    More of an arrangement than a remix or cover, this song is part of the great Armageddon Project remixing project. Mine is a more electronic version than the original. I wanted to go with a "Welcome To The Machine" feel for this song, and I think it worked out pretty well. Please give me your thoughts. And join the mailing list!!

    Story Behind the Song
    The very first time I heard this song, I knew I would have to make it my own. I spent more time on this song than almost any other, perhaps more than any other, and I'm still unsure if it's satisfactory (to my perfectionist standards). It is undoubtably one of my best yet, however, as I'm never truly satisfied with my work, I suppose. The original song was written by Mike of the Armageddon Project, about suicide. I kept the original intent of the song the same, but bent it a bit to apply to me. Clearly, my added lyrics reflect on my struggle with depression, and the fact that I write music to express myself and relieve that depression.

    Lyrics
    Lyrics By the Armageddon Project:
    verse 1
    -------

    As nightfall comes, the lonely whispers filling up my head
    Blood red eyes and sleeplessness from crying by my bed
    Lying, staring at the ceiling will soon become my bane
    Desperation brings the time when I will try again


    chorus 1
    --------

    When nightfall comes
    When nightfall comes


    verse 2
    --------

    I see you falling to your knees, you do your best to pray
    A vision floating oh so near, and yet so far away
    Time is endless, wholly boundless, the path is true and straight
    Nothing could ever make me stray; forever or as long as it takes


    chorus 2
    -----------------------

    When nightfall comes
    I'll be waiting
    When nightfall comes
    Drawing near
    When nightfall comes
    I'll be praying
    When nightfall comes
    For you to hear

    Added Lyrics by Aaron Becker (The Second Child):

    When nightfall comes I am suddenly flying
    For miles and miles in the night, over fields
    When I close my eyes and become what I want to
    The fighting stops and my depression yields

    And I sometimes wonder if trying is worth it
    If I'm just as worthless and dumb as they say
    But I close my eyes and ignore all the pain
    And I think of the music that I'll write someday
