lyrics

I remember when I was young
A child questioning the essence of life
In my internal visions
I saw the truth arise
I look now to when I’m old
And hope to have learnt the secret
I lay and dream
Dream of times ahead
And of those that have passed into memory

Like reuniting with happiness
A snapshot in time
Where all was good and all was right
And kindness was alive
Those moments never age as you do
And you know that you can’t just simply rewind
I lay and dream
Dream of times ahead
And of those that have already passed

Lost in a dream
Of exploding stars
My universe eclipsed
I wear life’s scars
Yet, Still I float on and on
Ageless and eternal
Like a mote of dust
In the morning sky

I remember when I was young
A man learning the essence of life
In my trials and errors
I found the truth alive
Now I look to when I’m old
And hope to have shared the secret.

A thorough repudiation of any claim that metal music is uniformly angry / negative. Bombastic synth prog with death growls, riffs, and clean flourishes. This record always makes me smile. bloodbrulee
