Dark Journey 04:35

I'm drifting Across an ocean without shores I'm sailing It's like a tunnel That never ends And I'm getting sick of it It's like a dark journey Through my own skin It makes me feel so incomplete I'm drifting Across an ocean without shores I'm sailing On a ship made of frozen stones I have everything but I'm Still alone The love is gone The world's so cold The world's so cold My mind's like a desert Menaced to drown in its vast expanse With a heart full of emptyness and changing moods There's so much more I want to know And so much time I've wasted for nothing My soul still's not satisfied (...tisfied) I'm drifting Across an ocean without shores I'm sailing On a ship made of frozen stones I have everything but I'm Still alone The love is gone The world's so cold The world's so cold I try to shout it out They just stare holes into the air This darkness brings me down But these ignorants won't care I'm drifting Across an ocean without shores I'm sailing On a ship made of frozen stones I have everything but I'm Still alone The love is gone The world's so cold The world's so cold I'm drifting Across an ocean without shores I'm sailing On a ship made of frozen stones I have everything but I'm Still alone The love is gone The world's so cold The world's so cold

Escape 04:02
lyrics

When this feeling comes around And rage grows in your head You hear the people talk illogical things Everything around Seems to be absurd The circle of life loses Its limits between fiction and reality The sun burns on your face You'd like to run, like to run But you can't Try to escape From this ironic world Leave your anger and fear behind And take a look inside When you try to escape Because it drives you mad Don't forget who you are but you know Just let the rain wash your face To come round again Sometimes you're scared 'cause you think there is Something behind your back You turn around But you are alone Fear's running down your veins You're caught in a trap Coldness fulfills the air You want to hide yourself, hide yourself But you can't Try to escape From this ironic world Leave your anger and fear behind And take a look inside When you try to escape Because it drives you mad Don't forget who you are but you know Just let the rain wash your face Try to escape From this ironic world Leave your anger and fear behind And take a look inside You've got to help me I'm drowning I've got no air to breathe Oh-oh-oh Try to escape Because it drives you mad Don't forget who you are and you know Just let the rain wash your face Try to escape From this ironic world Leave your anger and fear behind And take a look inside When you try to escape Because it drives you mad Don't forget who you are but you know Just let the rain wash your face To come round again Oh-oh-oh Because it drives you mad Don't forget who you are but you know Just let the rain wash your face

Sound of Rain 04:47
lyrics

Shadows move along the pavements Nobody will care Only the angels who're waiting there Silent people, grey old faces Without relation Blank and forsaken Black butterfly lands beside my feet It covers a flower And takes all its colours away Where's the future? Where's the past? I'm searching for the answers But who's there to ask? And all these people pass me by Without reflection in their eyes It turns round and round and round All I hear is this pattering sound Standing between the words they're saying Get out! Get out! Get out! I'm not the one who goes your way I just hear the sound of the rain Thunder's rumbling above me So much indifference I see And light is fading immediately There not ready, not ready to go Unless the rain stops falling We all will go down And all these people just walk by And I don't see a single smile It turns round and round and round All I hear is this pattering sound Standing between the words they're saying Get out! Get out! Get out! I'm not the one who goes your way I just hear the sound of the rain If things just don't make sense I need someone to take my hand We're living in suspense But there are things we can't pretend It turns round and round and round All I hear is this pattering sound Standing between the words they're saying Get out! Get out! Get out! I'm not the one who goes your way I just hear the sound of the rain

Taking Control 04:17

A look into their eyes What kind of weird situation Fanatic minds disguised Behind a wall of frustration Here we go again Along the highways of sensation Evil tongues inside your brain Slavery for the nation I'm sitting here and listen to your words But they can't take me higher Hey now! Follow us! The butchers are waiting They're gonna smash your brains Oh yeah! Hey now! Let yourself go No matter who you are We're taking control of you Scientists are paid to change Our life's destination Swallowed pill in your stomach Gives you no elevation Full and bored you wait in vain For a new revolution Nobody wants to know the truth And you're lost in confusion I'm sitting here and listen to your words But they can't take me higher Changing the channels more and more But it doesn't satisfy my desires Hey now! Follow us! The butchers are waiting They're gonna smash your brains Oh yeah! Hey now! Let yourself go No matter who you are We're taking control of Hey now! Follow us! The butchers are waiting They're gonna smash your brains Oh yeah! Hey now! Let yourself go No matter who you are We're taking control of you We're taking control of you We're taking control of you We're taking control of you Of you, of you, of you The butchers are waiting The butchers are waiting Hey now! Follow us! The butchers are waiting They're gonna smash your brains Oh yeah! Hey now! Let yourself go No matter who you are We're taking control of you Hey now! Follow us! The butchers are waiting The butchers are waiting Hey now! Let yourself go No matter who you are We're taking control of you You, You, You, oh Oh, the butchers are waiting The butchers are waiting

All the things you do will come back to you Back to you, oh, back to you All the things you do All the things you do All the things you do What have we done to the world Look what we've done How will it be for the ones Who come after us We burn the woods We burn the forests We kill the beasts Until no more 're left We waste the food And pollute the waters We steal the gifts That 're not ours That 're not ours All the things you do will come back to you one day No matter if you hide or run away There's no escape from the mistakes you make All the things you do will come back to you one day No matter if you hide or run away There's no escape from the mistakes you make From the mistakes you make You treat the earth as a slave But one day you'll have to pay for it I speak some words 'cause I can To make you understand Who do you think you are? Doing experiments on animals Skin them alive for vanity Or shoot them down to get trophies But what do you need that for? All the things you do will come back to you one day No matter if you hide or run away There's no escape from the mistakes you make All the things you do will come back to you one day No matter if you hide or run away There's no escape from the mistakes you make You can change You can change You can change You can change You can change You can change You can change You can change The mist among the trees The sun rising The secrets of the oceans The crystal lakes The hills and the deserts The snow on the mountain tops The rain upon your skin The birds singing Isn't it worth keeping? Isn't it worth keeping? Tell me, isn't it worth keeping? Isn't it worth keeping? Isn't it worth? Isn't it worth? Isn't it worth keeping? Isn't it worth keeping? Isn't it worth keeping? Isn't it worth? Isn't it worth? Isn't it worth keeping? You can change You can change You can change Uhhh You can change You can change

Feel, feel you Like I never felt you before Care for you I don't care about the truth 'Cause I miss you You're unapproachable to me You are veiled in mysteries My heart is yours, for sure, tonight Promise me you'll hold me tight Feel (Feel you) Feel (I need to feel you) Oh, feel you (I need to feel you) Feel (Feel you) Feel (I need to feel you) I feel you, I feel you (I need to feel you) I'm wandering on Quiet and lonely paths Through the dark Fears hunt me And the last hope that I've got Falls apart I wish that I was in your arms Where I feel sheltered, safe and warm My heart is yours, for sure, tonight Promise me you'll hold me tight Feel (I need to feel you) Feel (I need to feel you) Feel you, oh (I need to feel you) Feel (Feel you) Feel (I need to feel you) I feel you, I feel you (I need to feel you) If I had another chance to show How much my love has grown for you, baby I would choose another path to run But it's too slow for you I'm not the same girl that I used to be Since you love me (I need to feel you) Oh, feel you (feel you) (I need to feel you) Oh, feel (I need to feel you) Feel (I need to feel you) I feel you, I feel you (I need to feel you)

Fire On the Horizon 05:18

Just take a moment A little bit of your time Don't look behind you Stand still for a little while It feels strange somehow But special in a way that makes me smile I'm here on my own Without someone who gets me down It's alright 'Cause these tears will dry There's a fire on the horizon And it takes my sight away My sight away I'm running through fields of sorrow And I'm on my way tonight But what will be tomorrow? Can I get out of this madness? You stretch your hands out But you can't reach me now I'm standing on a mountain top I wanna fly like a bird in the infinite sky Give me my peace of mind So I can rest, I need some air to breathe And I feel eternity When I look above and watch the clouds leave with tears Wind will make me spread my wings When it lifts me up I'll loose all my fears And I'll be free Without the limits that are binding me There's a fire on the horizon And it takes my sight away My sight away I'm running through fields of sorrow And I'm on my way tonight But what will be tomorrow? Can I get out of this madness? You stretch your hands out But you can't reach me now You can't reach me now You can't reach me now There's a fire on the horizon And it takes my sight away My sight away But it is just the sun That goes down tonight

Now every single moment Takes a whole lifetime And my whole world turned into ice You've been the sun in my sky Your touches burned my skin You gave me more than love could give Now there are oceans between us And I can't go back The nights are never-ending The days don't satisfy And every word just seems to lie How can I live without you By my side I miss you And you're so far away From me I miss you And I wish I'd see your face again Again, again Once you said you love me And I believed it's true And I can swear I loved you, too What we had was very special Nothing compared to this You were my hope and my fortress I'm so alone It's getting colder and colder Without you here I miss you And you're so far away From me I miss you And I wish I'd see your face again Again, again Your smile made me feel so alive I could see the sunlight in your eyes I still hear you whisper my name And your laugh still Echoes in the rooms of my crying heart Oh, I miss you And you're so far away From me I miss you And you're so far away From me I miss you And I wish I'd see your face again Again, again

In my last dream There was you and me Both of us lying in your bed And we made love Hot and slowly Body to body There's no time and there's no fear There's no one else just you and me There're no lies and no duties Caught in a moment of eternity I look in your eyes And I feel like I'm flying I know your mine And I'm yours, I am yours I am yours For the rest of my life In my last dream There was you and me Both of us lying in your bed And we made love Hot and slowly Body to body There's no time and there's no fear There's no one else just you and me There're no lies and no duties Caught in a moment of eternity I look in your eyes And I feel like I'm flying I know your mine And I'm yours, I am yours I am yours You open the door to my soul And even if you don't reach the core you'll get close And you might see things that you'd never expect to know You never get to know In my last dream I look in your eyes And I feel like I'm flying I know your mine And I'm yours, I am yours I am yours For the rest of my life

Here we are Here we are Oh, oh Here we are Strange voices in the wind They're calling for better days I've watched some ravens on bare trees 'Til they left through the morning haze Where do they go? I guess they're looking for a sunset In these empty lands Winter follows And he's reaching out for us With his freezing hands Freezing hands Here we are Watched our kingdoms fall Now there's nothing 'cause we've gone too far The earth is full of wounds and scars A victim of all the senseless wars we fought The moon hangs lonesome in the sky She's waiting for better days She's lost her shine and lost her faith As we do in so many ways Where do we go? I guess we're looking for a sunset In these empty lands But we don't know If the sun will ever shine for us again Here we are Watched our kingdoms fall Now there's nothing 'cause we've gone too far The earth is full of wounds and scars A victim of all the senseless wars we fought We fought Here we are Watched our kingdoms fall Now there's nothing 'cause we've gone too far The earth is full of wounds and scars A victim of all the senseless wars Senseless wars we fought, we fought Here we are Watched our kingdoms fall Now there's nothing 'cause we've gone too far The earth is full of wounds and scars A victim of all the senseless wars we fought We fought Here we are

Busy day Some things are undone But where else can I turn? Shady walls beneath The painting of a road With no return So here I am And here I stand There's only one place where I feel safe Here in your arms I weigh in peaceful silence Tell me how far And I will go and find them Here in your arms I weigh in peaceful silence Tell me how far And I will go and find them No moving Beyond this infinite universe Living an innocent moment Meant to burn Lovely waterfalls Natural perfection Can be seen Through a mirror without reflection So here I am And here I stand There's only one place where I feel safe Here in your arms I weigh in peaceful silence Tell me how far And I will go and find them Here in your arms I weigh in peaceful silence Tell me how far And I will go and find them

about

Like a booming thunderstorm into the dark valleys of our society - that's how singer-songwriter and music producer Lyn Conary describes her second LP which carries the mystical title "Through the Dark". The German-born artist wrote each of the songs between 2003-2005 and despite her artistical ambitions they have just now (2016) found their way into the world, almost 12 years later. Like the fore-runner and debut LP "Ordinary Exception" (2014), "Through the Dark" is completely selfmade, from vocal & guitar recording, instrumentation to all editing, arranging and mixing.

"Through the Dark" perfectly reflects what Lyn V. Conary stands for as an artist, her love for mysticism and mystery - and in her metaphorical, profound and poetic lyrics she very much opens up about her emotionality and vulnerability regarding human beings and how they treat the world. She describes her sound as elegiac, melancholic, dark and spheric, partly accompanied by rock guitars, however, yet dreamy and up-lifting - like the spell of an ancient long-forgotten world, a walk through a mist-shrouded autumn forest, a longing call for love and safety as well as solidarity for a better world.

"I'm not here to entertain people, there's a clear difference; I want to inspire, give hope and show that everything's possible and that nobody is alone. 'Through the Dark' is about how I had to find my way to cope with the dark sides of nowadays society which nearly crushed me. A lot of people know me as an enthusiastic and optimistic person, but my positive outlook got heavily shaken when I started to fit in and adjust myself to the wrong ideals and values. On this album I describe my way of dealing with this."

Lyn wants to change something, she intends to create a new consciousness. "Through the Dark" is meant to take you on a one-hour journey, unreachable, apart from time and space. Let yourself be enchanted and feel the magic of THROUGH THE DARK!
