Biography:
With Abney Park's unique darkwave style, one can easily imagine inspiration drawn from fairy tales and nightmares, and recollect a past that never was. Heavy Steampunk inspiration creates style quite unlike anything else.
Abney Park began around 1997, but their popularity exploded with the onset of internet music, with much success through MP3.com in the early 2000’s. The band was a regular chart topper, often holding the number 1 – 5 positions in Goth and Darkwave, and Industrial Dance music charts.

[Verse 1]
Em G Am Bm7
Nobody saw our sails on the horizon
Em G Am Bm7
Nobody heard propellers in the dawn

Nobody smelt our coal fires were burning
Em G Am Bm7
Nobody knew--under the radar we crept on
[Chorus]

Here we come, on the run, our coal fires are burning

Here we come, fife and drum, propellers in the dawn
