Renascentia 01:18
(Instrumental)

The coldest nights will bring in darker days I'm slowly marching to an early grave Nowhere to hide from all these silent screams It's hard to wake up when you're not asleep Now shield your eyes And block your ears From all the sights and sounds that Brought me face to face with fear The driest eyes are always soaked in tears Each sunrise let's you see the end so clear Now thinking back to when I learned to see I wish to God that they had blinded me Now shield your eyes And block your ears They're speaking words that You don't wanna hear But you don't hide Now you wanna see All the horrors of Eternal, godless misery So here we are In this brand new world of fear Where dreams turn into nightmares And swallow up the years The years we lived in comfort And knew someone could hear The things we spoke in silence The things we never feared But no one was listening No one ever does Because I've been seeking solace In a god that never was

I never thought I'd see another yesterday Another streetlight fades away I always felt I'd dreamt all my memories But now I know they're here to stay Broken down on the street where we used to play Lost again, but I'll find my way I can still hear all the things we used to say Under the static of the fray If we could find a way Or find a place to stay If we could only see A brand new shade of grey Another yesterday Look around, hear the sounds echo endlessly Through the night, but I still believe That after all these years of fleeting fantasies I'm finally finding room to breathe If we could find a way Or find a place to stay If we could only see A brand new shade of grey Another yesterday Another yesterday Another yesterday Another yesterday Another yesterday

Someone's dead in Dreamland Someone's dying here in my warm bed Someone died tonight in Dreamland I'll paint the walls inside my mind blood red And if they catch me before I awake I'll never live to see tomorrow I can't afford to make the same mistake Of bringing one more night of sorrow But if it weren't for me Having fallen asleep You never would have been alive at all So now your soul belongs to me Someone's dead in Dreamland Someone's writhing on the floor in pain Someone's crying out in Dreamland The sounds of screams are driving me insane And if they catch me before I awake I'll never live to see tomorrow I can't afford to make the same mistake Of bringing one more night of sorrow But if it weren't for me Having fallen asleep You never would have been alive at all So now your soul belongs to me Someone's dead in Dreamland

While they search for the infection Behind every closet door I'm just begging for protection As I cry here on the floor I can feel it spreading faster Than it ever had before And my body has been rejecting Every antidote or cure So let's stave off the infection 'Cus I'm not so sure I'll make it on my own But I've seen my own reflection In the faces of the shadows in my home Now they're saying that it's terminal But I won't accept my fate 'Cus we found a place to hide tonight And I know Well I know it's not too late for us to Stave off the infection 'Cus I'm not so sure I'll make it on my own But I've seen my own reflection In the faces of the shadows in my home

Pet Sematary 03:21
Under the arc of a weather stain boards, Ancient goblins, and warlords, Come out of the ground, not making a sound, The smell of death is all around, And the night when the cold wind blows, No one cares, nobody knows. I don't want to be buried in a Pet Sematary, I don't want to live my life again, I don't want to be buried in a Pet Sematary, I don't want to live my life again. Follow Victor to the sacred place, This ain't a dream, I can't escape, Molars and fangs, the clicking of bones, Spirits moaning among the tombstones, And the night, when the moon is bright, Someone cries, something ain't right. The moon is full, the air is still, All of a sudden I feel a chill, Victor is grinning, flesh rotting away, Skeletons dance, I curse this day, And the night when the wolves cry out, Listen close and you can hear me shout.
7.
What fear will the daylight bring? I'm running away What song does the night time sing? I'm running away Refuge in the shadowlands I'm running away With hope left in God's hands I'm running away I've been sleeping the days away But no one stayed awake for me I've been dreaming my nights away 'Cus no one stayed awake for me Down here where they understand I'm running away Down here in the shadowlands I'm running away
8.
They 04:35
We shared our pain We shared a memory in vain Our hearts may bruise But better broken than unused And those things they'd say They didn't matter anyway So please no more "they" 'cus we've got places They can't stay There's more in what they'll never see More than they could ever dream There's more to this 'cus I am you are me And there will come a day When one of us will fade away So let's make our peace And find a cure for this disease ' cus we had our stay In that place with better games to play There's more in what they'll never see More than they could ever dream There's more to this 'cus I am you are me

about

‘Apparition Sound’ is a record which is easily strong enough to stand on its own two feet. There’s the pop-punk purity of ‘Another Yesterday’, the My Chemical Romance-esque grandiosity of ‘Dead In Dreamland’ and the anthemic ‘The Shadowlands’, all delivered with a convincing blend of pomp and precision. The “down here in the Shadowlands, I’m running away” chorus of the latter in particular is evidence of Energy’s knack for killer songwriting. They even manage to make The Ramones’ most gothy song, ‘Pet Sematary’, even eerier on their superb cover of said track.

Such is Energy’s penchant for combining the ghostly with guitars, if the makers of a horror film wanted a punk band to soundtrack their flick, they’d be the ideal guys for the job. There aren’t many bands around who can express goth-punk sentiments as convincingly as these guys.”
