lyrics

I AM LEAVING

1. Snow on the ground, snow all around
where we buried the past and the feelings we found.
Storms in the night, prayers for light,
wishes for wonders to make wrong turn right…

CHORUS: I may long for your touch once tender
but don’t think I’ll ever surrender.
I must try the taste of living
among those warm and forgiving,
I must change the ice for fire,
see the sun and feel desire ---
Now I’m leaving….Yes,I’m leaving…Oh I’m leaving…
I am leaving.

2. Doubt in the air, mem’ries we share…
Truth or illusion? I really don’t care!
This is my way, right or astray
I’ll manage, I’ll make it or else I must pay…

CHORUS: I may long for your touch once tender
but don’t think I’ll ever surrender.
I must try the taste of living
among those warm and forgiving,
I must change the ice for fire,
see the sun and feel desire ---
Now I’m leaving… Yes, I’m leaving…Oh, I’m leaving…
I am leaving… I am leaving…

Of Despair
by Horrified

supported by 165 fans who also own “I Am Leaving”

Really awesome melodic death metal album, really clear but still gritty production, unique vocals reminiscent of At The Gates and Anders Friden in the 90s and a lot of amazing riffs. they even throw in some more dissonant songs to keep things engaging. One of my favorite modern bands and possibly my favorite album of theirs! Charlie

So good! So much to wrap your head around. Progressive with Black metal touches. Technical as hell. Not a wasted minute on this banger. Kings of Castille

Saint Etienne has surprised me with the last couple of albums. This in particular has the ability of keeping the mood for 19 tracks. Sarah's voices are perfect and the synthpop is executed with great intelligence. Long live to this trio! Corralito
