You invite me to dance
Spinning world in front of my eyes
Then the time seems to stop
Now I'm feeling complete, I worship you
When you're gone, I'm in pain
I am down on my knees, begging for more
When you are here, smiling at me
We fly to places unseen, silently
You're my friend and I'm in control
My denial is my fall you see
I'm decieved by the demon in green
I have blood in my eyes yet peace in mind
Peace in mind
Cold pearls of sweat, starving will
See my rotting portrait, dying will
Drowning in vain, gasping for air
Seduced by your sweet taste, the demon in green
You're my friend and I'm in control
My denial is my fall you see
I'm decieved by the demon in green
I have blood in my eyes yet peace in mind
epic, pastoral doom that yet radiates with the sadness and anguish of the abused. a powerful, moving work - if only the band had a different name... risottoeater
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
If Elric had a soundtrack it would be this. It's everything you want from a epic metal album. Like a hot poker in the eye, but in a good way. Scott Malthouse
