The City Owed me Years

Alt-Rock, Gothic Metal, Post-Punk

Lyrics

I came from halls of candlelight,
A ghost in black beneath the rain.
Your iron streets consumed my youth,
And fed themselves upon my pain.


I watched your clocks devour the sky,
Their hands like knives behind my eyes.


This city owed me years,
It drank them from my veins.
Built its kingdom from my sorrow,
Carved its fortune from my pain.

Now I stand among the ruins,
Where the shadows know my name.
You stole the hours from my heartbeat,
Now I'll set your streets aflame.


The moon remembers what you hid,
The graves remember all you stole.
I hear the ghosts beneath the stones,
Calling for the debt you're owed.

This city owed me years,
It drank them from my veins.
Built its kingdom from my sorrow,
Carved its fortune from my pain.

Now I stand among the ruins,
Where the shadows know my name.
You stole the hours from my heartbeat,
Now I'll set your streets aflame.


This city owed me years...
Tonight I came to take them back.
Tonight I came to take them back.

I Hate The Dark Tonight

Dark Alternativ Rock, Gothic Rock

Lyrics

I once wore the night like a velvet crown,
Let its silence carry me when I was down.
Every shadow felt like home to me,
A place where restless hearts could breathe.


But something changed beneath these skies,
And now I turn away my eyes.I hate the dark tonight,
Not for what it is, but what it hides.
It takes away the light I need,
Leaves an empty space inside of me.
I hate the dark tonight.


The moon still hangs where it always shone,
Yet every path feels cold and wrong.
The stars above are dressed the same,
But nothing here remains unchanged.


The night once wrapped me in its grace,
Now it steals what I can't replace.


I hate the dark tonight,
Not for what it is, but what it hides.
It takes away the light I need,
Leaves an empty space inside of me.
I hate the dark tonight.


I still walk beneath black skies,
Still find beauty where the raven flies.
But every shadow cuts a little deeper now,
And I don't know how.


I hate the dark tonight,
Not for what it is, but what it hides.
It takes away the light I need,
Leaves an empty space inside of me.
I hate the dark tonight,
Until the dawn returns what's mine.


I still belong to the midnight air,
To blackened roses and whispered prayers.
But until the darkness loosens its hold,
My heart will carry this silent cold.

Anchor  

Gothic Metal, Post Punk

Lyrics

In the shadow of the cathedral, where the daylight dies
I buried the ghosts that wore my disguise
The years were a furnace, a kingdom of ash
A life built from sorrow, too broken to last

I tasted the venom, I walked with the shroud
My name was a whisper lost inside the crowd
They wanted my ruin, they wanted my grave
But I am breaking the chains that they gave

But your love was the anchor in the eye of the storm
Through the freezing hell, you kept me warm
When the reaper was calling, you held back the night
A beautiful specter, my sovereign light
You carried me through the flames and the mud
We wrote our redemption in tears and in blood

Let the old world burn, let the cinders fall
I am standing tall against the crumbling wall
They couldn't break what you came to save
I rose like a phantom out of the grave


But your love was the anchor in the eye of the storm
Through the freezing hell, you kept me warm
When the reaper was calling, you held back the night
A beautiful specter, my sovereign light


In tears and in blood...
The hell is behind us now.
You are my anchor.

Trapped in Your Skin 

Gothic Rock

Lyrics

The rain is biting hard against the glass
Replaying heavy days we hoped would pass
The winter in my soul is growing cold
Feeding on the secrets that we hold


I feel your heartbeat, but it’s out of time
A distorted echo of a life once mine
I reach my hand out through the frozen night
But you are fading from my sight


I call your name out into the dark
But there is nothing left, not even a spark
We are divided by a twisted fate
Locked inside this house of silent hate
I look at you, but someone else is there
Trapped in a stranger’s flesh, a nightmare we share!


I see your eyes, but they don't look at me
A prison made of bone and agony
You trace the shadows of a hollow gaze
Lost forever in a foreign maze


I call your name out into the dark
But there is nothing left, not even a spark
We are divided by a twisted fate
Locked inside this house of silent hate
I look at you, but someone else is there
Trapped in a stranger’s flesh, a nightmare we share!


Can you hear me through the skin?
Can you break the cage you're in?
Two souls apart, yet face to face

Break the walls! Let me in!

I call your name out into the dark
But there is nothing left, not even a spark
We are divided by a twisted fate
Locked inside this house of silent hate
I look at you, but someone else is there
Trapped in a stranger’s flesh, a nightmare we share!


Trapped in a stranger’s flesh...
I can't reach you.
...remember me.

The Red Moon Knew My Name

Gothic Rock, Dark Alternative Rock

Lyrics

I walked through winters without a face,
A shadow stitched to a borrowed place.
The roads were cold, the nights were deep,
Carrying ghosts I could not keep.


Then the sky opened like an old wound,
And silence stood beneath the moon.


The red moon knew my name,
Called me back through the dark again.
Its crimson light broke every chain,
And I stood as a man in the rain.
The red moon knew my name.


I buried the echoes, one by one,
Left them behind where the river runs.
No rage remains, no debts to pay,
Just fading tracks that lead away.


The night was ending, soft and slow,
And I finally let the old self go.


The red moon knew my name,
Called me back through the dark again.
Its crimson light broke every chain,
And I stood as a man in the rain.
The red moon knew my name.

One chapter closed beneath that glow,
No need to stay where I used to roam.
The red moon watched, and I moved on,
At peace before the coming dawn.

When Silence Screams So Loud 

Gothic ballad, Darkwave

Lyrics

The clock strikes midnight, the room grows cold
Another hour of stories untold
The shadows stretch across the empty floor
My eyes are fixed upon the heavy door
No sign of life, no footsteps in the hall
Just my own breathing echoing off the wall
Where are you lost in this endless night?
Fading away from my desperate sight.

And the silence screams your name so loud
A suffocating, pitch-black shroud
The fear is crawling underneath my skin
Where does the nightmare end, and reality begin?
I’m drowning in the spaces where you used to be
Oh, this quiet agony is killing me.


The candles flicker, burning down to dust
My faith is shaking, swallowed by mistrust
Did the darkness take you, did you lose your way?
Or did you leave before the break of day?
The phone is silent, a weapon in the dark
Leaving a cold and phantom-like mark
I build a prison out of worst-case thoughts
Tangled in the web that panic caught.


And the silence screams your name so loud
A suffocating, pitch-black shroud
The fear is crawling underneath my skin
Where does the nightmare end, and reality begin?
I’m drowning in the spaces where you used to be
Oh, this quiet agony is killing me.


Are you safe out there in the freezing rain?
Or am I destined to inherit this pain?
The world is sleeping, but I am awake
Counting the pieces of my heart about to break.
Hear my silent cry...
Don't let us die.


And the silence screams your name so loud
A suffocating, pitch-black shroud
The fear is crawling underneath my skin
Where does the nightmare end, and reality begin?
I’m drowning in the spaces where you used to be
Oh, this quiet agony is killing me.


Still no sound...
Nowhere to be found.
The silence screams...
Into my broken dreams.

Watching From The Dark

Dark Alternative Rock, Gothic Rock,

Lyrics

This skin is a cage I never chose,
A borrowed face nobody knows.
My thoughts remain, my heart still beats,
Yet every mirror lies to me.


I walk the night where shadows fall,
Close enough to hear your call.


From afar I watch you shine,
A fading ghost beyond the light.
I keep my distance, hold the line,
For fear of bringing harm tonight.
You will never see the war inside.


The world believes I'm someone new,
But every memory leads to you.
The voice has changed, the hands are strange,
Yet what I feel has stayed the same.


One step closer, one mistake,
And everything I love could break.


From afar I watch you shine,
A fading ghost beyond the light.
I keep my distance, hold the line,
For fear of bringing harm tonight.
You will never see the war inside.


If love means guarding what remains,
Then I will carry all this pain.
Better your smile beneath the stars,
Than my darkness in your arms.


From afar I watch you shine,
A fading ghost beyond the light.
I keep my distance, hold the line,
For fear of bringing harm tonight.
You will never know you're still my life.

This body is a prison wall,
But my heart still knows your name.
So I'll remain among the shadows,
And love you just the same.
