Three decades into a storied career, Green Carnation continue to stand the test of time. Just last year, the Norwegian prog bards reached crushing new highs during the grand and gloomy opening chapter of their long-awaited album trilogy. Now, as the band descend into deeper, darker and more personal depths on Part II of A Dark Poem, they are breaking past the surface with the album’s emotional peak.

Today, Green Carnation are releasing the second advanced single from A Dark Poem, Part II: Sanguis. While awash with melancholy over the past, “I Am Time” seizes the moment with the band’s unwavering control and raw emotions.

“‘I Am Time’ is one of the songs from the forthcoming A Dark Poemalbum trilogy that discusses the fragile nature of our lives”, Green Carnation vocalist Kjetil Nordhus says. “We do not have control over time. We should try and live in the here and now, before suddenly, it’s too late”.

“To make the song a bit more interesting, the lyrics personify time”, says Green Carnation bassist and lyricist Stein Roger Sordal. “They’re about how we should respect and cherish the time that we have”.
