The band combines elements from different metal subgenres and has both male and female vocals - both clean and raspy (and growls). Tacere signed a recording contract with Suomen metalli musiikki (a sublabel of KHY Suomen musiikki Oy) at the very end of 2005. In June 2006 they released first single "I Devour", which was followed with EP "A Voice in the dark". This EP was postponed and released with same name as minialbum (release date: 1. November 2006). And finally in February 2007 was released their first and debut album "Beautiful Darkness".

Your Game My Pain
Tacere Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I have found a place in your heart,
now won’t we dance in and out of love until the end of the world?
Your game and my pain
Endless disdain
Your game and my pain
Living in shame
I feel so tired, weakened by your love, trying to keep the faith.
So alone yet binded to you. Ohh won’t you please let go!
The fear in you hurts me inside, oh how did we end up like this?
(Was it not you?!)
The bitter tears (don’t you know)… The silent tears (you should know)…
Now won’t we dance in and out of love until we’ve stolen the joy from our lives.
Your game and my pain
Endless disdain
Your game and my pain
Living in shame
Keep pushing for the lie, it will come real.
Keep living in betrayal, the truth’s a loveless lie.
Your game and my pain
Endless disdain
Your game and my pain
Living in shame
