Lost Vision 12:16
It's nice outside, green and blue though for us this cannot be true We have a loose link (Do we?) And I am on the brink Where have I gone? Where is my sun? I don't remember the green grass I walked on, only shattered glass At first, I'm all so different I now know that's my talent Built myself hope and trust I made it crumble oh so fast A safe mask is what I need A blurred world is all I see My mind gets smeared over Dying again to be sober I'm feeling alone I hear only the drone Wanna get out of this Can't get out of this Dying to get out of this How do I get into this? Running to get out of this A torture getting out of this A torture getting into this Help me get out of this Waiting to get out of this Do I wanna get out of this? Waves are rising and sinking Smearing over what was true Try to hide under the dark sky Because everything is a lie I like me mostly when I sleep So my thoughts do not run deep Cannot talk and cannot move No antics, nothing to prove A safe mask is what I have It'll bring me into my grave I am now beginning to lose What I was able to choose This mask has limited vision Helps me to see black and white No hesitation and no revision I get me down, but you are right A safe mask is what I have It'll bring me into my grave I am now beginning to lose What I was able to choose This mask has limited vision helps me to see black and white No hesitation and no revision I get me down, but you are right This mask has limited vision helps me to see black and white No hesitation and no revision I got me down, but you we're right

I try to look into your eyes But I look right through You didn't need to pay the price (I had to) I have lost you You walk away into the fog Marching away without a plan Leaving me alone in the bog With hopeless hopes in the rain You shine in your complacency Threw away the decency You had the chance to clear the fog But instead you'd hide in it (Or was it me?) Faith less Love less Faithless Crumbling under solid rock Loveless Since the stroke of the clock A silhouette in the fog And I don't know who it is Every day you'd put on your mask Identifying is my only task Over time, one of it adhered It's the one I always feared A silhouette in the fog Happy to not wave goodbye Distance blurs my eyes A clear end, no epilogue At first, all so different I now know that's your talent Built a mountain of hope and trust You made it crumble oh so fast

Good To Me 03:40
You and me are all alone The TV glow, it sets the tone You and me together again Your appeal, my filthy gain (I think I need something now) No! Conscience's on my side Yes! Abandon the fight I have wanted you for so long And I know that you are good to me I am beginning to crumble, to fade This sad happy thing you have made A blonde girl whispers to my ear It'll work again, really, have no fear One more or not, just splitting hairs The girl's just in the TV (Well, who cares?) Yes, I abandon the fight Yes, I abandon the fight I sense there was something before Drifting away, I see no shore Welcome, welcome to this great show With me, the girl and the TV glow (I don't give a shit now)

about

"Black And White" is the first release by the German Prog Band "Derelict Sun".
The record tells the story of a man whose life spirals out of control. The lyrics are written both from his own perspective as well as from an unspecified significant other's perspective.
The music represents the different moods and stages the protagonist goes through.

With David and Yannik having their musical roots in the metal genre but always striving for new ideas and inspirations and trying not to limit themselves, this has become a very versatile record reaching from experimental, instrumental and percussion music over ballad-, rock- and jazz-compositions all the way to quite heavy metal stuff.

about

Derelict Sun Troisdorf, Germany

Having played together in the German Death Metal Band "Expire" for quite a few years, we decided to initiate a new project focusing on progressive music. Since we've always been home in the many rock and metal genres, that is where "Derelict Sun" still has its roots, but in order to being open for new ideas and influences, we won't limit ourselves to specific genres or standards. ... more
