Nothing Lasts Forever

As darkness fell... a sea of stars lit twilight skies
Out of thin air by my side you materialised
Were you drawn in by my eyes shining crystalline?
Under your wing the stars briefly seemed to align
Mid winter chill, old friends were brought together
Sharing our dreams, songs we still treasure
Love always dies, we know nothing lasts forever
Recalling faerytales of times we spent together
Silver tongued lies, promises that you could never
Destroy the faerytale then you snuffed out the embers
Sailing the skies, enjoying drinks some 5 miles high
Shared hotel rooms, the stunning views by mountainside
Dragged back to Earth in slow motion we fall apart
Exchanging words that drove the stake into my heart
No winter chill yet old friends grew colder
Moments I dreamed could last a little longer
Love always dies, you know nothing lasts forever
Recalling faerytales of times we spent together
Silver tongued lies, promises that you could never
Destroy the faerytale then you snuffed out the embers
And oh
I know you know the price of letting go
As the nights grow colder
Won't you be here just a little bit longer
With me...
And oh
All that's left of the fires are cinders
Smouldering
As you slipped away I heard you say...
Love always dies, you know nothing lasts forever
Recalling faerytales of times we spent together
Silver tongued lies, promises that you could never
Destroy the faerytale then you snuffed out the embers

6ft Deep

He’s gone and broke her heart again
She’s crying and broken on the floor
I hoped this time she’d learnt her lesson
Already she’s going back for more...
They shared their first kiss in a graveyard
Where even true love comes to an end
Her hopes for them reached to the heavens
He smiled - so happy to pretend...
His heart could be outshone by candles
Her love was brighter than the sun
To him - she was but a number
To her, he was the only one…
Most men will only cause you heartache
Make promises they know that they can’t keep
They’ll make it so you cannot sleep at night
It’s best they’re buried 6ft deep...
Extinguished their love like a cigarette
Snuffed out, discarded in the ashtray
He knew her love for him still smouldered
And called on her when he wanted to play...
Enough! I had her cook him dinner
A tasteless poison was the secret spice
The punishment fitted the crime of how he treated her
...in future let the others think twice
Most men will only cause you heartache
Make promises they know that they can’t keep
They’ll make it so you cannot sleep at night
It’s best they’re buried 6ft deep...

Your Mistake
04:58

You say that I only leave you more confused
I show the mark of someone who has been abused
Said I’m so cold - it leaves your ego bruised
I know the truth, it’s why I’m so amused
You know it ain’t my fault you thought we had a spark - it’s something I can’t fake
You know it ain’t my fault you thought I had a heart - that was your mistake
It’s your mistake
(''It's not you
It's me
It's you...)
It’s your mistake
(It's not me
It's you
It's me
Not you....'')
That you’ve no heart- I know that’s something you fake
Take off your shoes and throw them in the lake!
So cynical - everyone's not a snake
Life means risk taking, even if that means heartbreak
You know it ain’t my fault you thought we had a spark - it’s something I can’t fake
You know it ain’t my fault you thought I had a heart - that was your mistake
It’s your mistake
(''It's not you
It's me
It's you...)
It’s your mistake
(It's not me
It's you
It's me
Not you....'')
Oh you’re mistaken...
You’re mistaken...
It’s you that’s mistaken...

Of Dreaming...
05:30

Let me lie here a little while longer
I remain here a little longer
Waking leaves me bereft
Waking brings me regret
I’m delving down, descending deeper
I delve down, descend much deeper
Deepest infinity
Bringing you here to me
I don’t ever want to wake up
I don’t ever want to wake up
Let me die in sleep’s embrace
Let me die in sleep’s embrace
I was chasing the dream of another dream
That came on the tail end of another dream
Where you reached out to me...
What did you say to me?
On reaching the most important part
You faded with the shadows, I awoke with a start
Waking leaves me bereft
Waking brings me regret
I don’t ever want to wake up
I don’t ever want to wake up
Let me die in sleep’s embrace
Let me die in sleep’s embrace
The day pulls and pulls unravelling the threads
Loosening the stitches that hold my dreams together
That hold my dreams together...

First full lenght album by the band, preceded by the two excellent EP's 'Fault Line' and 'Reflections'.

Vestige & Vigil
by The Bellwether Syndicate
supported by 22 fans who also own “Nothing Lasts Forever”
In most US states, it's illegal not to get off your butt and dance to this band. The punk and deathrock roots come through, with a synth cushion. I'm a sucker for thoughtful lyrics with driving beats.

“Strangers” is packed with wonderfully menacing electro-goth—late-night horror movie music for vampire dance parties.
