lyrics

There Was a Light

I see the skyline
Of this town
Here from this hill
Where I look down
I am a fool
I'm a face in a crowd
The song in my head
Plays too loud

My halo has faded a long time ago
I'm bruised and I'm battered, I'm taking it slow

Do come and smite
The darkness I dwell on
There was a light
Now it's gone
Who is the holder
Of your heart
A star in this play
What's my part
I do not know
The symbols on your skin
Apart from the thing
Through thick and thin

What if I'm just insane, the thought in the night
Have nothing to offer, I'm dull and I'm trite

Do come and smite
The darkness I dwell on
There was a light
Now it's gone

The pieces you've given they can't be compiled
The cabals in my mind now run way too wild
The words have two meanings and silence will speak
Can you hold the reins now for I am too weak

Do come and smite
The darkness I dwell on
There was a light
Now it's gone

Conium
by Sede Vacante

supported by 5 fans who also own “There Was A Light”

SEDE VACANTE perform female fronted metal, which is modern but also atmospheric without being pathetic in a gothic metal way. Several songs, especially the opening trio of the album is very catchy and driven by strong refrains and powerful vocals. A "must hear" for friends of female fronted heavy music. H.L.

Not All Who Dream Are Asleep
by LYRRE

supported by 5 fans who also own “There Was A Light”

The hurdy-gurdy always makes a fine accompanying instrument to electric instruments, and this is no exception. Here, hurdy-gurdyist and vocalist Michaelina is the primary focal point, and the band aptly supports her to create a neo-Medieval metal folk symbiosis. I love the title track, but going with Forgive & Forget as more representational of the entire recording Nickie Harte Kelly
