Way Without Light

Ilia Lvov A very good piece of modern progressive metal. The album instantly grabbed my attention on the first listen and still holds its value after several repeats. By contrast with many offerings in the genre, the music is not at all one-dimensional. Egor does have his own touch to writing, while he still lets the influences to shine through. Ultra-heavy 'Imperfections', nervous 'Midnight Anxiety', tranquil 'Inversion' and playful 'Apple Lake' are my personal highlights. Favorite track: Midnight Anxiety.

Go until you see the perfect star And find a way right through the dark Whatever it may be Appealed by a dream We always try to reach For perfect days without a glitch Ascending from a dive With hope to stay alive Light I saw the light but i feel fright The ghosts of war are chasing us So distant and so far A voice comes from it's heart Ascending from a dive With hope to stay alive We built our shelters Under a Godless moon For the unborn will rise

One day all mistakes will be fixed And all that's gonna stay here is a bunch of leaves Silence is a way to a zen There are two sides to this joyride we call life There are two sides to this joyride we call life Outside the field of view Moonstruck Going back and forth again Fate Fail Imperfection Imperfection Summer's light went astray Heyday's left me far behind Rain Outside the field of view Moonstruck Going back and forth again. Joyride There's nothing else But imperfection

Where're you hiding that doll That helped you when you felt all alone Now I wanna know How to melt the snow Blinded by the bright light And begging for that perfect last bite Hide inside the cave Try to feel the wave We're stuck in the middle of nowhere With no grace left behind in great despair Shortcut to the lake in the morning Is the only place where you can stay There was time when we used to crawl but now it's gone And through the darkness let the fire burn There was a line that we once crossed there's no way back Now say goodbye cause you're a living wreck Wait for the solstice to come Get three eight seven get drunk alone Beg for your last breath Die in silent place The cold days are coming back It's getting harder to stay on track Seize the day to be Once again unfree Shortcut to the lake in the morning Is the only place where you can hide There was time when we used to crawl but now it's gone And through the darkness let the fire burn There was a line that we once crossed there's no way back Now say goodbye cause you're a living wreck There was time when we used to crawl but now it's gone And through the darkness let the fire burn There was a line that we once crossed there's no way back Now say goodbye cause you're a living wreck

Sometimes i wonder when I walk across the lake If there's a true love that will bring the light to the darkness of my days And I don't believe that karma wants to punish me I guess it's all wrong but who does even care when it comes to being free Nothing is eternal just like a rainbow after rain it goes away Away Somewhere there's a place in life where fragments of my mind are not apart But whole And it's all gone now all your sins are here All these years have passed like a day Nothing makes any sense when you're caged in your own tense There i go to the lake once again Back home Turns out it wasn't alter-ego that once died How far you want to go with that darkest state of your sick and twisted mind Now it's been three weeks since you lost your deity I guess it's all wrong but who does even care when it comes to being free Nothing is eternal just like a rainbow after rain it goes away Away Somewhere there's a place in life where fragments of my mind are not apart But whole And it's all gone now all your sins are here All these years have passed like a day Nothing makes any sense when you're caged in your own tense There i go to the lake once again Back home No matter how i try to run away i end up here No matter how i try to keep it clean My ghosts would find a way to bring me back where i belong My mind will always ruin it for me And it's all gone now all your sins are here All these years have passed like a day Nothing makes any sense when you're caged in your own tense There i go to the lake once again Back home

She's climbing up that hill While thinking about to reveal The screaming voice from inside That one that they don't care about. Tired of been locked within her hands Buried inside this wicked shell Trying to break free from the cell Sick of the storm that rising up The moon that shines throughout the night Makes her feel that she's alive Remember the sky that once was bright Whispers of those who held you tight You just need someone by your side The one who can lead you to the light He feels like he is Aqualung Who sits on a bench in park Without bad intent he eyes Before reaching for the skies Sick of the storm that rising up The moon that shines throughout the night Makes her feel that she's alive Remember the sky that once was bright Whispers of those who held you tight You just need someone by your side The one who can lead you to the light Remember the sky that once was bright Whispers of those who held you tight You just need someone by your side The one who can lead you to the light

about

"This album practically screams its influences in your face, but there are so damn many that it still sounds incredibly fresh. It’s an honorable mix of old and new school prog metal with an ambitiously epic sound. Using a collection of guest vocalists gives the album a bit of that Ayreon feel and prevents any song from sounding like a clone of the last. This guy clearly has an ear for this type of composition, and while not much new is invented, it’s pretty fun to listen to a love letter to the genre. If you know the prog scene well, you’re likely to recognize a new reference every minute or so, but the big ones are Dream Theater and Devin Townsend."
