From oceans burning
From ancient seas ablaze
Come forth mighty leviathan
Unrivalled be its wrath
Forgotten relic of cycles past
Will curse this world anew
Their kingdoms burnt, subjects enslaved
Their legacy dethroned
Awoken from incandescent slumber
The inner sanctum of its visage impaired
Crowned once as the apex of all worlds
The spinal form of sentience
Restrained our conscience, and our souls
A crippling deformity
The gods on high, they sold us out
To mechanical creatures, of worlds afar
Beyond the realms of fantastical imaginings
From oceans burning
Of ancient seas ablaze
A cryptic race devolved us
And threw us in its wake
They brand us lesser minded
And unleash upon us all
This diseased plight
To repeat the mistakes of eden
They harvest the populace
The conversion to abomination
Doomed us all from failed beginnings
And certain ends
From oceans burning
Of ancient seas ablaze
A cryptic race devolved us
To put us in our place
The weak forever rising
To claim the right of life
Yet they slew our 'wishful thinking'
And accredit our demise
Let us paint a brighter future
Free from a misplaced creations reckonings
From oceans burning
Of ancient seas ablaze
A cryptic race devolved us
And threw us in its wake
From oceans burning
Of ancient seas ablaze
A cryptic race devolved us
To put us in our place

A beautiful journey from start to finish, with perfectly placed moments of gentility amidst the rhythmic intrigue and blast beats of their guest drummer. jsteadmanfan

Une musique techniquement excellente qui me rappelle Quo Vadis, et sa c'est un compliment...Vraiment continué comme sa j'adore tous simplement. devilgrinder

Iapetus vise la voûte céleste avec The Long Road Home et, aussi éloignée soit-elle, arrive à ne pas se perdre en chemin, ne succombant jamais à la facilité ou au remplissage : Matthew et Jordan sont deux virtuoses du black metal progressif qui savent être exemplaires, encore plus dans les pistes instrumentales (l'album ne pouvait rêver de meilleure conclusion que cette piste éponyme). Iapetus vise aussi les planètes, donnant du corps à leur création par des thèmes et paroles matures. Magistral ! Jordan Vauvert

Highest-quality-metal!
Imagine Cynic having a baby with Dream Theater, Devin Townsend, Atheist and Joe Satriani!
And now imagine this and add fantastic songwriting!
Ok.
Now you got it, don't you? RATMAN
