lyrics

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

Sleep at the Edge of the Earth
by Wilderun

supported by 16 fans who also own “Brittle Star”

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

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. PunkGalFury

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. wafiii
