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

Music by Max Rudenko

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
