1. Saturnine

The day you went away
You had to screw me over
I guess you didn't know
All the stuff you left me with
Is way too much to handle
But I guess you don't care

You don't need to preach
You don't have to love me all the time

Whatever on earth possessed you
To make this bold decision
I guess you don't need me
While whispering those words
I cried like a baby
Hoping you would care

You don't need to preach
you don't have to love me all the time
You don't have to preach all the time

You don't need all the time
You don't need

You don't need to preach
You don't have to love me all the time
You don't need to preach
You don't have to love me all the time
You don't need to preach
You don't have to love me all the time
You don't have to preach all the time

2. Strange Machines

It has always been in the back of my mind
Dreaming about going to the corners of time
I always wanted to fly in strange machines

I wanna do centuries in a lifetime
And feel it with my hands
Touch the World War II and Cleopatra
Flying...

Could it be that my dream would come true
Building a machine that would actually do
What I want it to do

Russian revolution, let's do that in one day
Beethoven and Gershwin I think that would be o.k.
More than anything I wanna fly in strange machines

I wanna do centuries in a lifetime
And see it with my eyes
Watch Jesus rise, if he ever did
Flying...

I wanna do centuries in a lifetime
And feel it with my hands
Touch Renaissance and Chaka Khan
Flying..

3. Meltdown

It's time to leave – this eerie sound
I cared but failed – the ones I love
I guess its just – what comes around

We try to bend – but then it breaks
What kind of mind – makes these odd shakes
I can't believe – it ends all here

You pull me down

You always failed

You pull me down – I fake a laugh – I sway
You broke my heart – I fell so hard always
Because of you I'm still afraid today

It's time to leave – this eerie sound
I cared but failed – the ones I love
I guess its just – what comes around

You pull me down

You pull me down – I fake a laugh – I sway
You broke my heart – I fell so hard always
Because of you I'm still afraid today
Because of you I'm still afraid today

I will not give you what you think that you earn from me
I will not make the same mistakes you always made
I tried to show you that I cared although you always failed
I was too young to have known better – better than you

You could have kept all those stories to your self

I tried to show you that I cared although you always failed
I was too young to have known better – better than you

4. Nighttime Birds

Their ways are open
They spread as their wings
They want to be certain
Of a warm surrounding

When they fly
Trough the night as beautiful nighttime birds

The warm winds pick them up
When they fly

When they fly
Trough the night as beautiful nighttime birds

5. The Mirror Waters

Slowly... Flying silent
Touching the wind as it sadly sings... for me.

Aging on the outside
With my youth in my empty hands
Lost all that I was living for, live no longer

Couldn't resist looking in her eyes
I saw myself, tears were falling
The seas of her eyes reflected my old age
Youth grows old, like winter follows spring

Faster... Falling kingdom
Dancers on winter winds,
they dance... for me

Nature's ways
Life can't always be controlled
Controlled by fear
Scared of months and years, fear no longer

Time leaves it's mark
The years come but never go
Masked is my face
The mask of age will fall, hide no longer

Couldn't resist looking in her eyes
I saw myself, tears were falling
The seas of her eyes reflected my old age
Youth grows old, like winter follows spring

6. King For A Day

In everyone hides a king for a day
Nature's actors, in tragedies we play
But deep bows the head that bears the crown
For the weight of might can always pull us down

Soon my reign will end
I, a king without hands
Soon this day will end
As my tears descend

Everyone has his own dragons to slay
Look in her eyes, never turn away

Soon my reign will end
I, a king without hands
Soon this day will end
As my tears descend

Every treasure you find
And every road you take
Has it's opposite side
Sacrifices to make

Dream on...
Sleep on...

Time is my only fear
An enemy of sand
My dreams are old
A new king will rise

7. Even The Spirits Are Afraid

You think you were earning
Burning the church of your god
You were yearning
Learning the birth of your dirt
Did you think you earned it
Burning your god
That you thought messed up your life?

You spill red
On my cloudy carpet

You think you were earning
Burning the church of your god
You were yearning
Learning the birth of your dirt
Did you think you earned it
Burning your god
That you thought messed up your life?

You spill red
On my cloudy carpet

Your skin turns dust
On my cloudy carpet

You think
You were earning
Burning
Your skin turns dust
No more you were yearning
Burning
Burning
Your skin turns dust

Your skin turns to dust
When holding it close to the sun
And it burns the skin from you're your precious sun
It burns the skin
It burns the skin
It burns the skin

8. Broken Glass

Strange vibe
Circles round
Tries to comfort
Buzzing sounds
Form an arrow
Point at us
We the target
Are the one
Place your bet
On the best
The fastest source
You can find

Drop yourself
In the grass
Breathe the air
At last
Hold on tight
Don't fall down
Breathe the air
Through the water

Form an arrow
Point at us
Be the target
Of the center
Find the key
Lock the door
Close your eyes
For encore

Drop yourself
In the grass
Breathe the air
At last
Hold on tight
Don't you fall down
Breathe the air
Through the water

Find your peace
Turn in sight
You're the target
You're the center
Find the key
Lock the door
Close your eyes
For encore

Drop yourself
In the grass
Breathe the air
At last
Hold on tight
Don't you fall down
Breathe the air
Through the water

9. Heroes For Ghosts

Fading falling
Slow winds breaking soundscapes
And waves of velvet sweeping
Into me

You moved all that was in my world
And showed me all the new colours
In my universe where storms run

Falling, falling, falling, fall into me
I hear echoes of my speech
And i see shadows of my walk
I feel the past
I always look backwards

Fighting, floating
Tasting blood in my mouth
Ancient damp painting ruins
Feel the rising chill

I listened to the sound of your airs
We're watching stone saints fall over
While the black crows will be taking to the sky

Falling, falling, falling, fall into me
I hear echoes of my speech
And I see shadows of my walk
I feel the past
I always look backwards

My heart is drifting through all shades of green
My head is thinking through meadows of the sea
Lonely as I am

Expanding the scene where I've never (ever) been
A promise at last to call back the past
To finish off with you – I'm finishing off with you

Sliding down

10. Afterwords

Doubt is creeping
Into the seams
Words keep breaking
Tearing at the weave

We've seen the signs
All through the years
Torn between
Our hopes and fears

Close your eyes
Just close your eyes now

Worlds collapsing
Shattered dreams
We're failing actors
In this final scene

Hold me now
Just hold me now, love

Love can't save us all
Love can't save us all
It can be ruthless
It can be cruel
Love can't save us all

Turn the light off
When you leave
Close the door
You're free from me

All the hurt
And all the pain
Are the afterwords
And they won't sustain

Break these ties
Just break these ties now

11. Amity

The torture won't part you
Motherly breast won't warm you
You fail and foam from your mouth
Why is it so loud, this sound?

All the sense your are capable of
Does not seem to save you
You heed the glance of a smile
Was it impossible to float for a while?

Restless is carrying fever
Burning you to pieces
In search and need of a friend
Will I bow down to this in the end?

I lay in the hands of my maker
And I want to spend the rest of it awake
Why do I get the feeling they'll brake it
It's a fight...
It's a fight...

The torture won't part you
Mothers lap can't seem to warm you
You strain, you climb up and frown
Why is it so loud, this down?

All the sense you are capable of
Does not seem to save you
You heed the glance of a smile
Was it impossible to float for a while?

I lay in the hands of my maker
And I want to spend the rest of it awake
Why do I get the feeling they'll brake it
It's a fight...
It's a fight...

I lay in the hands of my maker
And I want to spend the rest of it awake
Why do I get the feeling they'll brake it
It's a fight...

12. On Most Surfaces (Inuit)

The frost hits me in the eye
And wakes me
These are blury winters
And I cannot see

I walk into the white light of the snow
When the sun comes
I break it with my shadow
Which tales me where I go

The frost hits me in the eye
And wakes me

I am the snow falling down on you
I tear up your face with my frost
And make you run to somewhere warm
When I come I see you get away
I brust out about your emptyness

The frost hits me in the eye
And wakes me

These are blury winters
And I cannot see

13. Paper Waves

Sun comes out – Wakes me up
Wanna sleep, need to sleep

Saw your face – In my dreams
Fade away, far away

Fade away, fade away

You took your time – Passing by
Smiles and tears –No one cares

Had you once –Now you're gone
Want you here, Need you near

Dreams and life it seems
Are crushing boundaries in me
Paper waves and seas – Ride the tide with me

Need to see – You're not far from me
I'm breaking time –Crossing lines

I start to run –to catch the sun
from falling down – and burn this town

I try to reach –You slip away
Can't you stay – Please just stay

Cold and warmth collide
Turning dark and light, inside
Nights we over fly – All logic gone awry

To know we might not meet again, I hardly bare to look at you
In all this mess we don't complain, we kind of always knew

14. Leaves

I close your eyes with my mouth
Now you don't see anything
But you feel my breath all over
I can feel you too

Although I don't really know you
I don't really care

Cry with me, make my day
Tomorrow all will be gone
All the sweetness and all the fun
No, I don't wanna know

Although I don't really know you
I don't really care

Now that you're gone I don't know
How to really feel inside
Baring the hope to see you again
I guess I never will

Now that I do really know you
Yes, I really care

15. In Motion I

Kill me with your thoughts
Use your mind
Hand me over to this world
Into death, into death

Make me cry in vain
Leave one tear, touch my face with your sigh
Leave me against the stream
One hundred worlds will see me passing by

Kill me with your thoughts
Use your mind
Hand me over to this world
Into death, into death

Make me cry in vain
Leave one tear, touch my face with your sigh

Make me cry in vain
Leave one tear, touch my face with your sigh
Leave me against the stream
One hundred worlds will see me passing by

16. Travel

Melodic stanzas
are symphonizing their way
through your weary head

To feed your distrust
And fill it's mouth with the desire
to soulfully be one with your creation

Not a subject to control
you call upon a higher power
for help and inspiration

The crowd waits
and turns their faces
towards you expectantly
you give them what they need
But their useless criticism
makes you die
a bit more inside

Not a subject to control
you call upon a higher power
for help and inspiration

Oh, I swoon
while loudspeakers play soft music

Leaning
over your fourtieth masterpiece
You must have loved
the colour of these violins

I wish I knew you
Your fit of insanity makes me sad

I wish you knew
your music was to stay forever
And I hope....

I have no clue
if you know how much it matters
And I hope....

17. Waking Hour

The eyes are made to see
They see the path of our lives

The heart is there to feel
It feels the energy of our time

I can see it
I can feel it

This is my waking hour
This is my place
I can hear it
I feel the power in my heart
and it's my moment
It is right there
and it's staring me in the face

Disguise and make believe
I see the end of all demise
The only way to heal
is in the honesty of your eyes

I can see it
I can feel it

This is my waking hour
This is my place
I can hear it
I feel the power in my heart
and it's my moment
It is right there
staring me in the face

The fight is done and who are we
to judge what will become?
All the iron arms are laid down, away,
followed by the heroes
who belong a rested Earth
We pray
We feel the rescue coming near,
within the woken soul to heal,
we sense the calm all wrapped in fear.
And all the while we heed
The senses – way too vast to see
We beg of you to not let go
Our names
will provide us with a soul

I can feel it

Falling down
Start again
Life
can bring you down
The monumental truth
of ellegance in you

Falling for
a part of who you are
who makes you shine inside

18. I Can See Four Miles

Whatever you do
Whatever you say

Every time I'm here
And every time you're near
Those echoes keeps growing

I shut my eyes
I closed my mouth

Whatever you did

I shut my eyes
I closed my mouth

Unsteady feet on our parkway
Your finger on our door bell
The walls are getting closer in here

The shadow of dependence
Fills the hall with dusty air
Creeping up on my innocence
And the loss of your care
