NOTES + LYRICS OF THE MONTH

This month's chart contains 8 new entries starting up at the Number 1 spot with the new Depeche Mode song " Martyr". Taken from the newly released Best Of album, this song is a mélange of all the styles and instruments used throughout the 25 years of their existence.

The number 2 song is the fantastic ex-number 1 "Manolis" by Via Mistica ,taken from one of the best gothic rock albums of 2006 "Under My Eyelids".

At number 3 we have a new invention by the ex-Within Temptation keyboardist. The band is Delain and the song "Frozen" does not require a lot of spins to be enjoyed.

The third highest new entry comes from the band To/Die/For. Taken from their new "Wounds Wide Open" album, this song presents an improved rock tune with a catchy chorus and excellent arrangements.

We finally welcome the come-back of The Killers with our choice from the Sam's Town!

As usual, your comments on the above Top 10 are alwyas welcomed . Our email address: gothicera@gothicera.com.

DEPECHE MODE - MARTYR

I've been a martyr for love
And I will die in the flames
As I draw my last breath
As I'm close in on death
I will call out your name

I've been a martyr for love
Nailed up on the cross
While you having your fun
As the damaged is done
I'm assessing the cost

I knew what I was letting myself in for
I knew that I could never even the score

I've been a Martyr for love
I need to be by your side
I have knelt at your feet
I have felt your deceit
Couldn't leave if I tried

I Have been a martyr for love
Tortured every hour
From the day I was borned
I've been moved like a pawn
By the greatest of powers

I knew that I would have to suffer in vein
Aware that I would never outgrow the pain

I have been a martyr for love
I have been a martyr for love
I have been a martyr for love
I have been a martyr for love

THE KILLERS - FOR REASONS UNKNOWN

I pack my case. I check my face.
I look a little bit older.
I look a little bit colder.
With one deep breath, and one big step, I move a little bit closer.
I move a little bit closer. For reasons unknown.

I caught my stride.
I flew and flied.
I know if destiny's kind, I've got the rest on my mind.
But my heart, it don't beat, it don't beat the way it used to.
And my eyes, they don't see you no more.
And my lips, they don't kiss, they don't kiss the way they used to, and my eyes don't recognize you no more.

For reasons unknown; for reasons unknown.

There was an open chair.
We sat down in the open chair.
I said if destiny's kind, I've got the rest on my mind.
But my heart, it don't beat, it don't beat the way it used to.
And my eyes, they don't see you no more.
And my lips, they don't kiss, they don't kiss the way they used to, and my eyes don't recognize you at all.

For reasons unknown; for reasons unknown.

I said my heart, it don't beat, it don't beat the way it used to and my eyes don't recognize you no more.
And my lips, they don't kiss, they don't kiss the way they used to, and my eyes don't recognize you no more.

For reasons unknown; for reasons unknown; for reasons unknown; for reasons unknown.
