lyrics

A season only cold as the sun dictates
A dawn breaks ever lit as a globe rotates
The space between the surface of soil and fire
Distance beyond the grace of a raging pyre
Again, we scale the breadth of our truth

The only wasted light is the one not seen
The only squandered path is the one we flee
We scale the depths and heights of a cruel embrace
The only fading truth is the one not gleaned
Am I waiting there, just for you?

The stark reality of a stone-etched fate
A movement cognizant as our will relates
Existence subject to pervading fails
A frail duality of joy and despair
Again, we scale the walls of our truth

The only wasted light is the one not seen
The only squandered path is the one we flee
We feel the depths and heights of a warm embrace
The only fading truth is the one not gleaned
Am I waiting there, just for you?

We've plumbed the chasm deep
traversed the frozen keep
We've walked the ocean floor
and begged the Gods for more
We've touched the precious few
And cut the deepest blue
We've kissed the bleakest pale-
pierced the elusive veil of our truth
Who knew we'd make it through?

The only wasted light is the one not seen
The only squandered path is the one we flee
We plumb the depths and heights of a dual embrace
The only fading truth is the one not gleaned
Am I waiting there, just for you?

A Pleasure
by NOIR

Outstanding electro-infused darkwave from the voice of NYC goth progenitors Fahrenheit 451. With NOIR, Athan Maroulis, and co. keep the dark muse pedestaled, replete with a sublime Fad Gadget tribute. A Cloud of Ravens

by The Unquiet Grave

The final installation of this classic, influential series. A Cloud of Ravens

Are You Afraid of the Dark?
by SCARY BLACK

Albie Mason’s profound, atmospheric soundscapes steer as much toward the classics as they do new, bleak pastures. A go-to artist for modern gothic. A Cloud of Ravens

It's so hard to pick just one favourite track. The whole album is just so magical, so special! It's like a warm shroud of enveloping, nourishing darkness. Onyx Tomb

I've enjoyed The Wake since the 90s. The new album feels like a trip to right where they left off! Goth Rock at it's best! I can't wait to see where they go from here!! aklosowski22

Strangers
by Grey Gallows

“Strangers” is packed with wonderfully menacing electro-goth—late-night horror movie music for vampire dance parties. Bandcamp New & Notable May 8, 2023
