lyrics
From cycles old
To cycles new
We chase the stars
And dreams of truth
Fallen gods
And there's no way home
Deep breath
We learned to close our eyes
And forget the storms so far from our lives
Out of reason the flock parades on
We sharpen our knives, misled and alone
Beneath the sun
A dream of oblivion
We're fencing shadows as we run
From cycles old
To cycles new
We chase the stars
And dreams of truth
Fallen gods
And there's no way home
Dream back
Return to fantasy
A piece of Eden in your memory
Isolated the fiction lives on
You're leading the blind, the new hand of God
Washed on the shore
Dreams of a world before
All human motion needs a storm
From cycles old
To cycles new
We chase the stars
And dreams of truth
Fallen gods
And there's no way home
Wash away the memory
Let it wither and die

Music & Lyrics: Jasper Karhunen
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
