All this time away at sea
Torn between the loves of my life
Point me south when my journey's done
Imagine me close to home, will you
But navigate until then
We must sail on
Cover my eyes and paint me a picture
Show me a place I want to be
Feeling surprise, it's not what I pictured
A garden of thorns like nothing I've seen
If I never come back again
It's because I faced the reckoning
The way to New Monta is here
A nation of legend and force
But first we must leave Trader's Isle
And make our way through the dawn
Dancing on a sea so still
Calming is the night I feel
Humbled witness to all things I long for and...
Oh, midnight on a sea so still
The world has never been so real
One wrong turn and we're all going down
Our hearts run aground
But faith will not falter
Hold tight when the wind starts to howl
Keep eyes on the bow
We'll all come out somehow
Cover my eye and paint me a picture
Show me a place I want to be
I found a place it looks like your picture
But I feel that I'm lost, now that I'm here

Fantastic new offering from Sean Thompson and company. I hear some echoes of Odd Logic in there, but this is definitely a new sound that feels more melodic than Odd Logic and is very excellent. I'll be jamming this album a lot. Andrew Witt

An impressive work of progressive metal, seems initially to be taken out of the best moments of the genre’s behemoths (Fates Warning, Dream Theater). However, with enough distinction and personality, featuring Greek folk elements here and there, the musicianship mastery of the band members make tracks like Nemmortal, Norchestrion and Circadian, bright jewels for the genre and for metal in general. A must have album!!! Hetairos Hekateros
The Long Island metal band's third album etches arena-sized hooks into their jagged compositions, deftly balancing experimental and poppy inclinations. Bandcamp Album of the Day May 12, 2022

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. tonycordeshimself
