Words Untold & Dreams Unlived is the first full-length studio album by symphonic metal band Serenity released on April 27, 2007, in Europe and on May 8 in North America, followed by releases in Russia, Japan and south-eastern Asia. The album was released under Napalm Records and produced by Jan Vacik and Oliver Philipps at Dreamsound Studios in Munich. The album was then released in Russia and Japan. The album contains 10 tracks, including songs that appeared on Serenity's demo album Engraved Within (tracks 5, 6, 8, and 10). Words Untold & Dreams Unlived has all the elements and strong points of a power metal album, but not as many melodic and symphonic tones as in Serenity's later albums.
