Finnlands Melodic Death Doom Metal Outfit SWALLOW THE SUN ist wandelbar, wie das heute veröffentlichte `What I Have Become`, das von Transformation und Wiedergeburt handelt, wieder mal beweist. Der Song ist der Auftakt zum zehn Songs beinhaltenden “Shining“ Studioalbum, das am 18. Oktober herauskommen wird.
Juha Raivio erzählt über das anstehende Album:
„After our last album it soon became clear to me that writing another Moonflowers album will kill me. So, I made a quiet wish to myself that if there ever will be any new music then please have a little bit of mercy on yourself rather than be that infinite black hole that will suck out the rest of your remaining light and soul just for the sake of it. Musically this album shines like a glacier diamond and has that power and punch that feels like a kick in your face! While lyrically the album deals how fearing life will eventually kill you and how melancholy can become your God.”.

Lyrics:
I walk through the sacred fire
Forged in flames of this hell
Broken bells toll the name of mine
In this chapel where I fell
Black hearts beat like a drum
What have I become?
Like a ghost under the Sun
Before you change your mind
Build fortress from fear
Take a look in my eyes
And tell it feels like
A new day was here about to begin
And it feels like
A new day was here about to begin
About to be…
Come to me
And see what I have become
What I have become
And I walk through the sacred fire
Black hearts beat like a drum
What have I become?
We shine like phantoms
Glow like a ghost under the Sun
And it feels like
A new day was here about to begin
About to be…
Come to me
And see what I have become
What I have be…
Come and touch
This sacred fire
I’m falling
Come to me
And see what I have become
What I have become
I’m falling
See what I have become
What I have become
Sacred fire
I’m falling
And see what I have become
What I have become
