lyrics

"The shape is in the wood" said Mr. Dean, so can I reveal it?
"A poet needs more than the pen, as the physician needs more than the brains".
I beg to answer, but he is too perfect to hear
and so the smothering starts and it ain’t gentle enough.
Forgive me if I fail, I'm taking all of you with me now
because I feel it's worth our while.
I don’t want the shape, I need it, I feel it's every twist.
There are other trees, yes I know, far more distant and far more alone.
Forgive me if I fail, I'm taking all of you with me now
because I feel it's worth our while.
Don't you walk, don't throw it away.
Come with me, together we will ride this pain.
Sometimes it feels as if the wood is carving me.
It cuts the best, the only good parts of me.

Amazing music! Just found the band via YouTube and went looking for them. I'm glad music like this exists in our world. I pray there will be more soon. I bought all that was on Bandcamp! I can't get enough of this sound! Thank you Scardust for making this! wrytoaste

Sands of Time

I bought the album on vinyl basically just to have the EP on physical format, I'll be honest. This is not to say the album is bad (it is absolutely amazing) but the EP blew me away and is honestly one of the best and most versatile albums I've listened to in a while and the vocals are just insanely good. If you like ExLibris you'll love this band too, no doubt thebluemeanie

Sleep at the Edge of the Earth
by Wilderun

supported by 4 fans who also own “A Shape In The Wood”

I never cared about symphonic metal at all. I do very much care about folk as well as progressive metal, and so I couldn't resist after reading the third exceptional AMG review for Wilderun in a row. 'Sleep...' has been on my radar for quite some time, being graced by one of the most beckoning cover arts I have ever seen. The band more than lives up to its reputation, composing great musical pieces from start to finish. I absolutely love the multitude of influences being put together here. David Fischer
