lyrics

When at first you were lost to me
I couldn’t speak, I could hardly breathe
I wondered what would happen then
I saw no chance for something new, only a bitter end

Desperately my search began
Through these dark and dreary lands

I flinched I faltered, thought occasionally
I may have to quit
My sense of wonder it stayed fully intact
In the madness of it all

My head held high, I clenched my fist into a ball
Their voices only pushed me faster towards the fall

In this world of new discoveries,
There is no lack of things I thought could not be
My search was not of her, nor hers of me
Yet all the same she stole the innocence you gave to me

Journeying on, with guilt and doubt in tow
Oh it mattered not, harder I fought how far could I go?

I can breathe again, everything feels real again

My eyes are new, with them I am able to view
Worlds where I can find myself ,and save you
We'll travel searching for all time
We will all be whole again, finally and fully alive

SO WHY DON'T I FEEL ALIVE?

Veil of Imagination
by Wilderun

supported by 19 fans who also own “Alive”

The songs are masterfully composed and flow together beautifully, and the orchestration is exactly how I want metal orchestration to sound: full, playable by a real orchestra, and just as important to the music as the vocals, drums, guitar, and bass are. tonycordeshimself

I don’t usually go out much for metalcore/deathcore but this album would easily make my shortlist. Emotionally captivating with great storytelling and an overall solid musical performance. 7/10 RJ
