cost of her life and she accepts her fate. The fisherman hasn't taken it well and he is drowning in the flood while he is heartbroken. Sun The song "Sun" brings all the emotions to the front. The fisherman grieves over the mermaid's death thinking it was his fault that she died. He thinks that if he had never discovered her she might have lived. He thinks that maybe humanity would have found a different way to survive if he had not found her and that maybe humanity would have gone extinct but it would be worth it if she survives. Celestial Elixir The grand finale of the album "Celestial Elixir" tells us that her sacrifice worked. Her blood was able to create a cure that turns humans into mermaids giving them the ability to survive the flood. The life of the mermaid was a tragic one, the fisherman survives with only her memory. Reception The reception of this album was generally positive. Eduardo Rivadavia of AllMusic praised it as the strongest prog album yet to come out in the 2010s. Classic Rock Magazine featured the song "Eternal Rain" as a free track of the day on 15 April 2010. The small review given was positive, calling it "interesting music from a young London band who combine jazz, metal and prog, delivered with excellent musicianship."
