lyrics

ONCE A SHADOW

once a shadow
a hazy prediction from the past
now sings your song
now sings your song

never thought they mattered
all the crazy stories of what went down
but they sing your song
now sing your song

I have a dream of a hope that is
only the shadow of a memory
of a tiny cloud passing before the sun
yet it spreads, widens, flattens, fades

I have a dream of a hope that is
only the shadow of a memory
of a tiny cloud passing before the sun
yet it spreads, widens, flattens, fades

like all waves
like all shocks

spins and turns
angles and curves
the shape of these dreams half remembered

slip the surly bonds of this earth
and touch the face of true perfection

a perfect face
perfect lace
find the perfect world for the end of me
end of line

about

Grayceon San Francisco, California

Atypical power trio from San Francisco comprised of guitar, drums, and cello. Screaming melodic lines over distinct guitar "chunk," doom riffs, jazz chord progressions, intricate folk-like delicacies, and just about everything in between, Grayceon's sound defies the boundaries of the metal/rock/progressive genres.

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu

What a beautiful, haunting experience all around, always melts me from start to finish. Incredible and deep sound, amazing atmosphere and cohesion, unexpected jazz elements unlike anything I've heard, and don't get me started on the vocals. Really hard to choose a favorite track. dan-rod
