Diamond Black – Dark Anthems (Official Video)
“If you’ve lost your way, let Dark Anthems guide you.”
DARK ANTHEMS is Diamond Black’s heartfelt tribute to the music that shaped them, weaving together song titles from iconic artists—The Cure, Nine Inch Nails, Manic Street Preachers, AFI and more—into a hauntingly poetic narrative. “At its heart, Dark Anthems is an ode to the songs that have guided so many of us through our darkest moments.” - Ben Christo
"A chorus dressed in the finest melody. I really like this" - CJ, The Wildhearts
“Killer track!” – Chris Aiken, Strung Out
“Yes, there’s direct reference to 'Idiot Stare,' but the very DNA of the song has the same intensity. So cool!" – Iain Baker, Jesus Jones

LYRICS
I followed a star called bitterness,
To recite the misery index,
One more step from despair to where?
Under blood red skies,
I’m still caught in an idiot stare:
A terrible lie.
When we lost our way,
Your darkness would guide us,
Lost our way,
Your darkness defined us,
So bind us now.
Somewhere in a cold day memory,
The sorrow sings,
Strung out and I’m too close to see,
As I die laughing.
I’m taking a stand at the waterfront,
Drift into Dreamtime,
A promise as bright as a thousand suns,
On through this night.
Everlone,
Horror head,
Long live the emptiness
Time stand still
Pray for rain,
With 13 ways to bleed the pain,
I’ll dream in coma white,
As daylight dies.
If you've lost your way,
Let dark anthems guide you,
Lost your way,
Your darkness anthems find you.
