    The new recording of Lament - this is closer to our live version, where we show off a little bit and play with our musical talents at the ending.
    Credits: lyrics by Kevyn LeBlanc, music by Gallows Hill

    Story Behind the Song
    We were going for a more tragic, darker version of what was already a good tune, and found it by tuning Kev's guitar down to C. This allowed a greater leeway of vocal range for me, and we decided to enhance the effect of the song by ad-libbing the ending somewhat. It's one of our most popular live tunes - and yes, I really did hit that note. :) - Lady Sable

    Most of you are probably already familiar with this baby. Many of us in the band have long since dug this song, and those who are close to the band list this song as one of their favorites. When we played this song live, the effect was enormous. Sable hit the highest notes I had ever heard come out of her, and the roar of the crowd blasted me after the last few notes of the guitar faded away. This song is dedicated to our friends and our loyal fans; you are truly immortal. - Kev

    Lyrics
    The darkest shade of night
    Unveils its despair once again
    The hunger pains you
    You must feed again

    Blood again stains your soul
    Are you satisfied?
    No, your desire still burns strong
    For suicide of the dawn

    CHORUS 1
    One heart's desire still a thousand years old
    Immortals cannot die, bloody tears that which you cry
    For love is forbidden
    The lament of immortality

    You prey upon another victim
    Another life you will claim
    To another moon you can awake
    So you can feed again

    You long for the final sunrise
    To feel it burn away your eyes
    You drank life's wine
    You will live one more day

    CHORUS 2
    You almost hear the moon's mocking laughter
    The trail of blood follows you, the cries of anguish consume you
    Forever you long
    For suicide of the dawn

    SOLO

    Crawl into your coffin
    Slumber is your escape
    No more will the love
    Or heartache rape

    REPEAT CHORUS 1
    REPEAT CHORUS 2
