lyrics

We close our eyes to see
The dreams that will set us free
Through lids that help conceal
Passions that we want to feel
But every waking breath
Slowly drained of all our strength
Deprived of what is true
Watch as all our dreams turn to
Shadows of gold

Our backs turned to the light
Shadows that are cast we sight
The wonder what they hold
Spectres that shimmer as gold
Desires are all met
Senses are left all beset
Reach out as we implore
Fingers claw at the night for
Shadows of gold

We sail out with the hope to discover
A ship caught in a tempest we can no longer steer
In oceans full of love ruled by fear
Forever we are drifting in shadows of gold

Inside us is the spark
That can burn away the dark
Dissolve the veil of lies
Phoenix from the ashes rise
And as the ambers fly
Swirling in the midnight sky
Afraid to let them go
We hold on to what we know
Shadows of gold

We sail out with the hope to discover
A ship caught in a tempest we can no longer steer
In oceans full of love ruled by fear
Forever we are drifting in shadows of gold
We’re mesmerised by our desires
Our minds forever trapped in a black dog's serenade
A world that has become oh, so cold
Incessantly we’re searching for shadows of gold

It’s really hard to pick a favourite track, came here for Holy Scorn, replayed Bloodspiller a good few times before settling on Hungry for existence. Shame to see that I’ve missed the cassette but I’m sure I’ll see vinyls in the not too distant future, these lads are going places! 10/10. DNAcorruption
