A gleam of light that strikes fear on the battlefield A gleam of light born from the depths of the abyssal fires Glare: the Wingless Angel, the harbinger of sorrow, chaos and death Glare: the mighty fighter, the cursed relic’s barer, the blade of light Regret incarnate, a sorrowful past A war-machine, a simple tool that kills Once guided by the god of corruption The Darkness within her is burning her soul The Darkness that she herself spread is now crawling back to her Yet she stays focused, the perfect killing instrument She must atone for her atrocities Glare: the Wingless Angel, the harbinger of sorrow, chaos and death Glare: the mighty fighter, the cursed relic’s barer, the blade of light Glare: the Wingless Angel, the harbinger of sorrow, chaos and death Glare: the mighty fighter, the cursed relic’s barer, the blade of light Now she stays focused, the perfect killing instrument She must atone for her atrocities The blackness is drowning her heart The only thing that gives her peace: A loving sister of different blood The one she calls “Evelyn” A gleam of light that strikes fear on her enemies

Who decides what’s true or false? Who gave us the right? Who decides the value of all life? Nothing is set in stone. We come, we go We leave our signature But are we as welcome as we think? [We are the uninvited guests] We are frail Yet we starve for dominance We call it “necessary evil” But we enjoy the kill Who decides what’s true or false? Who gave us the right? Who decides the value of all life? Nothing is set in stone. We come, we go We leave our mark But we are not welcome at all! The rules are simple Yet they do not apply We exclude Our own pathetic lives We are the ones that ruin this world We are the uninvited guests We are to blame for everything gone wrong Indifference is all that remains Who decides what’s true or false? Who gave us the right? Who decides the value of all life? Nothing is set in stone.

Step by step, I’m running out of breath The staircase that leads to freedom is guarded by prisoners Their weak minds are susceptible to lies They are an easy target, a heavy burden, negotiation tools. And here I stay With broken wings With blackened soul [My own Façade] A wounded bird Without a sky To fly free And here I stay With my own thoughts My own prison [My own hell] A shattered shade Inside a cage That I built Pitying them And hating them They are mannequins That wear human faces [The staircase that leads to freedom is guarded by prisoners] [Their weak minds are susceptible to lies] And here I stay With broken wings With blackened soul [My own Façade] A wounded bird Without a sky To fly free And here I stay With my own thoughts My own prison [My own hell] A shattered shade Inside a cage That I built My own body feels alien to me, as if it belongs to someone else. My peace is slowly slipping away as I enter a nightmare that I cannot control. I am merely a side character written by someone who doesn’t even hate me. A writer who doesn’t even acknowledge my very existence. Somebody, please, save me… Who are you? What are you? Who are you? What are you? Who are you? What are you? Who are you? What are you? Who are you? -I’m no one What are you? -a simple lie Who are you? -I’m no one What are you? -but I don’t mind Who are you? -I’m no one What are you? -a simple lie Who are you? -I’m no one What are you? -but I’m alive!

On the surface lies the key to dethrone the tyrant But the depth of our sea is so shallow On the surface lies the key to dethrone the tyrant But the depth of our sea is so shallow So low Fear and hate: a powerful tool Discrimination is guiding the fools And dipped in ignorance the sheep shall march A necessary sacrifice Obey Suffer Don’t raise your head False gods guiding the whole world Driven by madness and unending greed They keep growing, they keep feeding on apathy In this unending well of desperation We fall right in We are losing hope We must find our way No light in the dark and no one brave enough to walk Cower in fear Abandon what you hold most dear Drown yourself in blood and wash it all away in faith’s name Believe in an afterlife to soothe your pain Eat the lies, enjoy the shallow life It walks unseen, the phantom of deceit Unable to fight it, the phantom of deceit It walks unseen, the phantom of deceit Unable to fight it, the phantom of deceit We are losing hope We must find our way No light in the dark and no one brave enough to walk Obey Suffer Don’t raise your head Fear and hate: a powerful tool Discrimination is guiding the fools And dipped in ignorance the sheep march A necessary sacrifice

Dark gray skin and shining gold eyes Horns to signify the coming of a devil A heart filled with grief. The weapon of demise Desperate to prove that Glare was not evil Two sisters of different blood Two comrades wielding absolute power A broken greatsword, a symbol of her broken soul [Killing, burning, spreading pain. Killing, burning, spreading pain.] Death in living form, the nightmare of the gods [Killing, burning, spreading pain. Killing, burning, spreading pain.] Her bloodied fangs strike fear on her enemies’ hearts Velvet crimson hair and shining gold eyes Horns to signify the coming of a devil A heart filled with grief. The weapon of demise Desperate to prove that Glare was not evil Two soldiers bound by revenge Chaos is the only thing that satisfies her heart Two comrades fighting on the world’s Edge Chaos is the only thing that cures her insanity [Killing, burning, spreading pain. Killing, burning, spreading pain.] A lone sister that thirsts for blood An Assassin wielding absolute power

A Flower that blooms and lives and dies A spring with colorless skies Why does time keep flowing indifferently when all else fades away? Despair fills the air Despair fills our souls And the Garden that once gave us life now stands barren and cold Here I remain alone and empty A shadow of a past self Bereaved and desperate, I now wander aimlessly in grief A Flower that blooms and lives and dies A spring with colorless skies Why does time keep flowing indifferently when all else fades away? The blackness swallows me The blackness swallows everything! I’m drowning in selfishness I’m drowning in guilt and regret This is human weakness; clinging to our own delusions [Our truths are hollow. Our ideals are just thin air and mean nothing in the eyes of our Mother. And yet, like the stubborn creatures that we are, we refuse to let go] We refuse to let go…

about

GLARE & EVELYN is Death Follows' second official album. It is an album that combines many sub-genres of Heavy Metal. At its core, however, it is Extreme Metal.

I've been working on this album for over a year now. I consider it my best work yet. Glare and Evelyn are characters taken out of a fiction I'm working on.
