SLEEP TOKEN Fields Of Elation

Sleep Token are a masked, anonymous collective of musicians; united by their worship of an ancient deity crudely dubbed "Sleep", since no modern tongue can properly express it's name.

This being once held great power, bestowing ancient civilisations with the gift of dreams, and the curse of nightmares. Even today, though faded from prominence, 'Sleep' yet lurks in the subconscious minds of man, woman, and child alike. Fragments of beauty, horror, anguish, pain, happiness, joy, anger, disgust, and fear coalesce to create expansive, emotionally textured music that simultaneously embodies the darkest, and the brightest abstract thoughts. He has seen them. He has felt them. He is everywhere. Sleep Token, led by the perpetually tormented, supremely talented Vessel, creates music that brings to the fore our most submerged thoughts and feelings, coaxing them from the desolate, terrifying caves of our subconscious mind. Lyrics: The daylight recedes In unison, this room Buries the hours Like death, in motion Nobody else can pull me out The fields of elation quiet and loamy Your name is a sin I breathe, like oxygen Caught in the careless Arms, of lust again Nobody else can pull me out The fields of elation quiet and loamy Nobody else can pull me out The fields of elation quiet and loamy I'm losing my faith in our lives apart
