about
Part III in the Paradise Lost trilogy. The first two are much more literal, taken largely from the text itself and massaged to fit my needs, while this one is more thematic in nature.
lyrics
In a time unlike today,
The fall of man still on its way,
There hanging in the tree,
A serpent staring down at Eve
Taste the Fruit, taste of me
Let the knowledge I provide
Set you free...
I will not fall again
If these broken wings ever mend
I will not fall again
In the end we begin again
The ascension will take place,
I will not fall again.
The ascension will take place,
and I will not fall again.
Corruptible, destructible,
Is this the great design?
You gave man the power to choose,
And he chose to be blind,
War, Disease,
You set us free?
How many lives were wasted here?
Looking back what have you done?
How many lives were wasted here?
Are you proud of what you’ve become?
Like sand in your eyes,
Or thorns under your nails,
The pain of life is real,
And its rewards are often stale
Is there a good life?
It's up to you, the deeds you do.
It's up to you, the life you choose.
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
This checks pretty much all the boxes of my blackened dm achilles heel preferences - progressive playing alongside compositional complexity; almost mythological lyrics with a doomy undercurrent of emotional urgency. It's almost like a siren song to my progressive metal dna. And I will take that ending solo in "Sold as a Crow" any day of the week. I was going to make an Intronaut comparison but wait - this is from 2014?! Shit! bcb723
