lyrics
Solemn Sun
Glowing with inadequacy
Knee deep in doubt
Desperately hoping
This is not what life's about
Running in circles
I'm dancing in my grave
Can't help but wonder
If there's any of me left to save
Swimming in second guesses
Apathy will descend
Frustration will follow
Now resigned to the end
By the roadside of the rat race
In the glaring full beams
My tires punctured
With sharp shards of shattered dreams
Now a solemn sun circles me
This ever watchful eye
A stark spotlight, on an empty stage
Rising, setting in stolid procession
A painful parade of my failure
Squandered opportunities
Hanging humourlessly
Like black clouds in the sky
All you never did,
All you'll never do.
Every moment stolen.
Will forever haunt you
Abigail Williams has had a weird career with hiatuses and lineup changes, but they have finally perfected their sound on Walk Beyond the Dark. This album has such a refreshing and natural feeling that makes it one of the top atmospheric black metal albums of recent years. Ryan
Iapetus vise la voûte céleste avec The Long Road Home et, aussi éloignée soit-elle, arrive à ne pas se perdre en chemin, ne succombant jamais à la facilité ou au remplissage : Matthew et Jordan sont deux virtuoses du black metal progressif qui savent être exemplaires, encore plus dans les pistes instrumentales (l'album ne pouvait rêver de meilleure conclusion que cette piste éponyme). Iapetus vise aussi les planètes, donnant du corps à leur création par des thèmes et paroles matures. Magistral ! Jordan Vauvert
This is one of the best albums I've ever heard. I recently discovered this and really hope these guys are still putting out music. It's just brilliant in every way. Queefer Sutherland
