So glad to see you disobey your eyes
And silence the doors of pain and desolation
You’ve buried beneath the stones and found at last
An ocean worthy of adoration
Hold on
Rise through the mountains of division
Past the frightening whirlpools of derision
And trace the path for all human light
Die to see the beacon of our insight
Around the bend, let it echo through their hearts
Our new beginning is here in love
In the name of truth
In the name of choice
They're out there to forge my chain
Running for the cure, hiding from the cause
They’re mere reflections of what once had come and gone
I will be moving on while you are fighting our father’s wars
And face the evil that never stops
He got my tongue, I got the spear
Prospered on my illusion to break away
To see through the tears that are meant to breed much pain

Spires was stealthy under my radar for a decade but now had a catch up with their fantastically ambitious discography - thanks for such a cool bundle. "A Parting Gift" is a bit more introspective than 2014's "The Whisperer" but in a good way. It's still the winning balance of Extreme Metal (Death/Doom and some Blackened peaks and pits) of the proggy variety with Prog Rock's fusion of ambient and soft acoustic Folk. Great memorable songs wrapped in a polished warm production. Epic and dark! ALPHA-OMEGA
I loved this album since the first time I've heard it. Emotive, dramatic, sad, fulfill feelings, pink Floyd influences are clear although the melancholic and time to time, scarred elements created an obscure atmosphere and an own identity. A masterpiece. Ceff
