[@endryirfanie]

This song reminds us why progressive metal is the best kind of metal

[@PabloJ1968]

Absolutely!

[@TrueDeathblacK]

I respectfully disagree. The best kind of music, metal or otherwise, for an individual is the one they enjoy the most at the time. It just so happens that I lean towards progressive/doom sound the most now, it wasn't the case a few years ago, however, when my friend from HS (we're in our early 30ies so were past mid 20ies back then) used to send me links to various prog stuff, I could appreciate the music but it wasn't something I'd willingly listen in my free time, you know. I do not mean to argue but claiming "X is the best genre" or even "X metal is the best kind of metal" does sound like asking for a pretty pointless argument.

[@romain2879]

This song sounds more like a rock ballad from the 90's

[@Rose.Of.Hizaki]

This song honestly brought tears to my eyes. It reminded me of my family and I standing around my grandma's hospital bed watching as she slowly took her final breaths and drifted into the next world. A lot of family blamed themselves for her passing. Saying they could have done more, They should have spent more time with her. But life is short and thats why every moment is so important. When its time to go. Its time and nothing is going to be able to change that. We are born. We grow old. We die.

[@ezioauditore1112]

Here we are Blaming failure on the other Here we are awaiting to depart Do we care just enough to aid our brother? Do we care enough to cease the harm? With every step we take, we get further away From everything we need to reach harmony For all of us who won't linger on to pretend And everyone who follows their dreams Run away From the weights that keep you cornered Find a way to take back what is yours You and I We're depending on each other While divided, we won't hear the call Where do I heal when the river runs dry? How do I sweeten the bitter? A word decides our fate And our silence condemns Would you give us what is left of your time? Give yourself up for the others? The choices are our own But the failure we'll share The man in charge is announcing He'll be the one who saves the earth and feeds the poor And when that promise is broken The next in line with the same lies will claim the throne For every step he takes, we get further away From finding what we need to reach unity With every word he says, he condemns who we are Depriving us from reaching our dreams Where do I heal when the river runs dry? How do I sweeten the bitter? A word decides our fate And our silence condemns Would you give us what is left of your time? Give yourself up for the others? The choices are our own But the failure we'll share
