Deep Black

Zero The Hero

Lyrics and Vocals by Oscar Lindberg.
This death metal track weaves brutal intensity with sweeping cinematic elements, creating a haunting journey through damnation and redemption. A descent into hell—both literal and metaphorical—drives the narrative, as the protagonist confronts their past sins in a desperate search for absolution.

Confession (Feat. Oscar Lindberg)

We build a garden on the highest hill
We think we're safe now, standing oh so still
We say we're saving everything we see
But turn it backwards, you and me

There's an echo in the air
A feeling of despair
An angel watching from above
We kill the things we love
Oh, it's the wrong prayer in the night
We're chasing the wind, and losing the light
A blind faith, a beautiful mistake
For a sleeping giant we refuse to wake

The winds we follow, they will fade and die
While a long, cold winter learns to fly
Our paper castles, they will never last
The future's frozen in the past

There's an echo in the air
A feeling of despair
An angel watching from above
We kill the things we love
Oh, it's the wrong prayer in the night
We're chasing the wind, and losing the light
A blind faith, a beautiful mistake
For a sleeping giant we refuse to wake

Deep in the atom, a star's lonely heart
We've been afraid of it right from the start
A fire eternal, steady and true
But we want the fleeting, the shiny and new

Oh, the wrong prayers in the night
Oh, we’ve chased the wind, and lost the light
A blind faith, a stupid mistake
For a sleeping giant we refused to wake
Oh, it's the wrong prayer in the night
We're chasing the wind, and losing the light
A blind faith, a beautiful mistake
For a sleeping giant we refused to wake
For a sleeping giant we refused…
