josedenoche Overwhelming display of emotional expression this awe-inspiring and spine-chilling post-metal masterpiece puts us into gazing in the shadowing dusk of our inner selves. An unique double-piece of doom-jazzed dirges with nostalgic poetry embellished in noir-soothing decay. Whalesong's "Leaving a Dream" will not leave you idle whilst listening. Wander adrift to each track as it bursts into raging mementos of blissful serenity empowered with fierce and fiery discharge of droning crescendos.🖤🔥🎼🌘 Favorite track: Leaving a Dream.

Michael Carter This is a massive album,as hinted at by the artwork,not as full on attack of previous album,but I think this is similar to Swans recent double albums.Walk Through Fire come to mind aswell.I am lying on the floor for the entirety of this album.This is a majestic and a mind expanding masterpiece !

Here I am 09:56
here I am torn apart here I have fallen down here I am standing now here I am dead inside here I feel void around here I am hanging down here i am with black hole in my chest here I stand lost in time here I am lost inside here I have fallen down here I am here I am here I am here I am now
6.
and I left my past all the beauty in ruins the truth is that we have never really lived and we have never really given ourselves a chance to be what we really are no more dreams for us anymore no more suffering for us all we have never really lived we have never really lived
7.
Hope 05:58
have you ever thought about the world where you never dreamed at all? where you remained dry and empty where you lost all dreams and drowned in routines what happens when we break the chains? and nothing else remains and only silence reigns but still a hope remains hope we need some hope.
8.
hear the wind blows and the sorrow that swallows you whole we struggle and struggle in the place where time stands still where the radiance of a thousand suns paints the world in flames the instant that the blade tore open the flesh the bright disk of the sun soared up and exploded behind your eyelids
9.
Ascend! 05:33
the blade reveals the heart hidden behind the shroud betrayed and reaped apart I will ascend above the clouds I drown my flesh in the blood come and see what I have become now I shall ascend ascend! ascend!
10.
Struggle 04:58
all structures collapse shatter and deform matter will transform a new form inside a storm and will perform and will not conform all structures collapse deconstruct interrupt corrupt disrupt and struggle and struggle in silence!

We are Free 08:18
we see through the clouds we wear the burial shrouds hear us loud we are free
13.
waiting... waiting... still waiting... for you... a distant memory
14.
Endless 05:39
endless... limitless... waves of hope violent and yet... eternally transparent
15.
the pieces of my heart from the ashes of my past burnt alive aghast deprived of all meaning the flesh torn apart the future deformed by the past relinquished and distorted turned into mud fading, drowning never to be released from this maze of hallucinatory dreams caged in infinite loop forever forming forever dissolving but I see the light through the wound in my chest radiant sun deformed shining bright melting the abyss so burn me now burst forth through the chest and release me so I can greet the endless silence of time
