lyrics

I'm falling - keep on falling
As you rise above - you and I
Believing - keep on dreaming
For today

I hear you - I can feel you
Following the storm in to the night
I try to - try to keep you
Warm and safe inside

See the walls are coming down, down, down
As the nation rises ready for the fight
And the fires burning down, down, down
As we walk upon the water to the light

I'm falling - keep on falling
As the winter covers all the scars
We need to - need to stop and pray

For healing - pray for healing
Hold on to your faith and don't let go
This world is getting in the way
It's getting in the way

See the walls are coming down, down, down
As the nation rises ready for the fight
And the fires burning down, down, down
As we walk upon the water to the light

Our hope for tomorrow calls tomorrow home
Oh we stand alone

One more prayer for the broken
One more prayer for the found

See the walls are coming down, down, down
As the nation rises ready for the fight
And the fires burning down, down, down
As we walk upon the water to the light

Pinnacle Of The Draco
by Angels of Liberty

supported by 20 fans who also own “Upon The Water (XV)”

There are so many gothic rock/gothic synth bands that sound similar... not Angels of Liberty... Voe has something so dark and beautiful and UNIQUE in his voice. Their lyrics brush on my ears like a brush made of black silk and touch my heart in the deepest of darkest shadows that it's the only light shining. I Fucking HATE that Voe is no longer in this realm. This group will ALWAYS be one of my favorites to listen to. Rest in love Voe🖤 DarkGifts

I've enjoyed The Wake since the 90s. The new album feels like a trip to right where they left off! Goth Rock at it's best! I can't wait to see where they go from here!! aklosowski22

Sonsombre is the most exciting thing to happen to goth music in a decade. You can tell because Brandon has the widest brimmed hat. Sounds and Shadows preciousken

Strangers
by Grey Gallows

“Strangers” is packed with wonderfully menacing electro-goth—late-night horror movie music for vampire dance parties. Bandcamp New & Notable May 8, 2023

The End Is the Beginning
by Mirror Of Haze

Perfectly gloomy Norwegian goth/post-punk, anchored by a punchy rhythm section and driven by chiming guitar lines and morose vocals. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 16, 2021
