Lyrics are as follows:

I was created to walk the soil of the earth
And I will wander until the night has swallowed the sun
Then I will enter a dimension beyond humanity

I am the thunder; the roaring beast of nature
I am the lightning; the one that ignites your every soul
I am all of everything, and everything is to discover...

As a side note, I strongly recommend watching this video in MPEG-4 H.264 as opposed to the lower quality FLV, as the sound quality suffers greatly in FLV form. Most songs manage to sound alright with the reduced quality, but for a song such as this one that focuses largely on intricate guitar harmonies as opposed to prominent lead melodies and such, the loss of clarity that comes with the reduction in quality effects this song more so than many others.

Real melodic death metal. Put a tear in my eye.

[ShadesOfFall]

@jk47hm4 Yeah, truly emotional melodeath (I'm referring to non-gay "emo" type emotionalism, of course) is more or less dead.

[myhigherpie2]

a true, overlooked gem in the now stagnant melodic death metal genre.

memorable riffs!! very melancolic 1:36-1:57 and when he screams i feel true sorrow.. damn..4:04-4:16 and the final part of the song....leave me in hate and truly some day will be discover the answer to all...sorry my english is a shit!

@vincentjurg I`ve been giving some thought about this man.The reasons are many.Melodeath had an ill fate from the beginning.Deriving from the brutal and pure death genre is considered by many a blasphemy to it`s ancestor.The motivation or explanation for this I do not know and I really don`t give a fuck about it.Lots of them consider Melodeath to be some kind of childish gay shit compared to the the what they see as true death metal...( Death, Cannibal Corpse,Morbid Angel...etc)..

[vincentjurg]

@sldsaxkihc It really is. I'm really looking for old school melodeath nowadays. Kind of in the vein of The Gallery. This and Insomnium is the closest I've come to it. Nowadays it's just fucking gay. I'm sure Dark Tranquillity, In Flames and At The Gates never meant it to be like that. Old school Melodeath is just being forgotten. Sad.

AWESOME MUSIC!!

[sldsaxkihc]

great song indeed...it`s hard to find melodeath like these this days and from these comments here I can see that I`m not the only one thinking that this genre is going down the drain.

perfect last stand music

[7vgitz]

ugh! i forgot all about this song!! these guys were so amazing. i think this is one of the moodiest songs ever written. i used to crank this on a summer night, driving with the top down in my alfa spider. :)

[Lekiwi33]

i prefer metal where it is...in the shade of the music business because popularity comes with commercialization of the band...but in this case i just wish record labels would be more open minded these days, this band really deserved the attention of the metal media, a shame that they have split up

[Retrox13]

I wish Melodic death metal was still like this.

[THEGATHERING20]

Probably the best song in the world? not sure but either way im proud to call my self a melodic death metal fan and wouldnt change it for anything and im sure a lot if you metal heads feel the same.
