Borealis - 'Ashes Turn To Rain' (feat. Lynsey Ward)

The Sunrise
The fire is burning
I can see the leaves fall
I am alone inside

I reach out
My tears keep on falling
I look into the dark sky
The Devils hand is mine

I will hold on
To the life that I remember
Take me home
Tonight

There’s Darkness
I am cold and I am tired
I can hear them calling me
I can see them rise

My last song
My life is turning
I can feel the embers
Burning me inside

I will hold on
To the life that I remember
Take me home

I say goodbye
To the life I had
I fall asleep, and fade away

I will find
A better place to run
A better place to run

My fight is over
My eyes are getting tired
The smell of smoke is in the air

I can feel the River
Wash away my sins
I lay my head down
And drift away

Ο έκτος "ολοκληρωμένος" δίσκος των Borealis βρίσκεται ήδη εκεί έξω. Ο διάδοχος του album "The Offering" (Μάρτιος 2018) των Καναδών metallers τιτλοφορείται "Illusions" και κυκλοφόρησε προ μηνός. Οι Borealis δημιουργήθηκαν πριν από 17 χρόνια, κινούνται στο φάσμα του μελωδικού power metal και δηλώνουν ως επιρροές μπάντες όπως οι Sonata Arctica, Evergrey, Kamelot, Nightwish, Nocturnal Rites κλπ.

Borealis: «We are so excited to release this new record, considering how long it’s been and what the world has been through over the last two years! With the extra time we had with this one, we feel like these are some of the best songs we’ve ever written. Some of the songs were written way back in 2019 so we’ve had time to really perfect them.»
