Keeper of hallowed ground, lay your fears down
I appear, a mist in the moonlight
My body lies beneath the pine
And if you wander, count your footsteps, heed my words
And when the wind falls cold, your heart is golden, softly glowing
Restless souls etherealize, a dark reminder of your past life
Bring them to rest
A soothing voice surrounds your worried mind
A promise of light before you die
Bring them to rest
And if you wander, count your footsteps, heed my words
And when the wind falls cold, your heart is golden, softly glowing
Like the previous album, the music's atmosphere is thick, hanging in the air like oppressive humidity, electric guitars busily buzzing away, led by tasteful yet pounding drumwork.
And, just like the last album, despite having music that could easily be droning nonsense, the band decided to be a cut above almost every other band by actually having beautiful, captivating melodies from end to end.
Almost every song is a winner. If you like Air, you'll like this one. Highly recommended. Selrisitai
