1. Intro [Instrumental] 2. To Forget Please fade away My stillborn dream Still you sink into me And still I breath Deeper and deeper from what I had of you If I only knew What was to come Would've ended it all Now it's just too much for me Everywhere I see you Scraping my skin I'm forever lost In my intoxicated me After everything is done I feel good letting go Maybe forgetting is easy But everything is too silent And the colors are all gone 3. This Is Where I Am My mistake was letting you know Sharing all that I had With someone I never knew In the end I'm hearing voices Of people thought long gone Once again I fear I'm losing control In the end Everything's inside Every disease I hide Bleeding and in pain Cold and tiredly giving in Come and burn with me Slit open my world of pain Sometimes at winters hour I feel quite dead Just like in the end 4. The Fall I see it's time again As the night's cold sneaks in the day And here we lay down In this purest white Impervious grey As summer lay dying Falling, falling And leaves us alone in this grey A silent season The falling year This coldest of feelings A sound that creeps over me The thirsty earth A fevered slumber Creeping over me Forever circle Forever it creeps over me As the year decays And I fall Again 5. While The World Sleeps Early morning rain An eternal sleepless 4 AM Waking up to silence Into a slow gray whatever Everything's blind In the sleep of the lonely In a quiet blue current That's slowly creeping Creeping Getting used to seeing Just trying to keep moving Is it really this cold in here? Or is it just me? 6. Futile Again I opened my day Again it seems so far Moving away Keeping me inside Trying to tell me There's nothing left of you Bury me inside of me What's left of me Let me be alone All alone Tell me That there's still something of something Which isn't here Never again Let me be alone All alone 7. Someone I (Don't) Know An empty word Falling from inside My empty head Inside I think Everything finally comes and goes And nothing leaves anymore falling deeper into someone else Falling deeper into someone I (don't) know One way or another I seem to have lost my place in this world I feel as if things around me Suddenly lost all meaning All relevance I don't know where I'm going anymore Wish someone could tell I must be blind or asleep All I think I see is no one 8. (About) Leaving Feeling lonely in a crowd Forever passing a thousand Nameless homes and lights I tried closing my eyes I hated my reflection Those bitter eyes And their thousand hates This life is slowly killing me Stealing me of every breath In the end I couldn't care All I know Is that I hurt Tearing me from my waking hours Is the sweet misery Of a dark day No matter how long this will last I know for sure that one day I will leave with a sad smile on my face Lyrics in plain text format	Line up Petri Eskelinen - vocals Tomi Ullgren - lead guitar Jarno Salovaara - rhythm and acoustic guitar Jani Öhman - bass Samu Ruotsalainen - drums Sami Karttunen - keyboards Artwork Info Recorded 4-15.10.99 at Walltone Studios, Savonlinna, Finland Engineered by Tuomo Valtonen Mixed and produced by Tuomo Valtonen & Rapture Mastered 18.10.99 at Finnvox Studios by Mika Jussila Review Mostly when I get to hear the debut cd of a new band I think "nice, but it's all done before much better" or "Maybe with some more practice and experience they'll get there", but every once in a while I get the pleasant surprise of a debutcd that immediately impresses me. "Futile" by Rapture is one of these gems. They play a melodic doom death a bit in the vein of old Katatonia / Opeth, but definitely have their own sound. The compositions and atmosphere on the album is amazing, with a sadness that appeals a lot to a doom metal fanatic like me. So another band I can add to my list of all-time favourites.
