1.	Perish 04:37	lyrics
I don’t live here anymore, In this state of mind. Lost and nameless soldier, Lucid as red skies at dawn. Perish the name that call and pulls you in, The eyes, your eyes that tell. The pendulum swings indecision, Listen to the hourglass in final moments. I don’t want to say the truth, But its eating me up inside. Transgressions with a spark, Ignite where we want to be. Perish the name that call and pulls you in, The eyes, your eyes that tell. The pendulum swings indecision, Listen to the hourglass in final moments. Nothing in vain when we perish. Nothing in vain when we perish. Nothing in vain when we perish. Will we all suffer the same fate. I don’t live here anymore, In this state of mind. I don’t want to say the truth, but its eating me up inside. Perish the name that call and pulls you in, The eyes, the eyes that tell. The pendulum swings indecision, Listen to the hourglass in final moments. Nothing in vain when we perish. Nothing in vain when we perish. Nothing in vain when we perish. Will we all suffer the same fate.
2.	Shiver 05:01	lyrics
Unusual happenings, Bizarre incidents. Macabre in nature, I dreamed of you. Shiver, Shiver Shiver, Shiver Timeless menagerie, Impulsive desires. Strangely familiar, I wanted much more. Shiver, Shiver Shiver, Shiver. Archaic and mystifying Falter unto the inquisition. On the altar of my own decision The curious and strange. Everlasting flower, Old world helichrysum. You are new forever more, I dreamed of you. Shiver, Shiver Shiver, Shiver Archaic and mystifying Falter unto the inquisition. On the altar of my own decision The curious and strange. Archaic and mystifying Falter unto the inquisition. On the altar of my own decision The curious and strange.
3.	Crimson Waves 04:41	lyrics
Simple thoughts lost in translation. I get lost inside your words. One last kiss before night fall. A thousand hours lying in wait. Crimson waves wash over you. The past walks with me, It lives in crimson waves. In crimson waves, crimson waves, crimson waves. Ritual act my soul wanting. Emotive as the tale comes alive. One last wish for flame to catch fire. A thousand hours lying in wait. Crimson waves wash over you. The past walks with me, It lives in crimson waves. In crimson waves, crimson waves, crimson waves. I see you in shades of black and white. Solemn eyes light up his face. Her flowing hair to catch the night. A thousand hours in crimson waves. Crimson waves wash over you. The past walks with me, It lives in crimson waves. In crimson waves, crimson waves, crimson waves. I see you in shades of black and white. Solemn eyes light up his face. Her flowing hair to catch the night. A thousand hours in crimson waves.
4.	Fearless 04:56	lyrics
If you could hear me today, the words in my mouth. You woke up to play to say such things that tear and cry. Scour the clouds in search of rain, stripped of all but the taste of your flesh against my tongue. Excerpts from your dream world, have night of lace and leather wear. Playing faces in the shadows, candles flicker in the cold still air. Fearless, Fearless, I loose myself. Fearless, Fearless, We dance the night away. If you could hear me today, the words in my mouth. You woke up to play to say such things that tear and cry. Scour the clouds in search of rain, stripped of all but the taste of your flesh against my tongue. Excerpts from your dream world, have night of lace and leather wear. Playing faces in the shadows, candles flicker in the cold still air. Fearless, Fearless, I loose myself. Fearless, Fearless, We dance the night away. If you could hear me today, the words in my mouth. You woke up to play to say such things that tear and cry. Scour the clouds in search of rain, stripped of all but the taste of your flesh against my tongue. If you could hear me today, the words in my mouth. You woke up to play to say such things that tear and cry. Scour the clouds in search of rain, stripped of all but the taste of your flesh against my tongue.

Strap On Halo Seattle, Washington

“Strap On Halo's music harkens to 'traditional gothic' that is driven by howling guitars, resonating bass and a haunting female voice.”

I like the subtle way in which the tracks connect to the album cover, making this resting maiden the center point — calm in the midst of storm. (Just my interpretation maybe but the cover gives extra depth to the music... a softer undertone). The image reminds me of ‘Annunciation’ by Dante G. Rossetti used in ‘Adrenaline’ music video. ‘Smoke and Mirrors’ puts me at peace with big disappointments — a bittersweet musical potion. nicabreeze
