Shadowmancer

Speak your temptation, let it be found
Speak your temptation unto me
From incantation, visions appear
From swords and sages, now reappear
Mirrors are fortune, mirrors reveal
Yours is no misfortune to sever what you feel
To echo the night, dark echoes of night,
Voices aloft, voices surround in this hollow place
Calling, falling, life beyond the pale
Falling, we are within the shadows of the veil

Daylight Dies
04:09
|
|||
|
Not if this earth where daylight dies
So far from this earth where daylight hides
Life begets a tragedy
A sordid list of heresy
Into chaos all of us unborn
Once beguiled i took your hand
You led me through to understand
And only here all my thoughts have formed
Night begins a symphony
Our lips collide though do not see
Our blood is racing towards our destiny
Silence comes without delay
No warmth can live among decay
Our blood is pulsing towards some destiny

Baroque Tears
04:15
|
|||
|
Ten silver doves sing in a gilded cage
Apothecary dreams she lies awake
Through desire, black lace and tears
Desire, black lace and tears
Desire, through faith and fear
Desire, desire
Dim the candelabras close the velvet drapes
A gilded harp and drawing room, a spell book to escape

Shocking Blue Narcissus
04:11
|
|||
|
Following through the dark
Hoping for life i fear
Following close in the dark
A daydream awakes from a tear
In all your splendor
Shocking blue
Alive in All in wonder
Shocking blue
Flying through a waking storm
Sheets of rain and my regret
Flying high above the trees i see
Midnight blooms as im mystified
mystified

Golden Dawn
04:45
|
|||
|
There comes a rider through the mist,
A sword of bone and amethyst
Across the plains of barren sand
An eyeless skull of no living man
Eyes that knew the scourge of time
That held the world of old sublime
A prophecy, a portend made
A herald for the end of days
and raise your sword, lift your head to the sun
Awaken from slumber into this golden dawn
A prophet and a sorceress
Arrive in days of such regress
Men in arms and mouths ablaze
Tear apart the peace we’ve made

Count The Hours
03:59
|
|||
|
She will rise and bury me, a death in time, a death will be
She will rise the astral climb, a casting down a turning of the wheel
As we count, as we count
She alone can transform me, rearrange the energy
She alone in her we trust, forever hides or turns to dust
We devour the golden day, we shall feast and then we pray
We invoke the moon to rise, we will dance in silver night

Ashes To Ashes
03:56
|
|||
|
Keep your eyes, keep your eyes, on the flame X4
To speak at all
To breathe at all
To touch but never feel
Feast of fire, feast of fire call her name
Its only a, its only a, moth to a flame
Ashes burn to ashes, like the hopes and dreams of unknown things
Ashes burn to ashes, casting wishes on the hopes of unknown things

Love In A Dark Age
04:46
|
|||
|
A kiss of pure desire
Burn like fire in her eyes
A kiss of earthly delight
Burning out the night
Love in a dark age
Love in a dark place
A whisper in the moonglow
Made of surprise
Like echoes in the distance
Love arise

The Waning Moon

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.

Fantastic album from one of my favorite bands of all time. Every song on this album is great, it was hard to choose one to be my favorite.

An epic dark rock record that will make fans of Sisters of Mercy swoon—massive chords and choruses, plus gothic grandeur.

The Tacks, from Christchurch, New Zealand, channel goth rock's glory days across four, dark, deeply-infectious cuts.

“Strangers” is packed with wonderfully menacing electro-goth—late-night horror movie music for vampire dance parties.

Crimson Curse

Absolutely one of my favorite goth rock bands and albums!! I listen to this album on repeat sometimes; it just never gets old to me. It’s so haunting and beautiful in places and dark and gritty in others, which makes it exemplary goth rock music in my opinion. Exactly the kind of listening experience I want and enjoy so much. Thank you <3
