Backstory:

Black Reward originated in the heart of Seattle’s grunge scene in the late 90’s. The band, composed of lead vocalist and guitarist Jack Morrison, drummer Nick Riddle, and bassist Sarah Lambert, all shared a deeply rooted passion for the raw and edgy sounds of grunge, blending it with their unique take on alternative rock. Coming together in a dingy basement, their shared love for music and the bustling underground scene resulted in a band that would soon take the city, and eventually, the world by storm. The band’s name, ‘Black Reward,’ was inspired by the idea that the struggles they faced gave birth to something beautiful: their music.

Title:
“Shadow’s Embrace”

Full Song Lyrics:

Chorus:
Am C G D
In the Shadow’s Embrace, we find our place,
Am C G D
Amid the echoes of our past mistakes,
Am C G D
In the Shadow’s Embrace, we bear the weight,
Am C G D
Of dreams we chase, and hearts that break.

Verse 1:
Am C G D
Beneath the city lights, we find our fight,
Am C G D
In the rhythm of the night, we ignite,
Am C G D
In the shroud of the dusk, we trust,
Am C G D
In the Shadow’s Embrace, we combust.

(Repeat Chorus)

Verse 2:
Am C G D
Through the cracks of the dawn, we’re reborn,
Am C G D
In the furnace of life, we’re torn,
Am C G D
In the searing heat of the day, we fray,
Am C G D
In the Shadow’s Embrace, we stay.

(Repeat Chorus)
