Scott's Instrumental Metal Track of the Day - Departure by Frames

Today's Instrumental Metal Track is Departure by Frames. This is off of the German band's 2012 album In Via.

The spoken work in the middle of the song is taken from a German poem title Stufen by Hemann Hesse.

Translated:

"Steps"

As every blossom wilts and every youth
Yields to age, so blooms every step of life,
So too blooms every wisdom and every virtue
In its time and may not last forever.
The heart must at all of life’s calls
Be ready to part and begin anew,
So that it may, with courage and without grief,
Give itself to new engagements.
In every beginning lives a magic,
Protecting us and helping us to live.
