lyrics
The Kill
(J.P Mercier/M. Mercier)
Shame won't keep you nice and warm
I'm stupid, It's rooted
Face lined and worn
Discarded, excluded
Things were always black or white
I'm bad luck, It's clear cut
Haven't got all night
Fill your cup and drink up
The wine… as dark as any starless night
I'm scratching at the walls
Dust raining from the ceiling
This is my curtain call
My patience wearing thin
The right hand on my heart
Not meant to stop the bleeding
All's fair in love and war
So I'm going in for the kill
I might as well have passed you by
I keep silent, no movement
No tears were cried
I couldn't, we're even
Outside of the chalk outlines
No reasons, are given
No early signs
Just broken sarcasm
Two words… as dark as any starless night
There's a time to born and a time to die
(J.P Mercier/M. Mercier)
Shame won't keep you nice and warm
I'm stupid, It's rooted
Face lined and worn
Discarded, excluded
Things were always black or white
I'm bad luck, It's clear cut
Haven't got all night
Fill your cup and drink up
The wine… as dark as any starless night
I'm scratching at the walls
Dust raining from the ceiling
This is my curtain call
My patience wearing thin
The right hand on my heart
Not meant to stop the bleeding
All's fair in love and war
So I'm going in for the kill
I might as well have passed you by
I keep silent, no movement
No tears were cried
I couldn't, we're even
Outside of the chalk outlines
No reasons, are given
No early signs
Just broken sarcasm
Two words… as dark as any starless night
There's a time to born and a time to die

It Will Come To You LP
by ACTORSsupported by 35 fans who also own “The Kill”
It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days. Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago.

The End Is the Beginning
by Mirror Of HazePerfectly gloomy Norwegian goth/post-punk, anchored by a punchy rhythm section and driven by chiming guitar lines and morose vocals.
go to album -
Perfectly wrought synthpop from Finland with big, towering synths and beautifully aching vocals.
