Второй альбом британских дум-металлистов получился несколько интересней, чем дебютник. Несмотря на то, что записан он был всего за 2 дня (!), качество записи и сведения весьма неплохое. Гитары прописаны замечательно, встречаются красивые атмосферные соло. Ян Аркли (ex-Seventh Angel) исполнил многие партии вокала чистым голосом, на мой взгляд, это у него получается лучше, чем гроулить. Мелани Болтон поет на полностью акустических треках "Broken Bonds" и "Our Eden", причем ощутимо лучше, чем на дебютнике, но на шедевр все равно не тянет. Клавишные встречаются редко. В целом, альбом неплох и, возможно, понравится любителям «Невесты», хотя до альбомов британских монстров этому релизу очень далеко. |

Your Caress
Beauty in your eyes
Kindness in your heart
And the warmth of your caress
Tears me apart
Beauty in your eyes
The depth that you unfold
All the love that you posses
Tears at my soul
The distance I've created
And lost the things so precious
Without the care so deeply needed time and again forgiven
How could I expect you just to forget
Words are insufficient
Hard enough to accept
Except you are still everything to me
Beauty in your eyes
Kindness in your heart
And the warmth of your caress
Tears me apart
Beauty in your eyes
The depth that you unfold
All the love that you posses
Tears at my soul
The distance I've created
And lost the things so precious
And if we go our seperate ways will the depths we shared be lost
A lifetime of regrets is all we can expect
Is there no solution
Is it something we accept
Except you are still everything to me
Beauty in your eyes
Kindness in your heart
And the warmth of your caress
Tears me apart
Tear me apart
I wish I could return and undo the harm I've done
I wish I could come back and replace those things destroyed
I wish we could come back and live again all that has died
But where can we go now my darling
Both alone apart inside
I wish I could return and undo the harm I've done
I wish I could come back and replace those things destroyed
I wish we could come back and live again all that has died
But where can we go now my darling
Both alone apart inside
In Empty Eyes
Why has beauty died
The world has made it all so ugly
Where has love gone
The depth we once knew is now so shallow
Why has beauty died
Where has love gone
Where has purity flown
The world's corrupted seeds are sown
As love is twisted in ugly shame
So many innocent feel the pain
Where has purity flown
Where has love gone
As we see the broken lives
Can we love again
World of pain in empty eyes
Looking out in vain
Can we love again
Return to live in truth and beauty
Purity still remains
For those who look to christ and see
Can we love again
Purity still remains
As we see the broken lives
Can we love again
World of pain in empty eyes
Looking out in vain
As we see the broken lives
Can we love again
World of pain in empty eyes
Looking out in vain
My Reflection
You took much more than you'll ever know
Do you remember all those years ago
The stolen trust the lies the fear
Pain you've sown
Memories never let her go
Threw away her innocence she's torn apart inside
You filled this life with emptiness and snatched away her pride
Here she is with little left of who she used to be
Crying in my arms she said
I see my reflection and hate what I see
You threw away her innocence she's torn apart inside
You filled this life with emptiness and snatched away her pride
Here she is with little left of who she used to be
Crying in my arms she said
I see my reflection and hate what I see
All those things you've taken
They can never be replaced
Twisted in your filthiness polluted and depraved
If you could see the scars you've left
Would you tie that millstone around your neck
And throw your selfish life away
Would you throw your selfish life away
Twisted in your filthiness polluted and depraved
If you could see the scars you've left
Would you tie that millstone around your neck
Here she is with little left of who she used to be
Crying in my arms she said
I see my reflection and hate what I see
All those things you've taken
They can never be replaced
You took much more than you'll ever know
Do you remember all those years ago
The stolen trust the lies the fear
The pain you've sown
Memories never let her go
Years of nightmares
Years of disgust
Self loathing
I pray for healing
Years of nightmares
Years of disgust
Self loathing
I pray for healing
Years of nightmares
Years of disgust
Self loathing
I pray for healing
Years of nightmares
Years of disgust
Self loathing
I pray for healing
I pray for healing
I pray for healing
From This Cage
My body aches my mind is numb
Is this the way we all become
Lost again with no direction
Broken by this spiritual infection
Broken by this spiritual infection yeah
I'm going down in frustration again
Falling apart is it too late to change
I've been staring outwards from this cage
But looking inward seems impossible at this stage
Lift me up
Strength is slipping away
Nothing feels like it used to now
It seems too far away somehow
As slowly life is turning cold
I wait untill it all unfolds
My body aches my mind is numb
See this fool that I've become
Words of healing you have spoken
Still I'm feeling weak and broken
Still I'm feeling weak and broken
Lift me up
Take this weight from me
Break this curse
Put your strength within me
Our Eden
Walk again with me
Through the garden
Take my hand
Come away with me
And remember when we walked this way before
One summer
Do you still believe
Do you still remember
Walk again with me
See the beauty
Take my hand
Without the pain
And remember when we walked this way before
In innocence
Do you still believe
Can we ever really return to our eden
Through The Vale
Only you precious one stayed when all else was gone
To be with me again and again
Sheltered from this chilling rain draw near me now
I share your pain come away run with me
Eternity stretches before us as we make our way
Resting for a while in each others arms
Lifting you up I will carry you until you wake
When morning breaks take my hand walk with me
Be with me forever never turn away
Be with me for evermore
Never turn turn away now we've come this far
And it's all worth living for
You were all I had in my world torn apart
You are all I'll ever need
You gave hope to me when my hope was gone
Now we run together through the darkest night
The morning star that lights the way beckons us through weary days
Through the vale of the bleakest winter
A million miles we've travelled with a million more ahead
Every path you tread I will never leave your side
When you see the journey's end and feel the strength to run again
All the pain is just a memory
Look and see how far we've come
Draw near to me
The battles won
Finally we can be free
