My brother
Long may you burn
My sister
Long may you burn
My brother
Long may you burn
My sister
Long may you burn
Uncounted
Fires in the night
We light the
Path through the void
Old light dies down
Across the black
Old light dies down
Reach further out
Old light dies down
Beyond the edge
Despite our wish
All things move toward the end
Let the embers fade
Let the light drain away
Let the cold into me
Let sorrow cover me
The lifting of the veil
The blinking of the eye
A history goes by
How could we be the center?

The Onliest Ones

We are The Onliest Ones,
We come in the night,
We scream with our tiny voices,
We put our hands into your wounds.
We must be close to you,
We must be inside of you,
We are not yours alone, but you belong to us,
You cannot stop us,
You cannot keep us from what we need
You cannot keep us from you.
You give us your heart,
We fill it with poison and disease,
Then we make you eat it,
We watch you struggle,
We bask in your fear,
The warm red liquor,
We will have it,
All of it,
BLOOD!
We are The Onliest Ones
We want to touch you inside,
Our eyes may be blind,
But we still see you,
Our ears are large and pointed,
Our hands have sharp claws,
We gnash our teeth and tear at your wounds.
You are ended!

Shadows on the Seawall
08:12
|
|
||
|
Somewhere between now and then,
Shoreline turned to glass in nameless fire.
Below the surface lies,
All the remains of our past life.
This mirror stretches on into the dawn,
Our shadows dim.
Break through this liquid sand,
Turn the hourglass on its end again
Creatures trapped on the shore,
Under glass they wait -
Bodies incandescent,
Shining through the waves
Our shadows on the seawall,
Our ashes on the bay
Our ruins floating seaward,
Soon to evaporate
Sunfire drown
Raise our twilight
Into the night
Before new dawn

We watched the clouds split open,
The watchers descend,
Without warning, the end,
Fire, lift me up,
Into the falling sky.
Fire lift me up,
Into the falling sky
Watch me rise,
Watch it burn.

Ossuary
05:59
|
|
||
|
These eyes go blind,
This skin cracks and dries,
These bones crumble,
Lost in the dream of another.
Our names forgotten now,
Our bones are cast aside,
Shrouded in silence now,
We wait for nothing, nothing,
Dawn fades,
Day fades,
Dusk fades into night.

Lift Your Veil
06:00
|
|
||
|
She steals the stars from the sky,
She spreads her hands out wide,
She brings down mountains with a word,
She chokes the world with her light
Mother Night, lift your veil!
In the sky-light,
It is too bright,
Deprives us-sight,
Of the stars at night

Never Still the Whip
04:40
|
|
||
|
With nothing to light our way,
But the distant stars,
We bring our drums and lovers,
to the signing stone,
With nothing to light our way,
But the distant stars
waiting at the top of the world,
for the city to fade.
We so wanted the world to end,
But now it seems to every day,
We just want a little more time,
To fix the error in our ways.
Past time has gone,
The lights still glow,
We never still our whip
Backs broken in the light of the moon.

(WANING) Sacramento
(WANING) began life as a dark ambient duo consisting of Susan Hunt and Jim Willig. The band later added Benjamin Carpineta
and Ian Black. Their sound expanded, tying together strains of doom, post-punk, and shoegaze.
(WANING) is currently inactive. Members have gone on to the bands Venetian Veil and Kyntallah.

(WANING) recommends:
To paraphrase their bio, Nero Order deals in academic violence. Like a four headed snake lashing out when necessary. Be patient, epics like these need their time, and your attention.

Concentric
by Summer of Glaciers
Summer of Glaciers captures moods. Sadness, nostalgia, joy. Even adventure (Concentric is a great traveling record). Mood is of the utmost value in our music, so we recommend you listen.

Another Family Dinner at the Saturn Residence Ends In Tears
by The Sad Bastard Book Club
One of the most mature expression of angst we've heard. This is not teenage angst, but a blackly humorous album for adults.
