Once upon a time there was a legend of a vast land Named by The Golden Sea. Where every reality came to be. If you desire to purify your mind Its a place you must find. A promise land for those who seek fortune Not gold, nor fame Only goals no men can tame. The legend of The Golden Sea lives on.

Filled with the vast riches of this world, Yet still a man with a mission to save his soul Desperatly he grasps in salvation Abdicating of his fortune and dreams By desiring to never grow old Through his eyes the story will unfold Restlessly he searches, Enslaved by his own desire Hoping to be sanctified by lesser men And now he has become the pilgrim Greed and lust were the thirst he quenched Sickness and death was the void he drenched Understanding the ancient texts Of a legend sea bathed in gold The lost ones hoped to find As he's looking for Wondering the earth with no destination Cursing the stars for his damnation Restlessly he searches, Enslaved by his own desire Hoping to be sanctified by lesser men And now he has become the pilgrim

Setting foot upon the unknown Contemplating what he has left behind A shaky hand scratch the dusty notes Because for one thing he knew for sure To become a master of ones fate This is the trial he must face Seasons come and seasons go But the earth still revolves around the sun An ice spear pierces right through the sky The hellish flames melts this carcass apart Sacrificed everything for the Golden Sea A journey that only his eyes can see Thinking he will transcend beyond reality Foolish man! The death of you will be the affinity Of what you seek! Lost and unsure of what is up ahead Suddenly he's filled by the ancient souls Blindly he realized the path to walk The familiar faces slowly fade away Hours turning to days, years into decades And heavy cost that he would gladly pay Seasons come and go But the river still finds its way onto the sea Seasons come and go But the river still finds its way onto the sea Colossal mountain blocks the path A chapter ends Another begins

Stay firm On this line that you created for yourself Hang on Try to reach the mountain peak Don't be afraid of heights Don't be afraid of heights You can't be afraid of heights Crooked minds Blasted skies and my Head is fading away from this life Wasted lies Revolution strikes and now I can fight again This power I have unleashed! Hold on Try to hold, don't lose yourself Breath in Count to four and just breath out Don't be afraid of heights You can't be afraid of heights Crooked minds Blasted skies and my Head is fading away from this life Wasted lies Revolution strikes and now I can fight again This power I have unleashed! "The power of a dream relies on its holder. It might be meaningless or might be harmful"

Dream Walker 08:13
The restless bird reaches the septum Standing among the clouds Attempting to dissemble the disbelief Of a thousand million crowds What's above, what's below? What's beyond the unknown? The secrecy of his thoughts Remained unspoiled to the world The brightness of life Drained by a glowing black hole Unknown displeasure feeding on his weakness Fading as a bird long gone in the distance Swallowed by the vortex of his self awareness Blurring the thick line of space and time Thick line of space and time Collapsing to the primitive empire Built by his own mind Built by his own mind The man he once was The memory of a rich castle Only it's ruin remain Along with his empty vessel And higher above the limits of mankind The oldest star shines up ahead Enclosured in the same cicle as the others Slithering to certain dead Greediness shall be truly redeemed When Nature yells louder than Men's grief The Blind reaches the surface The Lost is utterly free The Young remains speechless The Pilgrim search the key The River flows with agony And the trees tremble with sorrow The moon cicle completes itself Vanish the sun of tomorrow No straight track led him to this No keeper is guarding the city keys A giant gate entirely sealed A golden path waiting to be revealed Overgrown by his desire and ambition Determined to know what is behind A Dream Walker with a purpose Which the truth must find

As you carry the weight of the world You are almost free from the chains Which bound you to the void One step ahead of the unatainable No disease nor pain No disease nor pain shall break the flesh The body is just a vessel That will serve your purpose It will carry you, the spirit on the coldest of nights Delusional behaviour and carnal intent Are but mere futile lies That operate on common minds Simply the way of mindless crimes Simply the way of mindless crimes As the wounds begin to scar And the legs start to move Reaching their final destination The body is just a vessel That will serve your purpose It will carry you, the spirit on the coldest of nights And all shall be revealed through a blossom in the dark And all shall be revealed through a blossom in the dark How weak and worthless are they? When the wise try to break the reality From which they fed No long you shall witness mankind's Wicked and perverted deeds Humankind will never know the struggle The burden of what is to know The depths of one's soul All will be over soon The body is just a vessel That will serve your purpose It will carry you, the spirit on the coldest of nights And all shall be revealed through a blossom in the dark And all shall be revealed through a blossom in the dark

A dead man beneath the sand Surpassing his soul through the sky Enlightening the desert below An ocean that was dry Carelessly leaving the unwished life Of a man who was never free Dead and lost to the living world Immortalized on The Golden Sea The sand around him bows to the newcomer An ocean sets through Shaping the arid lands With a vivid green and blue The mortal men could not see it The history books could not tell The spectral beings hold all the knowledge Underneath the natural spell The Pilgrim finds what's hidden inside What's hidden below, what's hidden behind What stands above, what lies ahead Who dies in love shall live after death Wrong he was by believing he could fly Records of the fallen pilgrims he stood by But in the end the truth appeared in front of him Not made to fly but destined to swim The missing pieces of the eternal chain Settled in this vast magical reign The fall of the ancient man who had been torn The rising of Mother Nature's newborn
8.
In the vast plains of a voidless kingdom An ancient Pilgrim stands alone Moved by his own fate Carried by his own stone The shattering sound of the wind The sand slowly eating the flesh Majestic blossom lies dead Bleakly trying to flourish again The Pilgrim felt He was going to the voidless land He tried to scream for help But the Golden Sea is a ruin of sand Scattered beneath him The dunes hide an ancient mystery Once a deep blue ocean Now a morbid Golden Sea A sudden tumult of joyful cries Vanquish the empty tone A circle of forgotten creatures Wanders around the mystical throne The Pilgrim felt He was going to the voidless land He tried to scream for help But the Golden Sea is a ruin of sand And now there is nothing he can do to truly forget And now there isn't But the Golden Sea is a ruin of sand Flying through the imaginary sea Dancing along to their own ritual Floating forever on the tides of time Living together spiritually The Pilgrim felt He was going to the voidless land He tried to scream for help But the Golden Sea is a ruin of sand And now there is nothing he can do to truly forget And now there isn't But the Golden Sea is a ruin of sand
9.
The Pilgrim's journey has come to an end, As he weakly drops his grizzled staff Unravelling the ancestral wisdom Writing on the Nature's epitaph The last bone cracked and the old muscle ceased As he's wrinkles outlined his perpetual emotion, at last Laying down forever along with the magical creatures May the ancient Pilgrim rest

about

Whales don't Fly Bragança, Portugal

Whales Don't Fly was born in Bragança,Portugal in December 2018. Being highly influenced by progressive music driven by the Heavy Metal's power, they built the concept of their first album "The Golden Sea".
A tumultuous journey filled with all the men's virtues and faults; A mystery that culminates into the unknown, in an abstraction of sensations orchestrated by the Portuguese musicians.
