“In the Embers” is a part of Sleeping at Last’s album Atlas: I, which was released in 2014. The origins of the universe inspire the album. This piece specifically refers to death being inevitable. Everyone wants to be known for something when they're gone. It’s a never-ending competition with no winner, for we all end up in the same place. So why not enjoy the beauty of life while we still have it? Enjoy our temporary brilliance before it turns to ash.
