Through my wake
Follow me home
Dangerous thoughts of mine
Sown the seed and reaping reality
Motions bread a fearful antagony
I wasted time on a savage life
A dark human cluster of revelry
Here we sail on seas of uncertainty
Storms in tail my founder pursuing me
Is it me? Is it memory?
Do I reflect this Grey?
In the firelight
A life of black and white
Something new I forge between us two
Still the anger stirs
Red hot but cold at first
Walls of mine crash down to grant me sight
No longer silent this violence I strain to contain
Superfluous and prone to rust
It isn't fair, your choice was mine
By silhouettes, I've lived my life
In a phantom black that you deny
Another's touch and hope to clutch
An arrested sin I will begin
Stare at the wall, forget it all
Begin to believe I may yet live
A world of eyes have seen my crimes
Only I know of all of yours
Please tend these wounds
And steel my mind
I've lost my way
And I'm losing track of time
It's sinking in
These were my sins
I'll tear apart my mind to make amends
Only my centre remains
Only my temperaments fade
Only my centre remains
Only a beast left to tame

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
