light dying from sight
shadows come calling
under the shroud of night
ages drift like snowflakes
and melt quicker each time
youth, the price that time takes
it's memory sublime
my hands, twin maps of pain
the blame all mine to bear
alone in the wind and the rain
with no one left to care
count down the days
dreaming of the ways
that i might be free
gazing to the skies
through old tired eyes
tower release me
onward and up i go
one jagged rock each time
the lash strikes one more blow
enslaved, yet i climb
time blurs away reason
behind this curse of mine
this tower, this prison
oh lord, give me a sign
praise be to mercy
heaven still too high
all crumbles around me
washed away in the sky
I received this as a surprise present by the band for pre-ordering the upcoming album, so thanks a lot to you, too :-))
As could be expected by Pat Sanders & Co, highly melodic prog that should, for instance, appeal too friends of Fish-era Marillion (although Uncle Fish would never have reached those high notes ;-) ) and some instrumentals (from beautiful miniatures like Bubbles to the more epic Last Supper). Among many other fine things offered here, I especially love Pat's piano playing! Carsten Pieper
Streamlining their post-metal sprawl through a sharper melodic focus, the Scottish juggernauts' third LP is labyrinthine yet approachable. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 25, 2024
The Indonesian act Kekal leaves no genre unturned, colliding black metal with industrial music with melodic post-rock on this stunning LP. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 25, 2023
