lyrics

Within the thoughts within the din
There is a voice distant and clear
In the blood of the risen Son, darkness you will flee
how strange to die in order to live
and within that death… we will be free

A life engulfed in darkness
Despair of emptiness consumes
Is there any relief, Gaping wounds, Gaping wounds, nothing brings peace

Are you afraid to die
Are you afraid to die
Are you afraid to die
Are you afraid to die

Where is the light, for I cannot see
Extinguished in night, my soul it sinks
The spirits that once brought me delight
Now devour me by candle light

Paint me with blood, fill me with light
I wish to escape tormented life
Let emptiness begin to subside
Where there was turmoil, let peace reside

This is the kind of gothic rock I absolutely love. Oldschool, guitar-heavy music in the vein of Love Like Blood. I'm really hoping for a full-length LP. WotanAK
