The album version of the song that has been remastered to fit with the other tracks.
lyrics
The king rode out to face his own flesh and blood,
I've seen their fates,
Though only in dreams,
I've sought to stay their hands,
Has this all been in vain?
I feel I've seen all this unfold many times before,
Yet I fail just to recall that never-ending tale of yore,
And so this final battle will happen again and again and again,
It goes on and on and on and on,
On and on and on the story goes,
On and on and on and on,
Forever on and on for me it goes,
The mist hung in trees bare,
Where two bodies lay with mortal wounds,
Though one will be saved,
And taken to the place where the trees bear fruit,
All shall be remade,
When the cycle of this legend takes place,
On and on and on and on,
Forever and on and on the story goes,
On and on and on and on,
Forever on and on for me it goes,
I accept my role eternally.

Albion is an archaic name for Great Britain used by classical scholars to refer to this cold and wet island. Some 2000 years
later in 2019, four young whippersnappers dug up the ancient term to use as the name for their new band.
At the foundation of this project would be the preservation and exposure of traditional folk music, but presented through the modern medium of metal and rock....more
I never cared about symphonic metal at all. I do very much care about folk as well as progressive metal, and so I couldn't resist after reading the third exceptional AMG review for Wilderun in a row. 'Sleep...' has been on my radar for quite some time, being graced by one of the most beckoning cover arts I have ever seen. The band more than lives up to its reputation, composing great musical pieces from start to finish. I absolutely love the multitude of influences being put together here. David Fischer
The songs are masterfully composed and flow together beautifully, and the orchestration is exactly how I want metal orchestration to sound: full, playable by a real orchestra, and just as important to the music as the vocals, drums, guitar, and bass are. tonycordeshimself
Australian band Aquilus smashes genre boundaries to smithereens, combining classical orchestration with black metal on this riveting LP. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 13, 2021
Ukranian metal band Motanka give new meaning to the word “epic,” writing towering songs that combine folk & hard rock. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 10, 2019
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
Heart, hope, and humility come together with stellar songwriting and performances to make a uniquely uplifting and wonderful power metal album. bigzoinks
