lyrics

Distanced from those around us
Do we know that they are not to fear
Why are we living so isolated
With connection still near?

There are those who share in our pain
What’s left of us, crumbling away
There is one way to find them
Compassion, shown to all.

A defection, betrayal of trust.
These ghosts became foes of sanctuary
Jeopardizing prospects of future life,
that we have struggled for.

Avoid the impending fray
Where are all the voices and the peace we’ve waited for?
We are victims of eternal ways
Decide, that this time we face
the Maw of Reality.

The last hope for our communication
Lies within the will to face ourselves.

Pain in store
We have a voice.
What are you waiting for?

Trying to thrive within
A nexus of worlds,
Ahead of us is a choice.
Will we unify or stay corrupted?

Circle of vicious voices
Have consumed, our optimism
Divided, we cannot stand
Connect so it’s proven to all

There are those who share in our pain
What’s left of us, crumbling away
There is one way to find them
Compassion, shown to all.

Avoid the impending fray
Where are all the voices and the peace we’ve waited for?
We are victims of eternal ways
Decide, that this time we face
the Maw of Reality.

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

If Elric had a soundtrack it would be this. It's everything you want from a epic metal album. Like a hot poker in the eye, but in a good way. Scott Malthouse
