lyrics

All I see is a crimson tempest
From the pulsing surface of Io
Eccentric resonance
I try to scream in this dream
But i'm just a mountain
Crumbling from the stress
There was a time I could
Carry that weight
Into the waking world
But a storm the size of three earths wide
Is swallowing me whole

Galileo, it still moves,
And so must I,
But oh, the things we sacrifice
The things we sacrifice

To prolong
The coming step
The unknown gravity in every breath

Falling through an all consuming
Raging misery
I feel the pressure rising
Yet I'm hell-bent to deceive
Awestruck and ambitious eyes
Set on the cosmic great divide
But the Jovian poles are mirrors
To the void that spins inside

Galileo, it still moves,
And so must I,
But oh, the things we sacrifice
The things we sacrifice
To keep our guard up
Stone-faced as we fall
Into the embrace of cosmic noise
I've felt so estranged for so long
Stoic as I crumbled into oblivion

Can you hear me
From beyond the asteroid belt?
I am sending out a signal
I am calling out for help

Galileo, it still moves,
And so must I,
But oh, the things we sacrifice
The things we sacrifice
Gravity in every breath
I've got to take the coming step
Wake up from this dark night
And feel sunlight again

We prolong
The coming step
The unknown gravity in every breath

Sleep at the Edge of the Earth
by Wilderun

supported by 4 fans who also own “Galileo”

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

When it comes to the "atmosphere" in "atmospheric black metal", this release probably succeeds the most in making me feel like i exist within this universe of music. domfabio
