TheNocturne I confess to being an aging Goth, and the music here reminds me of all the best from the 80's but updated and with a definite modern sensibility. They probably don't class themselves as a Goth band, which is fine, but believe me this album ticks all the boxes! Jangly guitars, powerful deep vocals, electronics, melancholic themes, powerful riffs... this album has it all. Amazing stuff, powerful, well written, and beautiful played.

Shout, and delve beneath the ground. The storms do not exist in the depths, relinquished. Bow, to things you want to twist with your fist, and drown in your sorrow, farewell. Your fragrance and harmony, a mask that shuts down reality. Your brooding uncertainty, a mist that brought down my travesty. Believe me when I say that you'll leave this place with no soul or honor. Bow to things you want to twist with your fist, and drown in your sorrow, farewell. Your fragrance and harmony, a mask that shuts down reality. Your brooding uncertainty, a mist that brought down my travesty. Your fragrance and harmony, a mask that shuts down reality. Your brooding uncertainty, a mist that brought down my travesty. I'm brought down to my knees, to live a lifetime of grief. My sorrow knows no retreat. It's time to accept and release. Masquerading Crowd, falling to abyss. (The stains of horror) What is it worth? (There's no tomorrow) Feel the fading light, calling to exist. (The stains of horror) Applaud, no resist, forever. (There's no tomorrow) (The stains of horror) (There's no tomorrow) (The stains of horror) (There's no tomorrow)

Centerpiece 04:48
Say your piece. Your neutral voice is vile. Where do you stand? Where do you stand? Cry, it’s okay to cry and feel alive another day. Cue the grudging laws. Judge and jury in the words untold. The masses quarrel. To my former self. There’s no right or wrong. Distorted peace. The centerpiece. Cry, it’s okay to cry and feel alive another day. (Dear friend) Judge me all you want, I never wanted to hate you. (Family) There’s no need to take a side, just hear me out and think… ...Beyond the voices that defines your reasons to stay alive. Cue the grudging laws. Judge and jury in the words untold. The masses quarrel. To my former self. There’s no right or wrong. Distorted peace. The centerpiece. Cue the grudging laws. Judge and jury in the words untold. The masses quarrel. To my former self. There’s no right or wrong. Distorted peace. The centerpiece. I don’t wanna take a side. I don’t wanna start an inner conflict. I don’t wanna be a brother or a father of kindred faction. Let me revel in denial. Let me see the other worlds of judgement. Let me lay down in the presence of a loved one. Where there’s affliction. So let me be Come back to me when your conflict’s gone. This game is never-ending Embrace the storm in me. Cue the grudging laws. Judge and jury in the words untold. The masses quarrel. To my former self. There’s no right or wrong. Distorted peace. The centerpiece. Cue the grudging laws. Judge and jury in the words untold. The masses quarrel. To my former self. There’s no right or wrong. Distorted peace. The centerpiece.

Fairy Ghoul 04:29
Terrified of your own stare. That why I'll be neglectful. That's where I'll be when you're not scared. My beautiful nightmare. I hear voices in my head. Telling me to drop the chair. Taught to believe in you with fear. My fairy ghoul... Is this the story of you and I? Or it's a story of longer nights? I couldn't wait to see your smile. But it's reflection is still not mine. You're a Ghoul and that's alright. I'll wait at twelve o'clock every night. I know you care and you won't bare... Stand on and I will be there. Bring my burning bow of gold. And the arrows of desire. Set your heart on pleadings gone. My musical darkness. Shot my arrows through your soul. And your teardrops turned to stone. Couldn't believe that you're my muse. My fairy Ghoul. Is this the story of you and I? Or it's a story of longer nights? I couldn't wait to see your smile. But it's reflection is still not mine. You're a Ghoul and that's alright. I'll wait at twelve o'clock every night. I know you care and you won't bare... Stand on and I will be there. But I'm hoping that you'll yearn for me as I did for you. When you're falling, for what you did with secrets you broke to me. But I'm hoping that you'll yearn for me as I did for you. When you're falling, for what you did with secrets you broke to me. Is this the story of you and I? Or it's a story of longer nights? I couldn't wait to see your smile. But it's reflection is still not mine. You're a Ghoul and that's alright. I'll wait at twelve o'clock every night. I know you care and you won't bare... Stand on and I will be there

Oh.. troubled heart, do not be threatened for the clock ticks life away. The essence of time won't save you while the heartbeat won’t remain. Nothing lasts forever, there’s no reason for you to hide. And as long as life would go, your loveless heart won’t beat again. The life that we’d gain the love that contains the passion that leaves us in pain. The life that we’d gain the love that contains the passion that leaves us in pain The life that we’d gain the love that contains the passion that leaves us in pain The life that we’d gain the love that contains the time that stops when the heart remains. The sea looks like a wrinkled old man, pulling grassroots that don't belong. Peace in yourself, in your breath that’s been taken. Tuck it in, we’re never in.. between. We stay true when we say what we’ve been up to, finding room in their silent presence. Say what you’ve been up to, hiding what’s have been piling lessons. The life that we’d gain the love that contains the passion that leaves us in pain. The life that we’d gain the love that contains the passion that leaves us in pain The life that we’d gain the love that contains the passion that leaves us in pain The life that we’d gain the love that contains the time that stops when the heart remains. When the heart remains When the heart remains When the heart remains When the heart remains The clocks stop but the heartbeat still remains. The clocks stop but the heartbeat still remains. The clocks stop but the heartbeat still remains. The clocks stop but the heartbeat still remains. The life that we’d gain the love that contains the passion that leaves us in pain. The life that we’d gain the love that contains the passion that leaves us in pain The life that we’d gain the love that contains the passion that leaves us in pain The life that we’d gain the love that contains the time that stops when the heart remains. A box overhead, hugging a blade. I swear I'm good, I don't wanna be dead. Just don't... Just don't.

A thin line between life and death. Between a lie and a truth. You'll replicate what I do. A thin line between a scream and a breath. Between insight and a sooth. You'll dream of what I knew. Keep thinking... And linking. And people get offended. Stop thinking... Stop linking. And they will still get offended. Keep thinking... And linking. And people get offended. Stop thinking... Stop linking. And they will still get offended. Falling apart, broke down by dreams. Hearing all the trumpets of victory blow. Whifflers all round, change and oblige. Walking down the halls of multitudinous. Freeze and obey, move and you'll pay. Live long! Comply, you myrmidon. Keep thinking... Keep linking... Herein lies the question, what is fake and what is real? Born into dissension, obey and you'll be a being. Herein lies the question, what is fake and what is real? Born into dissension, to set ablaze hypocrisy! Snatched and subdued, brought down to view. "Marvel at the martyr!" We're so doomed. Calls to commute, rigorous and cruel. Slipped down to his death "Oh he's so poor!" Stand up and fight, ignite the fire. Guess what? You'll be billed and it's all gone. Keep thinking... Keep linking... Herein lies the question, what is fake and what is real? Born into dissension, obey and you'll be a being. Herein lies the question, what is fake and what is real? Born into dissension, to set ablaze hypocrisy! Oh my demons you're too kind. Scorching hymns for the dying. Say your prayers we're losing ground. Pitch black darkness, we're terrified!

Unus Mundus 05:36
Alive to breathe a lie That passes judgment to you. Go find the reasons why... ...There's something wrong with you. Meanwhile the despiteful people say their pieces. To the far beyond a rectify... Please come inside. Run, cry... If you deny the rites of reason, cry! Run, cry... Into the night, to find the reasons why! Run, cry... If you deny the rites of reason, cry! Run, cry... Into the night, to find the reasons why! The rhyming words arise That ring and pass as the truth. And turn the inner tide. Of something sprawling from you. Alive to breath a lie… Go find the reasons why... Run, cry... If you deny the rites of reason, cry! Run, cry... Into the night, to find the reasons why! Run, cry... If you deny the rites of reason, cry! Run, cry... Into the night, to find the reasons why! [2x]

Crying for a different mankind With an evil disturbing laugh Telling you "Save me" Anonymous, what do you mean? Never mind, don't want your sooth-say A child with fear of decay Faint away, leave it soaking. No one will ever rule today. Rush to the scene The lights are howling. Hush don't believe. Their lives are home. Rush to the scene The lights are howling. Hush don't believe. Their lives are home. Tell a lie, for the price of death... A spokesman that has never spoken He's probably telling the truth. Why won't you save me? I'll be your pet for life. Rush to the scene The light are howling Hush, don't believe Their lives are home. Rush to the scene The light are howling Hush, don't believe Their lives are home. Dreaming of a life inside a dream Where we're kings and queens of death Signal the eternal bell! For his stark pale dominion Feel the silence of the scene! Stony, Grey, and pale indeed Where was love when he fell down? Little kid's lost and we're here.

Broken blurry lines. Gets lost within the tides of parting. Underneath the sun. Breathe the thickened air I fear and. Steer my soulless tears. Pray for me. Calming thoughts I need. Calming thoughts will flee. Calming thoughts I need. Calming thoughts will flee. Lay in the pool of names that wronged you But only fear will urge you to be. One of the wrongdoers, I lay on nightmares. Only fear will take me. Heed all the silence. And be the only one who’ll miss me. Shed the skin that binds you, from the bone that only weighs you more, and lay in the pool of names that wronged you. But only fear will urge you to be One of the wrongdoers, I lay on nightmares. Only fear will take me Steer my soulless tears. Pray for me. Calming thoughts I need. Calming thoughts will flee. Lay in the pool of names that wronged you But only fear will urge you to be. One of the wrongdoers, I lay on nightmares. Only fear will take me.

Yours Truly 01:36
Saying goodbye As I'm lost within the tides You won't survive And neither will I Take my breath And pray for the day where we live Among the dreams of eternity Willfully parting from the lasting ether Signed, yours truly, solitude.
