BArdaginn
Ástarvin sló máttahríð
En þó er morginn dulit mér
Ok fǿrir bardaginn sitt frer
Eigi sjám vér fram á leið
Vánar veg verð eigi breið
Þó eigi óttask skulum vér
Því ógnin er alt komin hér
Galdrinn minn mun gjalla
Galdrinn minn skal gjalla
Brjótumk ek
Þegar ek vex
Ek em hjá þér allri tíð
Fyrir bakka, upp á hlíð
Morginninn gefr eigi hlé
En verðandi er Þó mitt vé
Galdrinn minn mun gjalla
Galdrinn minn skal gjalla
Augabragð fyrir Þér
Ævi fyrir mér
Borders
where the black sand meets the raging seas
I see the forces for what they truly are
Yet I’m reminded of my beating heart
Among the lonely rocks is where I lay my head
I hear the ocean calling «come with me instead»
She sings me songs of ungrateful souls
Who once thought Gods could bring them home
On the borders of safety, that’s where I find peace
Where the black sand meets the raging seas
I see the forces for what they truly are
Yet I’m reminded of my beating heart
I could swear, that the ocean sings and the mountains talk to me
I could swear, that I hear her breath and her heartbeat in the air
I could swear…
I could swear…
On the edge of comfort, that’s where I find love
and the ocean already knows
She can’t love you like you love her
There’s no mercy from Mother Earth
The Waiting Game
There’s a fire inside me
Waiting for something
Waiting for something
Burning uncontrollably
If I do nothing
If I do nothing
Pre Chorus
I’m waiting for you
You’re waiting for me
Afraid of what we’ll find
If we let words run free
Chorus
You got me stuck in a daze,
you’re wondering what not to say
I am not thinking clearly
when you’re saying my name
I look you deep in the eye,
you wonder if I will stay
Until the heat of the moment
takes us away
Verse
Cannot hide you spark my flame
Whether you feed it or not
We both play the waiting game
No one will win in the end
Pre Chorus
I’m waiting for you
You’re waiting for me
Afraid of what we’ll find
If we let words run free
Chorus
You got me stuck in a daze,
you’re wondering what not to say
I am not thinking clearly
when you’re saying my name
I look you deep in the eye,
you wonder if I will stay
Until the heat of the moment
takes us away
Instrumental
Chorus repeat
Slow Motion
There’s a million ways I could spend my time
Keeping me from who I need to be
Distracting me from what I need to do
...
I dive into an infinite ocean
It makes me devoid of all emotion
I am running in slow-motion
I am running in slow-motion
Forever
Got a single plan for this life of mine
But there’s a million failures awaiting trial
Guide my feet so they can touch the ground
Ignore the noise, till it won’t make a sound
...
I dive into an infinite ocean
It makes me devoid of all emotion
I am running in slow-motion
I am running in slow-motion
Forever
I am running in slow-motion
I am running in slow-motion
Forever...
Naive
Better than being ever comfortably numb
Wrong place and wrong time
Without inhibition I’m aiming for the highest climb
On the outside looking in
Not sure what I’ll find as I close my eyes to search within
Somewhere in between myself there’s a fighter
who only needs a chance to win
I fall in line
(I’m falling in line)
I bide my time
(I’m biding my time)
I fall in line
I bide my time
One by one
To be called by none
Three, two, one…
Too old to get behind
Too young to yet be satisfied
Too bitter to receive
Always so proud, but still insecure and so naive
Too old to get behind
Too young to yet be satisfied
Too bitter to receive
Always so proud, yet so very naive
A constant uphill run
Wrong place and wrong time
I’m aiming for the highest climb,
So next time
When I get the chance I’ll…
Virkelighetens Etterklang
Hvor er jeg nå?
Hvor er jeg nå?
Våket opp og
Vil bare gå, tilbake
Refreng
La meg falle ned
Åpne døren til et sted
Jeg må tørre å få fred
Ta meg dit ja ta meg hel
La meg falle ned
Vers
Hvor er jeg nå?
Hvor er jeg nå?
Våket opp og
Vil bare gå, tilbake
Refreng
La meg falle ned
Åpne døren til et sted
Jeg må tørre å få fred
Ta meg dit ja ta meg hel
La meg falle ned
Bridge
Borte vekk og langt ifra,
Minner om et sted jeg var
Følelsen jeg hadde da,
sterkere enn noen gang
... Virkelighetens etterklang
Refreng
La meg falle ned
Åpne døren til et sted
Jeg må tørre å få fred
Ta meg dit ja ta meg hel
La meg falle
La meg falle ned
Våkne opp et annet sted
Jeg må tørre å se ned
Å stirre inn i mørkets sjel
Ta meg dit ja ta meg hel
La meg falle ned
Ensom
Er det bare jeg som ikke slipper inn?
I byen er du natteravn
Er det bare jeg som ikke finner fram?
Jeg ville bare si ifra
Du kan snakke med meg om alt, er du ensom?
Finnes mange grunner til å bli
Men hvis ingen av dem strekker til, vær snill å si no
Ooh ooh
Har du noen å være med?
Ooh ooh
Har du noen å dele med?
Så ofte jeg tenkte på
om jeg skulle bli eller om jeg skulle gå
Snøen pakker alle lyder inn
Klarer ikke lenger kjenne varmen din
Lurer på om jeg skal si ifra
Kan jeg snakke med deg i kveld?
Jeg er ensom
Finnes mange grunner til å bli
Finnes også mange grunner til å ikke si no
Ooh ooh
Har jeg noen å være med?
Ooh ooh
Har jeg noen å dele med?
En som meg
kan og være en som deg,
kan og være ensom
kan og være ensom
Er det noen som ser?
At en som meg
kan og være en som deg,
kan og være ensom
kan og være ensom
Brave New World
Close your eyes and sleep
Ignore all the burdens that you keep
Come whatever may
They could never harm you anyway
Verse
Stirrings in the wind
Resonates a whisper from within
Warnings from afar
Telling you to heed the morning star
Verse
Waking from the dream
Witnessing the smoke that’s rolling in
The end is what you fear
The scent of embers lingers in the air
Bridge
It’s like a web there is no escape from
It’s got you trapped and you long for freedom
Every wish every dream was granted
Never knowing what they demanded
You see the wall how it’s getting higher
You want to fight but you’re all divided
It’s not a world anyone could thrive in
Is this the world we were meant to grow in?
Somebody tell me where are we going?
Verse
A brave new world will rise
If we do not act upon its lies
Hold your tongues no more
Learn from all the ones who came before
Outro
Catch the wind and fight the storm
Through the fury we’re holding on
Take your time but not too long
Make it worth the time you own
You woke a fire inside of me
Fanned the flame and made it breath
You woke a fire inside of me
Inside of me
Inside of me
On the Run
Sacrificed it all for the means to be free
Hunters of fortune in the search for a home
Leaving all their loved ones for a place unknown
Rough and ragged ...
You were born to lose
You were taught to run
Beneath the breaking waves
Reaching for the sun
There’s a future along these shores
Will you join the chorus, dare to ask for more?
Watch the dreamers, they’re just like you
Opportunity is only for the lucky few
There’s a future…
You were forced to choose
To leave your world behind
Drifting with the tides
Afraid to cross the line
If you reach the shores,
Ask yourself once more
What will you become?
You were born to lose
You were taught to run
Always forced to chose at the barrel of a gun
Always on the news
(He’s a foreigner looks like a foreigner)
Fading with the views
(She’s a foreigner doesn't belong in here)
Easy to ignore
(Can’t ignore that...)
Until they come ashore
We told stories of the home of the brave
Everyone consuming the masquerade
If you want freedom
there’s a price to pay
Yet everyone’s been paying, and still, we’re not the same
Wonderland
I find my wonderland
I fall asleep beneath the trees
Close my eyes as if to leave
And if you wonder where I’ve been
I have retreated to scale the mountain
Don’t worry ‘bout me or where I am
I’m in my wonderland, in my wonderland
Deep down I am at ease
Past the edge of my believes
There’s no story without me
I paint I write, I set them free
So if you wonder where I’ve been
I’ve retreated to scale the mountain
Don’t worry ‘bout me or where I am
I’m in my wonderland, in my wonderland
Inside my mind
I leave it all behind
But if you wonder where I’ve been
I have retreated to scale the mountain
Don’t worry ‘bout me or where I am
I’m in my wonderland, in my wonderland
So don’t you wonder where I’ve been
I have ascended, I’ve scaled the mountain
Don’t worry ‘bout me or where I am
I’m in my wonderland, this is my wonderland
With You
along a hidden trail
A haven undefined
A moment caught in time
Nowhere I’d rather be
No one I’d rather be with
My restless heart remains
with you
We’re only passing through
Without the means to choose
Just how our paths unwind
Yet I’ve made up my mind
Nowhere I’d rather be
No one I’d rather be with
My restless heart remains
with you
With you
With You
It Gets Easier
But somewhere along the line
it gets easier
I know it’s hard to find
But somewhere along the line
it gets easier
It gets easier
It gets easier
It gets easier
Heal My Soul
...For before
Everything I put you in and more
I don’t always know what it all means
To be there for someone in their time of need
Never told you that, but you deserve to know
Can you please forgive so I can heal my soul?
Heal my soul
Heal my soul
Concrete Landscapes
This place was never meant to be our home
This land was in possession of no one
We settled in belief that seeds would grow
A promise that we’d harvest what we’d sow
Verse
This place was never meant to be our home
This land was in possession of no one
From fields of green grew towers made of stone
It breaks my heart and all that I have known
Chorus
Silently I walk among these concrete landscapes
Rupturing our roots so we will leave or fade away
Watching my surroundings being ravaged by their greed
Replaced by someone’s vision to create the concrete dream
Lullaby
Sleep my child
In the deep we’ll hide
Lullabies I sing
She’ll make you heavy taking you in
And I hear her crows
Calling from afar
Steadily she goes
Coming for us all
Verse
Dream away
I do nothing but pray
We’re broken by the storm
She opens the door,
and welcomes us home
I wait for the plague
She leaves her withered trail
Chorus
Cause the sky will break
And the earth will decay
As we run to hide
From the hills she glides
Verse
The world is frozen still
Rather end it now than wait until
we wither from within
She embraces my lungs
Breathing me in
I am but the plague
She leaves her withered trail
Chorus
The sky it breaks
And the earth it decays
I close my eyes
To her lullabies
The sky it breaks
And the earth it decays
In the howling tide,
I sing the lost souls's cry
Across the Sea
It’s hard to leave
Hills and woods all around have been my home
I remember the morning fog
I remember the sparkling snow
And I wont forget, the mountains
And I wont forget, the mountains
Verse
Travel travel travel alone
Away from home and out in the unknown
I have memories of a summer breeze
I have memories of the winter trees
No I wont forget, the mountains
No I wont forget, the mountains
What Do You Know About Love?
I'm not afraid of this earth
I always proved my worth
Even if my arrow's in the heart of the siren
There aint nothing that can stop his mind from wandering
To You
To You
Chorus
What do you know, what do you know, about Love?
What do you know, what do you know, about Love?
Verse
I’m not afraid of his hurt
I always proved my worth
Even though I know for whom this heart is beating
There aint nothing that can stop her now from bleeding
For You
For You
Chorus
What do you know, what do you know, about Love?
What do you know, what do you know, about Love?
Eg e'kje redd for verda
Eg ska meg alltids klara
Onto the Fire
Verse
The crowd of the people I hear
The crowd of the people I hear
The crowd of the people I hear
The crowd of the people I hear
The echoes of water drops
On the cold wet ground
Rats are crawling all around
Verse
The voices of men I hear
The voices of men I hear
They release me from my chains
But I heard them say
This one will not be saved
Verse
This is as close to freedom
This is as close to freedom
This is as close to freedom
This is as close to freedom
They open up the doors
And I see the crowd
For once now I am free
And for that I’m proud
I will not no I will not bow
Verse
On to the fire
On to the fire
with me
On to the fire
On to the fire
with me
They tie me to the pole
I never sold my soul
I know where I will go
Where the gardens grow
For the ones that I have loved
Are the ones I owe
In their kingdom of flames
I shall take my throne
They say that what you reap is what you sow
Rest Your Soul
Verse
Walk walk walk
On this endless road
Fly fly fly
Away, with your heavy load
Laugh laugh laugh
Strangers will always greet
Cry cry cry
For all the friends you’ll never meet again
Rest your soul
Rest your soul
Pre Chorus
You, oh you have travelled far
You’ve seen the world dance
You been around it all
Chorus
You walk in the sun you walk in the rain
You heard that the time could heal every pain
You cannot heal your wounded scars
By leaving all the people that one day could break your heart
Rest your soul
Rest your soul
Verse
Run run run,
It’s not a sin
But if you can’t look back
You’ll never win
Wait wait now
Don’t be scared
Open your eyes
Dare to confront your fears
again
Rest your soul
Rest your soul
Pre Chorus
You, oh you have travelled far
Where does your heart lead?
You run from who you are
Chorus
You walk in the sun you walk in the rain
You heard that the time could heal every pain
You cannot heal your wounded scars
By leaving all the people that one day could break your heart
Rest your soul
Restless Soul
Not Some Fairytale
Verse
I will follow you like the river follows its path, follows its path
I will follow you like the leaves caught in a breeze, caught in a breeze
There’s no doubt what I want to be, by your side for eternity
Take my hand and follow my dance, don’t you see this is true romance?
Pre Chorus
I’m your woman, you’re my man
Come with me lets cross the land
Take my hand and follow me
You’ll be safe here...
Chorus
You’re my man
And the wind and the river, I can outrun oh outrun them all
I feel your heart
Pounding and quivering, come to oh come to my call
Cause you’re my man
Verse
I will follow you like a wolf hunting its prey, hunting its prey
You shall follow me like the tide, a slave to the moon, to the moon
There’s a place far over the hills,
don’t be scared we’ll share all the thrills
Take my hand and follow my lead,
save your prayers, save your please
Pre Chorus
Ill take care of you my man
Do you know just what I am
This is not some fairy tail
Il have you now...
Chorus
Cause you’re my man
And the wind and the river,
I can outrun oh outrun them all
I feel your heart
Pounding and quivering come to oh come to my call
Cause you’re my man
And the wind and the river,
I can outrun oh outrun them all
I feel your heart
Beating and quivering oh come to oh come to my call
Cause you’re my man...
Sell Your Voice
Verse
Don’t waste your voice on lies
Comon along, it will be just fine
Don’t waste an early night
You know you want to do what’s right
Listen, embrace the sound
of people together who stand their ground
Watch the sun go down
We feel the tension all around
Chorus
Give it a go
Give it a shout
Sell your voice to the night
Verse
Don’t waste your time being shy
You have a heart you know where love lies
Promise me you’ll try
Don’t let this chance just pass you by
Step up, we are as one
Together we can change but not alone
You decide where to go
You are the ones to create your show
Verse
Hear me when I break out loud
I can’t hold it in now, sing it out
If you feel what I say now,
Don’t hold it back just spit it out
Chorus
Give it a go
Give it a shout
Sell your voice to the night
