Intro (The Servant)
03:55

In shadows deep, a servant spoiled,
Bound to a demon's wicked whim.
His heart once pure, is now stained,
Yet yearning for the light within.
He served a demon placed in a mirror,
But dreamed of skies painted blue.
Each cruel command, a whispered word,
To break the chains that held him true.
One day, as darkness filled the air,
A vision came, giving him sight.
It whispered secrets that held the truth,
Then guided him by fractured light.
He dared defy the broken dream,
The master's tongue who bound him close.
He begged for help, but lost all faith,
To cleave the bond that held him most.
Through the night and ice cold rain,
He walked far into a shadowed path.
He found redemption within a song,
A melody sung, the song of wrath.
At last, he reached a broken tomb,
That darkened the realm and all between.
He stood before his fate, elate,
And glimpsed the light, of which he dreamed.
The master devoured another soul,
Riddled with scars, and left to fade.
He tucked the words back in the mouth,
Of those who dared speak his name in vain.
In dark rusted halls, he found his home,
The curse was lifted before darkness fell.
This servant, who stood before the mirror,
Became a reflection of his former self.

Fading Light

In the quiet of the night shadows start to Dance
I whispered to the stars lost in a trance
Once a haunted place now a dying ember
Love that burns so bright I can barely remember
All my life a darkness fell
Silent stories do not tell
In the void where we used to hide
I searched for you through a dying light
Echoes of your laughter haunt the halls
Let the kisses linger as twilight falls
Promises they leave and whither in the fray
The sun has become now
Autumns decay
All my life a darkness fell
Silent stories do not tell
In the void where we used to hide
I searched for you through a dying light
(Through a dying light
With empty sight
Another lonely night
Without you by my side)

A Taste I Can't Deny

Got that feeling that creeps in like an animal
Got an urge that makes you feel wonderful
Take me home for the night
Voices coming from the other side
Got me moving like a cat that's about to strike
You can go ahead forget about the other guy
Take it slow for the night
Voices coming from the other side
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Don't let me waste your time
You got me begging for a taste of the other night
And now you know
Just let me keep you tight
You got me begging for a taste that I can't deny
But now I know
Got a buzz in my body that I can feel
I got a noise in my heart that feels all too real
Take me back to the room
Where we all went to praise the moon
Got me moving like a raven that's on a kill
When the room spins yet I'm here standing still
Dim the light all too soon
We got the screams and all the doom
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Don't let me waste your time
You got me begging for a taste of the other night
And now you know
Just let me keep you tight
You got me begging for a taste that I can't deny
But now I know

Until Dawn

In the stillness of the night I feel your presence
A ghostly figure haunting all my dreams
Whispering words I cannot comprehend
In this darkness I'm so lost it seems
Your eerie whispers echo in the halls
I'm trapped in a spectrals warm embrace
Your phantom touch leaves me cold and enthralled
A special love that I just can't erase
I can't erase
I'm haunted by your shadows in the night
Your spectral presence keeps me up til dawn
I'm lost in this ghostly realm
I can't find the light
In this eerie silence love is gone
Love is gone
Through the shadows I searched for a sign
Your silhouette dances just out of reach
In every corner of this heart of mine
It's your spirit's song that keeps trying to speak
The clock ticks on it's the hour of wrath
Our memories are gloom that seem to interlace
In the fabric of time go ahead do math
Stitching whispers in between the space
I can't erase
I'm haunted by your shadows in the night
Your spectral presence keeps me up til dawn
I'm lost in this ghostly realm
I can't find the light
In this eerie silence love is gone
Love is gone
Beneath the moon where the ravens sing
I feel the words of your ghostly past
In this nocturne in my eternal sleep
Your essence is all that I have
That I have

Our Own Little World
02:53

I love the heat dripping down my skin
It drowns the thoughts within
Like a work of art crafted just for me
A taste of ecstasy
Now you got me praying
I remember how to walk
Bring me back to the womb
I'm begging you to stop
Please don't cry
Until I say the word
Its our precious spot
Our own little world
I love the lips sipping down my sin
It cleans the rot within
Like a word of thought left here just for me
A taste of ecstasy
Now you got me reaching
For the key to break the lock
Bring me back to your room
I'm begging you don't stop
Please don't cry
Until I say the word
Its our precious spot
Our own little world
Please don't cry
Until I say the word
Its our precious spot
Our own little world

I never thought that I could feel this way
But my heart's been captured by a ghostly grey
You whispered secrets in the dead of night
A love I thought I never could get right.
I'm falling in love with a ghost
A love that's real, but never close
It haunts me everywhere that I go
It haunts me everywhere that I go
They turn and twist and then start taking shape
A sinister dance with a terrible fate
My heart races because I can't escape
This nightmare has become all of my faith
I'm falling in love with a ghost
A love that's real, but never close
It haunts me everywhere that I go
It haunts me everywhere that I go
Everywhere that I go

Carnival Of The Damned

Welcome to your nightmare where death holds life in the way
A symphony of terror in the cold light of day
A chilling apparation in ghostly layers of grey
But there's no way out
There's no way out
From this house
Somethings coming
Somethings running
Somethings coming
Somethings got me
Somethings got me
Somethings got my by the heart
By the heart
Welcome to a daydream where life tends to break apart
Broken like a mirror into a million pieces of art
A gleaming ideation of what is wrong from the start
But there's no way out
There's no way out
From this house
Somethings coming
Somethings running
Somethings coming
Somethings got me
Somethings got me
By the heart
Somethings got me
Somethings got me by the heart

Yours and Yours Alone

I always find it hard to breath
When you look
When you look at me
I always cant seem to get it right
No matter how hard that I try
Cuz you cant fall
Further from my heart
Further from my home
You belong to me
I always find it hard to see
Through the veil
Of the pouring rain
I cant seem to get it right
No matter how far that I fly
Cuz you cant fall
Further from my heart
Further from my home
(You belong to me)
Cuz you cant fall
Further from my heart
Further from my home
You belong to me

Reflections

Who's this person in the mirror
Standing there in fear
Trying to find the person I'm meant to be
Where is my reflection?
Reaching for connection
Trying to find the person I'm meant to see
I can't find you in me
This person I used to be
(I used to be)
Heard the silence in the scream
The words lost in between
Trying to find this person thats lost in me
Where is my perception?
Begging for reception
Trying to find myself and what I need
I can't find you in me
This person I used to be
I can't find you in me
This person I used to be
(I used to be)

Losing A Home
04:18
|

|
I try to hide something from nothing
For no reason I can't think anymore
I know it doesn't matter between us
I can't stop
I can't stop wanting more
You make me feel like I am losing a home
You make me realize that I am losing control
You make me feel like I'm irresistible
You make me feel that I can conquer the world
I try to hide someone from no one
For some reason I can't take anymore
I know what really matters between us
I cant love
I cant love you no more
Than I already do
You make me feel like I am losing a home
You make me realize that I am losing control
You make me feel like i'm irresistible
You make me feel that I can conquer the world
You make me feel like I can do anything for you
Like I can do anything
You make me feel like I can do anything for you
Make me conquer the world
As long as it's for you
As long as it's for you
For you

Crying Vessel
With a sound as haunting and cryptic as the name suggests, Crying Vessel has been
at the forefront of the goth and post-
punk scene revival since 2011. The band
consists of Slade Templeton, who brings his evocative vocals, guitar, and synth skills to the fore, and the dynamically intense Basil Oberli, whose drums are the
heartbeat of the group's dark, rhythmic allure.
