Derek DeGroot Entertaining, fun and harrowing all at once. Can't wait to learn the lyrics and bellow along. I already know this one is going to stick with me through 2023. Favorite track: The Sky Awaits.

A lone forgotten farm Devoid of any kind of hope The walls, they tell a tale Fate’s hanging on by a nail Long past debts paid up in full The time for talking is gone The sky bled purple and red A voice is calling deep below There’s secrets buried beneath the floor The ghosts all hold their hands close Their dance it just keeps going on Till the first warmth of dawn This house it seeps inside of you There’s blood underneath the cracking paint They say you can leave it all behind In dreams all I see our ghosts I can hear their voices in the walls Calling me back to that old house There’s a fear that's been buckling my bones The time for talking is gone

Some Secrets 03:40
The sun it sets on a troubled sky And the darkness awakes, awaits A solemn gift, a subtle lie They walk beside us, inside us and behind The words spoken long ago A curse weighing on my soul Some secrets are better left alone Some secrets weren’t meant to be known Who will take my hand Who will guide my way back home I guess I lost my way My soul they would not take I'm living out a Hank Williams song Whom I kidding man I aint got no home All’s I need man is just a little bit of warmth The pitch black night wraps its dark wings around you Like a festering blanket full of cigarette burns That incomprehensible darkness invades then devours you From the Abyss no one returns
3.
The sky awaits and the sinners cry The souls they wept when their hearts went dry With whiskey breath, ashtray eyes Born of lies they cannot rise Its all a bore we heard a million times Of the lovers lost in the darkest nights They bet their souls on borrowed time I reckon they felt it was worth it even though it didn’t end right They hit the corner them tires screamed The engine howled they burned out their flames For those who walk in shadows to long Reflect the darkness of their sad sad songs There’s no comfort in hellfire flame Waiting at the station for that hell bound train The way she walked sent shivers down my spine The way she talked sent fevers through my mind The way she loved, that sky above is calling
4.
There is a fire inside of me Its burning my eyes I just cant see The right way forward in front of me I find myself on the left hand path There is a way through heavens holy gate Well I aint looking hard, and I aint found it yet Trumpets and holy ghosts, blood to wine, eat the host I'm on that left hand path, I'm on that left hand path The fires burning hot consuming everything A golden hand reached down and clipped both my wings Walking on bloody feet in a broken field of glass I keep walking that left hand path Well I didn’t buy in to the blood of the lamb Aint no one but you can carry your sins Aint no wishful thinking can take back whats been said I'm on that left hand path Well sparks they start to rise ashes within Reaching for a heaven that may not exist You cant find my spirit dancing in the wind Drifting down that left hand path, drifting down that left hand path

Angel Eyes 04:03
I took a deep breath and crept towards the window I thought I saw your angel eyes Atop your head sat a burned out halo Smoldering with a tombstone smile Well I hear scratches at my front door Every morning a blue sunrise Still shadows in the darkest corners I think I saw your angel eyes A cold pale blue fathomless sorrows Rivers flow from Angels eyes I wish I could read them bones or tea leaves Reveal the devils that got you tied Well I hear scratches at my front door Every morning a blue sunrise A still shadow in the darkest corner I think I saw your angel eyes And she said go to sleep darling Shut them mournful eyes While the rain wails above us And the night sky it cries Don't dream of nothing Like two ribbons we where tied As dark wings wrap around us And swallow the last light Swallow the last light
6.
There’s only the wind left to sing my song Under the Rocky Mountain night is where I belong Listening to the timber creak and crack and moan There’s only the wind left to sing my song There’s only the stars left to guide me home Ive been forever turned around and lost As the fear starts to fade and lose hold There’s only the stars left to guide me home Im holding tight ya by a thread Im losing timeI might have lost my head I cant walk back so I fall instead To light my way a cigerette ash There’s only the wind to sing my song There’s only the stars to guide me home, home, home
7.
I dream in blue because the truth for so long was lost to me If heaven is a lie well darling don’t you cry A life is worth more than it all No fear from the grave I’m a friend to the flame When I close my eyes all I see is blue Walking side by side down that railroad track I turn away and then your gone Stumbling darkness closing in I'm fading I lie and shake and wait for the dawn I dream in blue because the truth for so long was lost to me When hearts untrue intentions confused That's why when I close my eyes all I see is blue, blue blue
8.
Endless Sky 03:11
The worm who walks by way of star light Swallowing my will to be watching from inside I haven't felt myself for a long while I haven't felt myself for a long while The stars sure look strange, reality gives way The horizon starts to fade, the horizon fades away A vision of endless sky's Eternal eyes who judge A trial of flaming lies Payments in flesh and blood I haven't been myself for a long while I haven't been myself for a long while The worm who walks by way of starlight The endless sky's sends shivers through my spine Swallowing my will to be watching from inside The endless sky's send shivers down my spine
9.
She took my palm and spat upon it And stared into me like a looking glass She saw my sorrow and fell upon it Stirring up them memories of my past Can I free this soul by letting go Will I ever bury all them haunted bones Should I take it slow live like a crow Scavenging a feeling from a corpse She flashed a smile her gaze upon me And we both broke out in a laugh I knew my fate it was no mystery And all my fears faded in a rifle blast
10.
Today I saw through the trees I'm staring out at a sea of evergreen The breeze it bites but it don’t bother me And the sunshine its always free Warming up my bones Feed this blackened hole Share your sacred sign Burnt into my mind Head up I can finally breath Eyes burned open I can finally see A river of light and gold poor through the trees Today that sun shines for me Shines for me Shines for me Keep shining on Keep shining on
11.
Lay salt round my grave Tie my bones in iron chains Place a stone in my mouth My bite is lethal My bite is lethal My kiss is cold Your light it was a curse I was blinded now I search Through fading darkness a growing light Your light is lethal Your light is lethal Your light is gone We sleep all day We shun the light The blood, the blood is the life Darkness has almost swallowed me But I'm still grasping for the light A candle in hurricane Drowning in a sea of endless night The night sky she keeps my secrets The earth I call my home The stars the only witness When they put to rest my bones The blood, the blood is the life The blood, the blood is the life We sleep all day We shun the light
12.
Tilt your head to the sky The night it falls the stars they shine This dream gave up on you and I For tonight lets live this lie The wind it sings through the trees All asleep but you and me Another page in this dead end story One more hole in this graveyard of memories It wont stop raining in my heart There aint no fire to keep me warm But in your eyes I see a spark Lets feed it and kill this dark Kill this dark Kill this dark

Ascending 04:21
Goodbye to this face, to this form, to this world I can hear them calling my name There's cobwebs on my brain My fingers start to shake This world was never my home Whats left, whats left can you leave it all behind Will you burn out like the sunshine in your eyes Theres a hell in this sorrow why do I dream why do I bother The night grows longer and the coals they start to smolder This face, this form, this world is not my home Its a concept in a dead gods dying mind Through the cracks bear witness a final lie Buried deep deep deep down inside A whisper a dying breath a final sigh A whisper a dying breath a final sigh
