1.	Spiders 04:10	lyrics	buy track
Spiders in your mind, Where there’s flesh there’s flies Spiders tell you lies, Weakness leads them all inside Swarming in your mind, Feed the fire inside Drowning in the dark, Pounding of your heart Like a murder of ravens in your soul Like you’re love sick, broken, dying slow Choking on dreams that you can’t swallow Remember your name for tomorrow Spiders break your heart, Tear your world apart Spiders pull your strings, Thoughts electric, fever dream Raging in your ego, Selfish, you won’t let go Cut you like a knife, Lift your head & fight for life Like a murder of ravens in your soul Like you’re love sick, broken, dying slow Choking on dreams that you can’t swallow Remember your name for tomorrow Curve of night, Avoid the light A fever dream, An angels wing The love complete, The hearts deceit Your piece of mind, Disrupting time, And you’re gone... Spiders black your sight, Lockless prison, churn inside Spiders waste your life, Open up your eyes Standing in the rain, Reflecting on the pain The secrets and the shame, Wishing you could fade away Like a murder of ravens in your soul Like you’re love sick, broken, dying slow Choking on dreams that you can’t swallow Remember your name for tomorrow
2.	Casualty 04:16	lyrics	buy track
We’re not long now for this world We’re not meant to brave the cold No one here gets out alive We are all just here to die Broken down, you and me, suffering like casualties Can’t you see, you and me, existential misery Termination, devastation, slowing down, slowing down Transformation, incarnation, changing form, changing form We’re not made to last the night We’re not meant to win the fight No one knows what’s in the dark We’re just running out the clock Broken down, you and me, fading like a casualty Don’t you see, you and me, fatal like a tragedy Desolation, isolation, born alone, die alone Across the wasteland, in the quicksand Slowing down, slowing down Broken down, you and me, suffering like casualties Can’t you see, you and me, existential misery We’re not long now for this world We’re not meant to brave the cold No one here gets out alive We are all just here to die Broken down, you and me, fading like a casualty Don’t you see, you and me, fatal like a tragedy Termination, devastation, slowing down, slowing down Transformation, incarnation, changing form, changing form
3.	Orphans of the Storm 04:25	lyrics	buy track
A slice of moonlight, expose the night The faces pass me left and right Dreamt I saw you shining bright Many shadows black my sight I write your name across my dreams Your voice the only one it seems You don’t ever let me down You pull me up from the underground We are both orphans of the storm Alone, together we brave the cold & our greek chorus says forever, and ever Use a candle to light the way I search for you all night and day The underground is vast and gray Wish that you were here with me Between the dreams and days I search The distance in your eye, unnerves But when I’m stranded in the road You come to me, you bring me home We’re both orphans of the storm Alone, together we brave the cold & our greek chorus says forever, and ever You bring me home Yes we’ve had our demons yeah Yes you know we’ve had our share But I will not leave you in the dark And I know you won’t leave me there You save me from the razor’s edge You keep me from the highest ledge You find me on the darkest night You pull me from the fire fight I won’t leave you in the dark Don’t leave me in the dark You won’t leave me in the dark, you save me from myself...
4.	Ghosts in the Graveyard 03:17	lyrics	buy track
Ghosts in the graveyard, dancing all night Chasing the survivors, giving them a fright Bones in the graveyard shaking all night Digging up the heretics, gonna pick a fight (tonight) Ghouls in the cemetery, everybody run Banging on the church doors, lookin for some fun Creepers at the gates and they’re climbing up the fence Comin for the neighborhood, the fog is rollin in (again) Nightmare taking over reason, wind is blowin loud Monsters lurking in the dark again, no time to get out Devil at the front door, god is on the run Crazy with a pitch fork, gunning for your blood Zombie digging through the earth, they want to taste your mind You can’t wake up, it’s not a dream, the walls are breaking down (tonight) Nightmare taking over reason, wind is blowin loud Monsters lurking in the dark again, no time to get out Nightmare taking over reason, wind is blowin loud Monsters lurking in the dark again, no time to get out
5.	the Plague of the Masquerade 04:25	lyrics	buy track
Beyond the pale, the wounded healers Beyond the door, into the night Beyond this life, temperature rising Behind the mask, the cursed sight We carve our name in blood, We drown in acid rain We cannot fight the gods, We break our world in trade It’s the end of time, it’s apocalyptic Fire cleansing, horizon burns The end of the line, it’s annihilation We are the plague of the masquerade Behind the veil, immortal laughter Below the floor, the fire burns Between the lines, the truth is lying Before you ask, there is no more We crack the whip upon our backs Dying since the day we’re born We cannot fight the past The future takes the toll It’s the end of time, it’s apocalyptic Fire cleansing, horizon burns The end of the line, it’s annihilation We are the plague of the masquerade And the light fade from the fire, And the heat fades from desire And the last thing that you realize We are the plague of the masquerade We are the plague of the masquerade Beyond the pale, the wounded healers Beyond the door, into the night Beyond this life, temperature rising Behind the mask, the cursed sight We carve our name in blood, We drown in acid rain We cannot fight the gods, We break our world in trade It’s the end of time, it’s apocalyptic Fire cleansing, horizon burns The end of the line, it’s annihilation We are the plague of the masquerade And the light fade from the fire And the heat fades from desire And the last thing that you realize We are the plague of the masquerade We are the plague of the masquerade We are the plague of the masquerade We are the plague

Vestige & Vigil
by The Bellwether Syndicate

supported by 10 fans who also own “Orphans of the Storm”

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. zionengine

Such a good album. In a world of soundalikes and acts with little to say, Pilgrims of Yearning absolutely stand out. Honest and real and fearless. james__perry
