Gothic Crypt A folkish goth rock gem that combines the intensity of the Sisters of Mercy with the atmospheric approach of Australia's Ikon. Gothic Crypt approves. Favorite track: Decay Is A Wonderful Smith.

Fondas Sumerson Welcome to Obscure Goth by all means! I am sure that new album will be another masterpiece!
Loved the title track of course, but the b-side touched me a little bit more and I think that it should be included in the full length!
Congrats once again! Favorite track: Underbite (Half Mast).

Out of bumfuq There's so much only I could say A yokel nobody listens to a word From the bottom of a lake Where I would not stay You know nobody could ever make it work Swimming inside Of the meaning to find ourselves For the last time Before we all die Is it too much to ask That I sleep this off For the meantime In the mess of my life And since nobody holds one word When we pray We're only teasing ourselves From the inside And when our pain is hard transferred Will we pay For all the cruelty that we display As it's something I could never believe myself I couldn't buy it in any kind of way Yet there's something to the meaning of our inner self That only spiritual thoughts can convey In a lifetime to consider my mortal fears While watching animal friends slip away Is it too much to ask to relieve myself With any substance in any kind of way And since nobody holds one word When we pray We're only teasing ourselves From the inside And when our pain is hard transferred Will we pay For all the cruelty that we display In a lifetime to consider my mortal fears While watching animal friends slip away Is it too much to ask to relieve myself With any substance in any kind of way And since nobody holds one word When we pray We're only teasing ourselves From the inside And when our pain is hard transferred Will we pay For all the cruelty that we display

An old sorrow Beneath me An old sorrow Beneath this sea An old sorrow breaks Beneath these waves Beneath this sea An old sorrow breaks Beneath these waves Beneath me And when the sorrow breaks It ever rains And wade for the gains Of my mistakes In my gloom To lock down the sea Of heartbreak This old sorrow An old heartache Release me An old heart of aches That weights Atop the depths of me An old heart of aches Beneath these waves Beneath this sea An old heart of aches Beneath these waves Beneath me And when the sorrow breaks It ever rains And wade for the gains Of my mistakes In my gloom To lock down she Sea Of heartbreak This old sorrow
