Lyrics
Screams of glory
They echo off the river
What a site
But every track
Every coaster
Goes back to the same place
What if we tried connecting all the rides,
Fly through the night and end up somewhere far away

Dreamer take me
Beyond these horizons
To the stars

What if we tried connecting all the rides,
Fly through the night and end up somewhere far away

We’ve begun our journey in the night
First stop at the sky store for some wine
Way up high, The stars are shining bright
Curvature let’s us see the sunrise

I’m seeing myself, what i used to be
I used to have dreams, I used to be free

Im still just a kid, I’m not giving in
Build straight to the sky build until we die

Now I’m set free, a real life fantasy
Fly through the night and end up somewhere far away

Eternal Flight

THE NEW SIKTH 6 TRACK ALBUM 'OPACITIES' OUT NOW ON PEACEVILLE

Following their reformation at Download Festival in 2014, British progressive metal forefathers SikTh return with their new mini-album ‘Opacities’ , out now through legendary UK metal label Peaceville (vinyl edition coming 22nd January www.burningshed.com/store/peacevill…collection/562/ ).

Kerrang – 4K (4/5) – “The daddies are back. Prepare our ears to be assaulted by absolute aural chaos”

Total Guitar – 4/5 - "A sound that’s more refined, accessible and emotive" 

Recorded at Lincoln’s Chapel Studios and produced by Dan Weller and Justin Hill (mixed by Forrester Savell – Karnivool, Animals As Leaders, Dead Letter Circus) vocalist Mikee Goodman hails ‘Opacities’ as the best music the band have ever made, stating, “musically, vocally and lyrically it is our most complete work. We've pushed our sound to the next level."

Vocalist Mikee Goodman explains some of the ideas behind the video: “I thought the band should be presented as individuals. I felt a full band performance shot was not right for us. Was a really intense editing process. I created full screens beforehand to play behind the band. The animation and puppet design was by a man called Gavin Sodo I worked with before. I think they look amazing. In order to create places that look out of this world, I thought this was the best way. “

Following their hiatus in 2008 the band feel that their time away has allowed them to become a better band, with this version of SikTh and the new album being their best yet, with guitarist Dan Weller commenting, “it's more thoughtful, heavier, more refined. A lot of heart and soul went into the making of it - this record is for our fans who've been so loyal".

Along with a new record, December will also see the band touring the UK following recent shows across the world in Germany, Japan, India and Nepal showing that while they were away their music and influence continued to spread.
These shows have brought a renewed energy to the band and a hunger to get out there again and play. The band state “touring with SikTh is much more fun than it used to be. Of course there can be friction. But compared to how things used to be, it's been a better vibe and crowds are more energetic than ever too!"

Lyrics:
On and on you stand before me
Once before I saw your eyes
I heard you cry 
I watched you die

Standing where I never see you
Trying hard to find
Lost memories
Forgotten Dreams

On the wind, you're flying
Lives you lived defying
All alone you watch me
Through the lens
Through the screen

Who am I now
Looking back on days you lived through
Once estranged I soon will see you
We are fading into numbers
We are fading into pictures
All alone you watch me

On the wind, you're flying
Lives you lived defying
All alone you watch me
Through the lens
Through the screen
