Sælzer Bub Harder and faster than the first part. It’s this beautiful angelic voice which make this wohle thing so special. I'm glad I found LFR on Bandcamp.

Ada Valentine Literally in love with all of this music, I've been listening almost nonstop ❤️ Favorite track: Nightfall.

Drachensturm This is a dream album for me, my jaw is still on the floor. Absolute perfection in every way. The most exciting band I've heard possibly ever. Favorite track: We Are Ash in the Wind.

warchrist30 Shorter and punchier songs than the first part, but led to stronger harmonies between vocals and instruments. Overall, a worthy companion to the nigh flawless part 1. Favorite track: Nightfall.

Grevlar This album is like one great song. My favorite sections r from Deny the only road through darkest moon but really it all is incredible. Vocals r amazing and piano also. Also some sections r extremely intense and lyrics r poetic. Honestly what r the major labels doing. The song Nightfall alone is a hit just waiting.

Warangelic Technical death metal but instead of harsh vocals, it's a beautiful singing voice. You would recognize this sound easily, and you will love it. Favorite track: Legacy of a Songbird.

So volatile Never asleep So precious yet You just can’t keep The promise of Eternity Only entails Uncertainty They come and go All those around They think they know I watch them drown Slow Down The veil It Falls Too fast I don’t Want to Believe You’ll Only Deceive me Slow Down The veil It Falls Too fast I don’t Want to Believe You’ll Only Deceive me
2.	Time and Surrender 03:29	lyrics	buy track
I fear the night haze When I am sleeping I feel its cold gaze It withers away When I am dreaming Painless decay Wake up screaming Drenched in sweat I will not Surrender now I do not have doubt It’s not my time I’m not believing in you I’ll not surrender now Off my mind I’m not believing in you I’m not believing in you Newfound obsessions That eat my mind With silent questions I feel its claws Ripping through me Enclosing walls Wake up screaming Drenched in sweat I will not Surrender now I do not have doubt It’s not my time I’m not believing in you I’ll not surrender now Off my mind I’m not believing in you I’m not believing in you I beg you to stop I beg you to go Leave my thoughts Leave my thoughts at once I beg you to stop I beg you to die Leave my thoughts Leave my thoughts at once
3.	Awake 02:12	lyrics	buy track
Around my neck I feel the grip The changing times Another script I can’t keep my eyes Closed anymore Awake I feel awake and broken No escape I’ll be forgotten Sleepless nights Feeling the weight These blinding lights Have sealed my fate I can’t keep my voice Silent anymore Infectious ash Inside my heart Withering me Back to the dark Is there no way out For me anymore? Awake I feel awake and broken No escape I’ll be forgotten
4.	Deny the Only Road 02:33	lyrics	buy track
What does it matter if the end Is getting closer every day? Everything that we hold dear Time will take it all away Everything will turn to dust Like the choices that we make Is it worth it to adjust? Do I give or do I take? I don’t need this In my life One hundred steps Past the line But we do See the bones That lie beneath All empty thrones Have I done all that I could In this rock that we call home? Have I seen what I was meant to Will I end it alone? I can feel that I am changing But not like those around Everything is going somewhere But I feel I will drown My obsession I will hide it This repression I will burn it in Deny my feelings Deny the only road Designed to keep me Away from what I want Deny your warnings Deny my only path Designed to keep me Gone away at last It’s not worth it All my pain Nothing of you Will remain Don’t you see All the bones That lie beneath Those empty thrones It’s out of my control Can’t accept it Out of my control I’ll reject it Out of my control I’ll neglect it I can’t lose control My obsession I will hide it This repression I will burn it in Deny my feelings Deny the only road Designed to keep me Away from what I want Deny your warnings Deny my only path Designed to keep me Gone away at last Let me be Freeze me cold Deny all I’ve been told Take my time Turn it back Don’t let me Fade to black
5.	Aging Skin 01:48	lyrics	buy track
All the lines In my face Getting deeper Can’t embrace Moments lived Meaning lost Is there more Than what I’ve got Knowledge that I thought I had Replaced by what I don’t understand Am I crazy? Part of the past Am I too slow Or just too fast? World that I Thought I knew Where have you gone? Can I start Over new? Give me a new dawn
6.	We Are Ash in the Wind 03:00	lyrics	buy track
I won’t beg No more I’m not on my knees I won’t say No words I shall halt my dreams A mind that is so restless What shall become of it Eyes are turning faithless Light is plummeting I won’t hear No voice I can barely scream myself I won’t leave No stone That hasn’t been unturned A body that is crumbling Ever closer to the grave A conscience that is numbing Yet still brings you all the pain I’ll keep my fears on the edge Keep my anger within Screaming until out of breath Can’t keep it all within Are we all left for dead? Ashes gone with the wind Replaced by who comes ahead We’re ashes gone with the wind From flesh to ashes Back to nothing From flesh to ashes We are nothing I’ll keep my fears on the edge Keep my anger within Screaming until out of breath Can’t keep it all within Are we all left for dead? Ashes gone with the wind Replaced by who comes ahead We’re ashes gone with the wind
7.	Nightfall 03:55	lyrics	buy track
The changes in my skin Remind me of the nightfall Flowing down the last stream Echoing the final call The changes in my dreams Remind me of the nightfall Drinking from the last stream Echoing the final call I want to but I don’t belong In this world that I have met Eyes on me, I feel alone In this world that I’ll forget The changes in my skin Remind me of the nightfall Flowing down the last stream Echoing the final call The changes in my dreams Remind me of the nightfall Drinking from the last stream Echoing the final call Breathe it in, don’t let go Don’t become what you don’t know Am I really on my own? Is there really just one show? The changes in my skin Remind me of the nightfall Flowing down the last stream Echoing the final call The changes in my dreams Remind me of the nightfall Drinking from the last stream Echoing the final call

9.	Stairway to Perfection 04:36	lyrics	buy track
Falling leaves, wither away Tell me more of what’s to come A new world, an early grave Something else to keep me numb Petals go from rose to dark As I watch them disappear Beauty gone, torn apart Filling my mind with fear What are they? Are they foes? What’s the path That they chose They are not From my time Do they walk The same line? Here I lay Wondering Have I been Slumbering? In a cave Hidden from What I could Have become The sun will shine Over us all But can you see The rising wall? Endless stairway To perfection All my footsteps You will count Drawing close To my obsession And all the dreams I live without The night will fall Over our heads But can you see Where it all ends Endless stairway To perfection All my footsteps You will count Drawing close To my obsession And all the dreams I live without
10.	Embrace 02:58	lyrics	buy track
I embrace your new world The one that you created I’m am but a whisper Of a different nature I will accept my destiny Look behind no more One with a new reality A sprout from what came before The destruction that we brought Upon land that we claim Hypocrisy that we were taught Maybe we’re to blame
11.	Legacy of a Songbird 03:45	lyrics	buy track
Just know we’re not free We’re shadows of what was And we look for answers Where no answers remain You too will lose it all You’ll be on your knees You’ll hate the unseen Believe what you have seen You too will feel the pain That your world won’t remain You’ll hate what they crave And crave all they hate Just know that you are me A ghost from another time Your spirit tries to flee But it cannot leave your mind You too will lose it all You’ll be on your knees You’ll hate the unseen Believe what you have seen You too will feel the pain That your world won’t remain You’ll hate what they crave And crave all they hate What I am, what I’ll be All I saw, all I dream Turning into dust, to become A new world, a new seed On my knees, I will be Waiting for, destiny None shall live, for all time That is our legacy

about

Death of a Songbird II is an album about learning to accept that you will not live forever. It is about the ideas of yesterday slowly fading away, giving birth to new ideas that will also one day fade away. It is about understanding that everyone has to face a time when they can no longer understand.

How you choose to embrace the future decides the legacy with which you leave behind.

I'm a big fan of The Faceless middle two albums and when I saw Lyle Cooper was on this album I knew I needed to check it out. I bought the discography almost instantly, reminds me a little of The Faceless and a bit more of Fallujah who I also adore. Well worth the money, Support these great Musicians! dragonslayer8228
