If we live through this
Then we’ll know
That this was worth it
Then we’ll know
If we live through this
Then we’ll know
If we live through this
And weren’t you the one who wanted me
So why don’t you let go set me free
Red light in the morning warning me
Blood moon is an omen haunting me
Find love in the shadows—meant to be?
Find skin as an altar, cleansing, he
Says “weren’t you the one who wanted me
So why don’t you just let me go”
The pain has a purpose
A lesson in patience
I’ll know it was worth it
If Saturn is gracious
If we live through this
Then we’ll know
That this was worth it
Then we’ll know
If we live through this
Then we’ll know
If we live through this
And weren’t you the one who wanted me
So why don’t you let go set me free
You sign of the swords, found your city
Burnt bridges divide us like a sea
I’m seeking asylum from my past
I failed you in trust but that’s the last
Time I’ll turn away from what I know
So why won’t my sins let me go
The pain has a purpose
A lesson in patience
I’ll know it was worth it
If Saturn is gracious
I don’t want this
I don’t want this
The pain has a purpose
A lesson in patience
I’ll know it was worth it
If Saturn is gracious
The pain has a purpose
A lesson in patience

It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days.
Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago. modestwriggles
Perfectly gloomy Norwegian goth/post-punk, anchored by a punchy rhythm section and driven by chiming guitar lines and morose vocals. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 16, 2021
“Strangers” is packed with wonderfully menacing electro-goth—late-night horror movie music for vampire dance parties. Bandcamp New & Notable May 8, 2023
Bleak, throbbing work that lands halfway between coldwave and shoegaze, this Berlin group hits that spot just under the breastbone. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 15, 2017
