[TheMaddestofLads]

This song is like an epitaph carved onto the tomb of a respected local hero. I wish that it would get the attention it deserves.

[mollysheehan]

I don't understand why this song isn't as popular as some of the others on the album (although every song on this album is marvelous and beautiful) but this one despite the fact that I've listened to it dozens of times still moves me to tears and gives me goosebumps when I listen to it.

[genossestampede]

Gods I call to thee
Grant me life and strength
And if my strength should fail
Grant me force of will
Should my will be broke
Grant me light and hope
And if my hope recedes
Give me death and peace

On that autumn day
I met an old friend
With her hand in mine
We sat and talked a while
As the hour grew late
She spoke of a quiet place
Where the gods will hear your prayer
I will take you there

[hardrockerofsoccer]

I want this song played at my funeral.

[alx_p_]

That acoustic intro is one of the best thing i've heard since a long time
Thank you Aether Realm for putting that kind of stuff in death metal, it makes my day every time

[franciscobray]

The band asked me not to read this, but damn it, I wrote it and it's the truth.
I F#$%ING LOVE THIS BAND.
THIS IS THE BEST BAND EVER. PERIOD.

[lastwymsi]

This song is what I put on to get through tough times. I sing the prayer to myself and recenter somewhat, honestly it's probably stopped me from taking a few dangerous dives in all seriousness. Thankyou.

[StrngSide]

This song and band is so slept on. I adore Temperance and it never fails to get me emotional.

[xarris]

this whole album is so good but the atmosphere in this song and also the devil is so good

[mattlewinski]

This is what separates good metal from the rest. I feel like aether realm takes their time. They know how to construct a great melody. The sun the moon the star is also just a massive testament to their ability to build something beutiful

Hey Aether Realm,
I've been listening to your album since the moment it came out.
I love it.
I love _everything_ about it.
Every single song is so wonderfully crafted, and every song feels like an entirely new journey on its own.
Best. Fucking. Band. Ever.

Lyrics:


Gods I call to thee
Grant me life and strength
And if my strength should fail
Grant me force of will
Should my will be broke
Grant me light and hope
And If my hope recedes
Give me death and peace

On that autumn day
I met an old friend
With her hand in mine
We sat and talked a while
As the hour grew late
She spoke of a quiet place
Where the gods will hear your prayer
I will take you there

Gods I call to thee
Grant me life and strength
If my strength should fail
Give me force of will
If my will should brake
Grant me light and hope
When my hope recedes
Give me death

Gods I call to thee
Grant me life and strength
If my strength should fail
Give me force of will
If my Will should brake
Grant me light and hope
and when hope recedes
Amen

Stumbled upon this after Youtube recommended it to me more than a handful of times. Decided to try for curiosity's sake.

Boy, do I regret not heeding the recommendation earlier. What an amazing song.

[johannfowl]

this was the first AR song I listened to, my introduction to this amazing band

[obiwanda]

I just realize this song absolutely nails the atmosphere that Equilibrium lately have been busy ruining their sound trying to get to. Funny how good it is when done properly by another band, instead of marking the demise of a favorite

[dand]

I'm not sure if Aether World's still reads their comments on these songs as this album is fairly old now but all the same... This shit is superb. The pause between the light, poetic opening, contrasted by the deep bellowing. It's all so perfect.

[marcosreloaded]

this song is so beautiful, you are an amazing band.
greetings from Argentina

This song and Guardian are two of the few songs that feed my spirit right now. Thank you guys ❤

[hireslehibousacre]

I listen this masterpiece when I read berserk. It taste good

[_KroW_]

Man when Tarot came out i thought it was really good but now listening to it again I realized that there's just something more to it and something special about this album and this band. I'd even go as far to say you guys are my new favorite band.
