Shadow Port

Taken from "Standard Gargoyle Decisions" 2007

"IT'S GONE TO HELL
YOU KNOW THAT IT HAS
YOU RUN TO TELL
BUT IT'S ALL GONE

CAN TELL A LOT
BY OVER AND OUT
BEWARE WHAT YOU PRAY
WHEN IT'S ALL GONE ON
BEYOND NATURE'S LIGHT

SEE - I REMEMBER ME
LOVE - I REMEMBER HER
THEY - I REMEMBER THESE
TRY AND REMEMBER HER
PLEASE - I COULD NAIL THE ROAD
FOR MILES AND WE PULL AWAY

WHEN I'M GONE I'LL REMEMBER HER
OH GOD, WE COULD BRING THEM DOWN
WE FOUND THEM UNINTENTIONALLY

COSTLY AS WE EVER MADE IT
GREATER PATIENCE BURNING NOW
LOST IN DEPTH
THEY DIE FOR TRAITORS
INSTANT PEOPLE ALWAYS GONE

SURROUND ME
OH HOLD ME
DON'T LEAVE ME ALONE
VARIOUS BREAKDOWNS MIGHT TAKE ME ALL NIGHT

SLASHING LIKE RAZOR
DESIGN US LIKE YOU
CHOSEN
ESCAPING OF THE NIGHT
OUT ALL OVER

SHE HAS WINGS
ARE YOU WATCHING HER..."

A brooding classic from "Standard Gargoyle Decisions" with a fantastic chorus. Bob voice is just perfect on this song. Can a song be dark and uplifting at the same time? Definitely a highlight from the often under rated SDG.
