Cage 03:47
The air is thick with culture Burning silence underneath A million eyes gaze round but all see the same thing And as the rain beats down Onto the barren city streets Are we the only ones that see? That we live in a contradiction The death of fact for the birth of fiction Dont dare offend so they always aim to please Let me out of the cage or come on in Let me out of the cage or come on in Give me silence what I want its all I need To quit believing in a world of fallacy Lack the patience needed to live in mediocrisy Are we the only ones that see? That we live in a contradiction The death of fact for the birth of fiction Dont dare offend so they always aim to please Let me out of the cage or come on in Let me out of the cage or come on in These rules mean nothing to this brain washed pride leaves the masses i their sway Let your fears run away with your open mind All we need is time, all we need is time To burn this blindfold and open up your eyes Let me out of the cage or come on in Let me out of the cage or come on in...

Gilded Mask 03:25
You say so because I dont know or care why Why would I? Been let down, firmer firm ground Cold ego tells a story Speak like you never judge and hold your head up firmly Blame the other for the change And don't forget You're just another memory to me Give out answers like betrayal Keep your distance if you're able I've pretended for too long now That distant pain is buried under Spill solvent on your soul When it all goes There's nothing true about your gilded mask Pull the shards into place And invent yourself another past Give out answers like betrayal Keep your distance if you're able I've pretended for too long now That distant pain is buried under Give out answers like betrayal Keep your distance if you're able I've pretended for too long now That distant pain is buried under You don't own me You don't You don't own me now!

Hotel Hovel 05:17
The old man in your dreams Tells a future you will see About where you will go And what you will be But he's just a phantom of an imagination wild He has no place in this space and time What is a thought but the key to a cage? What are drugs but the rivers to erode you away? Blinded by guidance Pretentious messiahs Preach from their high street plateau So just burn your obsessions Or be naked and alone Wearing opinions that you never owned What is a thought but the key to a cage? What are drugs but the rivers to wash you away? What is a thought but the key to a cage? What are drugs but the rivers to erode you away? The drones are washing themselves of themselves With smoke that just leaves a stain on their minds The queen never says she will lock you away In a hive hotel for castaways Away...

See the water running down The rising well so very tall See the eye so very round Falling with your true loves name In the desert now they hide Speaking with their different phrase Turning all your paths around Symbols of your past are found And it hurts you so It hurts you so Fallen stars you found too soon Whispering fate and fortunes fools In the dark you find your name Many time and time again, and time and time again Watch the love you hate to give Feeling lost you turn around To find the futures on your back Carried by your weary hands And it hurts you so It hurts you so

In this thought space No links to the outside Surrounded by memories I wait I wait... If I lost myself here I would not know Keep on waiting until my surroundings flood within Imagination can become real That how I found you Inside my own dreams I told you I would return I will take you away with me Forever There is no darkness here It's only what we make This time is yours My gift to you You can make it yours Or you can make it ours Or you can destroy As you don't trust In everything you see Imagination can become real That how I found you Inside my own dreams I told you I would return I will take you away with me Forever Destroy me in your past And keep me a memory I will take my control And rise... Trust in me What choice do you have? At the end of your life and Theres only one way to go All your life was filled With choices And you chose this You chose to create Me

There's a war on these waves Hoist the sails into the sky There's the dead and the living And the ones that cant decide But fight and unite For the freedom we once knew Voidstalkers coming for you! Load (we're gonna), load (we're gonna), Load the guitar cannons Shoot (we're gonna), shoot (we're gonna), Shoot them at the enemy Load (we're gonna), load (we're gonna), Load the riff cannons Shoot (ready), shoot, (aim) shoot Them all down to hell (FIRE!) Why did i agree to write this song? It's all gone so wrong.... All the cannons will be shot But not into hell For I am pure Evil And my plans I will tell Before the dawn comes they will be on me crew Or walking the plank is what they will do so Load (we're gonna), load (we're gonna), Load the guitar cannons Shoot (we're gonna), shoot (we're gonna), Shoot them at the enemy Load (we're gonna), load (we're gonna), Load the riff cannons Shoot (ready), shoot, (aim) shoot Them all down to hell (FIRE!) Why did i agree to write this song? It's all gone so wrong... Theres always more fun when there's Always more fun when there's Always more fun when there's rum!

Lung Butter 04:41
It starts When you're lying in bed Wondering if the timers out On the pressure fuse in your head You know that this isn't right And there's no reason to be feeling that your muscles are bound tight So I take a page from the wall Read letters, cant attach a meaning at all So i stare at the page from the wall Can't think of anything for the Lung Butter True pathogen blues Lung Butter Holds no excuse Lung Butter Put's your throat in a noose Lung Butter Doesn't give a reason to you Lung butter When its holding your cards you are screwed Cos it wants you Sunrise arrives and puts the night time to bed Thoughts can't travel far within the contents of your waterlogged head The heat sets your mind alight And by twenty two to seven revelations are in sight Surrounded by leopards in black velvet gowns Angry shadows and a man who spins his head like an owl Playing his keyboard his notes dark and load He's just another victim of Lung Butter True pathogen blues Lung Butter Holds no excuse Lung Butter Put's your throat in a noose Lung Butter Doesn't give a reason to you Lung butter When its holding your cards you are screwed Cos it wants you One bizarre world has it's madness on show Its people wear masks and don't seek whats important Wasted in bed with a feverish glow Think Im awake but it segways and segways away Blurs up the lines from what is and can never be Chained to the Earth Made my choice on which way to go Think I'm awake but I'll never I'll never I'll never I'll never know

Where the light shines on you Different colours all around There are things I think you knew This is not a normal situation Underneath the surface I've not been quite right Why can't you see? These defenses are burying me Telling secrets in the dark But it doesn't mean I'm any closer to your heart So tell me what you need Cos' I don't ever want to let you down again There are many ways to make a smile And everyone is just as beautiful to me So there's no reason to hide You should be happy now Not holding in your pain Underneath the surface I've not been quite right Why can't you see? These defenses are burying me Underneath the surface I've not been quite right Why can't you see? These defenses are killing me

You've been floating around again, flaunting yourself So everybody will know and everybody sees Justified by the actions of those who know you the most You feast on Another socialite gathering that's just not to be missed Those unmerciful hormones will draw in what you'd resist As the watered down liquor slowly loosens your grip You lose a part of yourself You make me question why I tolerate this A slave to the lowbrain and its chemical hits There's nothing complex about you yet you still baffle me Etch your name on the christened and throw your Shit at the rest Taking trips with your ego Fuel your hearts fastest beat A needless Jesus still has judases that he cant defeat You keep on turning those heads to press them into the sheets You might as well be alone You make me question why I tolerate this And I can assert What we both know is right But still you’ll lie with me tonight And still you wont believe it And still you wont believe it As the millions wasted Look to their home from their floors This hollow little world is whole Its all over the walls, it covers the floor Pieces of ego Not secured I've emptied Myself into you A part of me Now a part of you There's nothing here At least nothing new The hole in me For the hole in you

Mouse 05:59
Come here Wasting my time With sweet talk and memories That girl is gone And she’s locked the door now Find me a future And I'll make my own before you Falling in love with you Feels like, falling away from you And I just can't hold on anymore Come here With empty promises Now I can keep myself warm And away from you I can hold the silence forever Until you think to ask me What it was worth to you? Falling in love with you Feels like, falling away from you And I just can't hold on anymore SURFACE Come here With these stains Wasted opportunities, it’s me that you blame The clocks are changing Set always to these small distractions So that we never question The things we should The things that we should...

about

This is our debut album! 10 songs, professionally recorded to the highest standard, we have worked very hard to make this the best we possibly could for you and your earholes.

Some of the nice things people have said about Sight in Shadow:

"The likes of Opeth, Soundgarden and System Of A Down have been cited as influences and one listen to the band and you’ll see why - they shine through their sound. Guitar driven, they have a dark, shadowy vibe capped by Emily Garrard’s confident vocals that succeed in being both soulful and powerful.

Each member has a eclectic taste and so their sound is pulled in a myriad of directions which keep the listener guessing. Be they channeling the low end of Black Sabbath, the progressive leanings of everyone’s favourite madman Devin Townsend or revelling in the spirit of Faith No More or a full throttle Deftones, there is plenty to sink your teeth into"
- Phil Weller, manchesterrocks.webs.com


"Excellent musicianship on display here, it always pleases me to see a guitarist with a 7-string guitar who actually uses more than the bottom 2 strings and explores the extra range that instrument provides!"
- Thomas Black, Hazard Media

"If we ever get our hands on an interstellar battlecruiser, bristling with planet killing missiles, we'd definitely call it Voidstalker.

How to describe their sound? Imagine dreaming about Gallon Drunk on acid in an alternative universe, it's psychedelic, prog rock, post modernistic power punk, poetically, intensely, darkly powerful stuff. There is a creatively intelligent and organic feel to Voidstalkers music."
- The Quantum Poet, Surroundedby.co.uk
