lyrics
Call of the wind
I never questioned your origin
A gentle breeze born from a distant storm
Reverse of the butterflies wings
What begins in chaos now
Only reaches me in gentle ripples
No disturbance in my world
But as I follow the path away
I see that everything was masked to me
All covered endlessly behind my own eyes
I've been a slave to this paradigm
Deceived of true perception
A lie that permeates within
Even a flawless image
Bears scars beyond the frame
Do I pull the thread that holds me
Unravel conscious ties
There is no future waiting
Best to breed the lie
But when the curtain falls away
There is nothing left to save
Chorus
Yet in the darkest of nights I see a light
Buried deep inside
In the ruins of my burdened and fractured mind
Hidden from the world outside
I return to a place beyond this life
To a perfect dystopia
The hands of time once broken
Remained in the cyclical
Their were no blacks birds overhead
Haunting me with their dismal songs
Living inside a fool's paradise
Blind to the truth just beyond
But as I follow the path away
I see that everything was masked to me
All covered endlessly behind my own eyes
I've been a slave to this paradigm
Chorus
I never questioned your origin
A gentle breeze born from a distant storm
Reverse of the butterflies wings
What begins in chaos now
Only reaches me in gentle ripples
No disturbance in my world
But as I follow the path away
I see that everything was masked to me
All covered endlessly behind my own eyes
I've been a slave to this paradigm
Deceived of true perception
A lie that permeates within
Even a flawless image
Bears scars beyond the frame
Do I pull the thread that holds me
Unravel conscious ties
There is no future waiting
Best to breed the lie
But when the curtain falls away
There is nothing left to save
Chorus
Yet in the darkest of nights I see a light
Buried deep inside
In the ruins of my burdened and fractured mind
Hidden from the world outside
I return to a place beyond this life
To a perfect dystopia
The hands of time once broken
Remained in the cyclical
Their were no blacks birds overhead
Haunting me with their dismal songs
Living inside a fool's paradise
Blind to the truth just beyond
But as I follow the path away
I see that everything was masked to me
All covered endlessly behind my own eyes
I've been a slave to this paradigm
Chorus

A Giant Bound to Fall
by ETERNAL STORMsupported by 20 fans who also own “A Perfect Dystopia”
This album is a huge step up from their previous one, which is saying a lot because that one was really good. I fully believe that, with this release, Eternal Storm stands on the same level as the bands they're clearly inspired by.

One of the only bands whose beat blasts through your headphone and still sounds melodic. What an album! And there's more but I'll leave you to it!

This band has skyrocketed into my top 10 and there's no doubt why. How can one be as consistent and heavy as them?
