Skeleton Dance
03:43

|
We can fly in shadows
To a distant light
Hidden deep behind the tree line
Somewhere out of sight
With a fire that burns around us
Awakening the night
And the light of stars will guide us
Wandering through time
We can dance with the skeletons in the night
We can dance until everything is alright
And they can't tell us what to do or what to say
And we can dance all night and let the devil take us away
If you're lost in a shattered memory
Of a distant life or time
You can cross the realm of shadows
And head into the light
In the flames of the fire around you
Spirits dance and writhe
And the voice of the darkness calling
Echoes through the night
We can dance with the skeletons in the night
We can dance until everything is alright
And they can't tell us what to do or what to say
And we can dance all night and let the devil take us away
In a small forest clearing under the midnight sky
gathered around a fire a group of lost souls share stories of the trials
of their lives
In hopes of invoking some strength from the spirit world
in the fight against their demons they dance and cry into
the night. They dance into the night
We can dance with the skeletons in the night
We can dance until everything is alright
And they can't tell us what to do or what to say
And we can dance all night and let the devil take us away

Upstairs in the Attic
04:23

In the dark there hides a mystery
I cannot see
There's something crawling up the side of me
And creeping up the stairs is agony
As I can feel a pair of eyes are staring back at me
It's too late to hide the fear inside
The shadows there are calling me
To come upstairs into the attic
The place where I will die
There's a voice I hear inside of me
It's says "I could, but I don't think
I don't think I should"
It says that "I could take a chance and see"
It summons me
With visions of my fantasies
It's too late to hide the fear inside
The shadows there are calling me
To come upstairs into the attic
It does no good to cry
And now you die
The shadows there are calling me
To come upstairs into the attic
Up there in the dark
Now there's a jaded heart
A solemn start
And a thousand ways to fall
Nevermind what I can't resolve
I'll figure it out
And in the dark I'm torn apart
My heart is violence and greed
And now the shadows are
Surrounding me
It's too late to hide the fear inside
The shadows there are calling me
To come upstairs into the attic
It does no good to cry
And now you die
The shadows there are calling me
To come upstairs

The Girl & The Ghost
04:34

Bereft with pain and sorrow
No tomorrow, no today
As you walk hand-in-hand
With yourself in a different way
A brazen true conviction
That science-fiction has figured out
By walking through the Mirror Of Doubt
Into the realm of shadow
You're drifting far away now
into shadows and into dust
As you let go of all the things you couldn't trust
You're crying as you float away
On an river made of tears
Into the nothing and the nowhere
of your fears
On the sea of shadow
And the darkness will come to you

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.
