Soul Despair - Return To Gold

Soul Despair 2023-06-23 | Lyrics:

Burn away the ghost you left with me
I once was gold before we melted in this dream
We melted in this dream

You faded into another forgotten whisper
Drifting shade
Growing into another past memory
I’d rather change

Burn away the ghost you left with me
I once was gold before we melted in this dream
Whispering, your ghost still haunting me
Return to gold before I’m trapped inside this dream

Drown under dust
You’ll find no light for your hands to cling to
Tear me apart
You’ll find no life here could learn to love you

Casting your soul into stone
Reduce to dust everything we were meant to be
Casting your soul into stone
Reduce to dust
Everything that you meant to me

Gentle breeze come illuminate
Memories that still breathe your name
Shimmering wings begin decay
Moments left will never heal the pain

Casting your soul into stone
Reduce to dust everything we were meant to be
Casting your soul into stone
Reduce to dust
Everything that you meant to me

Soul Despair - Crimson

Soul Despair 2023-04-14 | Lyrics:

Dwelling underneath the surface
I lost you in this space
Now hollow
Calling to the pain

Dwelling underneath the surface
I lost you in this space
Now hollow
Calling to

The cold withers me away
And the dreams you stole
When you'd fade to grey

Carry on from dusk
Burning the memories of us
You took a piece of me
Finding the paradise you seek

Shifting bliss to isolation
I can see it in your veins
You grow cold
Answering the pain
Swallowing the desolation
I can see it on your face
You grow cold
Satisfy the pain

You drift along the surface
Cease rebirth through flame
Cast into the current
Left to fade away

You drift along the surface
Cease rebirth through flame
Cast into the current
Left to fade away

Did you bask inside the sea of what you meant to me?
Why did you stay in decay of what was meant to be?

In decay of what was meant to be
Eternally, you ruined me
You ruined me

Fragmented, I sprawl across the ground
Seeking the memories, you scattered all around

Carry on from dusk
Burning the memories of us
You took a piece of me
Finding the paradise you seek

You drowned inside the sea of what you meant to me
You chose to stay in decay of what was meant to be

Soul Despair - An Endless Grave (Full EP Stream)

Soul Despair 2022-11-04 | Lyrics:

Your flame so carelessly swept away
Agonizing silence
Entrenched in suffering
Tormented by your absence
Nothing left but your memory

Bring me to the surface
These fading lights won't guide you home
Pull me from the current
I taste your fear of the undertow

This life, the aftermath above us
Will it return the peace that it stole from me?
Or is there no way to cure this?

Trapped soul, the empty home you're lost in
Will you return to us and cease to sleep?
Or is this grave truly endless?

Fading into uncertainty
Lost between earth and oblivion

Perpetual impending fate
Grief takes hold as you disintegrate

An endless grave
Your form remains but your soul was torn away
An endless grave
Hopelessly we watch as you decay

This life, the aftermath above us
Will it return the peace that it stole from me?
Or is there no way to cure this?

Trapped soul, the empty home you're lost in
Will you return to us and cease to sleep?
Or is this grave truly endless?

Tormented by your absence
Nothing left but your memory

Soul Despair - Fairy Dust (Full EP Stream)

Soul Despair 2022-11-04 | Lyrics:

Falling slowly to the ground
Feeling lost and never found
Where have I been?
Is this the end?

The pressure builds
The ice begins to crack
I’m falling through
And never coming back
Disconnected again
Is this the end?

Drifting gently to the edge
Frozen soul, so alone
Growing numb to all I love
Frozen soul, so alone

Strip the warmth within my heart
Change the path and just restart
Feel your touch against my skin
Pull me back, astray again

Succumb to the frozen feeling
Just a shade praying for the end

Falling slowly to the ground
Feeling lost and never found
Where have I been?
Is this the end?

The pressure built
The ice gave way to cracks
I’ve fallen through
I’m never coming back
Disconnected again
This is the end

Soul Despair - Interstellar Dreams (Full EP Stream)

Soul Despair 2022-11-04 | Lyrics:

It’s haunting me
The echo of your voice
A scarring whisper to carry the cold clinging to my bones

I drift away into the ashes of an icy grey
Bury the pain in the depths of interstellar dreams

Flickering in my heart
Solace is all I seek
I lost my reflection in the dark
The void takes hold of me

Been in this place for far too long
There’s no hope in holding on
So will you guide me to restart
Before I fall apart?

The sun shifts through me as I lay my weary head to sleep
Bury the pain in the depths of interstellar dreams

As all light begins to fade
My northern star grows dim and burns away
Burn away

Flickering in my heart
Solace is all I seek
I lost my reflection in the dark
The void takes hold of me

Been in this place for far too long
There’s no hope in holding on
So will you guide me to restart
Before I fall apart?

As all light begins to fade
My northern star grows dim and burns away

Soul Despair 2022-11-04 | Lyrics:

Consumed by a darkness that gradually paled my blood
Trapped inside this hellscape created by the Great Ones
Hunted by the men who created this nightmare I seek to escape
Haunted by the ones who came before me consumed by their fate

I reanimate, continuing their destiny
Searching endlessly until I have slaughtered my prey

My strength is now reformed
The blood echoes in my ears
Leading me to the edge of the nightmare
As I slay all my fears

Consumed by a darkness that gradually paled my blood
Trapped inside this hellscape created by the Great Ones

Will the darkness ever break?
Am I trapped in their nightmare perpetually doomed to this fate?

Imprisoned by the ones who came before me
Devoured by hate

My strength is now reformed
The blood echoes in my ears
Leading me to the edge of the nightmare
As I slay all my fears

Consumed by a darkness that gradually paled my blood
Trapped inside this hellscape created by the Great Ones
(The Great One awaits)

Moon Presence, feel the bite of my blade
I am finally liberated
The Nightmare Slain

Soul Despair - Edge Of The Precipice (Full EP Stream)

Soul Despair 2022-11-04 | “Edge of The Precipice”

Oblivion rests in my mind
Swallowed by nothing
It eats me alive
Trapped within this infinite divide
Taking refuge in a waning light

My soul now hollow from the flames you extinguished
My solace turned suffering
Will it ever relinquish?

Now I find myself falling from the edge of the sun
Streaking past a fading light
To a sudden end

Where do I go now?
Beyond the bounds of light: unknown

Oblivion consumed my mind
Crushing my will
It eats me alive
Dying in this infinite divide
There is no refuge in this waning light

Robbed of the starlit night sky
This dark-bloom feeds my suffering
Robbed of the starlit night sky
Consigned to the endlessness

Now I find myself falling from the edge of the sun
Streaking past a fading light
To a sudden end

The void’s call consumes me
Beckoning to the precipice
The void’s call consumes me
I succumb to its nothingness

Soul Despair - Death Valley (Full EP Stream)

Soul Despair 2022-11-04 | Lyrics:

Devoted to the breath of death
Surrounding smoke, this valley so desolate
It contorts our soul

As I descend falling deeper in the void
Form falls away, I see the truth unravel
The emptiness, all I had ever known
The infinite now permeates my soul

Severing this hell in two
Wondering where was the chance to bloom?

Pale sunlight pierces through this torment
Hollow night reflects abhorrence
Fireside to make amends
Drifting shine bury the pain again

All this loss must have a home
Finding paths out of my bones
My soul longs for eternal rest

Devoted to shaking hands with death
Surrounding smoke, this valley so desolate
Severing this hell in two
Obliterate any chance to bloom

Pale sunlight pierces through this torment
Hollow night reflects abhorrence
Fireside to make amends
Drifting shine bury the pain again

The shadow of myself
Relinquish from this hell
