This is a special song. My original demo had a Clannad feel with a little Within Temptation flavor. And then we added metal. And Eric Peterson (Testament/Dragonlord)! The outcome was spectacular and better than we imagined! Eric's versatile vocals really make this song come alive in ways the female voice just can't. I hope we get to do more projects together in the future. Enjoy this "Dreamland".... "where the ice storms burn...and the fires blow!"
lyrics
In this dreamland, no one has to hide
I awaken and you are at my side
Then this warm summer breeze
Comes washing over me
A reverie for eternity...
Twisted in this spiral of our time...
Souls gripped in the confines of our minds...
Eternal labyrinth of the underworld...
Brings us to justice divine!
Riding the river of Archeron
No coin to recompense Charon
Here I die one thousand times
Here I wander now the shores of your lies...
In this dreamworld where the sun shines cold
Where blood runs much colder than snow
I am the Usurper between these two worlds
Now I am the King of this underworld!
Once upon a time when we were all wise, we were so strange
See the sunrise, hear the old lies, feel the clanging blades
Ancient stories, wisdom, glory, and dismay that day
It shall never be forgotten again
In this dreamland, no one has to hide
I awaken and you are at my side
Then this warm summer breeze
Comes washing over me
A reverie for eternity...
Flowing down this circular scroll
Till we enter the gates, of lamenting souls
Hold me at a distance as we're crossing paths
An echo's breath, a romance death!
In this afterworld, in the Caverns of Never!
No dreams forgotten, forgiven here...
Voices they call me, they taunt me, they haunt me!
Ceasing the torment, for a moment's mirror...
Will we see again the moon's pure light?
Will we hear the thunder, roar!
We shall sail upon the winds, of lamentation
Where the ice storms burn, and the fires blow!
Once upon a time when we were all wise, we were so strange
See the sunrise, hear the old lies, feel the clanging blades
Ancient stories, wisdom, glory, and dismay that day
It shall never be forgotten again
In this dreamland, no one has to hide
I awaken and you are at my side
Then this warm summer breeze
Comes washing over me
A reverie for eternity...

Soulstorm is a song I can’t help but imagine playing off the bow of a ship as it is swallowed by a stormy horizon. That opening solo does crazy things to my brain pballer17
