lyrics

Down the winding path past the bridge
Lay a grave amidst a hollow on the ridge.
A solemn place once thought unreal,
But I know its grip too well, oh, so surreal!

[Solo Saltsman]

Once the grave comes into sight,
Waves of energy and distortions of light
Pound your senses into nothing at all;
Twisted preparations for your infinite fall.

[Solo Fedetz]

Witness the end of days
Through the eyes of the insane.
Accept this forlorn gaze,
Spiral down without refrain.

And the journey's only just begun.
In the quiet hours of the setting sun
You will enter into the deepest depths of your dreams.
Can you feel reality peeling at the seams?

Finally a break from the bitter turmoil
As you blink back into the real.
Your mind's unraveling like a ribbon
Caught in the wind of this lurid dusk hymn.

[Clean Solo Saltsman]
[Solo Fedetz]
[Solo Saltsman]
[Solo Fedetz]

Within the breadth of this vision,
You'll come to see
The world in juxtaposition,
The duality,

The irony
Of this mortality.
Once you leave this place
Your mind will never be the same.

Down the winding path past the bridge
Lay a grave amidst a hollow on the ridge.
A solemn place once thought unreal,
But I know its grip too well, oh, so surreal!

And the journey's only just begun.
In the quiet hours of the setting sun
You will enter into the deepest depths of your dreams.
Can you feel reality peeling at the seams?

about

Open Wide, The Sky Newark, Delaware

In 2010 "Open Wide, The Sky" began as a trio of like-minded musicians looking to play. As jam sessions became more frequent and our playing more and more cohesive, we reached the unanimous decision to step into bandhood. If Mastodon, Opeth, and Between the Buried and Me had a three way baby, that'd be us. So check out our album Monolith, a mixture of jazz, metal, rock, and a whole lotta love. ... more
