After releasing a live DVD, they recorded their third full-length record 'In The Dark', which was released on Excelsior Recordings, Netherlands, in October 2008. First single off that album was 'Overpowered' - its music video was directed by famous UK artist / director Peter Greenaway.

Reflection
Face Tomorrow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I nailed it down, but it won't stay.
I'm trying to ignore it.
But nothing works. It seems that I can't help it.
You remind me of someone else.
You don't fool me.
We can all see you are lying to yourself.
Regret.
And there's no one else to blame for it.
If you make one mistake you despise yourself forever.
You remind me of someone else.
Can you hear me.
We can all see.
You are fighting with yourself.
You remind me of someone else.
Then it hit me.
I did not see.
I am talking to myself.
I am lying to myself.
To my own reflection
Save yourself, save yourself
Come on down and save yourself.
Save yourself, save yourself.
See yourself and save yourself.
You remind me of someone else.
Now I hear me.
Now I see me.
I am fighting with myself.
You remind me of someone
Will you help me to complete me.
I am lying to myself.
I am lying to myself.
