antilust The Black Capes have once again done excellent work, as per their previous 2 albums. The Black Capes are my favorite goth band, followed by The Midnight Computers. I also like Nightmare (Full Album) by Dark, Type-O-Negative (Bloody Kisses & after), Blackened Years Box Set by Theatres Des Vampires, The Sisters of Mercy (first album remastered), Malaise (Fifty-Two Ways), Tapping the Vein, Black Angel (The Widow, and Kiss of Death). Favorite track: Looks Like Death.

BoneWalker The best album of The Black Capes so far, imho. Combines foggy darkness with urban neon lights, sharp bites with tender cuddlings - true goth indeed! Favorite track: Reset.

CS Probably their best album yet. Love the saxophone on Reset, really makes me think of stuff like The Damned or Medicine Rain. Favorite track: Reset.

Apokalypsis 04:43
Hearing his voice Calling and calling and calling again From some other world, far away Someone you knew Visiting you as you speak out the words Don't be afraid, let him lead the way Secrets well kept Trying to reveal the fates of the dead Truth will be heard, today Going in trance Pushing the fear away just to hear what he has to say, from far away A warning to you To change your ways, before it's too late Judgment awaits, many steps in your way Gives you the chills Both sides are trying to claim your soul Lies they say, till you reach the gate Hear the spirits are calling
2.
Asphyxiate 04:05
See without using your eyes Feel without touching tonight The ghost of sorrows future is leading the way Bury all hope deep inside this grave with no name We all live in this endless nightmare Don't try to wake there is no such thing The land of dreams has been taken over Please let us out cause we can not breathe Trade a word for a scream Serve your tears as a drink You think you fly but instead you crawl on your bed Maybe the neon signs messed up your head We all live in this endless nightmare Don't try to wake there is no such thing The land of dreams has been taken over Please let us out cause we can not breathe
3.
Love is Love 04:59
You have been hiding for so long Ashamed, afraid and all alone This world has judged you way too harsh I see your black tears falling in the dark They say sin we say love Fearing fires from above There is no place for me and you in paradise They say shame we say proud Yet our silence is so loud There is no place for me and you in paradise And you just threw your crown away Nor king, nor queen, nor slave Come on, Come on, Come out We have been waiting for you to check out
4.
Walking pass the neon lights I'm smiling in the rain You might think that I'm insane But I am not to blame You see this city drained the light And left us in the dark I'm poisoning myself tonight It's better when you're numb We are the ghosts, we are the damned We don't fit your perfect world A bit at a time we die inside Blinded by salvation signs We are the ones you left behind Because we never stood in line And you wish we disappeared Every time that we are near No one wants to be around When the dead are out Every look filled with hate, They're hating us no doubt We were once just like you But life was not that kind I could have been in your place, You could have been in mine
5.
Reset 04:50
He said that he would change but he has not He'll do the same again when he gets drunk The bruises gone but the scars remain A bible in your drawer but hell is where you stay You stayed in silence You've been afraid Leave this life behind Just drive away Away The time has come like it has times again He speaks of love but really he don't care You cried all night your child in your arms You know how this all ends so do it while you can
6.
Cruel World 04:56
All this brutality, all this apathy I can't take no more, it's tearing me apart All this insanity, all this cruelty I can't stand to watch, what we have become Swallow me I'm offering myself I'll fight you from inside, until I break you Devour me Like the beast you are Lets not pretend we're friends, cruel world I hate you All this conformity, all this hypocrisy I don't want to fit, inside this fake belief All this conspiracy, this new reality you prepared for me, will end in fire Swallow me I'm offering myself I'll fight you from inside, until I break you Devour me Like the beast you are Lets not pretend we're friends, cruel world I hate you
7.
When a heart is broken The pieces can cut you like a knife When a heart is broken The love slips away and the heart slowly dies Heart tell me now What made you loose your faith in love And what demons made your flowers Turn so dark Heart tell me now What poison took away your trust And what evil filled your veins With such bad blood When a heart is broken So empty it becomes with only echoes of the past But sometimes Oh sometimes The love stays forever and ever Like in the stories we hear Till the end of times
8.
Apathy 04:25
A little lie to keep you safe To keep you far from all this pain What you don't know can bring no harm Rumors of what lies in the dark Rumors of things that you know not Have set your thoughts to travel far And yet... You stare in apathy If we tell you the truth would you lie about it If the truth hurts so much would you start to doubt it All the lies in the world, they can not drown it Don't you hear all the screams A free new world to keep you at bay To never look the other way To only listen what they say Another night another day A deja-vu where all is great A superficial view to say Oh well!
9.
Looks like death, looks like death is coming Her cold embrace, as you turn to nothing She is here, with a smile on her face Take her hand, as you leave this sad place She was here when life was born She will be the last to go Kingdoms rise and kingdoms fall But her work is endless The struggle to live, is what makes it worthwhile One hundred years, in a blink of an eye Kings and slaves, the poor and the rich In the end, they share the same fate She was here when life was born She will be the last to go When all is said and done She's the closing curtain
10.
Here she comes Dressed in black With roses at hand Takes her place On her velvet throne Inside your brain Once she gets in She will corrupt Your every dream And a whispering voice Always there in your head Every time that you try Telling you, you will fail You no longer can hope You no longer can pray Cause the same old voice Tells you to be afraid Don't you try to run Don't you try to hide Cause depression is calling Your name tonight And you try to smile But one million thoughts Of death and despair Won't leave you alone You adore the light But she draws the curtain Leaving dark behind Still you wish at times You could have the strength To keep her out of your mind And you blame yourself But you're not the one Who created her
