With the release of Serpentine two years later, the band would build on the work they did with Jade, adding a slightly more up tempo, less depressing sound. After the release of Serpentine, Stefanie Duchêne had to leave the band. Her pregnancy was incompatible with the high sights of the band. She is currently working on her solo career. Their current vocalist is Helen Vogt. With a sound similar to that of Serpentine, and Vogt's vocal similarities with Stefanie Duchêne's vocals, the band released their 5th studio album, Razorbliss.
On October 20, 2004, just seven months after the release of "Razorbliss", two founding members of Flowing Tears, Björn Lorson and Cristian Zimmer, died in a car accident.
Exactly 4 years after the accident, on October 20, 2008 they released their sixth studio album, titled Thy Kingdom Gone. It is a concept album containing 12 songs, along with artwork made by Seth Siro Anton, who is known for doing artwork with Moonspell, Soilwork, and Paradise Lost.

Flowing Tears Lyrics
Jump to: Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sometimes I wish I couldn't care
Sometimes I feel like I'd never see you again
Take a walk on an autumn night
Inhale the stars and drown in their gleam
Does it really take dying children
To see what makes the world go round?
Sometimes I wish I could drown all them smiles and fears
...but as long as I can drown in my own
I guess I won't give a fuck anyway...
Sometimes I wish it would never end
Occasionally, I desire that the present moment lasts forever.
Sometimes I wish I couldn't care
At times, I desire that I am not affected by emotions or circumstances.
Sometimes I feel like I'd never see you again
Occasionally, I have a sensation that I will never meet you again.
Take a walk on an autumn night
Stroll under the autumn sky at night.
Inhale the stars and drown in their gleam
Breathe in the beauty of the stars and let it overwhelm you.
Does it really take dying children
Is it necessary to have kids die to comprehend the essence of the world?
To see what makes the world go round?
To understand what drives the world forward?
Sometimes I wish I could drown all them smiles and fears
Occasionally, I desire to forget both positive and negative emotions.
...but as long as I can drown in my own
However, because I can still be overwhelmed by my own emotions,
I guess I won't give a fuck anyway...
I assume I won't care about anything else.
