A dead man walks amongst a lush and fertile atmosphere
Beauty whirls around him
Still he’s suffocates with drear
Ripping down the curtains in his path to see more clear
Praying for this soul degraded
A stratospheric puzzle unsolved in the mind
A vacant figure is what’s left behind
Does your reflection make you scream?
Neglecting pieces of what’s meant to be
A jaded fool
Dejected phantom
You are replaced by wasted years
You are engraved
By your own deception
Leaving no trace, only wasted years
Lingering to serve a void
A world of black and white
Cursing streets among him
Though never catching sight
Viciously digest the quest
Of Skin, bone and sin
Praying for, a soul once lived in
A stratospheric puzzle unsolved in the mind
A vacant figure is what’s left behind
Does your reflection make you scream?
Neglecting pieces of what’s meant to be
A jaded fool
Dejected phantom
You are replaced by wasted years
You are engraved
By your own deception
Leaving no trace, only wasted years
You are the phantom of these wasted years
You walk these street with worn out wander
A wretched crowned phantom
Of all these wasted years
A sovereign claimed phantom in state of thrall
You are the guide to an absent mind
A ghost confined with rusted hands of time
You stand in the way of yourself
As you rise and fall
Melodic / Power Metal perfection! Not typical Power Metal - UTA does it their way. Melodic + Power + good 'ol traditional rock/metal. Everything is so catchy and melodic, and it rocks! Brittney's voice does slay -- maybe the perfect metal frontwoman. metaltyger
"old-school death", they said.
while in many ways, that could be said about "echoes of the soul", this album musically has so much more to offer. it is melodic, has some BM elements, and the solos are breathtaking.
i was surprised & delighted & this quickly became one of my favourite albums.
the lyrics' socio-political messages & the spirituality & the depths of feeling & of being human are all things i can really,really connect to. there's a kind of empathy that is often elsewhere absent. frög
I‘m listening to these guys since Rasen. Those haunting melodies are insane. Lyrical masterpieces from the beginning to the end. Atmospheric, melodic death metal. Truly a death metal experience! Sælzer Bub
I loved this bands 1st album. Sadly, for me, this one is quite dull. Flat sounding Death Metal.
Pains me to say this actually. Sophomore Jinx. Need to go buy me another album to get over it. Ha! S.B.Norton
