Lyrics :

We wait for light,

but behold darkness;

This I profess.

The more I Iearn, the less I know.

I always wondered how it can be so.

Perhaps the true delight is not knowing

but finding?

Searching through a demon haunted world,

not knowing what I hope to find.

The arc of my mind bends

toward a singularity,

accelerating the perception of time.

Into a point this focus is compressed,

adding new knowledge, everything is

coalesced.

I know more now than before.

The only result being I need more...

Life can't ever be long enough

to find a key that sets me free.

Would I even want to be released?

The answer to this question is no.

Treading into the unknown;

places where I'll be left alone.

I'll use my mind as a wick

and my soul as the oil to light the way

just for a short while longer,

like a candle in the dark...

I don't think so. And, if it were true, just because the vocals aren't typical vocals that (like in pop and rock) are an accompanied melody, that doesn't mean they're inferior. What you've been taught is wrong. The vocals in this song are often contrapuntal, which is brilliant. In the case of Nox Aurumque, it's an arrangement of an Eric Whitacre piece. The vocals are going to be a lot different than what metal listeners are used to. I don't think either of you are correct. The drums aren't loud.

but from an artistic point of view maybe they're trying to make the drums overpower everything else a smidge. The beat is stronger this way, more intense. It sounds as important as the vocals, which most people think of as the most important sound in a song. couldn't that be their point here?

Drums have nothing to do with creating a harmony. They aren't meant to over power everything else. They are meant to be underlying rhythm to drive the rest of the instrumentals.

They have to do this, because these are not normal "actual vocals", they have to fit perfectly with the instrumentation, so the can complete the harmony, otherwise, they wouldn't sound good. (this is mostly observable in nox aurumque)

Good song, but the mix is off. Turn the drums down a smidge and bring out the singers upper registers more. The screaming is on point, but the actual vocals are muddled behind all the instrumentation.
