SWALLOW THE SUN - Stone Wings (Live at John Smith Festival)
"When a Shadow Is Forced into the Light" is a musical journey through dense darkness and dazzling light, through the pain of loss and transformation. This album, created by Finnish masters of melancholy, paints vivid pictures of inner struggle, where shadows collide with radiant flames, and scars become jewels cutting through the veil of night.
The album's lyrics weave together imagery of nature, the cosmos, and human emotions: from fire shimmering in the night to crimson crowns birthing mountains and seas, from streams of dark waves to the fragile hope of light. Profound themes of farewell, redemption, and eternal love unfold against a sonic backdrop that balances tenderness and power.
This collection of songs is an anthem of survival, a battle against the demons of the past, and an embrace of light in the heart of darkness. From mesmerizing melancholy to the resounding force of fire, the album opens a gateway to a world where every word and melody strikes directly at the soul.
"When a Shadow Is Forced into the Light" is for those seeking light in the depths of the night.

Stone Wings
Speak through the silence,
lay down your crown,
lay down your fight.
And when you speak
the words of silence,
walls will crumble in
and skies open.
And when you speak,
you speak with silence,
and I carve each word you
sing on my stone wings
and the light will pour in.
The fires are burning
under the starlight,
through veils of golden light,
the sails so pure, so white.
Through the river of death
I carry you, my love.
Breathe in the night,
my arms alight.
And when you speak
the words of silence,
walls will crumble in
and skies open.
And when you speak,
you speak with silence,
and I carve each word you
sing on my stone wings
and the light will pour in.
I threw this iron crown
into the eye of inferno.
This lake of fire, this pit of ghosts.
Breathing in the dark,
exhaling the dust of stars.
In this shrine of silver light,
on the edge of the moon, you sing to me.
The river flows so deep
through my heart and through my eyes
as you turn into the light
the dust of silver stars.
And when you speak
the words of silence,
walls will crumble in
and skies open.
And when you speak,
you speak with silence,
and I carve each word you
sing on my stone wings
and the light will pour in.
Carve each word you sing
on my stone wings now.
