A Little Treat From A Friend

A friend and I were talking the other day and he recommended a 'melodic metal' band to me.
Melodic Metal? Sounds pretty sweet, I know, so I checked out the song he told me about.
Horizons by Parkway Drive.
I've only listened to it once all the way through, but it was great. Great doesn't do it justice actually, but I've been rather strapped for good adjectives lately. (school kills my creative spirit and memory, maybe my brain in general)
Here are the lyrics, I liked the beginning best, the words are poetic and I really like how they clash and give the desired feeling. I recommend finding the song and listening to it sometime, with lyrics (unless you happen to be great at understanding screamo), and enjoy it. Think about it a little.

Horizons

So it begins

Our eyes drawn open,

Free from the thought of doubt,

Free from the selfish conflict.

Now blind these words,

Chase us.

With open arms we stand,

Before the dawn.

The sun seems to have been rising,

Ever since I can recall,

Branding a sense of permanence,

To this lying world.

Your words like icy air,

Your lies like merciless, burning flesh.

To hope for something more,

To dream of substance.

Like a martyr before us,

We need to die.

Like a martyr before us,

We dream to die.

Masochistic to think,

This would be remembered (would be remembered).

Sadistic, perpetuation

Of stagnation.

[x2]

There is nothing as empty,

As waiting to die.

We've spent our lives,

Wasting, as time eats us alive.

Your sunsets go on be-falling,

Ever since I can recall.

The only sense,

Of permanence,

In this dying world.

Sit back and watch,

As time eats us alive.

Everyone who know me,

Know me.

Destined to die,

Die.

The marks I left upon this world,

Will wash away,

in time.

In time,

And so it ends.

In time,

It all finds an end.

In time,

And so it ends.

In time,

We all find an end.

With broken arms,

And hollow eyes,

I'll wait to return to oblivion.

Embrace our last,

Empty horizon.

Embrace our last,

Empty,

Horizons.

Horizons.

Horizons.

Horizons.

I got the lyrics from darklyrics.com.

That's pretty much it, just wanted to share.

(Also, I'm stalling on a school assignment, but I suppose I should get to that :p)

Cuídate and God bless,
