Stale are these memoir's eyes
To recall when I first caught your light
Now a white noise drapes your colored frame
It's fleeting harsh, and black as rain
To forage back upon fables grand
Recall just once where I held your hand
Now remembering falls cold as death
Nothing but dust: time's ancient breath.
[chorus]
Oh my writhed, forgotten dear
Mountains of life; Oceans of years
Could I would, with joyful cheers
Give all my cries for all your tears
Sparks in the dark are distant chimes
Recalling you so close to mine
Now dreams abound hold no turmoil
While by your side, in mortal coil
[chorus]
Oh my lost, forsaken dear
Bound by earth's decaying gears
Could I would, with frightful leers
Trade all my cries for all your tears
O' Holy Lord, please come and
Put to sleep this breaking heart
How I wish for once to rise
And gaze on you again;
To see your dawn
[chorus]
Oh my one, eternal dear
Of decrepit, dissolving meres
Could I would, with hopes and fears
Kill all my cries for all your tears
For all your tears...
For all your tears...

So Far Under

Rant, and rave, and toil, and scream
Been thinking about you well beyond my dreams
Looking back again to our sequel greet
That started up surprises on these dismal streets
Head to toe in black; you're a lovely scene
Looking like a goddess from a magazine
Heavy, hearty night surely starting fine
Tasty sample tray with a glass of wine
Could she be the one? Is it really true?
Stand so close to you, while we're tapping shoes
Caught you once before in a friendly fade
Meet you one time more past that masquerade
Darkened room displayed in a lighted stream
That showers upon you in red & blue & green
Seems these other mothas haven't got a clue
Is this all for real? And I can't believe it's you!
Possibly or maybe and it's rightly so
We contemplate our action with a mature flow
All around us lightly dimming harder heats
Feel our hearts a-pumping while stature depletes
Fairly or uncertain is the cosmic beat
Your silence when unspoken is a dismal treat
Even more delightful in between the bars
We’re heading in for outcome,
as we're counting stars, again
[chorus]
With those eyes so bright, wild hair pinned tight
I have viewed with might, your dance to mystic thunder
Were our feelings right? Now an endless trite
One of many nights, where we're so far under
How I spotted you, as the brimming grew
You have felt it too, and it's all a wonder
Were it stay-home plights, or at outing sites
Always doomed to spite; cause as we so far under
[chorus]
Eyes a gleaming floe, looking to and fro
Through the jokes we stow, our innuendos plunder
Observation keen, corner pupils seen
We will stride unclean, when it's so far under
With those moves offhand, You're a wonderland
And your beauty's grand, with your lightened umber
As we're spinning round, to that grinding sound
Saints become unwound, to be so far under
[chorus]
I have played a fool, selfishly uncool
Adding to the fuel, now it's all a blunder
With a thriller chill, and a trickster skill
Cautiously will spill, ever so far under
Anytime of day, in that rainbow gray
Should we kneel and pray, as we're torn asunder
Sour as it seems, live it all in dreams
Where your sunshine beams, never so far under

How It Came To Be
07:34

|

As I greeted you with shaking hands
I couldn’t quite believe; as if I've been deceived
With a tally up over your shroud
Your feet so sorely ground
Your head above the clouds
Now the verbs and vowels are shuttered down
From that life; the clown
Holding a sinner’s crown
And it frightens me, to grieve these deeds
Nor to ever leave just how it came to be
But now the loosening to hold
From your soporific glow
This time has called to dissolve
All deep attraction in my soul
Just as a stone to throw
I'll gravely let you go
And to that blackened sea
Will falsely set you free
[chorus]
On the written words we shared that day
Knowing the cost was weighed
It's just the price we paid
To that wicked dream I tried to cling
And though for naught it'd bring
I'd give you everything
I would give another go to show
But now that ribbon's cut
And every portal shut
Forging on the fool's play wasn't wise
Yet such a kingly prize;
Those eyes I've rhapsodized
But now the truth has been unscrolled
From from the depths of the untold
Setting secrets all afire
In a height so long desired
As a winged man to the sun
Who thought that his flight had you won
And from his fateful claim
Now ever falls aflame
All out heartache, you're adored;
But such a shock to weep in horror, as
One and two and three and four
My heaven's gate was at hell's door
[chorus]
On the written words we shared that day
Knowing the cost was weighed
It's just the price we paid
To that wicked dream I tried to cling
And though for naught it'd bring
I'd give you everything

Never For You
05:25
|
|

Roaming fast, beauty sites
Flooring past traffic lights
Dark of night, nearing rest
Watch air rise in your chest
Rhythm on, tension low
Yet the blood boils so
Summer nights, winter frights
Lonesome mind; wrong is right
None to give, all to hide
Leave me be by your side
Feel the breeze, haunting blue
Like a ghost blowing through
Nothing told, nothing knew
Like some old black voodoo
Something’s false, something’s true
I’ll drive you home: But never for you!
Roundabout, silent prose
Twilit trees cast shadows
Colored garbs, build suspense
Perfume grasps, like incense
Feeling down from our space
Locked beside given grace
Thoughts abound, tempter’s song
Telling me: right is wrong
Hold me close, hold me tight
Free from grief and its might
Please don’t speak; please don’t start
Nod it so, cross my heart
Once again, offered so
Just to be near your flow
Something’s warped, tried and true
I’ll take you home: But never for you!
[chorus]
Never for you!
I do not not want this hour to end
Euphoric senses take the mend
If we could extend the pretend
I feel as though I will ascend
My heart melts with the time we spend
This car-wreck trite is my godsend
If I can do what I intend
I hope to bring you home again

As Shallow As The Deep
09:00

|

Sailing on these open seas
A sidekick beside mortal grief
That captain steering hard; not letting go
Upon the waves of what we reap
In brine as shallow as the deep
With nothing left upon this scow to show
A sudden shock of sheer surprise
The shoreline of your broken eyes
Came echoing across these wooden bows
While suffering your sweetened spice
And dipping into blood-stained vice
I discard all those ancient worded vows
[chorus]
Oh, the fantasy
You're everything I fancied
To construe
Oh, the fallacy it molds
Yet sigh me one more call
And I'll swim out to you
Mastering those moves with art
And letting all else fall apart
I realign the stars and set the course
I'll travel tides through icy snow
And beeline for that summer glow
Unto those ray's own operatic source
Though plunging on this drive is hard
Your carols furl my heart to scarred
And turn all focus to your body's spin
Your charm therein, hair's wavy win
Your smirkish, soft sea lion grin
I'll count up every goosebump on your skin
[chorus]
Oh, the majesty
Your shimmers far beyond
The dark broke through
Oh, the tragedy it holds
Yet sing me one more song
And I'll sink down to you
As Ahab set with spearheads marked
On hauntings which were surely sparked
I wish mine wasn't mustered off a whim
Our tale is told, big as a whale
Though looking now, is null in scale
And cautioned; had I only learnt to swim

Laurels
05:34
|
|

|
Would you ever hound
Upon that solemn ground
On which we lain about
And you are so forthright
And you are out of sight
When you are silent as a drought
Your dresses so confirm
Yet timing so short-term
Flash reasons to conceive
Though buried far below
In black soil's deepest stow
I reckon to believe
[chorus]
You're dancing on the laurels
Dancing on the laurels
How is it you peruse
A stunning chartreuse muse
My fancy taken in
Our speaking terms endear
With nothing else to hear
And dead air for the win
And while I'm watching you
Across that pale room
Instead of vivid screen
Sarcasm running fowl
The retorts you have crowned
And though you are the queen
[chorus]
You're dancing on the laurels
Dancing on the laurels
Turning wise, turning straight
Even though I still pray
That you're are dancing on this grave
And though hoping your life
Greets a brand new day
I don't want you to turn away

Always, Eternally
08:00
|
|
||
|
As these years trickle on
Underneath a different sky
A yearning so deep and scarred it seems
Was all so wrong and nigh
It’s not hard to see that I
Have fallen in my reprobate mind
[chorus]
Come on along, shall we remove
All of these words, brewed to undue
Always dark thoughts, eternally shrewd
Though which proclaims my love for you
Forget past travesties
Long bleary and overrun
For any chance that I had left
Died under that crimson sun
I hear your bed of flowers
Is nice this time of year
[chorus]
Along...

Strength [*bonus track]
06:15

All this time demonstrates
Pain never dissipates
Just let go. Let it die
Drop the ball. Cauterize
And as this specter wind howls & moans;
Would I have such virtue, dear,
To up and leave your bones?
[chorus]
Every moment, I need the strength
Every moment, harder with length
Every moment, in silent prayer
Every moment, you're everywhere
Sense it pound, Boldly scold
Keep it far, from sin's hold
Let it slip, whispered right
Lock it in, from the blight
And as these turquoise clouds gust abound;
Will I have such courage, dear,
To stand and hold my ground?
[chorus]
Every moment, I try to leave
Every moment, my will's bereaved
Every moment, try to restart
Every moment, you clutch my heart

Circe Invidiosa
by The Secret Experiment
Dark, brooding, sensual and smooth. Music, which I wish mine was. If you like the style of the band Diorama, you will love this.

Highly overlooked album. Takes me back to my 80's days. Very much couch-sitting & discussion party music. Very much belongs in a John Hughes film.

I Saw The Worst In You (EP)
by English Death
Thumpy & Catchy . Something I would smoke cloves cigarettes to. Taking me back to coffee shop Goth days. Very audio-tape sounding, for a great retro feel.

This album takes a lot of inspiration from gabber, techno and ambient, Apolinario made sure that this compilation is varied in between genres which I appreciate.

On their 10th record, the Glasgow-based group serves up more wonderfully menacing, gothy synthpop, perfect for dungeon dancing.
