about
When I started recording with Jay Esbensen, this was the first song I began writing on the spot. It's about being cruelly immortalized- your consciousness living forever, but being rooted to one spot on Earth, unable to move or wander, until the end of time.
lyrics
A spirit frozen in time,
A body rooted in the winter night
A prisoner of the Earth
Condemned to stillness for eternity
He sees all time pass before scarred eyes
Thhoughts of a thousand hears without voice
He burns with the cruel sunrise
The sunset brings to him unwanted life
Enslaved immortality
A burden borne forevermore
Lost among the misty pines
Forgotten grave, unhallowed, haunted ground
Destined to see till the end
But none shall hear of any prophecy.
No one will hear these words I'm screaming
Or sense the echoes that I'm feeling.
A body rooted in the winter night
A prisoner of the Earth
Condemned to stillness for eternity
He sees all time pass before scarred eyes
Thhoughts of a thousand hears without voice
He burns with the cruel sunrise
The sunset brings to him unwanted life
Enslaved immortality
A burden borne forevermore
Lost among the misty pines
Forgotten grave, unhallowed, haunted ground
Destined to see till the end
But none shall hear of any prophecy.
No one will hear these words I'm screaming
Or sense the echoes that I'm feeling.

my favorite album of all time. I love the storytelling in many of songs that make them far more meaningful and memorable it's the one element I miss on redneck vikings from hell.

Sleep at the Edge of the Earth
by Wilderunsupported by 5 fans who also own “Of Blood And Sunset”
I never cared about symphonic metal at all. I do very much care about folk as well as progressive metal, and so I couldn't resist after reading the third exceptional AMG review for Wilderun in a row. 'Sleep...' has been on my radar for quite some time, being graced by one of the most beckoning cover arts I have ever seen. The band more than lives up to its reputation, composing great musical pieces from start to finish. I absolutely love the multitude of influences being put together here.
