Lost in the echoes I cant break free
A soul entangled a yearning to be
Whispers in the dark a silent plea
caught in the grip of the enemy

In the In-between  where time stands still
caught in the crossroads against my will
a journey of penance seeking reprieve
in the grey expanse I search and believe 

through the purging flames I rise
Shedding the weight of earthly ties
a rebirth in the liminal space
a phoenix emerges finding grace

Lost in the echoes I cant break free
A soul entangled  a yearning to be

A flicker of hope a distant light
in the mist of shadows through the night
Forgiveness  whispers a gentle breeze
Purgatory's  grasp finding release

A flicker of hope a distant light
in the mist of shadows through the night
Forgiveness  whispers a gentle breeze
Purgatory's  grasp finding release

Finding release
Finding release
Finding release
Finding release

Verse: 
Three heads guard the gates of doom
In shadows deep, eternal gloom
His growl echoes, a haunting tune
A beast of Hades, fate's dark monsoon
With eyes like embers, fierce and wild
A mournful wail, a forgotten child
Chains that rattle, a sorrowed sound
In the depths of night, where lost souls abound

Whispering:
Guarding souls in endless hell
Cerberus keeps secrets well
Beneath the weight of sorrow's spell
Cerberus weeps in shadows fell

Chorus:
Guarding souls in endless hell
Cerberus keeps secrets well
Beneath the weight of sorrow's spell
Cerberus weeps in shadows fell
Guarding souls in endless hell
Cerberus keeps secrets well
Beneath the weight of sorrow's spell
Cerberus weeps in shadows fell

Growl:
Cerberus, hound of doom
In your gaze, we meet our gloom

Three heads guard the gates of doom
In shadows deep, eternal gloom
His growl echoes, a haunting tune
A beast of Hades, fate's dark monsoon
With eyes like embers, fierce and wild
A mournful wail, a forgotten child
Chains that rattle, a sorrowed sound
In the depths of night, where lost souls abound

 Ice

The weight & pressure
What have we done

A state of measure
Far from the sun

The ice is melting
Cant be undone
If only I 
Could...

Run
Run far from here
I offer you my hand
To fight through fear

Take the strain 
Shift through pain
Leave no trace for no one
The fates are wrong
The fates are wrong

Vocals - Jo Gossman and Jeremy A  Wolfe
Lyrics - Jeremy A  Wolfe
Music - Max Rudenko
Lyrics
as the night breathes fear
the reaper draws near
foreshadowing eternal blackness
damnations right
clouding any heavenly sight
ensuring eternal blackness
you hear your bell being rung
no song from Angels sung
closing the void where hope decays 
frozen in time in a darkened haze
crimson skies bleed the dreams I knew
a requiem for the damned morning dew 
chains of regret bind my weary soul
coming through darkness takes its toll

with every heartbeat the shadows conspire
to feed the abyss stroke the funeral pyre
doomed to wander through the endless night
crimson tears falling absent or light

as the night breathes fear
the reaper draws near
foreshadowing eternal blackness
damnations right
clouding any heavenly sight
ensuring eternal blackness
you hear your bell being rung
no song from Angels sung
blackness

wretched figures rise from the ashes of fate
eyes like embers filled with hate
the wait of existence a burden to bare
in the abyss we revel a world stripped burial 
blackness 

in the shadows where the whispers dwell
beneath the weight of a thousands hells
cloaked in darkness the reaper calls echos of doom
in the bloody halls we are doomed 
blackness eternal 

cursed by fate this wretched life
and swallowed by the moon on an endless night with every heartbeat the anger grows 
no light flows we are doomed in despair we bloom bound by chains of eternal destruction

 Reaching up
Pit of Despair
From the depths
Trapped in life's  snare

How will it all unfold
Is there something we should be told

Time is not the enemy
On this path in front of me
Listen through the silence
Find where the compass shows

Haunting
It will never be the same
Drowning
In this flood becoming rain
Fighting
to breath again
Fading
as we descend

Buried deep 
Breath in the air
Your strength within
will prove to be rare
Stay the course
find your way
Appeasing all
Within the fray

Haunting
It will never be the same
Drowning
In this flood becoming rain
Fighting
to breath again
Fading
as we descend

LYRICS
Here it's so dark, pulling me low
Invasive curse,  feel it grow
Twisting these thoughts, that force me down
A weight I can't escape, destined  to drown

This enemy within, it won't let go
It feeds on pain, it thrives in sorrow
Under my skin, it spreads it's lies
No way to win, no where to hide

It eats away, it tears apart
A broken soul, a shattered heart
I scream, I fight, but can't break free
This poison resides inside of me

This enemy within, it won't let go
It feeds on pain, it thrives in sorrow
Under my skin, it spreads it's lies
No way to win, no where to hide

In my veins, it runs so deep
A bitter taste as it starts to creep
Every breath, something so wrong
I'm losing my grip, can't hold on

This enemy within, it won't let go
It feeds on pain, it thrives in sorrow
Under my skin, it spreads it's lies
No way to win, no where to hide

 lyrics 
Through the hollow whispers
I trace the scars of time
Undying light is calling
Fading with the night

In silence we are waiting
For the end to show it's face
The sky above is burning
As it leaves no trace


Who am I
To stand before you, eyes so blind
Who am I
Lost in sorrow, hard to find

Who am I
To stand before you, eyes so blind
Who am I
Lost in sorrow, hard to find

Through the hollow whispers
I trace the scars of time
Undying light is calling
Fading with the night

In silence we are waiting
For the end to show it's face
The sky above is burning
As it leaves no trace


Who am I
To stand before you, eyes so blind
Who am I
Lost in sorrow, hard to find

On the edge of uncertainty 
she whispers of the end
Obscurely set in mediocrity
To bow or not to bend

She walks on nails of prophecy, 
each step proceeds a scream
A lesson in hyprocricy 
Dissolving every dream

Pain killer
A mantra carved in stone, 
Drain the light from hollow skies
'Til mercy learns to die

Crimson rains in crooked halls 
where prayers have turned to rust
She sleeps beneath the weight of time
lost  beneath  the dust


Pain killer
A mantra carved in stone, 
Drain the light from hollow skies
'Til mercy learns to die

Pain killer
A mantra carved in stone, 
Drain the light from hollow skies
'Til mercy learns to die

Lyrics
Verse I
In the heart of the woods where no light dares to tread
A silence of centuries hangs cold and dead.
Twisted roots whisper the tales of the cursed
Where shadows feed first and the hungry thirst.
Black Forest veil, shroud of decay,
Where the sun forgets and the lost souls stay.

Chorus
Black Forest veil, shroud of decay,
Where the sun forgets and the lost souls stay.
Branches like claws, the wind like a wail
Buried in the gloom of the Black Forest veil.

Bridge
Echoes of witches, drowned in the peat,
Underneath moss lies a graveyard of deceit.
Time moves like smoke through the evergreen pain,
A prison of bark and eternal rain.
Wolves cry lullabies to the dying moon,
The soil drinks blood—it remembers too soon.
No path leads out once you're drawn within, 
The trees don't judge, but they welcome your sin.

Chorus
Black Forest veil, shroud of decay,
Where the sun forgets and the lost souls stay.
Branches like claws, the wind  like a wail
Buried in the gloom of the Black Forest veil.
#CRANKIT !

Lights out

Verse:
Distant echoes fade - fade to black,
Heartbeat slows, no turning back.
Shadows dance - dance in empty halls,
A whispered void as darkness calls.

Fading pulses in the night, 
Heavy breath and absent light.
Time collapses into sighs
Frozen tears where sorrow lies.

Where sorrow lies...

Chorus:
We rest 
Forever in the night.
We rest forever in endless blight
We rest  forever- no dawn will ever break
We rest forever we will never be awake

Bridge
I'm lost!
I'm lost!
I'm lost!
I'm lost!
Lights out! (Shadows crawl and creep)
Lights out!
Lights out! (Binding hearts in endless sleep)
Lights out!

Chorus:
Forever in the night.
We rest forever in endless blight
We rest  forever- no dawn will ever break
We rest forever - and ever

In the night.
We rest forever in endless blight
We rest  forever- no dawn will ever break
We rest forever - we will never be awake

LIGHTS OUT

Swallow The Moon - LIGHTS OUT (SONG)

 lyrics
Forgiving
Trust in the shadows
Within
Without knowing
Darker
And darker, the pathway
Semblance returning
An old friend to me

Watchers in the night
White glow in their eyes
Bleeding from their palms
Shouting to be calm
Somewhere to be whole
Something taking hold
Treading where the pain is
Master of us all

Rebirth
Dreadful exhaustion

Revolting
Reflection
Embellish
Deception

you're molting
you are changing
the error
ever consuming

increasing
deprivation
the enticement
desperation

become violence
become hatred
become haunted
become anguish

become worthless
isolated
on your own

answers will come
wading out to the sea
towards the sun
with a full heart
it will break at the seams

always alone
wounds remain
and the pain wont concede

Tantalizing, the nectar of the gods.
Used and discarded, you alone
Will have to face the shadows
Upon release
Of tension, you will scream out
For the light to prevail
And the answers will not come to you
Arent you ashamed
Lost drowning
In the abyss
Of
Torment
You disgust me

Lethargic Dreams II

Swallow The Moon - Lethargic Dreams II (remaster)

https://youtu.be/SzqmgDUUnxM

Lyrics:
The dreams have gone, they’ve slipped away
Denied of sleep, in still I lay
sometimes wandering in and out 
More like a whisper, than a shout.

The day soon will be ending
The fabric now torn,  in need of mending 


Eluding my ever weakened state 
While feeding colors  painting fate
Conjuring form out of thin air 
Seeing everything that was once there

The day soon will be ending
The fabric now torn,  in need of mending 
The day soon will be ending
What once was light is now bending

The day soon will be ending
The fabric now torn,  in need of mending 
The day soon will be ending
What once was light is now bending

lyrics 
Verse 1:
In this world of pain
Surrounds me like rain
Heart heavy with sorrow
No hope for tomorrow

Chorus:
Sadness consumes me
In this dark reality
Lost in the shadows
Of my own tragedy

Verse 2:
Memories haunt me
Of what used to be
Now all that's left
Is this misery

Chorus:
Sadness consumes me
In this dark reality
Lost in the shadows
Of my own tragedy

Verse 3:
I long for the silence 
But I hate to be lonely
I’m lost with no guidance
This life creeps slowly

Bridge:
I scream into the void
But no one hears my cries
I'm drowning in despair
As the darkness fills my eyes

Chorus:
Sadness consumes me
In this dark reality
Lost in the shadows
Of my own tragedy

Outro:
I'm lost in this darkness
Forever trapped in my pain
No light to guide me
Just the echoes of my shame.

Glass eyes reflecting 
The dimming of the sun
One final  breath,  and
another  undone
He sews the night of  broken seams
In doorways where the children dream,


Grave lullabies
 behind cold skin
Each name erased
 where death begins
He sews the night of  broken seams
In doorways where the children dream,

He brings the hush, 
the velvet tide
No screams, no trace 
just sleep inside
The cradle falls, 
the blood runs deep
Close your eyes
the Sandman brings sleep

Ashes now bloom 
in a secret hidden room
He decorates the air
 with shades of doom
No mercy shown here,
 only his perfect art,
He signs his name 
on every  still now heart

Glass eyes reflecting 
The dimming of the sun
One final  breath,  and
another  undone
He sews the night of  broken seams
In doorways where the children dream,

Swallow the Moon - Sandman

Winds of the past
Ashen skies weep over broken stones
The roots of time pierce through my bones

Winds of the past, come tear me apart
Rend through the veil, devour the heart
Burdened by memories I cannot kill
Dragged by the shadows against my will

I walked the path of ruin's grace
Felt the cold in sorrow’s face
Each step I take is not my own

Time is a blade, rusted and slow
Carving the soul with every blow

Ashen skies weep over broken stones
The roots of time pierce through my bones

Time is a blade, rusted and slow
Carving the soul with every blow

Time is a blade, rusted and slow
Carving the soul with every blow

Time is a blade, rusted and slow
Carving the soul with every blow

Winds of the past, come tear me apart
Rend through the veil, devour the heart
Burdened by memories I cannot kill
Dragged by the shadows against my will

I walked the path of ruin's grace
Felt the cold in sorrow’s face
Each step I take is not my own

Time is a blade, rusted and slow
Carving the soul with every blow
