I feel ashamed
With abandon in my heart and on my face
I suffered the blame
I would show to you this way, but I’m too late

When the sorrow, it breaks them
I will replace them for you

Dead flowers for the torn apart
Laid at the grave to heal a broken heart
Let it rain until it floods
Let the sun breathe life once more
Reborn

Wish you the same
To walk beside and carry on this flame
To see you again
With a radiance of pure and holy name

Dead flowers for the torn apart




Behind the Song:
The most rewarding part of reimagining the songs for this collection was hearing how they held up as songs in general; not metal songs, not ballads played by a metal band, but just songs. Pulling them out of the context of a Demon Hunter record and performing them without the any of those prerequisites allowed me to hear them with a fresh perspective. I found myself getting excited about them all over again. “Dead Flowers” is the perfect example of a Demon Hunter song that has the potential to live outside of the constraints of a metal or hard rock cage. Hearing these songs transform almost felt like watching them reach their fullest potential. I’ve never been so proud to look back on our catalog of music, and I’ve never felt so blessed to have this group of individuals help me nurture these songs into their destined renditions. —Ryan Clark
