Prepared for a Nightmare
03:25
|
|||
|
When the lights go on
We are prepared for a nightmare
When the lights go on
Please don’t stare, we’re in a nightmare
When the lights go on
You’re just someone I used to know

Vultures
03:59
|
|||
|
Excess
It’s all we know
Innocence
Long since gone
Digress
And watch me fall
It’s permanent
Scraping the walls
It’s hypothetic yet it feels divine
We’re just pathetic until the sun won’t shine anymore
Just watch me go
Bring down the vultures
Bring them down to me
And they will set me free
Dead leaves and sculptures
That is all you’ll see
All eyes on me
Lay me down
In the arcane fields
Or let me drown
In the fiery sea
I’m cynical
I’m sick of it all
How did it come to this?

Swallow
03:19
|
|||
|
I see your shadow at the side of the road
You came from nothing but you’re coming close
You’ll be my widow when you let me go
I owe you something and now you’re coming
Swallow me, all of me
You’re in control, you can have it all
The taste of me, is it bittersweet?
Like the rose you stole, bound to fall
In every mirror
I see the past
When you see me tremble at the end of the rope
When you see me stumble at the sight of hope
Swallow me, all of me
You’re in control, you can have it all
The taste of me, is it bittersweet?
Like the rose you stole, bound to fall
In every mirror
I see the past
Reminds of the first forecast
And when I’m going down…
Will you stay?
Another day
Will you wait for me?
(Just like the rose you stole I’m bound to fall)

Drifting through the city
Swinging from side to side
I feel their hands still gripping
When I turn out the lights
I wanna go
I wanna stay
I want desire
And I’ll be dancing on your grave
I want love
I want hate
I want more than you can take
I’ll take them with me
I’ll bless them with all my spite
Do you see my hands still dripping?
From the other night
I’ll never learn until you’re out of sight
Catch and burn my greedy hand
Take me to the promised land
As far away as you can
I see the signs, make no mistake
I’ll turn into someone else
(I’ll sneak through the back door to watch this break from a safe distance
I’ll sneak through the back door to escape the maze of my existence)

Never Turning (In Time)
03:17
|
|||
|
Never turning in time
And always yearning until I reach the lucid sky
I’m never turning in time
I’m always yearning inside
You’re like a secret will
A hidden light behind my blank eyes
You’re my favorite time to kill
The last flight before my body dies
At last softly flowing
We don’t where we are or where we’re going
That was a perfect moment
But it passed me by, I’m never turning in time
You’re like a secret will
A hidden light behind my blank eyes
You’re my favorite time to kill
The last flight before my body dies

Sacred Core
04:41
|
|||
|
Oh, sacred core
You’re all I lack
Forevermore
Deep down where the crystals glow
Just lead…
Oh, heartfelt moan
I’m sifting back
Forevermore
Deep down where the orchids grow
Just lead me home
I’m still bitter for the one I’ve lost
I never figured I was double-crossed
I’ll get you back at whatever cost
And later…
When I’m recreated
I’ll be the invader
I’ll get you back because
I hear you call
I see you in cascades
I see you fade away
I hear you call for me
Back to the core
Into the moonlight
My body’s sore
So carry me all night

The Night Before
02:50
|
|||
|
I was only trying
To make you whole
But I failed
As I walked through that door
I found you lying
On the floor
The bed was made
But the rest was out of control
Did they all conspire?
To make us poor
The cards were laid
But it all changed the night before
And that child was never born

Goldmine
03:54
|
|||
|
I gave my heart away to an endless charade
I gave my heart away to perversion, to decay
I see you sweep through my defense
In the middle of the night
It’s all too real, it’s too intense
That’s why I’m leaving you behind
I caught you stealing from my goldmine
I craved for you for days
In desperation
My pretension, my escape
A temptation
All this tension made me sway
In temptation
In the eyes of a looming snake
I gave my heart away
That’s why I’m leaving you behind
I caught you stealing from my goldmine
I gave my heart away to an endless charade
I gave my heart away to perversion, to decay
All I need is my revenge
In the middle of the night
And I will heal in every sense
That’s why I’m leaving you behind

A Future Promise
04:09
|
|||
|
A future promise
A romantic notion
That’s how it started
Broken-hearted
It seemed so honest
All their devotion
She was the starlet
Of their dreams
Christel calls from the layered hills
It echoes all in vain
She’s prepared for the final scene
Christel falls from the layered hills
And nothing remains the same
Now she’s careless, now she’s free
She’s sick of giving in
She’s got no patience, she just wants to win
She’s sick of everything
She’s got no patience, she just wants to sing
Another song
It’s all gone wrong
Where will you go?
Where will you go from here?
Christel falls from the layered hills
It’s all or nothing
She’ll keep running for a star that will never glow

Endless Shimmer
03:52
|
|||
|
I’m close
I have shed my skin for you
I was told that it would bring me good news
Is it because I belong to you?
Recording dreams
As I lay my hands on the setting sun
Recording, decoding
On my own
I keep searching for sympathy
But we both know that I’ve been lacking sincerity
Is it because I belong to you?
Recording dreams
As I lay my hands on the setting sun
Recording, decoding
I know you have to leave
At sunrise
Did I go too deep?
I can’t stand the sunshine
Oh, take it slow
When you go
Away from me

Embracing the fall
by IAMTHESHADOW
supported by 8 fans who also own “ICR036 - MAYFLOWER MADAME "Prepared For A Nightmare"”
This is absolutely exactly what/how modern dark wave should sound. As an old goth who likes DM and Wolfsheim etc. I can easily recommend this band! Tune in! Burn out!

supported by 8 fans who also own “ICR036 - MAYFLOWER MADAME "Prepared For A Nightmare"”
A splendid collection of dark anthems in which the band skillfully tiptoes from melodic goth rock and romantic dark wave to synth wave and back. The Cure, The Sisters of Mercy, Bauhaus, Ikon and many more, wonderfully combined in an electro-rock outfit that is bound to thrill. Gothic Crypt approves.
