lyrics

You picked me up
From the ground on which I laid
And the sadness that surrounded me again
You gave me trust
Ever more than I should rate
With the same familiar feeling of restraint

No one will belong to us
And no one who will care
Through the story
The story of M

Will this stay a part of us?
Or will it go away?

An Angelus
As imperative as light
Standing by my side no matter where I hide
A Quietus
Laid upon our guiltless speech
As the public tried to get us out of reach

No one will belong to us
And no one who will care
Through the story
The story of M

Will this stay a part of us?
Or will it go away? Fade away

I don’t want to live like this
I don’t want to think of this
Can’t go on to live like this
Falling in the past abyss

No one will belong to us
And no one who would care
If the story of M were to end

Will this stay a part of us?
Or will it go away?
It’s the story
The story of M

When you look back
Do you still feel the same way?
Or has your reason thrown those memories away…?

about

Shrine of August Herent, Belgium

Shrine of August is the solo project of Belgian drummer / songwriter Steve Vanderperren. After many years playing various genres, the time was right to bring together all ideas and influences from his musical beginning till today. To sum it all up, the term "Prog Noir" came up. Progressive elements will definitely remain, but the emphasis is on the music itself, not necessarily its technicality. ... more
