Into The Sun

Onwards, upwards into the sun
With you... without you
Faster, fast, then slow
Wander wither where we go
Through unknown we two
Forward up into the blue
Onwards, upwards into the sun
Without you, always with you
Alone as one entwined
Apart together sometimes
Not knowing when it’s done
Heading up into the sun
Oh do we go
Oh do we know
Onwards, upwards into the sun
Without you
Always with you
Onwards, onwards… why do we go onward?
Onward, onward, onward, onward
Onward, onward, onward, onward
Onward, onward, onward, onward

Twilight

Steal all the air from the room
Twilight and we cannot see
Feel my heart in the gloom
Lean toward the dawn when we can flee
Steal all the air from the room
Twilight and we cannot see
Feel my heart in the gloom
Lean toward the dawn when we can flee
Twilight, twilight
Twilight, twilight
Feel through the air
Hold the ground
Fire and we cannot breathe
Feel through the air
Hold the ground
Fire and we cannot breathe
Hide here in the dark
Far from the storm
Slow is the aid we want and need
Stay hidden, stay safe,
Stay warm
Wait for the light to come
Free us from harm
Twilight, twilight
Twilight, twilight
Twilight, twilight
Twilight, twilight

The Illusionist
04:23

|
In darkness blooms the wilted rose
It calls out for light, a heart in chains
From parts unknown, he appears to you
Fate and chance - he uses to woo
Your heart enflamed - he sees you like you want to
And there you are, bound to him in delusion
You cannot destroy the tethers
They are the shackles of your own making
In his arms you fly
His love it makes you high
No need to question why
You cannot even try
Losing yourself you are sinking into him
You slip away into his sweet illusion
Your world grows small, he’s all you wanted
He slips inside - he taunts you, you’re haunted
He pulls the wool - over your eyes
You cannot see, how he… surprise
He makes you disappear
And that’s not what you fear
The end of his whole act
You see the finale at last
Now you know, the coming conclusion
The final ploy of his illusion
You see the ruse now it shows red on your face
He just disappears and leaves you with no trace

Echoes

Will i be lost, will I be found
Lay my head upon the ground
Say my name, turn 'round thrice
Speak your peace, or pay the price
In the light no one leaves
In the dark no one believes
Find me here in the in between
Echoing among the trees
Will i be lost, will I be found
Lay my head upon the ground
Say my name, turn 'round thrice
Speak your peace, or pay the price
To the voices you cleave
In the silence you freeze
I'll find you here in the in between
Echoing among the trees
In the silence, in the dark
I'll find you here in the in between

Your world is dangerous
Your world will harm you
Sleep, sleep
Drift off and dream, dream, dream
Sleep, sleep
Its not it seems, seems - you should
Sleep, sleep
Leave it behind, behind and simply
Sleep, sleep
Escape from your mind, mind and
Sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep
Slip into slumber
Feel yourself go under
The silence embraces it soothes and it strangles
Sleep
Drift and drown let’s
Sleep
It will all go downhill just
Sleep
Fear and pain intertwine
Sleep
Now you’re trapped in your mind you can’t
Sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep
Slip into slumber
Feel the self go under
The silence isolates you
It hides and denies you
Your mind is dangerous
Your mind will harm you

Sword Tongue Oakland, California
Emerging dark wave/alt rock band features new drummer and producer Dan Milligan (worked with Ministry, Stabbing Westward, and KMFDM, others) infusing the music with more depth, drive, and dimension. The new sound is a blended landscape of trip hop, industrial, and progressive rock reminiscent of the 90s alternative scene. The mission directive remains the same - create dark music for dark times. ... more

It Will Come To You LP
by ACTORS
supported by 4 fans who also own “Into The Sun”
It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days. Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago.

Songs hit viscerally, gorgeous vocals, killer synths! Fave tracks: Missing Scene, Phantom Heart.

HYPNOTICA - Composition for Theremin and Electronic Music Synthesizer
by The Night Terrors
A truly original blend of haunting electronics and gothic drama mirroring the complex and unknowable nature of human emotions.

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

The End Is the Beginning
by Mirror Of Haze
Perfectly gloomy Norwegian goth/post-punk, anchored by a punchy rhythm section and driven by chiming guitar lines and morose vocals.

Why do I love this album? Foremost >> choosing a FAV track is impossible. Yes > I am familiar with each track having immersed my brain repeatedly for several weeks already. "Who could ask for more?" asks *Dead Man's Party*. Seriously I will respond with much more detail about each track independently... soon. My first detailed responses will be drafted within features provided to: STATIK magazine. Find more information by visiting: STATIKzine.com
