In the cold and lonely spaces between hopes and fears
Where psilocybin dreams filled my younger years
There lies a darkened shrine that harbors unknown tombs
Drawing me forth despite my inner wounds
In every night
There is a dream that I can’t contain
Fears that I’ve held
Deep in my bones since my soul was conceived
There is no light
No sure escape from the tide
Here stands the man, watching
His fingers beckon me near
What kind of evil trick has brought me back to here?
A stone now is pushed aside that covers up my fear
Maybe I seek this place to redeem all my sins
Not just mine, but those bestowed upon my kin
In every night
There is a dream that I can’t contain
Fears that I’ve held
Deep in my bones since my soul was conceived
There is no light
No sure escape
I see him
He comes forth
From darkness
He takes form
I see him
He is I
I am cursed
And I am damned
I am fairly new to power metal and honestly getting into the rabbit hole of metal sub-genre’s, and this album just reeks of pure badass fantasy, like I am playing a D&D game where I am the hero slaying demons and ghouls. I absolutely love it. The guitar solo’s to the vocal’s are just great and match what I want out of metal in general. Highly recommend this album! SLADESNAKE
