about

This single came about originally as an instrumental demo written in 2017. The track features technical guitar work centred around an orchestral backing with all the drive and grit that a metalcore song brings.

Angelic vocal harmonies provided by symphonic metal band Edenveil helped Far From Refuge merge numerous genres to create a sound that is sonically unique and coherent.

Influences such as Architects, Periphery and Deftones were large inspirations in the writing of the song.

Lyrically, the song deals with themes of lost love and regret, from the viewpoint of one who has returned to a home that was left broken, romanticizing the past.

All the instruments and vocals were recorded in house by Far From Refuge.

lyrics

Beyond the fading sun
Beyond the fading sun

Here again, so close to home
Remember the sins of my past
Before a life unknown to me
Embrace the demon inside to see
Questions I dare not ask
Seek my steps on the path less taken
I stand and wait
Of my soul enthroned by love
All my hatred remains

What was sacred
Lies forsaken
I’m a prisoner
Of broken dreams
For my treason
Beg forgiveness
Sinking deeper
In to misery

Step back to the soul of creation
How we longed to be free
Ignorant
Within an odyssey
Lacerate
These haunted memories

A Lost moon when the sun has departed
I wait for you in the shifting sands
The price I paid for my ascension
King for a heartless land

Beyond the fading sun
Beyond the fading sun
