The Quest and the Curse
04:57

|||
|
Searching the skies, wonder why
So afraid I’ll never know
Wasting away here on the ground longing to soar up to great heights
The beast that preys upon me
Casting my eyes down
Within the stars
Those spheres of light
But who can find the second to the right?
So far, my Neverland
It’s the quest and the curse of us all
Reject, revoke, deny your own blame
I will now justify all you do
I am Deimos, Phobos of old days
I am the shallow grave hunting you
Hearts hunger for something more
Frightened by ghosts of our own creation
When we suffocate the aspirations that we scorn
The monster hunting me down
Will pull me under
Within the stars
Those spheres of light
But who can find the second to the right?
So far, my Neverland
It’s the quest and the curse of us all
I am despair, your dread, your fear, shame
I am the parasite deep in you
I am Deimos, Phobos of old days
I am the shallow grave hunting you
How can I find the second star to the right?
I fear that I’ve forgotten how to fly
I face my greatest enemy within
Fear of falling my lullaby
Within the stars
Those spheres of light
But who can find the second to the right?
So far, my Neverland
It’s the quest and the curse of us all

Chapter II - Legacy
by Ad Infinitum
supported by 20 fans who also own “The Quest and the Curse”
Melissa Bonny is the best symphonic female vocalist not named Floor Jansen. Sadly, Ad Infinitum chooses to throw in incomprehensible death metal growling - which I flatly can't stand. The band seems to have lost a bit of identity and direction.

The Wonders Still Awaiting
by Xandria
supported by 19 fans who also own “The Quest and the Curse”
#3 2023: "XANDRIA reborn", concerning the line-up. In terms of music it is what you expect from one of the leading symphonic metal bands. 75 minutes(!) of bombastic, dramatic, well arranged and varied female fronted metal. Each song on this long player is catchy, full of pathos and a hit, Also the new singer makes a great job and brings soul into the heavy soundscapes. A must have release for fans of this genre. Not original, but better than all Nightwash releases since "Dark Passion Play"!
