And just when I thought this situation's over I was pulled back to these bygone days of absurd enticement A being without an inclination just plying on fright and desire A momentary fervor Of a soul draining misdirection My faulty demeanour my passion was built on sand I was reinforced on the hurting of others I was too dismayed to be on an unbent path I was too dismayed to be on an unbent path A being without an inclination Just manage these counterfeit highs Yet ever there was the moral high ground where I never thought I could return My heart was weary my heart was numb I drenched this hurting intoxicated This terrified state left me broken Left me in a lasting set of demolition A being without an inclination Just manage these counterfeit highs Yet ever there was the moral high ground where I never thought I could return An invariant lingering of scare Like an unwished-for visitant Like a warrant to my ruination Like a self-inflicted plague When I sought aid they meant me to intoxicate to rid the pain Just like I needed kicks to rid the pain This time in artifice A being without an inclination Just manage these counterfeit highs Yet always there was the moral high ground when I finally thought I could return

A thought of severance days Is a fleet vertigo Homeless and heavy Bleak frost heralds The sign of winter Seize the shadows of sundials Frost is set upon the meadows When this fidelity ends Like a comet I will collapse into earth If we'll fall tonight Away from the curtain of the stars Frightened in all the ways I act Lost in all the guilt I caused Frightened what I see within Fatal ways Solitude fills these days And will remain For a long timelessness While the cold is lurking Frightened to feeble thoughts avail Indolent emotions bear no lead Frightened absence Hold your tightened grip Seize the shadows of sundials Frost is set upon the meadows When this fidelity ends Like a comet I will collapse into earth If we'll fall tonight Away from the curtain of the stars Way with a fallen heart Remember my words Wintertime as the fallen stars Dreaming about days lost Way with a fallen heart Remember my words Wintertime as the fallen stars Dreaming about days lost Solitude fills these days And will remain For a long timelessness While the cold is lurking So bland in the shadows where Lost in what I see within A thousand fatal shattered thrones And when the pillars cracked It was a broken pact Look at the other ones They fear it too When this fidelity ends Like a comet I will collapse into earth If we'll fall tonight Away from the curtain of the stars

about

This 2-track single is the last to feature our singer Patrick, who left the band a while ago. The underlying melancholy shows through the rawness here. It's a farewell notice for us that wraps up this chapter of When At Night.
