lyrics
Future kid, oh he thought he knew
the price of love gone wrong.
It’s another warm day, just as any other.
Forced his gaze to acknowledge foreign faces.
The actors waited oh so still
behind the curtain, future kid dressed up in paper.
She hid naked behind three golden leaves.
And when it rose, skin was shed in petals,
and billions watched, but few were left to feed his disgrace.
When the kid became the Candleman,
it was all too late.
Though he never once looked back,
he knew he was alone.
The audience and the actors were gone,
like so many dead stems.
Dark and burned felt the Candleman
on his back, on the sand.
But he tossed away many a framed face,
and no one watched, as he let go of his disgrace.
But he kept the locket, though he’d lost the key,
so she’d hold him once more.
the price of love gone wrong.
It’s another warm day, just as any other.
Forced his gaze to acknowledge foreign faces.
The actors waited oh so still
behind the curtain, future kid dressed up in paper.
She hid naked behind three golden leaves.
And when it rose, skin was shed in petals,
and billions watched, but few were left to feed his disgrace.
When the kid became the Candleman,
it was all too late.
Though he never once looked back,
he knew he was alone.
The audience and the actors were gone,
like so many dead stems.
Dark and burned felt the Candleman
on his back, on the sand.
But he tossed away many a framed face,
and no one watched, as he let go of his disgrace.
But he kept the locket, though he’d lost the key,
so she’d hold him once more.

Every single member of this band is incredibly skilled in their own right, but I love how much they accentuate each other's talents into these masterful tracks. The whole album is excellent. I'm so happy they were finally able to come to my home state and perform. Incredible band, can't wait to listen to what comes next.

Epic, expansive hard rock from Perihelion that pairs post-metal expansiveness with skyscraping vocal melodies.
