"Before everything disappears
there's something you need to hear"
That's what the witch would tell me
whispering in my ear
"Say, do you know of a world that our fathers destroyed?"
"Say, do you know what I feel deep inside of the void?"
"Deathly afraid of the will of our magic's belief"
I will continue to be, til the end comes for me
"I want to be there for thee
I want to live so you'll live"
I want to end this story
For your sake and for me
"The stars will show you the way no one knows"
It makes a mess of the world, it's the Truth
"You'll get but one wish,
these thorns that claw at the end of your life
I'm not wrong, now swear on your life on this rose"
The woman approaches, her left hand unseen
"It is your time to believe"
I'll make an oath like the ones before me
It is a fate so surreal
She picks a crimson red rose from the ground
And pierces me with its thorns
"There is no blood, there's no pain, only chaos
Now surrender to the light"
There is no faith in our sin
There is no mercy within
"This spell will last you until
our task is fulfilled"
Transient the faith that we keep
It disappears in a mist
Never forget that you'll be
Sacrificed for a wish
"The stars will show you the way no one knows"
No one can get you the world, it's the Truth

So I can't leave a long enough review to say everything I want. But I will say this, I love this EP. It's a great little follow up to times, and has just enough of a dynamic shift in sound to prove that Smoulder isn't a one trick pony with their first album's formula. This one really plays up the 70s prog aspects (DUST and Manilla Road influences definitely shine through even harder here). It's still Smoulder, don't get me wrong. Just a different side in some ways, all of which are good. playfulpooka
IMHO, one of those albums that catches your attention immediately, but needs a few listens to really appreciate how great it is. Getting addicted guys, really! sachavonkarl74
