lyrics
Listen to the songs they said
lest the world should end
Just bow your head
and let the world run its course my friend
What we built is what we have
From a distance you could see your planet fall
From the clock tower everything you touch is gold
But on the factory floor it’s all the same
The apathetic mass with no name
There is no masterplan and no choice
when the cracks appear on the screen
When the cogs and hands become toys
a threat to your machine
Wherever you will go
the sounds will find you
and follow you back home
Forget the Gods above
Human shapes form against the sky
Life on Earth
what is it worth?
No
Can’t you hear
Songs of the Machine
A godlike melody
Eating your dreams
Leaving you down and drained
Feed the machine
and be the enslaved
Stand in line and
watch them build their lie
You would sacrifice and close your eyes
on all the pieces that die
to live mechanic lives
Watch it turn from side to side
It only wavers for a while
Watch it break from time to time
We are not forever
In circles we will turn
so we don’t move at all
To circles we return
and never move at all
We never move at all

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
