Silence washes over when you leave
The ground beneath the forest starts to breathe
Spirits coalesce in the light of day
Their shackles all begin to fade away
Cascading warmth surrounds our soul
The joining of our sorrow makes us whole
And through the slow fall of all our fears
A silhouette of home appears
Awake, a shimmering physical form
Reassembled (the one who rides the stars)
At last it seems our sun will arise
And when the wind falls cold, your heart is golden
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
