THE SILENT ENIGMA
(7th track from the homonym album, 1995)
Lyrics:
In dreamland grandeur
I held mesmerized peace
Innocence breathed again
A mind's escape
Leave walls of tears behind
Ethereal vision haunting still...
The solitude left me blind
Beneath an open sky
Sibilant cries of youth dying
Enslave me with grief
A moonlit era, oblivion's twilight kiss
Wishes in lament
Happiness in a broken vision
Utopia still unborn...
Tormented echoes of a fallen Eden
I longed for her beauty
Yet from dust, she returned
The dream, an enigma... silent

@Dolorosakil I like Lamb of God but not Slipknot, but im pretty much talking to those who say the quality of music isn't as good as modern metal. actually seeing LoG live next week

Their best album is The Silent Enigma.
But their music changed. I don't like new Anathema.
They lost their soul.
-
The dream! an enigma......... silent.
-
I think their last album is their best record to date, both musically and lyrically. they've evolved enormously!
and their latest release Falling deeper is also another one to leave you impressed

To all the people listening to this and saying it's bad. It's not the upbeat death metal you hear very often today, no. If you notice, this is in 1995. Recording was analog and not digital; so yeah, the quality isn't as perfect as lamb of God or Shitty Slipknot. The vocals seem not so great. He's speaking it with a tone, to reflect on the lyrics...kinda like poetry. I'm not a HUGE fan of the vocals. I like his singing voice alot, but I appreciate the music and lyrics for sure.
