gh0sti3c0ff1nzz I remember hearing this band from the video called 40 years of goth style. I have been listening to this band for a couple years and they are amazing. They are the reason why I want to be a musician when I grow up and why I taught myself how to play guitar.thank you guys for inspiring me to be a musician Favorite track: Contemplate.

Ruzica Parsons I was watching a video on Youtube called "40 years of Goth style..." and in the background the music of Amy's arms (Kisses and My dear Violet). I immediately googled them because I fell in love with the sound instantaneously. Spreading the word about these guys! They need to be heard! Keep up the good work! Favorite track: Kisses.

Jeneneh I spent my teenage years in the 90's going to see bands like Switchblade Symphony and Sunshine Blind. Your album brought those memories back in the best possible way. I love your sound! Favorite track: Clock.

Hands so cold, breathless heart My thoughts twined with time Shed cold reality To once again smile with you And laugh the laugh I'll never hear again I'll never hear again If I never love again I'll never miss it Because I only want You to have it And no one else I'll hate other who come near Who try and take your place I can now sit with you And hear the silence We hear it together So let me grow armor Let me keep you inside Just another sunrise On a cold, bland sea Gun metal grey again To rub out all my dreams Wind passes through the sails That are slashed and frayed Leaving me to float alone Eternally The layered, low cast clouds Lit by city lights below A beautiful site I know it to be true But the night would shine brighter still If I lived far away with you

Clock 03:06
The light is turning a corner She stays awake longer now And pushes through the grey Time traveler she We've both been here before But she will still enjoy Long after I have gone Gentle, gentle She passes you like a dream She can ignore the tick of a clock But to you it matters all the more Forever is lost to you, you see Water kills the fire Gas lamps have lost their flame Electric crackles away the day I see another brightness That will fade I see it in front of The mirror everyday

Wave 04:58
Minarets in the distance Black against a blazing sky Feet on the sand I spin around and 'round To ancient beats Stare down a snow capped mountain Who stares back with reflecting eyes Tangled in a shawl of silk Weaved by the old woman's hand Smile through my frown I'm a lucky lady In another land My equal is being cut down Look the other way And give me all the things That I want Someone far away Is crying today Cascade down dancing sunlight Touch the stone of steeples high Saints still stare empty eyed Carved by a long forgotten man Midday moon in a snow haze Swirling with the beat of my heart Blue watered white sand beach To hide away an island's fame

Kisses 03:25
Sweet blood kisses Walks on a rainy beach Tearing away and throwing sand This was who I was when I met you When I met you One flame burning It lives within my mind Wonderful thoughts of evil deeds This was how I was when I took you When I took you I could yell at you and lay blame But a I have to do is walk behind my eyes Take a walk behind my eyes And see the way that I am Sweet quick killing My lips upon your skin Warm blood in my parched dry mouth This was what I was when I killed you When I killed you The waves crash as blood dries On the corners of my lips I need it more than air I'll gladly drown in crimson The red sunset on the water makes me thirsty

Contemplate 04:01
You kissed me when we said goodbye And I could feel the place for hours My hands touched my lips again With a memory that still burned hot My patience with your love Has walked across the bridge of clouds Where I dwell in a lonely garden Far from where I lie Scar my songs With slivers through my tongue And blisters bubble on my soul I can be ice and gone This cold crevice in which I hide Tucked within grey stone To keep me warm In sadness I abide My body has not yet Turned the earth And warm summer air Still fills me But one day my life shall wither And grow cold If I cherish only you And the wrinkles of love run smooth Please allow us to live together In a place without time

Tram 04:35
Mist finger tracing hearts On the pane Missing you as I race away Runaway That's all I am to me To me Is there a day when love will play? It's always good to see you My self is lost today When you need me I will always be here I made you an offer But you refused I know you were tempted But too good a friend You knew my peril, my agony My agony I light a candle and leave As I walk down the stairs All that I've been trying to bury Comes out On the street I look at your window And there you are Trying to leave my heart behind Think forward, push past This impossible loss Forget these hands, forget my destiny That wraps me to you Is there a day when love will play? Is there a day when love will stay?
