Good Night, Ophelia
03:36
|
|||
|
I've got dreams for sale / so do you want to buy?
I'm not deceitful / and I would never lie
you see my crooked smile / laughing all the while
you see me laughing while / I skin the crocodile
have I lost my way? I don't believe in fairytales
have I lost my way? I don't believe in fate
I just want the magic to be real
oh, Ophelia is drowning
I don't believe in anything
good night, good night
shattered piece of dream for sale / stuck the other in my eye
a morbid march in my veil / the moon's bright and so am I
have I lost my way? I don't believe in fairytales
have I lost my way? I don't believe in fate
I just want the magic to be real
oh, Ophelia is drowning
I don't believe in anything
I was always the girl with the faraway eyes
rue for you / some for me
I was never the girl with the prettiest lies
good for you / but for me
I'll take drowning
oh, Ophelia is drowning
I don't believe in anything
I was always the girl with the faraway eyes
rue for you / some for me
I was never the girl with the prettiest lies
good for you / but for me
I'll say
good night
good night

The Bite
03:31
|

|
lying, waiting, always
hiding, craving my red haze
so step into its skin
be careful
it's heady and wonderful
and out come the wolves
out come the wolves
endless preying, always
with teeth for days
so give it what it needs
be careful
it's deadly and wonderful
and out come the wolves
out come the wolves
they're hungry, persistent, they always win
(they're coming! they're coming!)
they're creeping out and I don't know if they'll go back in
(they're coming! they're coming!)
they are the reason I always will give in
(they're coming! they're coming!)
intoxicating they're always creating ways to sate the beast within
(they're coming! they're coming!)

Almost There
05:19
|

|
is that a white cat makin my knees wet?
I didn't mean to go out at night
is it my right or left this constant itch?
I didn't mean to chase the light
oh, oh I'm goin down with my muddy boots
oh, swallowed by the crushin, rattlin bayou
crawlin on hands and knees / I'm almost there
trippin on stones and reeds / I'll follow you anywhere
my moon song / guide me home / chillin bayou beyond compare
realizin I'm givin in / I'm almost there
can't be a figment of my imagination
I know I'm followin my black swan
shells for teeth and weeds for tongue
together we can dance the waltz
oh, oh faeries weighin my heavy boots
oh, cauchemar in bonafide bayou
crawlin on hands and knees / I'm almost there
trippin on stones and reeds / I'll follow you anywhere
my moon song / guide me home / chillin bayou beyond compare
realizin I'm givin in / I'm almost there
are you a loved one a long-lost demon
dancin over the freezin mud?
are you my moon song guiding me home
or floatin faery orbs of gold?
oh, oh I'm goin down with my muddy boots
oh, swallowed
crawlin on hands and knees / I'm almost there
trippin on stones and reeds / I'll follow you anywhere
my moon song / guide me home / chillin bayou beyond compare
realizin I'm giving in / I'm almost there
I'm almost there
I'll follow you anywhere
my moon song / guide me home / guide me home
almost there
almost there
I'm almost there

The River
04:00
|
|||
|
black eyes dance on the water
my water, my eyes, my grin
search the depths seeking something new
winding blue, my see-through skin
prying eyes give you away
you don't see my reflection
we can be free
we can have the deep
from mossy stones up to the shallows
rising I sing in the trees
giving up is so enticing
wild hair, tangled and green
breathe it in, become the current
in my arms I'll pull you down with me
we can be free
even if we're lie-lying
we can have our eternity
we can have the deep
we'll be so free flowing perfect dreams
your hand shaking, mine inviting
we'll be so free down in the deep
your lips gasping for one last breath, my lips curling and consuming
we'll spend eternity together on the bottom of the river
your eyes clouded by the current, my eyes burning and alight
we're so close, just keep reaching
promise me you will not leave me
promise me you'll stay forever
we'll spend eternity together on the bottom of the river
if you'll let me
drag you
down

Laurel Crown
02:54
|
|||
|
sweet enchantment in your eyes
we can't vent with prying eyes
I hate to admit, no rule over this, I hate to admit
a blade to the rib, I hate to admit, and it won't be quick
I'll tear a hole in the earth, "nothin lasts" she said
I'll have my turn, play my part, no matter what the cost
flowers entwined with laurel, I'll put a crown on your head
I'll keep you safe in my heart, I'll put you in a box
I've seen us in the mirror for so long
can't you hear my siren song?
I hate to admit, no rule over this, I hate to admit
a blade to the rib, I hate to admit, and it won't be quick
I'll tear a hole in the earth, "nothin lasts" she said
I'll have my turn, play my part, no matter what the cost
flowers entwined with laurel, I'll put a crown on your head
I'll keep you safe in my heart, I'll put you in a box
these words ring hollow in my ears: "I love you so much"
if you won't follow then I fear I'll have one last rush
I'll put you in a box, I'll put you in a box, I'll put you in a box to keep
no matter the cost, I'll destroy the locks, I'll put you in a box
I'll put you in a box

Persephone's Song
04:15
|
|||
|
through the gates, the wretched, fateful way
to find me you must follow the shades
through the flames and the burning lake
to make me impressed don't be afraid
past haunted forts and the harpies' roars
I am your sweet oblivion
past trial once more shakes you to your core
I am your sin, your redemption
did you come to save me from my trance? did you follow the ants?
did you think that I was here by chance, or did you want to ask me to dance?
you can find me better than before, at my core,
reigning evermore
you can find me through that door, lips curled
you can find me in the underworld, on the devil's dance floor
with hair on fire I do inspire
I am your shadow anthem
with crooked spires and fun'ral pyres
I am, I've been, your requiem
will you offer me another glance? will you take a chance?
or will you critique me for my stance? or will you ask me to dance?
you can find me better than before, at my core,
when the seasons morph
you can find me through that door, lips curled
you can find me in the underworld, on the devil's dance floor
did you think that I was here by chance, or did you want to ask me to dance?
you can find me better than before, at my core,
reigning evermore
you can find me tearing open sores, bleeding more,
for whom I adore
you can find me better than before, at my core,
when the seasons morph
you can find me at your door, lips curled
you can find me in the underworld, on the devil's dance floor

Dirt Gypsy
04:34
|
|||
|
surrounded by slayers, the flames burn on
bound for good measure, stride la vampa!
we bring justice as clear as the night
as clear as smoke-filled eyes
violins turn violent
makes us tremble, quiver and flinch from the eyes of The Witch
proud to be standing at the end of my story
my past echoing "I am The Dirt Gypsy"
oh! never meant to hurt you, oh!
surrounded by slayers, the flames burn on
bound for good measure, stride la vampa!
we bring conviction as sure as the light
as sure as hate-filled eyes
violence of sirens
makes us monsters in the midst from the eyes of The Witch
proud to be standing at the end of my story
my past echoing "I am The Dirt Gypsy"
surrounded by slayers, the flames burn on
bound for good measure, stride la vampa!
oh, oh! never meant to hurt you
oh! never meant to hurt you, oh!
surrounded by slayers, the flames burn on
bound for good measure, stride la vampa!

Pegasus
03:24
|
|||
|
I won't be your Pegasus
take these ties from off my wings
when the screams turn to dust
no surprise, how can you shame me?
I want the fury to be bled
take these ties from off my wings
not your hand, I want your head
what surprise? how can you blame me?
if the sea is dangerous, but that's where you are, then give me the sea
if the sea is dangerous, but wants my heart, give me to the sea
I won't be your Pegasus
I won't let you feed the snakes
to no surprise, how can you please me?
if the sea is dangerous, but that's where you are, then give me the sea
if you think you're brave enough and can close my mouth, then come show me
if the sea is dangerous and wants my head, then give me the sea
if you think you've had enough, then let it be, give the sea to me

Leanon

save me from this mediocrity so I can save my breath
save me and I'll love you to death
I want to dare mighty things
Leanon sídhe feeds
Leanon she kills me
from idle hands to a mind of their own, I think I've no mind of my own
limerick-smeared lipstick, oh!
I think I dare things awful
"never enough" we plead
but she can't be pleased
Leanon sídhe feeds
Leanon she kills me
save me from her apathy, and I'll let go my breath
I see them flying from the west to the east
my welcome guests
Leanon sídhe feeds
Banshee hear my grief
Leanon sídhe deeds
Banshee bring relief

With influences like Sabbath, Kyuss, Sleep and Windhand, I expected a generic but solid album. Ah, but they didn’t tell us what parts of those bands they meant. Gravity Well under-promised and seriously over-delivered with an album of space-aged Doom that’s closer in spirit to Acid King than any band I’ve heard. AOTY contender without a doubt.

The latest from indie rock outfit Activity has a charmingly sinister feel, blending in stark rhythms and washes of dark ambient.
