Death SS were reformed in 1988 by Sylvester, as Paul Chain detached himself from the evil philosophy of the band. This new incarnation of Death SS would record their first full length album, ...In Death of Steve Sylvester. Their would be many line-up changes in the years to come, with Sylvester once again being the only constant member.
In the darkness
Death SS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
tears in my eyes can't you see
dreamin' of a love that cannot be.
In the darkness of my mind
first start laughing then start crying
and the pain in my heart now makes me blind.
you're living in the dark
but your smile survives in me
memories of you, yesterday you were laying in my arms
while now I cry alone, and you're buried in the dark!
Now I wait for your return
how long must I cry and mourn
but now I know that you can live again.
In the darkness where you rest
I will fight against death
'till fate will bring you back here to me.
Breakin' breakin' my lonely heart for you
you're living in the dark
but your smile survives in me
I never thought this could be, truth is I really can't believe
that your light no longer shines, 'cause you're living in the dark!

The chorus of the song, "Breakin' breakin' my lonely heart for you, you're living in the dark, but your smile survives in me," emphasizes the idea that even though the loved one has passed away, their memory still lives on in the singer's heart. The singer is grieving, but they still hold on to memories of their loved one, and cherish the moments they shared together.
