zephyrluse I didn't know I needed this synth-y, gothic-wave beautifullness in my life, but I so glad I found it. I can't pick a favourite song; I love them all. Favorite track: The Changing Winds of Fortune.

Igni Great production. And songs that will leave you mesmerized. Love it! Can't wait for the vinyl ;) Continue the great work! Favorite track: I Would Spread My Wings So Wide.

FLESH MECHANIC Dis Pater, the mastermind behind Midnight Odyssey, jumps into another genre, this time a melancholic version of classic new wave/synthpop. And as people who follow this guy know, everything he touches turns to gold. Easily one of the most talented musicians I know. Looking For Semblance is a nice throwback to the sweet and sour times of goth ballads that will 100% satisfy your cravings for something with an extra crust of nostalgia. Favorite track: Escape.

To hear the calling of the thunder To be the holder of a dream and hold it near To be a rider on the storm clouds And bring the rains who beg it dear I bring the clouds to shield the sunlight glowing over me I wish to part the sky in two and drown their dreams I want the falling rains to wash away the dreadful stains To flood the blighted land and seas and start again To ride the changing winds of fortune To rise into a storm of fear and hear the gale To wait the long and tiring journey Where waves come crashing from the sea I bring the clouds to shield the sunlight glowing over me I wish to part the sky in two and drown their dreams I want the falling rains to wash away the dreadful stains To flood the blighted land and seas and start again To hear the calling of the thunder To be the holder of a dream and hold it near To be a rider on the storm clouds And bring the rains who beg it dear To see the crashing of the lightning To feel the cold air blowing in (its blowing in) To think the sun could never see me To know the deluge will now stay

Escape 04:07
Falling in so deep Memory so faint Dark shade, swallowing All that’s left of your soul Your figure sways Like a frail tree Blown away By the slightest breeze Escape this place You run away Don’t be afraid You’ll fly again You will set sail And turn away From all this pain To live Crawling on your knees Pale eyes, drifting Your strength wanes, you fall Your courage has gone Your tired eyes Can’t stay awake Falling in to a deep sleep Escape this place You run away Don’t be afraid You’ll fly again You will set sail And turn away From all this pain
3.
In mazes dark, a hopeful light When any light will do Escape the dim black night Walk into something new How quick you follow How quickly you forget The darkness left behind You’re all in need of someone You all need a sign You’re all looking skywards The sun has left you blind Into the light, its so defined It bends and twists into Whatever you desire It always follows you And quickly changes To a familiar form Just like a mirror You’re all in need of someone You all need a sign You’re all looking skywards The sun has left you blind
4.
Mould a man whilst young Into the shape you so desire Rid his weakness now A model leader will surely grow And stand behind him And lean unto him And live life for him And give life to him Reward good behaviour Usurper or saviour Worthy god or demon Trustworthy or treason Unleashing a toxic wave Of vile raw vitriol Vilify and chastise The weakness soon will show Then stand behind him Then stab into him Then take life from him Then rise above him Reward good behaviour Usurper or saviour Worthy god or demon Trustworthy or treason Reward good behaviour Trustworthy or traitor Worthy god of reason Usurper of treason
5.
Tired of silence and confusion Awaiting answers that never came Tired of searching and seeking It just keeps me awake Keep my mind alerted For a meaning, however vague Looking desperately for guidance Do the stars point the way And I know all the times I looked inside to find a key Something buried deep in me And I know when I tried to find a meaning or a way I just wasted all my days I’ve dug so deep, to cultivate a past The memories won’t ever last Every time, a moment I rejoice Someone takes away my voice Every door deserted Every pathway is in vain Hoping quietly for semblance Are the answers all the same? And I know when I tried to find the secrets of the past It just never made much sense And I know if I tried to seal the burning of the flame It just swallowed me the same Now I know all the times I looked inside to find a key It was never there in me Now I know when I tried to find a meaning or a way I lost many, many days Now I know when I tried to find the secrets of the past There was never any chance Now I know if I tried to seal the burning of the flame It would wither all the same

You may think you’re alone There’ll be a time when you are You’ll be a stranger to love There’ll be an absence of warmth Close your eyes Look deep inside Watch that fire burn Whispers heard Still the darkness Blinds your sight In the fading light The Coldness binds Some might say you’re alone There’ll be a moment in the night You’ll gaze upon the night sky There’ll be a star in the dark You may know you’re alone There’ll be a danger in your mind You’ll have to look towards the sky There’ll be a home up high
7.
All the years slowly waste away All the memories fading in the shade Your existence is in question now Try one last time, try to fight again Cold and lonely you walk through the night You’re slowly stumbling in The fading moonlight You turn to see all your journey behind But in the darkness There’s nothing to find Bold and lonely You call to the night You’re slowly crumbling You’ll give up the fight You look to see all The journey ahead But all you see is death Come the morning you slowly wake Will the sunlight, even stir your eyes Dream of past times, wander in your mind Take the journey, face the troubled times
8.
You will hold me up on high You will throw me to the sky You will gladly watch me fall I will do what I must do It will all come down to you Will you stand and watch me go I would spread my wings so wide If all I could do was fly I would fly so far from you I would watch all those who fight Ready to take all they like Leaving no one left behind You will leave me out to dry In the desert sun so bright Leave my flesh to worms and flies I would crawl into the shade But my vision starts to fade Just a silhouette of you
