Far across the endless sky
Is a soul with whom my diffidence lies
Pining a lost sense of reality
The brittle star is soothing me
You, you say you want to be free
Free from the yearning inside
To keep it alive I'll treasure this tragedy
So collapse and crumble
This is not your destruction
This is your birth
Walking through this long valley
I reach out to the sun
It burns my fingertips
Down to my palms so rough
You hold out an amethyst
And I feel the overwhelming love
You, you say you want to be free
Free from the yearning inside
To keep it alive I'll treasure this tragedy
So collapse and crumble
This is not your destruction
This is your birth
Show me something real
Something I can feel
You, you say you want to be free
Free from the yearning inside
To keep it alive I'll treasure this tragedy
So collapse and crumble
This is not your destruction
This is your birth

Aether's Eyes

Age defies the nurtured triggers
System self esteem
Scan your head and make believe
The demons that you see
Stare into the night sky
Vexation from Aether’s eyes
My throat and head ache
Ignore the callousness before you
Or open up your heart
And realize that I adore you
These fragile thoughts I hold
In my hands
Like glass are crumbling into the sand
Stare into the night sky
Vexation from Aether’s eyes
My throat and head ache
Ignore the callousness before you
Or open up your heart
And realize that I adore you
Even though I’m such a small star constellation
Thank you for finding me

Sillage

I try not to let my trinkets
Get the best of me
It's like the times that I once had
Are slipping away
I need a memory
One that ends up happily
Petrified I spiral back again
Your scent still in this room
And I can smell your perfume
Take a deep breath and hold it in
Exhale into the air
Please don't panic
You're almost there
The lock is open
Concentrate unseal
And all I do is lie here and I feel numb
Because by the time I sing this song
I know you'll be gone
Oh no please don't go

Storm's End

Carving paths through the air
Worms that burrow though the sky
Clouds curve around my bones
Form my body form my skin
And the rays of light, they no longer shine
Atmosphere runs its fingers through my hair
A soft breeze turns to violence
Pull hundreds of threads that finely line the air
Tear down the heavens, expose what isn't there
Something in the mist is pricking me
With needles that I cannot see
There's an instance of insanity
Bound together by nothing but gravity
As I reach for the sun again
Sentimentality sinking in so deep
Oh I know
Describing every moral mellow fit
That my body creates
And fear itself is concerned with the uncertainty
The universe will crush you
And the rays of light, they no longer shine
Atmosphere runs its fingers through my hair
A soft breeze turns to violence
Pull hundreds of threads that finely line the air
Tear down the heavens, expose what isn't there
Minor steps and gentle figure form behind the clouds
Wisdom take a hold of me and wake my mind somehow
My spine in segments and these hands are cut and scarred
I can feel this mourning hear
Rain
Oh my dear friend I ask of you this question
Do you need solitude to clear your mind?

Sleep at the Edge of the Earth
by Wilderun
supported by 16 fans who also own “Children of Aether and Earth”
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.

I remember hearing this album way back when it just came out, listening to it on YT on repeat. And now I have it in 2022 on CD! Excellent for fans of prog metal, with a nice balance of genres.

A beautiful journey from start to finish, with perfectly placed moments of gentility amidst the rhythmic intrigue and blast beats of their guest drummer.

Chronicles Of The Waking Dream
by Arcane
supported by 13 fans who also own “Children of Aether and Earth”
One of the best "heavy prog" or "prog metal" albums I've ever heard--right up there with Riverside's Second Life Syndrome and Porcupine Tree's incredible trilogy of Deadwing/In Absentia/Fear of a Dark Planet.
