lyrics

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

This is the kind of gothic rock I absolutely love. Oldschool, guitar-heavy music in the vein of Love Like Blood. I'm really hoping for a full-length LP. WotanAK

Crimson Curse

Absolutely one of my favorite goth rock bands and albums!! I listen to this album on repeat sometimes; it just never gets old to me. It’s so haunting and beautiful in places and dark and gritty in others, which makes it exemplary goth rock music in my opinion. Exactly the kind of listening experience I want and enjoy so much. Thank you <3 asphodel
