Sælzer Bub Sabrina Stoakes’ voice is outstanding - very emotional. The music is melodic & progressive (the piano on Lost at Sea is beautiful). The riffs are heavy and the lyrics are profound.
Highly recommended.
I hope more people will find the way to this Artist.

warchrist30 There is so much to praise here. I don't know where to start. Composition and arrangements are incredible. Talent and skill of instruments, fantastic. And those vocals, oh my. I'd need two weeks and a thesaurus of positive adjectives to properly express how much I love this. Or you can check it out yourself! Favorite track: William.

Lost at Sea 05:46
Lost in a sea of shame You cannot see yourself Betrayed by the waves Lost in this wretched storm You cannot stop the pain You cannot stop the rain The waves come crashing over me Lost in the sea, lost in the shame Forever is pain When standards are so high, living life is to die The waves come crashing over me Lost in the sea, lost in the shame Forever is pain I can’t look at myself, to suffer, to survive The waves come crashing over me Lost in the sea, lost in the shame Forever is pain When standards are so high, living life is to die The waves come crashing over me Lost in the sea, lost in the shame Forever is pain I can’t look at myself, to suffer, to survive The waves come crashing over me Lost in the sea, lost in the shame Forever is pain When standards are so high, living life is to die The waves come crashing over me Lost in the sea, lost in the shame Forever is pain I can’t look at myself, to suffer, to survive

Dreaming softly where you belong I haven’t found that place and I know that I never will Crying softly The price I paid I paid it all for love Now I lay in this bed of dreams Dream forever, Dream so loud Dream forever, Because life never sleeps I know you’ve never been up all night, living with the pain that binds you down I can always return to that place, but there’s nobody there this time My dreams are a window into a grave where I reside Just ghosts from the mind, and they won’t hurt you this time, but you might hurt yourself, coming home tonight Dreaming softly where you belong I haven’t found that place and I know that I never will Crying softly The price I paid I paid it all for love Now I lay in this bed of dreams Dream forever, Dream so loud Dream forever, Because life never sleeps I know you’ve never been up all night, living with the pain that binds you down I can always return to that place, but there’s nobody there this time My dreams are a window into a grave where I reside Just ghosts from the mind, and they won’t hurt you this time, but you might hurt yourself, coming home tonight

Words Haunt me in my sleep Memories Forever on repeat Haunted by the things I’ve seen These ghosts are starring at me You’re not an Angel And you’re not so kind Well this life it’s not made out of gold When we’re old, our life’s sold, the lies you told. The one’s around you will make you so cold November, It’s so cold, you’re so cold. Words Empty out my lungs Memories The ones you threw away I hope the lies were worth it now Now that you’re living with what you’ve done You’re not an Angel And you’re not so kind Well this life it’s not made out of gold When we’re old, our life’s sold, the lies you told. The one’s around you will make you so cold November, It’s so cold, you’re so cold. And when you find a way to face yourself I’ll forgive, I’ll forget. But you won’t hurt me like this again No more hate, no more pain, your lies in vain.

Reaching into the stars We took from the night An endless sea of darkness An endless sea of dreams Unending light Fire to blind us all Creatures of night Have come to take our souls Unending light Fire to blind us all Creatures of night Have come to take all our souls Unending light Fire to blind us all Creatures of night Have come to take our souls Unending light Fire to blind us all Creatures of night Have come to take all our souls Unholy nightmares Promises of eternity Hunter of demons Angels of clarity Unholy nightmares Promises of eternity Hunter of demons Angels of clarity Unholy slaves who bare the mark of the beast Demons fear the hunter's blade Unholy slaves who bare the mark of the beast Demons fear the hunter's blade

Morning star Rising in Heaven Beauty and wisdom Consumed now by pride Lusting eyes Seeking the throne Greedy perfection With Earth will collide Primal sin Wrath inside Apathy Born of Light First to fall Touched by envy On wings that defy Unable to kneel The free will That you always craved An appetite You could not conceal Primal sin Wrath inside Primal sin Born of Light Accuser Betrayer of God Accuser Betrayer Accuser Betrayer of God

Your eyes Deceivers with no heart Your lies That tore my life apart Reasons They are not what you’re looking for Your hate Your need to feed yourself with more In a cold world Left alone Silence broken Dreams denied On this ever-rising mountain Streetlights flicker In the night Beacons over the forgotten No respect Lost compassion Drowning in sick prejudice Not a battle But a war Forced upon all the forgotten Hands tied Everyone against me Inside Starting to detest me To fall Caged in society’s trap To claw Fight and find my way back Invisible brand On my skin Silence broken Dreams denied On this ever-rising mountain Streetlights flicker In the night Beacons over the forgotten No respect Lost compassion Drowning in sick prejudice Not a battle But a war Forced upon all the forgotten

Sick of pretending it’s fine Sick of no peace in this world It’s like they don’t care at all It’s like they don’t know I live I live I breathe I love I cry Before you know it I will die Betrayer of life Betrayer of self Endless massacre Endless suffering You can’t get better When the world is falling apart You can’t get better When the ones around you hate Come clean, come clean Wash away your fears my dear Come clean, come clean It will all be over soon You can’t get better When the world is falling apart You can’t get better When the ones around you hate Come clean, come clean Wash away your fears my dear Come clean, come clean It will all be over soon From the ones who want me dead To the ones who call me friend It’s like they don’t care at all It’s like they don’t know I live I live I breathe I love I cry Before you know it, I will die Betrayer of life Betrayer of self Endless massacre Endless suffering You can’t get better When the world is falling apart You can’t get better When the ones around you hate Come clean, come clean Wash away your fears my dear Come clean, come clean It will all be over soon You can’t get better When the world is falling apart You can’t get better When the ones around you hate Come clean, come clean Wash away your fears my dear Come clean, come clean It will all be over soon

Stone by stone I create What I don’t understand Nothing ever ends the wait Ashes falling from my hand Do you know? Who I am? I don’t know Who I am Should I give away control Do you know? What I am? I don’t know What I am Should I give away control? Keep my mind or let it go Should I give away control? Keep my mind or let it go I am a cage in search of a bird One I can’t find in this world To live and to learn, to halt and to die Better to yearn, let the soul cry I am a cage in search of a bird One I can’t find in this world To live or to halt, let it run dry Until we watch the songbird die Day by day I succumb To what I cannot explain Slowly fading, feeling numb Is it all in vain? Do you know? Who I am? I don’t know Who I am Should I give away control Do you know? What I am? I don’t know What I am Should I give away control? Keep my mind or let it go Should I give away control? I am a cage in search of a bird One I can’t find in this world To live and to learn, to halt and to die Better to yearn, let the soul cry I am a cage in search of a bird One I can’t find in this world To live or to halt, let it run dry Until we watch the songbird die I am a bird Singing so softly In this old cage I am singing my song of death Spread your wings Let them see all your splendor Burn your fears Let them hear the bird singing The silence owns me It screams with me It won’t let me fly This darkness holds me It keeps me in its cage It won’t let me go

Pouring rain on flames burning high Giving way to the smoke that will rise In the end, only ashes remain As the world you knew slowly fades away Letting go From the pain When the low Puts a strain Letting go From your pain And your song Will never play I saw you fight as clear as the dawn But clouds loomed so quiet Watching as your hope carried on When you chose to deny it Letting go From the pain When the low Puts a strain Letting go From your pain And your song Will never play The lines we drew In stormy times Plans that flew Deep from our minds Deep from inside Unfair lives Before our eyes Forcing us all To say goodbye It brings us closer Only to see All the longing We still feel Promises We have made No intent For them to break Our feelings sound Through melodies But fate left it all To memories Letting go From the pain When the low Puts a strain Letting go From your pain I’ll make sure Your song will play

about

Death of a Songbird is about hurting yourself, it's about not being able to see the beauty in yourself, it's about giving up on life and returning to dust... all things that I deeply felt while working on this album... and with full intentions to have made this my final album, the result was an album that is full of extremely passionate pain.

Thank you very much to the few people who keep track of my music, you don't know how much it means to me that all the hard work is appreciated.
