Esoterik - Purgatory

Walking in the room dripping faith and doubt
Anticipation, The thoughts to come and leave my mouth
Bound by the truth, Released by the lies
These revelations never fail to satisfy

As color starts to shade
The cracks that line this cave
Expose the fiction
Sanctified; There’s no need to wait
As ashes start to fade
and darkness burns away
renewed convictions
Purified in all we create

Hanging on the moon kicking from the sky
No resolution in this story book that we call life
Roots are only as strong as the ground they stand on
These revelations keep on singing the same old song

As color starts to shade
The cracks that line this cave
Expose the fiction
Sanctified; There’s no need to wait
As ashes start to fade
and darkness burns away
renewed convictions
Purified in all we create

Magenta - Wasted Heart

This might is broken
all feelings yet unspoken
all good things left behind

My secret is my weakness
the heartache's all I'm feeling
all good things must die

My wasted heart
turns to dust again
all the things I've done
left me all alone

My wasted heart I'd do it all again
all the things I've done
left me lonely

Your voice is behind me
and so is everybody else
I'm taking back control

My wasted heart
turns to dust again
all the things I've done
has left me all alone

My wasted heart I'd do it all again
all the things I've done
has left me lonely

*************************
My wasted heart
turns to dust again
all the things I've done
has left me all alone

My wasted heart I'd do it all again
all the things gone wrong
has left me lonely

With a tear she said:
"Don't remind me, that was then
I'm all grown up now, I can't be reminded
terribly when… "

Autumn's crying
you made me promise
And with your smile, you made me pretend
Not to understand
Not to want to know while I was bleeding
while I was out of control

With a tear she said:
"Don't remind me, that was then
I was just a little girl
I'm all grown up now, I can't be reminded
terribly when I was so very young and free"

So sentimental
Capturing me in your essence of disguise
So cynical
Behind your dictionary eyes

I hate you when, you ask me why
I miss you when, I don't feel inside
I love you when you understand me
It kills me when I understand me
I fear you when I fear myself when
I miss believing more than I believe

One more night left to pretend
Forgetting all these terrible things
One more chance to feel alive
Remembering terribly when

With a tear she said:
"Don't remind me, that was then
and I was just a little girl
I'm all grown up now, I can't be reminded
terribly when I was so very young and free"

With a tear she said:
"Don't remind me, that was then
I was just a little girl
when you painted me into your picture
as your angel and so very young and free"

Terribly when...
Terribly when...
Terribly when...

The Last Dance are a unique Goth rock band former in Orange County, California, in 1990 by Guitarist Rick Joyce, vocalist Jeff Diehm, bassist Peter J. Gorritz, and drummer Ivan Dominguez. The music is a hard hitting blend of basic guitar, bass and drums rock ‘n’ roll with 80’s style new wave, postpunk, darkwave, and electronica.

They rely on many years of working together in the stage and studio combined with a wealth of varied musical styles and influences between them to forge a sound that is solid and consistent yet flexible enough to constantly evolve. Years of friendship and shared triumphs and tragedies have also helped them to keep The Last Dance going strong in situations where many would have given up.

The Last Dance have released 3 full length albums, along with several E.P.s and Limited Edition releases. They have also performed exhilarating live shows on stages of all sizes in clubs, halls, and indoor and outdoor festivals throughout North America, Latin America, and Europe and are expected to be hitting Asia and Australia in the near future.

in 2002, tragedy struck The Last Dance when Ivan Dominguez died of pneumonia on August 3, while the band was touring Europe. The last show that he played with the band was on July 31 in Leipzig, Germany; the last song that he played with the band was a cover of "Dead Man's Party" by Oingo Boingo. The Last Dance played a memorial show for Dominguez 15 days later. The last track of The Last Dance's 2003 album, Whispers in Rage, contains Dominguez's drumming, and some say that even from the death Dominguez still plays for the band.

Cindergarden - Sad Eye Doll

Little steps
through the hall
ever find
ever fall

sleeping pill
whisper tall
weeping words
on the wall

Echo the endless, echo the essence
ever eternal, the sleep of a sad eye doll

Quiet dead
breath of night
hallowed
hollow sight

wretched need
in the light
paler shade
pallor white

broken teeth
heart alone
sleeping child
still unknown

fingers crossed
cold as stone
tiny dreams
ever sewn

Echo the endless, echo the essence
ever eternal, the sleep of a sad eye doll

Gutter holes stuffed with rabbits' feet
as blood ran through the street
blindfolds washed up on the shore
in the alleyways of limbos' door

Autumn's Grey Solace - Sáwol

Autumn's Grey Solace Official Youtube Channel

Well I've forgotten
What the spirit wants
Or have I chosen
To suppress its speed

It is where the heart is
Spoken like a forest
Where the moths and animals live
To hide from the mountains
Looming over
What their spirits say
What the moments have
When the mind and heart speak
Speak as one

When the heart
Feels the mind
Crossing paths
Teasing what's inside
So help me
To suppress this wild feeling

It is where the heart is
Spoken like a forest
Where the moths and animals live
To hide from the mountains
Looming over
What their spirits say
What the moments have
When the mind and heart speak
Speak as one
Closer and closer
Lost in the forest
Hold me
I see
What is on the other side
Other side
Watch me as I walk away
From this dream

Let the spirit grow

Scarlet Leaves - Images Of Memories

Autumn's sad colors compose my painting of you
And your face arises in my mind
through pieces of memories
The brush blends... the paint, with dreams, dreams gone by
Dreams taken by time like... dry leaves on the ground

My mind runs
through lost distances
pieces of memories (2)

Passing by
empty souls
inside of memories (2)

Among dead
forgotten hopes
inside of memories (2)

I draw your brown eyes
looking, looking down
Lost in the distance Far from everything and from me
and a tear smears the red... of your lips
and a cold kiss while you clutch me in empty hands
Inspiration ceases to come... with your aberrations
I've forgotten you (2)

And everything that was dead in me, was also dead in you...
inside of memories (2)

The canvas in my mind remains blank
The canvas in my mind
The canvas with inner red

I've forgotten you (3)
For the last time

Formed 2003 in the grey Sao Paulo city of Brazil, by Audret  Haas as the guitar, Jean as the synthesizers, and Claudia O'Ghisi as the vocals. Scarlet Leaves is the owner of a sound as compelling as Fall. Their music has as main characteristics the "ethereal climates" which perfectly combine with a natural highlight of beautiful and angelic vocals, giving form to an authentic sonourous mist.

Musicaly influenced by the gothic rock of the 90s, darkwave, and etherial; Scarlet Leaves can sound original even inside the traditional. Their music is like a great puzzle where the pieces can be emotions, words, feelings and sounds. The sensation you feel when you listen to the songs and your interpretation about the lyrics, which can change according to your state of mind, are also pieces to be inserted in this puzzle.

Scarlet Leaves gets in the studio in 2005 and carries out its first official record. The demo CD Compilation of Early Dreams where Scarlet Leaves presents its listeners with 5 tracks, where the band can show the subtlety atmosphere of its musical universe. They release Outlining States of Mind in 2009, and Believe in 2013.
