Resurrected from the archives, 2009's "Traitor's Motif" is dragged into the present with haunting new recordings from Gloom Darkheart, newly added guitars, and a live orchestral performance.
They don't know her at all
They can't see through the fog that
She's calling out 'em all
With a wave and a smile
She's a vision of a lost soul that stands out
In waiting for something just to hold
These words echo, bring tears to empty eyes
Sound the choral of thunder in the sky
Let the rain fall down again
Let the rain drown your sins
Let the rain fall down again
Let the rain drown your sins
