lyrics

Rain melts the rooftops
Under neon sky
Nothing and no one
Lasts too long outside
Nascent whispers
Fall from on high
Do as I do, Do as I say
And you will survive

Once the whispers make a difference
A hand extends to the ground
Quite a view they've given you
But these aren't wings, they're weights

A violent commandment is ushered down
Come and meet your purpose in the clouds

Make yourself at home (slowly drift away)
In the pit of their poison paradisе
For the creatures in thе canopy drink their blood and wine
We can take it from here (catatonic with fear)
Sovereigns proven they're no more than parasites
And the longer that you breathe them in
The stronger they become

Lack of control and the calmness are quite
Unlike the deafening roar of complacency,
Where every thought is laid to waste
At the moment of your suffering potential

Make yourself at home (slowly drift away)
In the nightmare that you see with open eyes
For the creatures in the canopy feast on you tonight
We can take it from here (catatonic with fear)
Time to decide if your life's worth dying
Don't be the wall between us
You've been fed and fattened
Fear the harvest my friend
It's easy in the end

It All Began With Loneliness
by The Anchoret

supported by 6 fans who also own “Creatures in the Canopy”

One of my favorite Progressive albums of the year by far. It has the appropiate mix of mistery, complexity and surprise I expect of this kind of albums. With some gospel, saxo and flute passages giving a theatrical touch. Fantastic. josich

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
