Its been a long cold winter
and I've been waiting to thaw this heart of yours my love
warm yourself by the fire of my heart
but don't stay too long,
dont get too close
you might be burned.
Its a long, cold, winter, for both of us, my love
and you've been cold to me for years and years and years
we've been frozen here in place, side by side
for far too long
its been a long cold winter
and ive been waiting for someone, just like you
to place your hand in mine and follow me through hell,
I cant promise you anything beyond my love,
its been far too cold for far too long,
what i wouldn't give, to fell your love again
it's been cold, far too long.
memories of you have begun to fade, my love
we've been frozen here in place, side by side
for far too long
what i wouldn't give, to fell your love again
but we've been frozen here in place, side by side
for far too long
First full lenght album by the band, preceded by the two excellent EP's 'Fault Line' and 'Reflections'. In line with their now characteristic sound and influences, October Burns Black deliver a great collection of tracks whose spell is impossible to resist.
Classy and classic gothic rock at it's best. Dionysos Nyktelios
Cinematic-scale goth from Reflection Black with catchy melodies, dreamy synths, punchy rhythms, and a sense of timelessness. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 21, 2023
A killer re-release of a rare solo post-punk LP from 1988 by the frontman of Taste of Decay and Garden of Pleasures. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 17, 2022
I like the subtle way in which the tracks connect to the album cover, making this resting maiden the center point — calm in the midst of storm. (Just my interpretation maybe but the cover gives extra depth to the music... a softer undertone). The image reminds me of ‘Annunciation’ by Dante G. Rossetti used in ‘Adrenaline’ music video.
‘Smoke and Mirrors’ puts me at peace with big disappointments — a bittersweet musical potion.
