lyrics
In pitch darkness of the night
From the sky fell lurid light
In the tempest you stood still
With a wound that will not heal.
Though the roads you took be ever sad and wrong
You still have to live and try to carry on
In unceasing search for some illusive comfort.
Refrain.
Come, for a moment forget of your doom,
See, a ray’s broken out of the gloom and cold
To the fading world.
Now when it seems that all hope is lost
And your worn-out heart's gonna burst in two
To the thread of love you hold.
And you damn yourself inside
Tears of grief you cannot hide.
Hellish power you would excel,
Strong and grim like doom itself.
In your life accursed by force severe and stern
Muster up your will and try to carry on
Though heavy be the steps of fate you hear.
Refrain.
Cherished dreams turn to dust
So a final die is cast
Your eyes depth is dark and fair
As sere leaves fly in the air.
When in life accursed your mind is ruined and torn
And there's nothing left for you to carry on
There's no force that can bereave you of the choice.
Refrain.

Music and lyrics by Elena Kanevskaya
In the Prog Archives, this is the only album from this millennium to crack the top 45 on the all time list. The lovable grognards over there can't seem to get enough of Wobbler, and neither can I. Leterren
This might be the least folky of the Wobbler releases and I wasn't sure about it at all.
After a few listens however I'm loving the inventiveness and the endless melodies, all driven along by Kristian Hultgren's wonderful percussive bass. PartTimeZombie
Big, clanging psych-rock from this Arizona outfit fuses monk-like vocals with slow-winding guitars for songs that feel like strange hymns. Bandcamp New & Notable May 2, 2016
Twitchy, effects-heavy post-punk grooves give way to psychedelic surf-rock delirium on the Toronto quartet's dreamy-yet-doomy second LP. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 25, 2024
The Brooklyn band deliver a blissful psychedelic rock album steeped in sci-fi and spirituality, awash with organs, strings, and reverb. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 23, 2021
Interesting and eclectic work from this German band. Traces of Renaissance and Curved Air give way to a modern Symphonic Prog mix with an excellent production. Paul Ronayne
