dawn amber washes over all corruption
unspoken secrets hidden far from waking
downed angels rest among the willows, mourning
what lay beyond crested hills?
bleeding roses caged in thorn
sway like dancers in the breeze
meadows where the black dogs dream
under swollen, graying sky
buried, my love only grows
though in the dark, it may pale
hope to let go
pray when my eyes close, i see nothing

I've always been on the fence about Elder. The musicianship was always there but it never clicked. Omens and Innate Passage have certainly changed that. QNdNas7kQgBG5fi
I love the light and shade between Bryan's dirty and Emma's forlorn vocals. There are so many layers to this recording that are driven home through contrast. Plus the riffs are brilliant and get me moving. I can't stop listening to Thou and Emma in general lately. spaceman2250
