about

The observation of the passage of time until the inevitable end, where only silence will remain, is presented by Ivory Gates through a ballad in 6/8.
With a very introspective beginning, the song goes in a steady crescent until reaching the peak in its epic chorus, where the influence of Savatage/TSO becomes more evident.

“The first true ballad in the Ivory Gates discography, unlike other more introspective moments on previous albums, which were more connected to progressive music moods.
And, despite this song transiting in more melodic areas, I see it as one of the strongest and most intense on this record, which gradually creates a growing tension, only relieved in the last notes.”
(Hugo Mazzotti - Bass)

lyrics

Leaves of Winter

Looking outside, in the dead of the night
Far away
Where I can see the leaves of the winter
Falling down
Dead and brown, they cover the ground
The sign of the times
And the time will always pass you by
Yes time is passing you by
The Picture is turning to grey
The cold winds blow much stronger (cold Winds blow)
Stronger than ever (as seasons change)
With these profane suggestions (now winter nights are here at last)
Turning the days into nights
Sweet as a flame that has burned
A song for so long heard
In the sleep of things a lonely light
That fades into black
Only silence remained Where the leaves of winter fell
The cold winds blow much stronger
Stronger than ever
With these profane suggestions
Turning the days into nights
Sweet as a flame that has burned
A song for so long heard
In the sleep of things a lonely light
Facing the winds for one last time
Sweet as a flame that has burned
A song for so long heard
In the sleep of things a lonely light
That fades into black
Only silence remained
Where the leaves of winter ...
