lyrics
Deep in a long forgotten land
Away from desire and sight
In a garden of eternal bloom
Forever in silence
Once was briefly seen
In the rays of a paling gleam
The Enchantress of the wild
The Mistress of wonders
Bringer of war and despair
Designed as a mortal, ensnared
Could your blinded eyes see
The light of a diamond
I will drown in the fountain of youth
Smothered by the forbidden fruit
Wake me from life
Take me to heaven
I belong in the remains
Deep in the mountains
In the land of the rising, blazing sun
Away from desire and sight
In a garden of eternal bloom
Forever in silence
Once was briefly seen
In the rays of a paling gleam
The Enchantress of the wild
The Mistress of wonders
Bringer of war and despair
Designed as a mortal, ensnared
Could your blinded eyes see
The light of a diamond
I will drown in the fountain of youth
Smothered by the forbidden fruit
Wake me from life
Take me to heaven
I belong in the remains
Deep in the mountains
In the land of the rising, blazing sun

Veil of Imagination
by Wilderunsupported by 178 fans who also own “The Keeper of Shangri-La”
The songs are masterfully composed and flow together beautifully, and the orchestration is exactly how I want metal orchestration to sound: full, playable by a real orchestra, and just as important to the music as the vocals, drums, guitar, and bass are.

Sleep at the Edge of the Earth
by Wilderunsupported by 170 fans who also own “The Keeper of Shangri-La”
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.
