Black Sites - 'Giving Up The Ghost' (official audio)

Bastards, your promise nowhere to be found
Liars, your heaven so far underground

And in this momentary weakness,
I break downAnd in this momentary weakness,
Tell me could anyone believe this
I break down
I’m giving up the ghost
No longer holding on to hope,
We might get out alive
I’ve given up the ghost
No longer holding on to hope,
No one gets out alive

True evil lives this very night
Tyrants unpunished in this life
Countless tomorrows that I grieve
Sometimes I wish, that I could still believe

And in this momentary weakness,
I break down
And in this momentary weakness,
Tell me could anyone believe this
I break down

I’m giving up the ghost
No longer holding on to hope,
We might get out alive
I’ve given up the ghost
No longer holding on to hope,
No one gets out alive

Those who claim of saving souls
With arms outstretched, receiving gold
And empty words for those they hurt the most

So if you think you’ve seen the light
Then do what gets you through the night
But as for me, I’ve given up the ghost

Για τους Black Sites έχουμε (ως Metal Daze) εκφραστεί πολλάκις με άκρως θετικό τρόπο. Εξαιρετικό συγκρότημα κλασικού (κατά βάση) heavy metal (με progressive πινελιές) με τέσσερις "ολοκληρωμένους" δίσκους ("In Monochrome" 2017, "Exile" 2019, "Untrue" 2021, "The Promised Land?" 2024).

Ο πέμπτος δίσκος τους βρίσκεται προ των πυλών. Φέρει τον τίτλο "For Eternity", αποτελείται από οκτώ τραγούδια και αναμένεται στην "καρδιά" του καλοκαιριού. Πέρυσι (το 2025) ο Mark Sugar άλλαξε όλα τα μέλη του συγκροτήματος (πλην του εαυτού του προφανώς).
