Anastasia, you've always been there for me
Funereal parades...
And I need you, when I prostitute for you
You love what I do – the wicked and the strange
I've, a funeral every night
Now I will have you
and we will write
Scores – of sorcery within
When I enter, my romance with you
'Twas as in a nightmare – all pretty and new
In trails of starlight – we'll turn on the sea
and lead us...away
I've, a funeral every night
Now I will have you
and we will write
Songs – of sorcery within
Let the funeral begin!
Oh my lover let me pour you – potions of the mind
Celebrate this moment – as we fade to the other side
Lead:
Forever young
I will have you – we will write
Backing:
Bring me starlight, Come to life again
Long the darkest shadows - Long the darkest shadows
Lead:
Songs of starlight – starlight within
As in a nightmare
Enchanted destiny
Backing:
Bring me starlight, Come to life again
Long the darkest shadows - Long the darkest shadows
Bring me starlight, Come to life again

Summer Days
we passed on grace
Enchanted by the time
we found the human flame
Our tears
casting magic on the dreams we save
When we're young...
No more wishing
on a star
We reach to the heavens
but it seems to far
Gazes on the vanity
cracked and dark
When we're young...
Never opening your heart
That's a terrible way to start
the rest of your life
Hopelessness ran
to your eye
From grave smiles in hiding
of a romance died
Melody are lovers who were lost in time
Rain are the ashes
of our past lives
The ones that we feel
when we die inside
Melody are lovers who were lost in time...

Obscurely Titled Reviews / Comments
Imagine feeling the buzz of 2 or 3 shots of scotch in some twilit city alley, wandering into an underground bar with strange echoes emanating from the antique jukebox. While listening, you slowly notice that an alien world screams and groans at you through the old leaded windows. Now, imagine if you have been slipped some LSD and are just realizing it...

👏Nice❤️ sounds like Brenden Perry and Chris Cornell combined

Tremendous vocals and mood which turns decades back and makes us feel the revolutionary times of the 70's

If Gustav Mahler had a guitar he was playing this sonata.

This is what I expect from Classic Goth. Spooky and look over your shoulder!!! Like London After Midnight on steroids. This act could open for Bauhaus and gain this decades' fans.

I support such bands as you, because you deserve it! This is poetic and very beautiful. Sounds like a drunk, lonely human living in an Middle Earth-like world, singing his songs over the hills... Continue this, it becomes more and more wonderful the more seconds running away!...........FIVE out of FIVE!

I love this dark sound. It takes me back to the glory days of Black Sabbath, but without the metal. Nice jazzy, dark mix of sounds...no one else sounds like this.

Out of control and not wanting any. Elements of Tool linger in the darkness of this tune's immense space. I do like the addition of organs to a sound like this, creating a deep-routed religious connotation. This seeps into the deepest crevices of the mind every time the pitch swoops down. These progressions, with their chromatic/diminished tendencies lend themselves to an "asleep at the wheel" type of environment. I lost myself successfully.

Sinatra's Evil Zombie Twin! Yeah I’m super totally into it - Here’s an imagination that ought be exposed to the light of day, lest of course the light of day vaporizes you. If I ever got a wind/up music box in the shape of a coffin, it better sound like this or I’m eating my own head.

Sounds like R&B. Nice sounding piano…Keith Sweat, but dark. I would love to see this live. The vocals are just plain creepy at times, but in a good way. Everything is just so surreal. It’s crazy on headphones.

Reminds me of the opening tracks of Too Dark Park

Pretty Intro. Pink Floyd in Gothic church sounding vox is nice. Calmed me down.

I LOVE THE PIANO. This song has an awesome "mood" to it. It hits you right away and stays throughout. It is dark but cool, the sequencing is very creative.
Olivia
West Hollywood, California USA
Layered gem. The song is skillfully constructed. The vocals are flawless for this track complimenting the eerie mood, which easily keeps you glued. The song is a movie on its own. More please.
Sam

Very talented band. There’s allot of depth to the music. The vocals remind me of Morrison. That’s a plus! The organ is off the hook. It’s like a movie. The guitar leads are insane. Reminds me of Omar Rodriguez from the Mars Volta.

Nice ambience at the beginning of the song, nice piano and I like the singing. It is more theatrical than alternative...It could be film music.

Obviously intending to represent the hallucinogenic swoon induced by the feeding of vampires on innocent flesh. I felt as if a putrid wind was blowing across my countenance while I gazed into the fiery lips of hell. Coincidentally, while writing this review my phone rang twice and each time I answered a disembodied voice would speak to me in evil, backwards whispers. I give you props on production, mood, originality and drums ('cause I like Joy Div).......peace.

Music for Film! Dark... Pink Floydish...Vocals very good...Having said that it's Very original as well. A very cool arrangement of emotions all telling the same story with separate perspectives.

I really liked the vocals and the mood, but being an alice in chains fan (which this reminded me of) I might be a bit biased in your favor =)
Luke

Nick Cave meets Frank Zappa... I really like what you're trying to do, it's quite original sounding.

This kind of redefines borders, doesn't it?
Anthony
Houston, Texas USA
Wow. crazy vocals, nice effects. I really like the backing vox as well.
Karen
Decatur, Georgia USA
Man, those vocals grab your attention at the beginning. Kind of a cross between a classical vocal and Glenn Danzig. I dig the music behind the vocals as well.
Chris
Decatur, Illinois USA
Hauntingly beautiful. Vocals, backing vocals, melody, all great..Very professional sound--while keeping some rawness, which I admire.
Cameron

Operatic Vanity. The singer is in love with his voice on this. He seems to be copulating with it. The female backing vocals are beautiful.

gran cancion. Suena oscura pero con esperanza. La produccion es perfecta para lo que la misma pide!
Thank you Virginia!
translation: great, sounding dark but hopeful. perfect for what this song is asking for!
this sounds very avant garde. i like how the vocals…sounds like a ghost haunting the track. the instrumental is really emotional and dreary in the best way possible. feels like me on a cloudy and rainy day. nice experience. keep up the good work!
Nice work in this music, it is well composed and performed
Sounds interesting like I’m drunk in a horror mansion
Dark vibe. Mysterious sounds avail. Cool.
vocal sofisticado. boa ambientação, ótimo
Thanks Braza:)
