Between Sixes and Sevens

by Dark Beauty

Professor P-Soop Their timeless theatrical quality coupled with a modern progressive rock mastery makes Dark Beauty a truly compelling act. The lovely operatic vocals of Liz Tapia are countered perfectly by the undeniably tough but high-minded rock ensemble behind her. Bryan and Katie blaze brilliantly as always and Clive Smith, wow! Such a poetic bass arranger/player. Another knockout record from Joisey's prog masters, Dark Beauty
Bob Prigmore

Bob Prigmore My first hearing of the debut album Fall From Grace was due to a since very much appreciated recommendation of Lazleitt's, Alex Lazcano. An engaging listen of a fascinating tale, beautifully sung and played. Qualities very much repeated in Between Sixes and Sevens resulting in an uplifting of the 'spirit'! I highly recommend both albums! Favorite track: War of an Angel.

Demon 05:16
Demon bring me closer desire me within I float into your darkness embracing all your sins A trance for which I entered when you summoned me above So wrap your cloak around me Shadow I surrender my everlasting light Unmask your veil of darkness upon this resting sight Cast your spell upon me for which I will endure And lay your crown upon me Demon bring me closer creature of allure And take me in your darkness for I am not so pure Unleash yourself upon me for I am not afraid And take me on your journey Oh creature of the night What have I become Your trance bestowed upon me Forever I am numb Release your grip upon my soul And send me to the clouds

You bring me down I believed in all your lies I’m running away your secrets binding It keeps me underneath your spell I’m finding it hard to face the truth When there’s no way out I told myself to believe in your lies At the lowest moment of my life You’re taking me down but it won’t last forever Drowning away Why did you have to pull me under Made me believe in your lies Take me away Break me of this spell I’m under Going insane let me out I’m broken and scared with every breath that lingers It keeps me underneath your spell It’s holding me down with thoughts of anger When there’s no way out I told myself to believe in your lies At the lowest moment of my life You’re taking me down but it won’t last forever Drowning away Why did you have to pull me under Make me believe in your lies Take me away Break me of this spell I’m under Going insane let me out Running away and you’ll never find me Cause you’ve gone insane Fixed on the truth but you never told me It’s time to get out It’s time to get out It’s time to get out It’s time to get out It’s time to get out It’s time to get out You bring me down I believed in all your lies A breath that lingers It takes me away

Inside my mind I can feel your touch Underneath the nightly sky when I’m down in this place With no heaven in sight guardian angel come my way Cause in your arms I’m not a shadow Underneath my darkened night Fallen down, fallen down Let the heavens be in sight My wings of the night have abandoned me Broken angel I am and I’m wasting away Lift my wings up to the skies Can’t you hear me call your name Cause in your arms I’m not a shadow Underneath my darkened night Fallen down, fallen down Let the heavens be in sight Cause in my heart I’ve been forsaken Underneath my darkened night Fallen down, fallen angel Won’t you bring me to the light Oh hear me guardian angel I’m down on my knees And begging your forgiveness won’t you hear my cries Please bring me to salvation and guide me along the way I’m lonely and forsaken and I have lost my way Cause in your arms I’m not a shadow Underneath my darkened night Fallen down, fallen down Let the heavens be in sight Cause in my heart I’ve been forsaken Underneath my darkened night Fallen down, fallen angel

Rabbit Hole 04:58
Every time I look around the walls are closing in on me This feeling that I get I’m trapped inside Abandoned and seduced I was your cleverness it captured me A fool I was betrayed down deep inside So I close my eyes to escape the pain That’s buried deep inside I cannot hide I wanna run away from this plague of time This empty feeling I get is trapped inside When I look into your eyes this haunted feeling that I get Deception at its best left deep inside me I still embraced your masquerade the infectious way it captured me A fool I was betrayed down deep inside So I close my eyes to escape the pain That’s buried deep inside I cannot hide I wanna run away from this plague of time This empty feeling I get is trapped inside Your soul unguarded I’m buried deep inside A pain surreal you cannot feel anymore then you can hide You weep to cease my plague of time your stain left on my soul Illusion your insanity fall down my rabbit hole I feel you deep inside my soul Your insanity I lose control

Hear me angels of the night Take my wings rid me of darkness I beg to see the light Escape the battles of my reign In a place so unforgiving In a world bearing so much pain And my soul forever dying In a world of pure disdain My wing completely broken I stand alone pondering my fall From a place that I once knew and far away from Everything I ought to be wicked angels by my side Let me see the light I beg to see the light Deceit and lies I was betrayed You brought my wings into your darkness Now a demon by my side Coercing battles on my reign In a place so unforgiving In a world bearing so much pain And my soul forever dying From this world of pure disdain My heart completely shattered I stand alone pondering my fall From a place that I once knew and far away from Everything I ought to be wicked angels by my side Let me see the light I beg to see the light
6.
In a time and place a silent remorse A fog so dense remains its course Enchanted souls of a world we once knew Now a lifeless earth in our view A disguise at every turn Begging to see the living Only to feel the presence Of the world we recognized Where is the place that I once knew Living mortals of such delight Haunting echoes fill the air Mortiferous souls in much despair Only to find the world at best is dead Appearing from eternal rest Seeking to find the living Only to find the world at best is dead Eternal rest will never see the light The earth is dead Unfolding before me the terrain is dead A chilling discovery fills the air Souls have fallen and the angels we once knew A mournful scene to my despair A disguise at every turn Begging to see the living Only to feel the presence Of the world we all recognized Where is the place that I once knew Living mortals of such delight Haunting echoes fill the air Mortiferous souls in much despair Only to find the world at best is dead Appearing from eternal rest Seeking to find the living Only to find the world at best is dead Is dead Eternal rest will never see the light The earth is dead

about

Having fallen from grace, the Dark Angel has isolated herself in the Tower of Markhum and is hidden from the light. When sinister forces attempt to lure her into permanent darkness, she cries out for help. As she attempts to break away to freedom, an epic battle is fought for her soul. Afterwards, even the Dark Angel is not sure what remains…

about

Dark Beauty Portsmouth, New Hampshire

While the band fits comfortably within the progressive rock world, elements of pop, dance, opera and heavy classic rock are all part of the mix. The songs are complex and rich, with a focus on memorable melodies, story-based lyrics, lean orchestrated instrumental sections, and more expansive opportunities for the individual musicians to shine. ... more
