lyrics
Why didn’t you tell us the sky is your lover?
Why didn’t you tell us the sky is your lover?
Why?
Why didn’t you show us life without mirrors?
Why didn’t you show us how to sleep at nights?
Well I am alone and you are alone, oh why don’t you see me?
Well I am afraid and you are afraid, oh why don’t you scream?
Why?
Pretending that I am dying from bitterness
I walked in the dark dying from bitterness
If I am alive and you are alive why are we bleeding?
We want it all but we are not willing to change
Why?
We must protect ourselves from excessive clarity
This is where life loses the most beautiful ideals
I want to rest, oh I want peace then why am I still burning?
I want to feel, I want to love but why do I still moan?
They try to convince us every effort is useless
But the rain starts with a single drop
If I am drop and you are a drop then we become a river
And it’s about time we fucking drown them all
Are you afraid? Don’t be afraid! Don’t be afraid of losing!
We are going to lose for sure! But it’s ok, yes it’s ok, cause we are not alone!
Why didn’t you tell us the sky is your lover?
Why?
Why didn’t you show us life without mirrors?
Why didn’t you show us how to sleep at nights?
Well I am alone and you are alone, oh why don’t you see me?
Well I am afraid and you are afraid, oh why don’t you scream?
Why?
Pretending that I am dying from bitterness
I walked in the dark dying from bitterness
If I am alive and you are alive why are we bleeding?
We want it all but we are not willing to change
Why?
We must protect ourselves from excessive clarity
This is where life loses the most beautiful ideals
I want to rest, oh I want peace then why am I still burning?
I want to feel, I want to love but why do I still moan?
They try to convince us every effort is useless
But the rain starts with a single drop
If I am drop and you are a drop then we become a river
And it’s about time we fucking drown them all
Are you afraid? Don’t be afraid! Don’t be afraid of losing!
We are going to lose for sure! But it’s ok, yes it’s ok, cause we are not alone!

about

A collective led by K. and comprised of greek talented musicians, 2L8 is a bold project that has come to be categorized by their radical stylistic shifts between albums, while retaining a consistent interest in rhythm and distinct sonic accents and textures.

Love the dark soundscapes and myriad musical influences. Genre-bending and emotionally charged, this is one of my favourite albums. Laure's vocals are otherworldly 🖤

Walk Beyond the Dark
by Abigail Williamssupported by 4 fans who also own “Monotone Ruins”
Abigail Williams has had a weird career with hiatuses and lineup changes, but they have finally perfected their sound on Walk Beyond the Dark. This album has such a refreshing and natural feeling that makes it one of the top atmospheric black metal albums of recent years.
