lyrics
Hazel eyes and bleeding knees
fingers deep in the sand
Reaches deeper, the young one’s hand
grazes death and a friend
Salty trails run down her chin
still the anger subsides
Numb and empty from all the lies
and all the wars with no end
Now come the echoes the warplanes sing
the carpets dance in the sky
The broken pictures of worlds gone by
a life she shut deep within
Born at the heart of calamity
with roots that hail from the war
An empty vessel that hits the shore
without a life to begin
In the darkest of aeons
a world out of hand
Collective decisions
just lines in the sand
Here come the waters
and the bodies we have ignored
The fortress did nothing
and now the sea is flooding the halls
You preach the fear
Inconsequential
The toxin fills their ears
Now they are barking like hounds
Water-mouthed creatures who feed upon the earth
Now they have gathered around
to listen to your words
The dream is medieval
Your walls are make-believe
A play for the people
loud enough to deceive
Defending the border
the soldiers of a fictional war
Come to trigger a slaughter
the blood inflames the horde
Born out of isolation
and the ghosts in your head
Distorting the bigger picture
and the heart of the dead
Face down in shallow water
where the kings have been drowned
The chaos is our creation
and we carry the crown
Lands of the sun gods
corrupted, battered and burned
We are the barons
the regents of the Earth

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 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. David Fischer

Atmospheric, dreamy, melodic death, prog metal. 7 tracks that total approx. 55 minutes, with the longest clocking in at over 11 min. It's strange, different, and grew on me. The musicianship is outstanding. metaltyger
The Australian prog band channels the chaos of climate change into powerful songs that juxtapose beauty with unpredictable brutality. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 28, 2021

Hard to pick one track from this album. The whole album is a treat but if I would have to choose one, gun to my head I would pick Sweltering Madness just because of the low tuned guitar riff. S4V6
