lyrics

Starting from scratch I walked a thousand miles
And lived a thousand lives.
There was a time I felt about to fall,
I left those days behind.

When life puts you on you knees, stand up
And show her that you’re tough,
No matter how long the night is because
The morning always comes.

I, I’m reaching for the sun
I want to have its warmth upon my skin,
Don’t want my life to be in shadows anymore.

Never played safe, I’d rather play with fire
And sometimes I got burnt
But if you want to sit among the gods,
There’s something you must learn:

When life puts you on your knees stand up,
And show you’re not afraid,
Always look ahead, keep your head up,
your destiny’ll be made.
I’m reaching for the sun
I want to have its warmth upon my skin,
Don’t want my life to be in shadows anymore.

Ancient spirits come and save me from myself,
Coz I don’t want to return to hell again
I’m reaching for the sun
I want to have its warmth upon my skin,
Don’t want my life to be in shadows anymore.

Elusive Reflections
by Persona

supported by 12 fans who also own “Reaching for the sun”

It's a great blend of different metal genres and styles, with great solos in basically every song, just that touch of oriental influences that feel natural but not artificial and above all else, performed by the beautiful, haunting voice of Jelena Dobric, who uses it in a way that is not the typical operatic approach as we are used to from other female-fronted bands wormys_queue

Sands of Time

I bought the album on vinyl basically just to have the EP on physical format, I'll be honest. This is not to say the album is bad (it is absolutely amazing) but the EP blew me away and is honestly one of the best and most versatile albums I've listened to in a while and the vocals are just insanely good. If you like ExLibris you'll love this band too, no doubt thebluemeanie

#3 2023: "XANDRIA reborn", concerning the line-up. In terms of music it is what you expect from one of the leading symphonic metal bands. 75 minutes(!) of bombastic, dramatic, well arranged and varied female fronted metal. Each song on this long player is catchy, full of pathos and a hit, Also the new singer makes a great job and brings soul into the heavy soundscapes. A must have release for fans of this genre. Not original, but better than all Nightwash releases since "Dark Passion Play"! H.L.
