lyrics

Oh Woe is me, Just as failure seems to be
The result of my short and frantic journey
My eyes were never open before
Now they're turned towards something more

Something new, but familiar somehow
Is it intuition (must be intuition)
Or have I been deceived by some shroud
My eyes once blind must turn towards something more

Maybe it's as it was before,
The same one entrancing
Does it hold some grudge against me
Some grudge against me here and now

I’ll move forward on this path unknown
Though it may pull and vex me so
Fighting through the bitter cold,
I’m not so old, so past the
Boldness some say I should hold
I'll Journey deeper down this road

Such horror, such woe befalling
Obstructing use of my will, and ultimately halting
I hoped it wouldn't come to this
As I bow and clench my fist
I must accept it as it is
See things as they are
Clarity is a gift

Surrounded now by even more
Chaos than ever was before,
I must remember that I am
The one who bore this weight this far
My memories pains and guilts
They must become no more

In light of what I know I’m fighting for
This time has come upon me,
Unsure of which step might be
My last or my first now I know what it's worth
I'm walking on not focused on what's passed
What lies within I will hold fast

Veil of Imagination
by Wilderun

supported by 19 fans who also own “The Road”

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
