In A Dark, Dark World is a Alternative Gothic Metal piece that I originally wrote as a poem 20 years ago, as I explored virtual worlds. The lyrics explore the lure to virtual reality and the risk to humanity.

Words, music, art, life. Let's change the world.
I've removed most of my older music over the years, but I kept Queen of Vampires because it's iconic and will always remain forever in my heart. For 20 years, everyone knew me as Vryl. I am still and always be Vryl. Vryl was born from Vryl Valkyrie, a virtual woman in Second Life, my alter ego, a place of refuge and artistic expression and from that place I wrote poetry and composed music. Yes, I will always be Vryl. But after Paul died, I needed a rebirth. That's why I changed to TimeSpoken. Writing and music have always been my sanctuary, my healing stone and my secret garden, but recently I've decided to start exploring what is possible with AI. I love people and getting to know people. If you want to know me or if you want to collaborate, please feel free to contact me. I'm also open to writing lyrics for your instrumentals. I am in France so it may time to get back to you. Thanks for reading my page and listening to my music. Special thanks to SoundClick for still being here after all the years.

Story behind the song
In A Dark, Dark World is a Alternative Gothic Metal piece that I originally wrote as a poem 20 years ago, as I explored virtual worlds. The lyrics explore the lure to virtual reality and the risk to humanity. I also did a Cyberpunk version of the song called Vortex of The Matrix because I felt like the words with work with Cyberpunk Rap. But In A Dark, Dark World is the original. So yeah, releasing it 20 years after writing it. That's the way the universe works. Hope you like it.
Lyrics
In a dark, dark world Nobody wants To see The sun, The rain, Nobody wants To feel, To touch, To be alive The pain Is just Too real. We can't Heal... Searching for a light in a dark, dark world... Heartless creatures We've become. Can we save ourselves from virtual abyss? In a dark, dark world... Controlling Minds, Life And Death. Can we save ourselves from virtual abyss? Weeping, Starving, Dying, Souls. Searching for a light In a dark, dark world... Too blind with greed To see the truth. Too deaf, Too dumb To hear the cry. aah... aah... Can we escape a world Which doesn't exist? Exist, exist, exist, exist. Searching for a light In a dark, dark world... Falling... In the vortex Of the matrix And a digital Lifeline Can't save you Can we save ourselves from virtual abyss? Thriving on Unrealities. Feeding, Decayed Morality. Searching for a light In a dark, dark world... Embracing Anonymity. Losing Individuality. In a dark, dark world... Holographic invasion In a pixelized simulation, Have we become another Sadistic race? I'd love to try And save face. Remove the mask Before it's too late. I'd love to save The human race. In a dark, dark world... Searching... Searching... Searching for life in a black, black hole... In a dark, dark world...
