I'm seeing things I've never seen
And I'm hearing things I can hardly perceive
Here and now, I’ve found myself a smile
Someway somehow, I know I shouldn’t be so surprised
It’s just the first time in a while
I’ve felt this way, the excitement of progress
The idea that I’m on fire, or at least hot on the trail
Of the end of this process
They cannot shake the hope I’ve found
They cannot silence my joyful sound
No more looking back at
Each one of my blatant failures
Preceding this discovery
Though unwavering, the efforts of
Fear and doubt no longer beckon me
In this new place no one knows what could happen
What will become of me, of everything
Reshaping reason is a task no man can
Confront alone, but that's a trap I'll spring
I will press on faithfully and claim these
Vict'ries that lie stretched out in front of me
I've finally noticed the innate potential
Within this forest there's another way
The light inside, it screams
You cannot let it hide
Don't be blind, tonight
You may have to give in, oh your sins
Embrace the shame and start to forgive
Or you'll never win. You'll never win
Lay all your guilt aside.
Lay all your guilt aside.
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
