The Italian four-piece band The Chasing Monster has previously performed in the post hardcore genre but with their latest song the band is testing the post-rock waters. The instrumental is very dynamic and powerful and I find the spoken part to fit particularly well with the rest. I only wished the vocals would have been louder. You can read the lyrics below.

 

I can't rest yet,
There's still someone I don't wanna forget,
So I'll spend my time here,
I'll spend my time here for a while waiting for.
I was afraid and I always pretended to follow you closely,
When truth is,
I was already scared to death following in your footsteps.
No more sorrow, no more pain,
Like being swept up in a storm,
You can only surrender and let yourself be carried away.
You were the sun-kissed leaf,
I was the root hidden in darkness, And your shadow like a secret poisoned needle sewed my path.
They say everything has already been formed that is destined to become ashes,
But I will cross over mountains and seas,
Overcoming infinite horizons to hold your memory,
And through this long and winding path, I'll become,
Light.
