lyrics

Don't speak, just bow
'cause I don't know how
We’ve opened the door
and let the dogs of war

Behind your fears
your inner beliefs
The hopes and the dreams
that you've suppressed before

I have come a long way to fulfil
the realities of your dream
now I'm one with the sorrow
no time to borrow, just this empty day

I have come a long way to forget
The responsibilities threat
to make us rise from our ashes
amidst the flashes of the war machine

Help me, help me end this misery
and sail away, far away
where the sun still shines
Guide me, guide me through the yesterdays
when all was new, bright and true
Where no war defies
the future of our hopes and dreams
The bright new day you promised
now will never be

Now free from sin
With no eyes or skin
These postcards from war
is all we're famous for

Lust for our blood
the void in our hearts
Amidst chaos and ruin
the Grand Design's brewing

Time will tell the merits of our tales
when the Great Destroyer fails
You've got to take what you're given
and be forgiven, or He'll come again

Here among the dying and the dead
where the martyrs meet their end
I'll be singing my last song
Somehow it feels wrong when the crowds are slain

Don't fear me now
and don't kiss me now
Just empty your mind
and dream a better life

Follow the sounds
of guns and the crowds
Across fields of death
we'll take our final breath

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
