lyrics
Open the Gates of Heaven to me,
Tonight I need salvation,
Open the doors of your sanctuary,
Deliver me from damnation,
Open the Gates of Heaven to me,
Spread angels' wings over my head,
This word is full of demons,
and the innocent are easily lead,
Do you see me when I'm lying awake?
Do you hear my voice when I pray?
If you can hear me,
This is my prayer for winter,
Reach out and heal me,
I am the true believer,
If you can hear me,
This is my prayer for mercy,
I'm collapsing to my knees,
Won't you shelter me?
Open the Gates of Heaven to me,
And shower me in your light,
We've drifted so far from eden,
Please return me to what is right,
Open the Gates of Heaven to me,
Take my stained hands and make them clean,
Light of the world, you're an only child,
Won't you show me where you've been?
Do you see me when I'm lying awake?
Do you hear my voice when I pray?
If you can hear me,
This is my prayer for winter,
Reach out and heal me,
I am the true believer,
If you can hear me,
This is my prayer for mercy,
I'm collapsing to my knees,
Won't you shelter me?
Won't you shelter me....?
(this is the third time i've opened this book with trembling fingers...most of the time it shows me things i don't want to see...and i worry that its something else that's guiding me...the wrong something else...i feel so desperate for some form of clarity...so if i really do this again...if i really take that chance...i need to know that you'll show me what i need to see...God save them....and God please....save me.....)

It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days.
Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago. modestwriggles
“Strangers” is packed with wonderfully menacing electro-goth—late-night horror movie music for vampire dance parties. Bandcamp New & Notable May 8, 2023
New on Grimalkin, this EP from Phantómódel is an irresistible batch of gothy post-punk that is delightfully harrowing. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 16, 2019
