Virgil: Don't let your fear defeat you
For whatever power he has
He cannot stray you from your path
He will not harm you, stay aside
Be silent, oh cursed wolf
Go let your rage feed on yourself!
His journey is willed on high, so fly away, gone!
Dante: Here saw I people, more than elsewhere, many
On one side and the other, this dark place was plenty
With great howls and rolling weights by force of chest
They suffered, they cried as they clashed with the rest
And so when they hit the other, their weights roll back
And crying, demanding, they shout at the dark
WHY DO YOU HOARD? said one, WHY DO YOU SQUANDER?
The other replying, and both red in anger
And turning their stone as no answer is found
They begin to wander the other way around
Crying and crying this their chant of scorn
I couldn't but feel like my own heart was torn
The Damned: Here we cry we all know why we never care to stop
All in life is keeping, thrive, and gather even more
Here we cry we all know why we never care to stop
All in life is spending, buying, wasting for our cause
Dante: I've been trying to recognize
All those souls in the eastern side
Now their tonsures reveal they're clergymen
Shame on them!
The Damned: Here we cry we all know why we never care to stop
All in life is keeping, thrive, and gather even more
Here we cry we all know why we never care to stop
All in life is spending, buying, wasting for our cause
All for gold
We are sold
The Damned: Here we cry we all know why we never care to stop
All in life is keeping, thrive, and gather even more
Here we cry we all know why we never care to stop
All in life is spending, buying, wasting for our cause
Dante: And then we so descend towards a greater sorrow
For every star that rose when I first move is setting now
We crossed the circle to the other shore to reach a flow
A darkenend stream which gives birth to a swamp so here we come,
Styx
A beautiful journey from start to finish, with perfectly placed moments of gentility amidst the rhythmic intrigue and blast beats of their guest drummer. jsteadmanfan
Highest-quality-metal!
Imagine Cynic having a baby with Dream Theater, Devin Townsend, Atheist and Joe Satriani!
And now imagine this and add fantastic songwriting!
Ok.
Now you got it, don't you? RATMAN
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
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
Surprisingly good. As may be expected from 2 members of a Pink Floyd tribute band, "Rain" invites comparisons to PF's concept albums and Roger Waters' solo work. Recommended listening for anybody who was disappointed by Endless River! SantaR
