about

To celebrate the 5th anniversary of our debut album "Whispers", we thought it would be fun to re-record our favorite song from the album, "Climb"!

We took the song apart and tweaked every riff, groove, and flow to make the song the best that it could be. We added new riffs, changed some old riffs and added several new harmony and textural layers.

In addition to what we changed musically, we applied everything we've learned about music production over the last 5 years to give this version of "Climb" a super polished and modern feel.

We hope that you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed making it for you. Thank you for your support over these last 5 years! We look forward to many more to come.

lyrics

Reborn into an unforgiving world
I’ve got a second chance
But how can I survive when everything wants me to die?
With wolves around each corner
The only way is up
Chainsaws and chainmail are still no protection from their cuts

So climb on words of ancients
Keep your sights set up high
Escape to safety in the sky

Our lives lay between jaws of evil
Only truth can snatch us away
Our hearts are haunted by the sins of tomorrow
Only love will bring the light of day

The stones the teeth of a hungry earth
Gnashing with my every step in the dirt
One slip and I’ll find myself in the fangs
Their constant threat draws my eye to the grave

Battered and burnt, I’ve got my back to the wall
Surrounded by wolves on the hunt
Why give me life just to watch me die
Have you abandoned me?
Or where is my...

Escape by the bridges you built before, you plotted years ago
I saw construction but found no worth until at deaths door

But I’m not ever safe
Until I’m in you arms
I’ll find another threat
Teach me to be strong

Waves rise and break
Break skin and poison the blood within
Find shelter from soil and sea alike
And just find a way to climb
