Caligula’s Horse: A leading light in contemporary progressive metal…..

Tweet

Dale Prinsse comments: «Oceanrise frames life’s triumphs by celebrating the legacy we each leave behind in death. This was the first song written for the album, and represents Caligula’s Horse in a dynamic, colorful, and uplifting way. Performing in this music video was incredibly fun and full of smiles. The filming coalesced with the day we released our fifth album Rise Radiant, and the first time the band had seen each other in person for many months».

Lyrics:

Weaver, wait

Beg the illness

Plead for stillness where the mountain’s made

 

Run, you always run

Like you need disaster

Was it fate you’re after?

 

You run, you always run

Flee your fate to find it

Run

Precious nothing

There’s no heaven here

 

There’s your ocean rise

A legacy in living

A promise in an ending, triumphant

Your ocean rise

Setting sun

The desert cannot drown the water

Be the flood, be the ocean

 

Weave away

Standing still is for the fearless

You were learning to run

 

To burning lungs, death came as an ocean

One with her wild devotion

It’s done

The fight was won,

but foam and fury’s in our blood

So run, just like you always run

The desert cannot drown the flood

 

It’s your ocean rise

A legacy in living

A promise in an ending, triumphant

Your ocean rise

Setting sun

The desert cannot drown the water

Be the flood, be the ocean

 

We rise into the epitaph,

an end to measure man

We rise,

here where the body shapes the mountain where you stand

The ocean rises alive

 

It’s your ocean rise

A legacy in living

A promise in an ending, triumphant

Your ocean rise

Setting sun

The desert cannot drown the water

Be the flood, be the ocean
