Dark Wave or darkwave is a music genre that began in the late 1970s, coinciding with the popularity of New Wave and post-punk. Building on those basic principles, dark wave added dark, introspective lyrics and an undertone of sorrow for some bands. In the 1980s, a subculture developed alongside dark wave music, whose members were called "wavers" or "dark wavers".

To welcome a new day not worth of saving to fall down on own imprudent acts the wind answers quietly clears the black smoke far thick to see Unfolds the true nature of man "And this fire it burns consuming us all withered garden for posterity inheritance in flames" "When the mankind moves rest of the life shakes all once green turned into stone flesh into dust and soil where the last wave broke the shores blazed red and place once called home turned into hall of dead" How does it feel ?
