I Proceed alone
Holding Horus in my right hand
Burnt Argus made of stone
Offer a disguised hand in friendship
It starts with titans discarding their bonds
Your shrewd rolling tongues will assure me no wrong
Is darkness coiled or is it killed by the light
Alone in lies I abjure
Beyond the pantheon I dare not turn round
A view in shadows
Concession with darkness in dreams I dare not forget
I alter the covenant
Your judgement is fuelling these doubts and fears
With faith in monstrosities
We usher the dawn of our bright ideas
On time to meet with the exodus
(Burning Emblem
Whispers Chaos
Transform vessel
Behold a God)
Tearing me at my seems
You know it's not enough
Order was all we had
Until his final bluff
Your familiar stare
Into the eyes of the serpentine
Strip good and bad away
Portrait in blood and bone
Masters of mine
Asserting their judgement failed
Through visions veiled
Worthy to be worshipped
And knowledge unknown if you'll join me
(Serve me)
Prophet you know, don't you
It is not as it seems and it frightens you
(Frightens you)
Skies clear above me
Surrounded by our burning blades

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

Perhaps a softer, more “pop-forward” album compared to Inmazes and Witness however equally as effective. Vola simply know how to make approachable and great music. 8/10 RJ
