When your universe crashes down-There’s nothing left but ashes full of frowns-I don’t care if your hope has died-I’ll be there but never by your side-What is this world coming to-You always think that you are screwed-Violence to propagate, intelligence to hate-If you never quite always fail with your politicians old and fat as whales-These hypocrites won’t last for long, but only if they’re proven wrong-If you never quite always mend, with you freedoms burning at both ends-We kill ourselves if we always hinder, not with a bang but with a whimper-And I still say that I’ll help you-Am I your friend or am I lying too?-Wondering about if more people died-The time is now, but it isn’t on your side-With a whimper-Sadistic people think it’s fun-Exploiting suckers one by one-Taking from the poor, duping simple minds, bombing the innocent, so many tears we’ve spilled and spent-It seems we never quite always

I have not heard such kind of dark metal for ages! In the late 90s this style was quite popular with bands like Darkseed, Sundown, Aion, Diabolique, Beseech or Paradise Lost in their soft phase. Sure, on one side "The Everlasting" sounds old-fashioned, but on the other the songs are a welcome variation in my current playlist. And old-fashioned or not, songs like "Waiting for the Sign" or "Bred to be broken" are simply catchy, cool and they rock! H.L.
