lyrics

Youth is both blessing and curse
You can live in so many worlds
Your mind sets the borders, but something else orders your way -
for better or worse

Sanity`s kept by belief and by the bonds that you weave
Your charge is to keep all the burdening secrets inside -
in tombs far beneath

Bridge:

Through long-buried memories it creeps
to feast on the fright in your dreams
Fear is the hand on your throat,
like a boat caught in streams
you`ll be drawn to the deeps
(down here we all float)

Chorus:

It never sleeps!
Down below where they all vanished silently
It never sleeps!
Down below from where it stalks the city`s streets
It never sleeps!
Down below where we have to descend to bring it to an end!

You grew up in treacherous peace
Your past has been shrouded with ease
But your blood cast a spell and will call you when hell is unleashed

Imagination is your strength and your flaw
Fail to resist and you`re stricken with awe
Mesmerized by the gaze of these eyes
you fall prey to the voices you hear - the faces of fear

(Bridge)

(Chorus)

A wicked heart in darkness grew with veins that are of stone
A restless pulse that calls to you, whispering „come home!“

Follow now its hollow beat that lures you to its lair
And face your fears or face defeat, blinded by the deadlights` glare

(Bridge)

(Refrain)

If Elric had a soundtrack it would be this. It's everything you want from a epic metal album. Like a hot poker in the eye, but in a good way. Scott Malthouse

So I can't leave a long enough review to say everything I want. But I will say this, I love this EP. It's a great little follow up to times, and has just enough of a dynamic shift in sound to prove that Smoulder isn't a one trick pony with their first album's formula. This one really plays up the 70s prog aspects (DUST and Manilla Road influences definitely shine through even harder here). It's still Smoulder, don't get me wrong. Just a different side in some ways, all of which are good. playfulpooka
