the darkness
the lyrics of our songs are not the kind you hear on the radio.
our songs tell of love, hate, life and death, of being misunderstood
and mislead. we want to tell stories that most of the people out
in the world can relate to, because they've been told the same
lies, they suffered from the same pain, they didn't know the answers
to the same questions. our songs are not our story. the stories
are our songs...
n e a rdistance - we bring the darkness back to music...
