lyrics

Here in the land of upheaval and ash
My path is crumbling to dust
The fires of toxic flesh eating my soul
yet their soothing hiss leaves me aghast

My future's dead like my father's before
My thoughts wild course in dismay
Suddenly she was there through fire and mist
Radiant in white, beckoning me

Sweet child of angels
Last to succumb
For all men must feed
Linger with me now
First to ascend
and cherish the dream

Tied were my hands then but loose was my tongue
until I broke down and cried
Gently she whispered the secrets of old
yet a doubt crossed her face like a knife

Her features blurred and her eyes melt in pools
Her skull rose gold like the sun
The Great Destroyer appeared in her place
Bigger the hope, greater the fall

Sleep at the Edge of the Earth

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

Anthology

Incredible piece of prog-metal. Really has some kick-ass riffs and solo-parts. Maybe a tad bit weak vocals, but makes up for it with excellent intrumentals. Martin færøy
