Come inside, settle down Let me pour you a drink Nevermind what's allowed, just do what you think I'll release you from the pain Just one more drink Don#t believe in all the lies Your mind can hear it Your soul can feel it Your eyes can see it Your heart will feel it All your life you've been mislead Don't miss the pain Don't miss the dread Just take the time again Learn a life you left alone It's in your heart It's in your soul Your mind can feel it Your eyes will see it Your heart will beat it Their blood will bleed it It's time to let the show begin Take your seats enjoy the ride It's time for letting go Forget all that you know Come with us and free your mind Your mind can feel it Your eyes will see it Your heart will beat it Their blood will bleed it It's time to let the show begin Take your seats enjoy the ride It's time for letting go Forget all that you know Come with us and free your mind

Lies Fear Death Returns again Leaving before you I'm told Is the truth so I'll see before you I'm born again with a soul as black as night from below Lies Fear Death It's on again See me for who I am now I've reached for who I was then No more will I have asked for forgiveness from a mortal soul as black as night as dark as coal There must be a way It seems I'm out of my head Lost in my mind I'm blind I'm far away I'm far away Nothing I see ends well Knocked down by time Knocked down by life Facing the end of the road Time to leave the old past lost No matter what the cost and realize you'll return again Return Again Return again Lies Fear Death Returns again Lost memories, they seem to hide inside me trapped inside this hell now take it and leave it behind Born again with a soul as black as night from below There must be a way It seems I'm out of my head Lost in my mind I'm blind I'm far away I'm far away Nothing I see ends well!

The Infamous 04:41
As she falls deep within the dream nothing heals what saves Feel the wind blowing through the door You return nevermore... I feel your cold and chilling brace With this fear I can't replace It's in the wind It's on in the air I can only live inside this world and stare and I feel the pain, and I feel the pain I'm all alone in the darkness I'm all alone in the darkness I'm all alone in the darkness Waiting here for you I'm all alone in the darkness I'm all alone in the darkness I'm all alone in the darkness Waiting here for you In a word broken is the day nothing more left to say Rise above Reach beyond the sky Don't look back say goodbye I feel the cold and chilling brace With this fear I can't replace It's in the wind It's on in the air I can only sit inside this world and stare and I feel the pain and I feel the pain I'm all alone in the darkness I'm all alone in the darkness I'm all alone in the darkness Waiting here for you I'm all alone in the darkness I'm all alone in the darkness I'm all alone in the darkness Waiting here for you I'm alone

I wait for the healing sun the drowning forgotten ones crawl to the surface now a promise I lay bound I'll see you next time around beyond the falling down the falling down Beautiful I'll run from the light Beautiful twisted delight Beautiful I'll make things right Beautiful I'll run from the light I wait for the healing sun the drowning forgotten ones crawl to the surface now a promise I lay bound I will wait for you and you have been true all this time Beautiful I'll run from the light Beautiful twisted delight Beautiful I'll make things right Beautiful I'll run from the light Dark Skies I see a full moon in the sky Dark Skies come with me just take my hand we'll find a way and understand this life for you it's wrong We walk into the dark skies Dark Skies another soul I will despise. Dark Skies I see a devil in the sky Dark skies come with me just take my hand we'll find a way and understand this life for you It's wrong

Finding Home 04:42
Black raven night leaves to take flight Stop twisting wings take control Been plagued by your games held down by the same raven it's time to let go Been holding at bay my thoughts in dismay Tied to a lifeless same I stand for a course adventure now lost raven take flight are you game When we both tried it we took vows and tied it Led to believe it would stay Futures not past time doesn't last New doorways open the same Hold on to your soul Hold on to your mind With all of this death in the air there isn't much time Hold on to your soul Hold on to your mind With all of this death in the air there isn't much time We fell down below Evil is in my way Calling out your name Sad distant future a lonely display Been holding at bay my thoughts in dismay Tied to a lifeless same I stand for a course adventure now lost raven take flight are you game When we both tried it we took vows and tied it Led to believe it would stay Futures not past time doesn't last New doorways open the same Hold on to your soul Hold on to your mind With all of this death in the air there isn't much time Hold on to your soul Hold on to your mind With all of this death in the air there isn't much time

Took a walk on a cold winters night. Something here just didn't seem right. When we were young we fell in love with this place Lately I'v'e been faced with the memory of hate Till my heart grows old Till my soul grows old If this is the end can we defend? If this is the end of it all Frozen time on the day that we died It could've been that it never was really right Till my heart grows old Till my soul grows old If this is the end can we defend? If this is the end of it all It's fading the time that we shared While stating we did not care It's fading the life that we shared The waiting I was prepared for the end For the end

Future I See 06:47
Hiding from the truth is that's left to do Fighting for your life there is no compromise Planted demon seed they stole you from your dreams A hunger so strong I can taste it but you already know I can't believe that I wasted all these years With the thought of now or never no longer am I with you I flow with the welling water Eyes open but I can't see I flow with the welling water Minds at ease to the future I see Broke in the darkness we drank in Behind the lies Lived life in the blackness we fell in Tried to compromise Both drank from the demon that saved us but now I must fly I flow with the welling water Eyes open but I can't see I flow with the welling water Minds at ease to the future I see Reach up to the sky We lose all control Don't ask me why I'll never let go Bring me the past Make it last Hiding from the truth it's all that's left to do Fighting for your life there is no compromise Planted demon seed they stole you from your dreams Living out the lie Hear me demon cry How long can we live in this nightmare? Dreams that we held so close Can we be there? Meet in the end? Open eyes open mind Open eyes open mind Open eyes open mind Open mind In the end we find a future unkind to live this world and face another day. Open eyes open mind Open eyes open mind Open eyes open mind Open eyes Here's to the future an unknown source of evil we came to far to turn around A burned out solom coal A blacked out empty hole Darkness decay is all we find Empty mind empty souls. Empty mind empty souls I'll meet you on the other side of time...

Hellbound 05:30
If the path that you have chosen follows into shadows of your deepest depair Screaming out I have been cheated while your sitting in the devils lair When the faces all around this inferno start to melt into your deeest desire look for the headstones in thier eyes then you'll see there soul is on fire Hellbound is where we all will see what seeds we have sown If heaven truly lies above it's a place we'll never know If the priest he falls before his own maker and as the jester does his tricks for the king all of your moves are cordial A puppet lying dead on a string Hellbound is where we all will see what seeds we have sown If heaven truly lies above it's a place we'll never know

From Below 06:15
Feel the fire from below that were all your sorrow goes witchery is all you know All your life is past you by now you know it's time to die still you here the children cry Never see the sun again time is not a go my friend have no fear it's not the end Hell awaits for those who know In your blood the river flows were your going no one knows Iv'e been the devil in you for so long it's true Iv'e been called to you before the birth of your soul Feel the fire burn Tempted to try and learn the knowledge that comes from within and turning your back on sin Feel the fire from below that were all your sorrow goes witchery is all you know All your life is past you by now you know it's time to die still you here the children cry Never see the sun again time is not a go my friend have no fear it's not the end Hell awaits for those who know In your blood the river flows were your going no one knows Iv'e been the devil in you for so long it's true Iv'e been called to you before the birth of your soul Feel the fire burn Tempted to try and learn the knowledge that comes from within and turning your back on sin Now you've seen everything that's coming for you In the end nothing matters but what is true if you try you will see now what you must do Far away

She came to me by the old window Her beauty never ceased to amaze Once lost forgotten love lasts a lifetime Her soul forever trapped in this haze Some hearts are fallen Two lives were hoping to be free Two lives now broken One life now lost and one is free The edge of dawn approaches can feel her Her ghostly face now starts to fade The secrets she's now shared with me forgotten Lost in the mist and shrouded in the haze I came to you in mourning I realize the chances that I had have gone away Once in the heart a gold plated knife took me from the only love I ever thought Id find Lost in time a memory that you can't find A love that's mine still alive in you In the dark I pray and stand above this lonely grave I feel you everywhere I know your there why can't you feel me Some hearts are fallen Two lives were hoping to be free Two lives now broken One life now lost and one is free As the curtain closes As the curtain closes We hope for more time We hope for more time As the curtain closes As the curtain closes Sunrise right on time The sunrise right on time Well all is well when you dwell right here in hell I've taken my life and possessed you you cannot fight it here Send it back to your loved one so he can feel I've taken a right turned it wrong now so he can see you Possessed by the spirit of all you were As the curtain closes As the curtain closes We hope for more time We hope for more time As the curtain closes As the curtain closes Sunrise right on time The sunrise right on time

about

New York's THE NIGHTMARE STAGE are new to the Pure Steel catalog, but already released an independent debut album called "Free Admission For The Damned" in 2010.

"When The Curtain Closes" is the second work of the US-Americans, who inspire with a successful mix of Progressive and US Metal. Rich keyboard parts meet sophisticated guitar riffs and the distinctive voice of ex-Inner Strength vocalist Scott Oliva. THE NIGHTMARE STAGE, built up from the ashes of Immortally Committed, also present theatrical prog elements as well as simply-straight Metal riffs. The bombastic production also makes fans of the middle Queensryche phase, Fates Warning (Ray Alder era) and early Dream Theater listen up.

A real US/Prog masterpiece for every lover of the genre!
