lyrics

I.

Will the king play the fool for a day
For his sake, for his kingdom, for man
Does the horse hurl away its rider
Who's strolling through life without a plan
Will the rich rest on top of their glory
On a journey over the snows
Is a confession a part of the story
When a new life begins to show
Only those in jest will know.

Are we deaf to the creature of the land
Whose voice is lost between the trees
Are the limits of our understanding
Pale dividing lines absorbed in seas
Where are those who in the dawn
Dress in antlers and begin to row
Will the end, tell us the tale
Or simply merge us in the flow
Only those in jest will know.

II.

A prison keeps us grounded
It is a room, with no door
The wall is being pounded
And we lie, on the floor

Although there is no door,
We try to see
To nurture our minds
In silence and confusion
We are left inside alone

III.

The king dressed in white antlers
The horse denied its rider
The rich were frozen in the snows
The confession, a part of the show
The creature spoke inside their minds
Pillars formed up from the seas
In the dawn those truths were mine
And the end enclosed me
Transcending time

Sleep at the Edge of the Earth
by Wilderun

supported by 61 fans who also own “Fool of White Antlers”

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

Veil of Imagination
by Wilderun

supported by 55 fans who also own “Fool of White Antlers”

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
