Reborn

Oh phoenix, let me climb on your pyre
Phoenix reborn again
What is this? a strange wind blowing
Bearing secrets with its hushing rustle
And who are you? a figure approaching
Are these footsteps I hear or my heartbeat
Pounding, forcing the Amorphis to conceive
Chimes of midnight I stand helpless watching
as the tremulous bud turns to the sun
Oh phoenix, let me climb on your pyre
Phoenix forge me a soul in your fire
Will I wither like all roses?
Will I forfeit my own cry?
But the blackness held its silence
The golden scales in perfect balance
For time it is weightless
At least not until dawn breaks
Come back when the spring ends
To see Lady Lazarus stand trial
Oh phoenix, let me climb on your pyre
Phoenix reborn again
Oh phoenix, let me climb on your pyre
I am Phoenix I am reborn again
I am Phoenix I am reborn again.. Look

Touched

I know by the pound in my chest
when you told me that you've passed the test
And by the softness I feel
When I dream our stars align
Roses broke and grace got torn I know
you just don't want to get hurt no more
Your eyes are blinded by fear
Well I can see the future and it’s clear
Because you've touched my soul
It changed its texture
We're good alone
But can be great together
That is why I know
Not to let go
Pain and joy are woven fine
but can’t you see they’re clothing for a soul divine
Infinity in your hand
To see the galaxies in just one grain of sand
Because you've touched my soul
It changed its texture
We're good alone
But can be great together
That is why I know
Not to let go
What can I do to make you believe this?
If I could open up your mind
You’ll see all that lies behind and ahead
Because you've touched my soul
It changed its texture
We're good alone
But can be great together
That is why I know
Not to let go

Frozen Sun
04:51
|

|
Summer has come frozen sun
Nothing is moving the heroes have gone
What was that song?
Am I really going mad now?
I’m trying to hold on to sanity's sound
Beyond the shadows
I see a shimmer
I know that it won't stand waiting forever
But nothing is free
Time seems like an endless crown
And I weaved my jewels through the thread
Slipped from my hand I’m done
Must I accept that the cycle has ended
Or am I to blame for playing the clown
Spiraling down
Summer has come frozen sun
Nothing is moving the heroes have gone
Where are they now
Sacred hallowed grounds
This is a game just for kings
And the eagle is spreading his wings
Carving up pieces and bits
In this mausoleum
Refining the organic parts
And wash away the husk
What tools can suffice for this act
Of salvaging hidden charts
The great clock it always counts back
To the moment that’s never ours
Is a second just long enough
Time seems like an endless crown
And I weaved my jewels through the thread
Slipped from my hand I’m done
Must I accept that the cycle has ended
Or am I to blame for playing the clown
Time seems like an endless crown
And I weaved my jewels through the thread
Slipped from my hand I’m done
Must I accept that the cycle has ended
Or am I to blame for playing the clown
Spiraling down

I'm too Close
04:50
|

|
I’m too close for him to dream about me
I don’t flutter over him
Not fleeing him under the roots of trees
I’m too close
I’m too close for him to dream about me
I don’t flutter over him
Not fleeing him under the roots of trees
I’m too close
Not with my voice sings the captured fish
The ring doesn’t roll from my finger
Too close for him to enter as the guest
Before whom the walls part
I’m too close for him to dream about me
Riches rust in density
Fallen the leaves
Bare are the roots of trees
I’m too close
Never again will I die so readily
So far beyond the flesh, so inadvertently
Too close, too close, I hear the hiss and see the glittering husk
Immobilized in his embrace
Poor me limited to my own form
But I was a birch tree
I was a lizard
I emerged from satins and sundials
My skin shimmering in all the different colors
I possessed the grace to disappear from astonished eyes
I’m too close, I’m too close
Too close, I’m too close
I’m too close for him to dream about me
All those peacock eggs I’ve laid
Fill up the room
He can’t see them, he can’t see me
I’m too close
I’m too close for him, hiding my skin
Too much flesh and blood for him
He yearns for one, yet to be seen
In this night too close
A valley now grows in her for him, ochre-leaved
Out of reach closed off by a snowy mountain
In the azure air, I’m too close
To fall out of the sky for him
My screams would only awaken him
I’m too close, I’m too close
Too close, I’m too close

Monster
04:17
|

|
What a monster I am, my breath can spoil milk
Waving my small change, blow every deal
I make no excuses now that's really not my place
Seems I've drained your well of good intentions
I bleach all the shades and talk too much
I make no suggestions now that's really not my place
You really fucked me over
You really fucked me over
I'm clutching at my mornings
Conquering them back
Give me back my mornings
Oh I need them
How could you steal them from me?
I will never be fearless like that again
Use both of my lungs and all my skin
Conjure up spells to pull you in
Every moment was magic and that's the core of my pain
Dark and twisted magic, I'd do it all again
If I had my innocence back
I'm conquering my longings
Close down every crack
I won’t give in now
You say I never let you sleep
You can sleep now
You can sleep till you die
You can sleep away your life

Moonlight Dancer

Hey now, moonlight dancer
Can you remember what never was?
Hey now now, black horse lancer
Will you give up your toys for a smile?
And will I..
Smoke signs in the east
Follow lost traces and follow the whispering sands
Carry your feathered wings
Hey now, moonlight dancer
Lullaby shouting in my ear
Every page has an answer
Will you dare to dream again with me?
And will I..
Smoke signs in the east
Follow lost traces and follow the whispering sands
Carry your feathered wings
Smoke signs in the east
Follow lost traces and follow the whispering sands
Carry these fading years

Black Holes
07:02
|
|||
|
Sticks and stones you broke no bones
And I’ll cover the tracks with a hastening sound
Plucking red feathers and pulling red skin
Sucking the poison out, in
The monster, the terror
Sugar glazed black holes
They only add up on the screen
Restless fingers grasping to reach
Allowed in the ocean but never the beach
You showed me a spaceship but forgot to teach
Mercury vines
Come and go with the tides
They ask not for vengeance
Run thicker than blood
Right along with the mud in the veins
So should we be sealing the deal?
Sticks and stones you broke no bones
And I’ll cover the tracks with a hastening sound
No remorse you had no choice
And I’ll cover the cracks with those self-made fresh scars
Pushing the boulder, transforming, I swim
Giving my best to the fool on a whim
The hanged man, the tower
Ill-conceived lovers bound to their work on the wheel
Speaking by fire and sleeping by creed
Always in power but never in need
The ruins of Atlantis
Generations grieving the seed
A misguided prophet messiah of lies
Left us with knots where there should be ties
The smell of old sweat and the buzzing of flies
And you're so full of chemicals you glow in the dark
If I claw the distance behind your smile
Show guts and infiltrate your mind
Dismantle your atoms and rebuild my right
Strings don't align
They curve up in my spine
They serve no utility
Left taking comfort in her ability
To always see the natural possibility
And gracefully choosing the odd probability
The ones and the threes
In my spine and my knees
It’s all there encrypted in genes
Along with the frenzy along with the tears
Sticks and stones you broke no bones
And I’ll cover the tracks with a hastening sound
No remorse you had no choice
And I’ll cover the cracks with those self-made fresh scars

The Beggar
04:13
|

|
Summer turned to winter and now summer came again
Leave a candle burning so my words won't be scattered in vain
I've been biting on my lip and I've been chewing on the pain
Swallowing up the sadness and spitting in the rain
The truth is I'm afraid all the time
Like a beggar
Take this heart and take the salt
You downright should it's all my fault
I told you once you told me twice
My fucking math, a poor disguise
Hands they shake when you don’t watch
I'm screaming like a madman behind the door
All the mess that you won't touch
And more and more
The truth is I'm afraid all the time
Like a beggar for your love
For your love
For your love
For these crumbs paid the price in flesh
That you never even came to charge
For the beast that hungered, starving
It resides in me
The beggar inside of me
The truth is she’s afraid all the time
Like a beggar
A lost child she’s wandering, bare feet and cold
Dreaming of Phoenix a path to unfold
The triumph of mermaids and lead turned to gold
But the truth is I’m afraid all the time
Like a beggar

Love or Heaven
06:45
|

|
And then came the storm
And it blew me away
And then came the Storm
All my ghosts I have summoned thee
All my ghosts now arise
Rattlesnake and Scorpio fighting
Eagle grounded never flying
Question pounding in my mind
And then came the storm
And it blew me away
And then came the Storm
Through my thoughts I have summoned thee
Through my thoughts now collide
It's fuelling up on my ambition
Burning in my intuition
One more question on my mind:
Is it love or heaven that I have to find?
Take away this feeling from inside
Pull away your Claws release my pride
All this softness
Is pulling down
The pillars that hold my sky
Why can’t anybody love and set free?
Why can’t anybody love and set free?
Why can’t anybody love and set free?
Why can’t anybody love and release the chains?
Don't be too quick to throw all your clothes on the floor
There’s a certain order in this room that I have to take care for
Take away this feeling from inside
Pull away your claws release my pride
Sometimes love is not enough
And sometimes love is just too much
Why can’t anybody love and set free?
Why can’t anybody love and set free?
Why can’t anybody love and set free?
Why can’t anybody love and release the chains?
Is it love or heaven that I have to find?

Earth Walker

Empty is the cup that needs to fill
Creature of land come to the deep
Gathering the seaweed from a dream
Under the waves I’ll keep them for you
Earth walker
I could never feel the shame of the blood and dust and cracking
Bone brother
When the memories erase your heart can choose
For every life another you must kill
I am not me and you are not here
For years I’ve watched you struggle to be seen
I see you clear there’s nothing to win
Earth walker
I could never feel the shame of the blood and dust and cracking
Bone brother
When the memories erase your heart can choose
Earth walker
Bone brother
Storm mother

I bought the album on vinyl basically just to have the EP on physical format, I'll be honest. This is not to say the album is bad (it is absolutely amazing) but the EP blew me away and is honestly one of the best and most versatile albums I've listened to in a while and the vocals are just insanely good. If you like ExLibris you'll love this band too, no doubt

Veil of Imagination
by Wilderun

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.
