About Reflections Of The Past:

Reflections Of The Past is a song by Vampyrouss initially recorded for a 2 track single of the same name in 2006. Unusually the music was written by Azrael and the rest of the band in rehearsal sessions. The very same recording of the song appeared on the 2006 compilation demo "Chapter One".


A completely new recording appeared on the bands 2009 debut album "A Dark Desire" which featured a lot more orchestration. After the release of the album the band recorded a brand new shorter "single edit" version of the song which featured the full 7 piece lineup of Vampyrouss at that time. This was released in 2010 and would be the last recording from that line up of the band, somewhat an end of an era.


The version of the song that featured on the 10 year anniversary version of the album in 2019 "A Dark Desire: A Decade Darker Edition" bore more similarities to the 2010 single edit version but remained longer as with the 2009 version. It also brought back a synth sample from the intro of the very original 2006 edition of the song. Reflections Of The Past then appeared along with the whole Vampyrouss back catalogue on the "Barely (A)Live Rehearsal" release in 2021.

Spectral shadows shift

About the dying land below

Flowing fabrications from

Forty thousand thoughts ago


Creations crawling constantly

Across credence's court

Melding more with time

My murky mind meanders on


Blissfully beyond the border

Beckoned by bestial fiends

Watchful over a world where once

We would sate our needs


The dreams they seem to twist and weave

Together tethered thoughts

From lust to dusk, to harvest moons

And an Angel midst a storm


Reflections of the past

Illuminated by the stars

Distorted by the ripples

And ever destined for the dark


Reckless and enraged

The intricate path we paved

Disregarded like wilted flowers

Left to rot upon a grave


The long days and lonely nights

Waiting for seas to part

And lead the way through misty veils

To rest within Your arms


The longing and the throbbing pulse

Revives this sunken heart

And bleeds the red and impassioned blood

That keeps us tied as one


Passing time with those once pined

Proving even pure passion pales

When greeted with the graceful gait

Of Gorgeous, Love untamed


Heaving from Her Heaven’s scent

My hastening heartbeat

Yearns to sink twin puncture wound

Deep into Her throat


But plagued by these troubled dreams

The light begins to wane

The antithesis of my crisis

As these nightmares never end


Deeper do they delve

With their deviant Devil dance

With songs for Steel and Samhain feast

And tales of an epic romance
