- | LYRICS |-
Hush child
Open your eyes
You are not alone
We are your dark ones
Holding you close
Come dance with us
Dance in the darkness
We've been waiting for you
That world doesn't want you
Like we do
We see you
For in the night
Fire shines bright
Come dance with us
Dance in the darkness
Oh how we've been waiting for you
Why fight the night
When the night is endless?
Why cling to the light
When the light always diminishes?
Come dance in the dark
And you will be fearless
Let the dark kill the love in your heart
Till your heart is painless
Come let's leave this world behind
Dance with the dark ones in your mind
Come let's leave them all behind
Dance with the dark ones
Dance with the dark ones
Hush child
Open your eyes
You are not alone
We are your dark ones
Holding you close
Come dance with us
Dance in the darkness
We've been waiting for you
That world doesn't want you
Like we do
We see you
For in the night
Fire shines bright
Come dance with us
Dance in the darkness
Oh how we've been waiting for you
Why fight the night
When the night is endless?
Why cling to the light
When the light always diminishes?
Come dance in the dark
And you will be fearless
Let the dark kill the love in your heart
Till your heart is painless
Why fight the night
When the night is endless?
Why cling to the light
When the light always diminishes?
Come dance in the dark
And you will be fearless
Let the dark kill the love in your heart
Till your heart is painless
![Isabella's Lullaby (vocal and mandolin ver.) [extended]](/img/n.gif)
"that world doesn't want you like we do"..
That line did something to me.
masikhonzane ntipha No Joke.
For real
I love everything about this song. The incredibly powerful, dark piano combined with Roxane's cello, but especially the inspired lyrics. Particularly the repeated chorus
"Why fight the Night when the Night is endless?
Why cling to the light when the light always diminishes?
Come dance in the dark and you will be fearless
Let the dark kill the love in the heart till your heart is painless
"
quarantine is hitting karliene hard i see
Mm-hmm...
Haven't we all felt this way at times?
@@chriswhite2151 I'm loving it, its given my plenty of time to exercise on my own, study ancient history and learn a language ( hopefully by the time this is over maybe 2 languages or 3). Not to mention read a load of new books. And catch up on some TV shows and movies. I do miss kayaking and running on mountains. But the way I see it I have something to look forward to when this is all over.
It's bothering. Most outstanding artists are very empathic, sensitive and very often bipolar or a little crazy. Many transform their pain into art and go through near manic phases of productivity, followed by lethargy and self-doubt etc. Some of the artists I really enjoy on YT made their depression or body dismorphia etc. public and I happened to talk to two artists who admitted depression as being a part of them.
@@edi9892 fortunately for my I got used to being stuck in as I have crohn's disease and had 5 operations in the last 7 years due to it. 2 to save my life. I have an ostomy bag which has given me my life back. I will say depression was a massive battle for me even more so than the physical as I watched all my friends get on with their lives and seemed to forget about me. I have my life back now and I believe I am a much stronger person and I am more understanding of people who suffer. Anyway stay safe and best wishes from Ireland
When you finally cuddle with your demons instead of fighting them
Brook Jewell Me and my demons do things to each other that are illegal in 25 states......
@@winkleried 🙄🙄.......ummmhh like 💏
@@winkleried My demons will get me killed if I ever let them out. I'm hoping it never slips.
@@KanedaSyndrome I know the feeling
Yep. That would be how I handle my ODD and Bipolar. XD (But for real, by embracing certain parts of my mental illness, I have found it easier to control the other parts... Now I sound weird. Imma shut up. lol.)
The dark isn't something to fear. Its all embracing and comforting and the one thing always there waiting for you in the end so you can rest soundly.
I guess that's why I'm trying to not be so afraid of Death these days. I know that Death is going to come for me and everyone else I know and love eventually, inevitably, so I think and like to think of this song as my own interpretation of me trying to see Death _not_ as an enemy or something to be feared, but I'm trying to think of Death as if I'm embracing Death as an old friend, when my time comes. I hope I'm making some sense here, haha. 😁😂.
@@hannahmetzger4880 I used to struggle with the idea of when I died I'll never experience anything again. I got so depressed over it. One day I finally came to understand that there's no way to stop it and I'm doing nothing but ruining my life by worrying about it. So now I'm just trying to enjoy the occasional good thing in my life.
😂😅❤ The dark Should Be feared. Especially when it's ancient, old as fuck, and Powerful as fuck. ❤ people often Don't know what they allow and invite in their lives, Mindlessly thinking it's only innocence when it's a sinister force of destruction and consumption, controlling the masses, at a critical level and feeding off of it, so we always have to keep that in mind. 😊
@@shayleo90s In the dark you can let go of that fear, that hate of something you don't yet understand. The dark is inevitable, don't fight. You might as well pick out a nice quiet place to spend eternity. We'll wait for you, we have time.
@@shayleo90s is it not
better to rule in hell
Then to serve in heaven???
What I think is truly haunting about this song is that if you give into the dark ones and dance with them, you will lose your light. They want you because you burn bright (or is that just what they say to draw you near??) Either you become a spent thing they don't want anymore or you become a dark one, too, seducing the next creature of light. I love this song.
Welcome to the dark.

Or you turn gray...
Pls who are the dark ones?
Very well spoken.
I could see a Disney villain sing a faster version of this
Absolutely beautiful 💕
Speed x1,25 is perfect for that 😊
It’s perfect for that! Original tempo (or a touch slower) would fit the Disney need for their love of revisiting the villain’s melody. 🖤🖤
I tried it at 1.25 and it worked really well (1.50 was too fast and distorted it too much)
@@pazoozoospetals 1.5 would be perfect though if it was madefor it. Even 1.25 does distort the piano a lot. But I would wish for a release with a pace around that.
Forget Disney, My Wiccan heart is screaming for this!
feels like the goddess Hel is calling me to her dark halls,hauntingly beautyfull!
I think of goddess hecate 😂
@@rainatmidnight now that you mention it,yeah,but sorry,personally has to be Hel for me.
I love how your voice takes on a gravelly quality in some parts, it makes it so much creepier and cooler! It especially mixes well with the pure, high background notes. As always, a fantastic piece!
Well now... you totally freaked me out... we have the same name...
@@cibsauthorjenniferhyde I've never met another with the same name! Freaky and awesome!
@@polarbearicequeen totally! Spelt the exact way too!
This is absolutely gorgeous and spine chilling.
I started a D&D campaign recently and this song is the theme song :) I made the players dig their way out out of their own shallow graves while this song played. I've been using it as a running theme after that
This reminds me of when I was a kid and rather than being afraid of the dark I decided that darkness was safest because if they couldn't see you, they couldn't hurt you. So I became one of the shadows of the night for other people to fear.
(I'm glad I turned out okay cause child me was scary... )
Nice! It reminds me of a quote from a game I play: "Fear the darkness if you must, but do not mistake the sunlight for safety". I think the reason that people are afraid of the darkness is that humans evolved knowing that everything else has better night vision, hearing, smell, etc. than us so we became the prey at night no matter what happened during the day. Maybe one day that will no longer happen, we have definitely become less of a "prey" animal.
@@kiranm8569 I like that quote.
@@annebird9195 Thanks a lot! It's from a trading card game called Magic: the Gathering. I like it because it sort of disassembles humanity's innate fear of the dark and association between day and safety despite all animals, not just humans, getting better at hunting (etc.) during the day. Here's one I made up: "The day that you feel the fear of prey as you become the hunted is the day that your humanity is confirmed and your heart opened to the suffering of others." It just popped into my head while listening to this.
You changed my life from now on.
Same
Would have been perfect for the Penny Dreadful soundtrack.
The ending of Penny Dreadful was so disappointing and haphazardly done. But yeah this track definitely fits the tone of the show
Especially when dracula was seducing vanessa
You have no idea just how inspiring this song is. It really helped up the horror levels of my writing and increase the necromantic focus of my character substantially.
so, you're a writer too? Nice. (im 15 btw)
Just discovered this song...well okay just discover Karliene in general. I am now listening to it on endless repeat as I write my book. LOVE IT!!!!
This song speaks to me like I am seeing my childhood again.
I was a girl afraid of anything related to darkness, night was my enemy, always running toward the lights yet the shadows wasn't what I was really afraid of since I loved the calm in it.
At first I feared it. But at some point, I realized that I didn't fear the darkness but the fear itself. I was afraid of the unknown. Always been.
As I grew u, I realized light doesn't always mean safety and darkness always fear. Life teaches you a lot as you grow up. And I grew up accepting my flaws and fear of nothing but the unknown. And it ended up being my greatest gift.
Miss Karliene fighting the pandemic with dark bops I see
Im gonna write a book based on this one
I love these new darker songs, they're hauntingly beautiful
A beautifully haunting song lyrically and musically .
I'm getting oddly comforted by this song these days...
Wake up and see this it's by far the best way to start a day I ever have.
I love the power in the music (cello+piano is a combination always fabolous), the sweet and still disturbing voice, the INCREDIBLE lyrics, the mix that make all the parts shine.
I already learn this song. It's just magnificent
I saw many comments about how great this song is but very few about how delicate and exact it is. So I'll add to these. I don't love this song. It hit my heart way too close for me to love it. But I probably will listen to it often when my Dark Ones are dancing around me.
For those lucky enough to not have depression, lines like 'we see you' have deeper meanings, at least I think. For me, this song is not about some evil tricksters in a made-up world, but the mind game. That everyone loses that starts playing. And it's not fun to lose.
You dance with your Dark Ones and they see through your soul, they tell you how dark it is. And just like the repeating verses in the end, they tell you again and again to kill the love in your heart, the love of yourself, and to give in to the dark, and to never fight the night because it is endless and trying is pointless.
Sorry this ended up longer than I thought I hope I'm not wasting anyone's time.
I do not love this song, but I can deeply connect to it, thank you Karliene.
I understand this all too well dear one. May a light shine down on your dark. 🌈
I was wondering if I was the only one who felt like this deeply connects with my experience fighting depression and suicidal ideation. I hope you’re still fighting, I promise you that you’re worth the battle.
This is a perfect representation of what it's like to have schizoaffective bipolar disorder.
That in my experience isn't what I would use being washed out by white shadows(blinding lights conformed to a rigid shape shadows have never seemed evil to me so my inner pain doesn't really feel like darkness but i grew up on horror and mythological monsters alongside the tragedy of seeing things like witch hunts from the "witches" sides so my brain instead sees a story of something akin to a young witch being lured into becoming a changling by fae. Yes something is clearly playing a trick but the intention was to comfort and preserve instead of break apart and kill. That is the kind of feel i am talking about.
THANK YOU!!!!!!! I FEEL AND THINK SAME AS YOU!!!! I WILL NOT FOLLOW ANYMORE KATARINE BECAUSE I LIKED BEFORE FOR THE SONG "DANCING WITH THE FIRE" BUT NOW I SEE HERE THE PEOPLE ISNT FROM THE LIGHT AND THEYBSAYING THEY LOVE THAT THEY ARE SELLING THEIR SOULS TO THE FUCKING EVIL. IT SUCKS
"Let the dark kill the love in your heart till your heart is painless." I'm very loving but there's a lot of darkness in me. My kindness gets me hurt, man did I feel that line.
This is basically my warlock patron from d&d.
Ive been playing a sorcerer for a few levels and when I heard this had to make the dip into lock.... And I told my DM I wanted this eerily chorused in the background during making the contract....
Ohhh I like that.
Dnd crew here 👌
Karliene.. A true muse. Inspiring all these writers and artists with your beautiful mind.
As a line from a movie I saw once has it: "Love the night, and it will love you back." 😮
Beautiful song really haunting.... and I doubt I'm alone with this but am I the only one that misses seeing you singing your songs..... the art is nice ... but I enjoy seeing you feel the songs as you sing them
I'm feeling demonically motivated for some reason
..
Re:Zero? xD
Yup
Same XD
They song brings out my dark side. 🖤
This song is helping me with a 11 year relationship that ended. “Let the dark kill the love until you are painless “ really helps 😔
Walking the Orphanage in Bloodborne listening to this.... shit I thought that place could not get more spooky... GREAT work Karliene keep it up and thanks for all the music you give us
This is spooktacular. Can't wait for The Gloom EP to be out.
Congratulations!
The first time i listened to it, it clicked in the right way
It was like i already knew the lyrics
I love this song. I love the Dark Ones.
"And so I tread carefully into the world they lead me to. I dare not look back, for nothing will be there. Their dapper siren song lures me into the darkness, where the chants and echoes build into a deafening crescendo. I blink. And the night swallows me up...."
Karliene's voice is perfect for songs like that
Having a dissociative "disorder" I've definitely lived the reality that it's healthier and more empowering to indeed embrace the darkness. Sometimes the most painful scary darkness saved us an is just asking for acknowledgement to be free.
I didn't expect to find a theme for my tabletop character by pure chance. This is nice.
magnificent, being a poet and writer I find such magic in this
This song would be perfect for The Haunting of Hill House. Beautifully done. I got chills.
Wow, hauntingly beautiful and just absolutely glorious. Thanks for dropping such an amazing song, I hope you're staying safe during this covid 19 outbreak. I'm glad you published this song during this long boring quarantine. I'm starting to get tired of hearing my playlists especially since now I have all the time in the world to listen to all 200 and some odd songs on repeat. Now I need new music to listen to so thank you for this song lol. My room is going to look so different and I'm going to have hair like rapunzel (only multicolored from purple to blue to turquoise) by the time this is all over.
I love this song SO much. I just came across it and it gives me comfort. I shared it with my best friend. She loves it too! One of my favorite parts is, "hush child...open you eyes...you are not alone, we are your dark ones, holding you close." I can relate to this song so much. I also like "That world doesn't want you like we do." It makes me feel safe for some reason. Its all good!
Too much light makes one ignorant. After all light and dark coexist from eternity to eternity. Balance! This is reason the letters of this canticle are created. Wisdom from darkness. Grazie!
It feels like a fairy calling to a child to come join them.
That’s one creepy fairy!
@@kierangorman3052 not all fairies are sunshine and rainbows, and even the ones that are aren’t wholly innocent.
Definitely Unseelie fae
Yeah. I have heard that, if you go waaaay, way back, "faerieland" and "the land of the dead" were synonymous. ...Which is why the faeries take the bravest and most beautiful, and why you're not supposed to eat or drink anything they offer you (like in the Persephone myth), and why you want to stay on their good side but never, ever get too close.
@@kierangorman3052 Fairys/Fae have always been creepy its only modern fiction that has made them the way we see them now if you go back to German fairytales or more pagan style tales the Fae are far less kind and should be treated with respect and wariness
I love seeing you've posted new music, especially in these dark times
I can't stop listening to this one.... It's breathtakingly, hauntingly beautiful, so enticing.... The Dark Ones...... I love this song. 💕
me too man, me too.
Do not let the dark kill the love in your heart in an attempt to feel no more pain. I tried years ago. The pain wasn't gone; anger and hatred simply took over it. And this is way worse than pain.
The line from the Type O Negative song everyone I love is dead
I love myself for hating you
Came to mind when I was reading your comment and the line in the song always made me think of my mother
So the dark ones as we're calling them are constantly singing and dancing in my head fortunately for a about 30 years I've been able to politely reject the invitation it's just a little frightening at times because I don't think I will be able to keep up the rejecting of the invitation for however many years or decades it will continue
I can feel my anxiety calling me...omg so creepy and hypnotic. Not what I'm used to listen but definetely I will listen to it because the quality is sooo good. The lyrics, the cello and your stunning voice, magnificent as usual. Congratulations on your new EP!!
Karliene really said witch rights with this one 🖤
These are the words of every voice that has ever whispered inside my head. So familiar.
This song makes me think of my Vampire coven in one of the books I'm working on and I feel this is something the Queen of the coven would sing after hypnotizing the young female character who is an out cast in her town because she knows that monsters lurk but everyone assumes she's insane so she's shoved out of normal things. Well done I feel I have found the Queen's voice thank you Karliene. Love your work and am happy to be a subscriber for going on four years now keep doing what you love and stay safe.
If you don't mind me asking, what's the book going to be called?
@@petitetomate6979 A Darkness Only I See. Wattpad will be where it get's uploaded to I do have other books on there like The Giantess Slayers and The Wolf And The Giantess.
Charmayne King Have you uploaded your book yet? I’d love to read it! :)
@@estherholton4854 Sadly not yet I have been rather busy but I will be still working on it. But I assure you I'll release more on my Wattpad while I work on A Darkness Only I See. It's nice to see someone has a desire to read my word. Do feel free to comment on the books you've read on there and I assure you I will post on Wattpad when I put it up
@@charmayneking6990 What's your name on there? I'll follow you and I'd be happy to check your other stuff out too
Vary beautiful art work and a beautiful dark song.
It makes me feel at peace.
Dude this is perfect for my D&D character, I love using songs to help me inspire scenes for my stories!
I just discovered about your music and I'm in much awe right now 🖤 it's so overwhelming to listen to your beautiful voice and melody. I'm a fan now !
This reminds me of my struggle with my own mental health problems.... My own inner struggle... This is beautifully written, and to think the first song I heard by you was Witch.
I believe you have earned a subscription from me!
Sometimes only darkness will embrace you and teach the inner power, it's not bad thing, just accept that and wake up in your reality. This song is talking to me, I'm very impressed 🥰😈🎃
So beautiful. So soothing and inviting ...,
Very cool. Like a Halloween song. Nice work again Karliene. You're forever talented.
This song rocks!!!! And has a unique sound along with the amazing lyrics just draws me in such a mesmerized way!!!! Thanks for sharing this well written original song Karliene😎🤘
haunting and chilling. It's like demons or some other ghosts calling out for someone to well..to die and become one with them. corrupting them in a way...
This is so peaceful and gives me inspiration with my writing
I've been subscribed to you for years, I don't know what's making me want to ask now, but how do you pronounce your name?
I love you're music! I always feel very inspired after listening to your songs. 💕
Beautifully chilling... great song!
Wow! Cool! The slides down makes it sooo dark.. I got fear to go out at night now...
Absolutely adore this! I'm a huge fan of yours and have been for months. I have to say, many of your original songs gave me so much inspiration for a character in a story I'm writing, a witch named Luna. I just overall love this! Keep on rocking!
Soothing to my soul
That's amazing. Good job! Looking for more awesome songs to come!
I frickin love this song
This should be in a movie intro omg this would be fire 🔥
This song is marvellous! I’m writing a book and couldn’t figure out how to describe this characters ghostly whispers. I’ll just have them sing instead!
I wish there was a movie with this song as an OST! Something dark but aesthetic, with a glimpse of hope, like Guillermo del Torro's stories
...this is fine..........i didnt need sleep any way.....
What was that noise?
You were scared of this? This is a sweet calming song
The most appropriate music for this cloudy Sunday... Karliene I love you..!! 😀
Just wonderful
I'll dance with you my Queen.
The sun and moon are both mine.
A true LOVE song, from my personal perspective 😊
Chills! Chills!! Absolutely beautiful
What a great song
Excuse me while I listen to this EP on repeat for the foreseeable future
Thank you for your music, Karliene !
This is pretty much my brain 24/7
Excellent, once again! I'm really enjoying the direction of this new ep. Can't wait to get it!
Loving this, can feel the raw emotion you put into this. Amazing job.
This reminds me of the Darklings in P. C. Hodgell's Kencyrath series. "Golden eyed shadows" that taught the main character Jame to dance the Great Dance.
Yay! I'm the 1,000th like! This is definitely an amazing song. The way the melody seems to flow, changing mood but keeping one rhythm all along is incredible!
Karliene the best one
Yes, just perfect.
The dark is comforting and accepting. Sink into the abyss. Snuff out the flame and end the cycle. Fear not the dark, my friend, and let the feast begin.
Eat, drink, and be merry for tomorrow we may die
Not even done and Iv already got chills.
Wow sounds like the story of my life... Anyway this song is quite enchanting and oddly enticing at the same time...
Love your style. This song helps me sleep. Happy dreams.
Love your voice and songs... I've bought the EP. Beautiful work, but don't let the shadows get too close. Light a candle for yourself
This song makes me think of a young witch who is dealing with depression and loneliness and also gets bullied and feels powerless so she turns to dark magic and makes a deal with a demon such a beautiful an dark song
interesting story
Why a demon
When in the various religions that are of descent from the Catholic system of beliefs the angels are the truly scary ones
LOVE the Dark Tones!
LOVE IT
Wow, I am speechless. I could feel the darkness surrounding me in the middle of the day while listening to this song.
... love it
why did i discovered you just now 😭 your songs are beautiful and so does your voice! omg! ❤️
