► LYRICS:
My silent tears, falling down
The river I follow guides me
In the shadows of my doubts
A fire I can’t ignite
It doesn’t feel right
I am still paralysed
By the sound of your screams
When I see you in my dreams
Chorus
You’re away too far away
You’ve been gone so long
But the echoes of your name remain
Until this day where you belong
Through the gates of time
I’ll keep your memory alive
Away too far away
But I still wait
For your lost soul to come back to me
A piece of blade planted in my heart
All these years, I still bleed somehow
In the ocean of my cries
The oxygen I find
And one day somehow
It starts to fade out
Even though I believe
I still call your name, I call your name in my dreams
In the shadow of a doubt
A tear drop in my eye
I am longing for a another sunrise
with you by my side

We are beyond proud to present to you the very first song we’ve ever written together as a band! We started this journey with covers of famous songs from movies, series, and video games but soon we realized that writing our own stories and melodies was a must. Four creative minds with so many ideas to share - „The Gates Of Time“ is just the beginning!

[@VampiZockt]

That song was more than just great! Hope y'all create more bangers like this!

[@Sindrom75]

Starting is always difficult and responsible. But you have a huge potential, and you will succeed, the main thing is to find YOUR gates of time!

[@Werewolf914]

Today is my birthday and a new Dark Side Of The Moon song gets dropped along with the first Avenged Sevenfold song since 2017 the day is off to a great start I couldn't ask for more

[@ficrispin]

I am so eager to see all your gorgeous and creative ideas come together! It'll be magic ✨✨

[@nilshult5115]

okay, let's be real, Melissa Bonny is a really talented singer, i like her voice a lot, but having Thor on drums, a Bloodborne hunter on guitar and Amy Adams' Lois Lane on harp is beyond cheating 🙈 love this band ❤ keep up the good work 😊

[@draagnipur8767]

Always nice to see Melissa unleashing all her magical spells, and what a kickass song!

This song is so good, I haven't stopped replaying it over the last few days, the chorus in particular is so strong, catchy, great lyrics, etc.

[@timp1051]

Just came across this video. Honestly never heard of the band before. This song is fantastic!!!! Great job!!!! Can't wait to hear more. If you listen to a band on line, be sure to purchase their CDs. Bands put alot of work into their music and deserve to compensated for it.

[@gwilhermwayne8691]

MelissaBonny is so beautiful and full of talent, love her voice

[@wtflegendary]

What a great song! You really never cease to impress 🔥I just love how every single band member always gets to shine and show their incredible talent. Can't wait to see you perform all these songs live 🤘

[@Gareskog]

Yeah, I fully agree! They're making room for each others talents while still making the songs cohesive and fun!

[@fredbarnes2600]

Simply wonderful, all involved! But I would like to say Jenny's work on the harp here is exceptional. It really elevates the song from great to amazing!

O yes its good to see some female singer back in the game with fast drums guitars 🎸 bass vocals 👌 really strong 💪 that is what the world needs more rock and metal music 🎶 out there in a lot of city's and countries 💖

[@adamnichol6761]

I adore the "home" bands of each of the members, but DSotM is something truly special; love it

[@jamie000]

Need way more of this. Playing is tight, vocals on point, and heavy where it needs it.

[@jimmycassell140]

If this is your first song, can't wait for the rest! Love the eclectic incorporation of the harp. Killer outfits and location. Rock on!!!!

[@ronengel8287]

She is an amazing vocalist she sung for rage of light this van that she's with doing this video and add infinium every song I've ever heard her do is just awesome

[@SuzanneVictoria42]

I love everything about this. The vocals and visuals are stunning. As a drummer, I thought the drums were sick. The harp is beautiful. And of course, Hans is always my favourite! Great stuff guys. Can't wait to get a copy of the album in May.

[@gilik1975]

the guitar player is a god

[@Ghostverse1]

Very seldom do I have to listen to a song 5 times in a row when I first hear it. Hans and company are rocking some powerful themes in this song. I love the way the song kind of plays a tug-of-war with your emotions. Easy to get swept away. One of the best drummers in metal. Guitar and harp play off each other creating their own magic. And lastly the singer, I haven't heard all the voices in the world, but I'm sure hers is one of the very best.

[@johncastle2970]

@TheDarkSideOfTheMoonOfficial I've got a 3 year old harpist with a penchant for metal who's going to love this. Exactly what I was looking for. Glad I found you guys.

Did you get to drink lots of medicine on the weekend 🍺😜 Are you still able to look after your cows ok? 🐄 Not too much else happening here.

When it comes to painting I can´t even make a stick man look believeble so I would need a very talanted AI😂 Other than that not much going on, spring is slowly coming and the sowing season is about a month away.

[@RaoulKunz1]

Just have to say: We all know Melissa and Hans are master of their field, Melissa of two clearly (singing and super powerful performances, though Hans clearly wins in "hats", always important to me^^) and Morten's drumming is as on point as ever. But what really surprised me in all the DSotM releases so far is *just how good* Jenny´s harp both harmonizes and complements the other more "metal" performances. As a long time folk metal listener this should not have surprised me but it kind of does... and I love it! Looking forward to the album! Beast regards Raoul G. Kunz

@@angel.19900 that’s just being prolific. And being prolific is not synonymous with being the best. It just makes you busy. Also, since you mentioned it’s your opinion she’s the best, I can’t argue with that. No one can say your subjective opinion is wrong. However, you originally made it seem like it was factual and the truth is, she isn’t the best in cleans or growls. Finally, I truly hope that people stop with the “hot” and “beautiful” comments. It really cheapens the person and makes it seem like if this girl was ugly, she wouldn’t be nearly as popular. Although, I’m positive that’s exactly her case 🤷‍♂️
