Dark Fortress

Venereal Dawn

On Fever's Wings

---

Vocals

This low vocal and even the whispering is nice. Even though I think this second vocal that comes in works with the atmosphere of the song somehow (maybe the lyrics), I would have preferred it be just the first vocalist. The female vocal almost has a sexual quality to it and reminds me of R& B, which I am not very familiar with.

Music

I like the opening keyboard - it feels very anticipatory. Throughout this song they have done a good job of weaving the keyboard and guitar around each other and keeping a pace.

Lyrics

I am not sure what exactly these lyrics mean. The title referring to fever's wings is obviously not a fever in the sense of being ill; I think it is more an excitement or anticipation. I had to look up words here, but this feels like some kind of out of worldly experience being anticipated. I am not drawn to this kind of lyric, personally.

Subside
The empyrean ignites
The ether sings
Opens wide
Alight
From the other side
On fever's wings
Beyond all light
