Precious Dark There’s a place I don’t want you to know of Hidden deep in a blindfolded heart - Where the desperate walk in silence, Waiting for the ghosts to depart There’s a game I don’t want you to know of Masquerade, Cirque du Dècadence A pawn in an empty chessboard Moved around by a hand of a fool Never played it safe It’s a wicked game Any hand, any call, I’m in It said: "Love like you’ve never been hurt And dance till dawn like you’ve just been born A perfect toy made by perfect tools Playing Ring Around the Rosie with a crowd of fools Take a hold of my hand, I have sights to show you Gingerbread house, Pleasure Island, Big Blue Turn off the light, close your eyes wide shut And welcome the precious dark" I have seen far, I’ve never seen close There are no mirrors on my wall Silent is the call of my ocean And the sirens washed ashore All the sins they have long shadows Turn the switch and the past comes alive Live and learn, 1,2,3, know your ABC It’s their answer to every "why" Never played it safe It’s a wicked game Any hand, any call, I’m in It said:" Love like you’ve never been hurt And dance till dawn like you’ve just been born A perfect toy made by perfect tools Playing Ring Around the Rosie with a crowd of fools Take a hold of my hand, I have sights to show you Gingerbread house, Pleasure Island, Big Blue Turn off the light, close your eyes wide shut And welcome the precious dark" There was always a place that you knew of You were holding the keys all along There was always a game that you knew of Now you’re one of them washed ashore In Passing Little sister, Playing hide and seek Even though mama told you I’m really gone If you miss me Sneak a peek at my diary Or read the peek-a-boo sky that lights the night I’ll say this once: Light up the night, stardust! When it hurts inside read all the signs Follow It´s okay to feel down and just remember that nothing´s made to last I know you´re sad That too will pass, that too will pass In passing, Little sister Ignore local news Papers come from trees we’ll never climb What a joke! They made me look so sad That bad bad lake’s okay; it washed my hair And the waves said: Light up the night, stardust! When it hurts inside read all the signs Follow It´s okay to feel down and just remember that nothing´s made to last I know you´re sad That too will pass, that too will pass That too will pass That too will pass You’ll recall all that Till one day You too will pass. |

Lilja’s Lament Strolling under harbor lights, Lilja reads a line ‘Poor Tatiana’ In another library, Rochester arrives Oh lord, he’s half-blind Lancelot and Guinevere came nowhere near the pier No love this year Marian called Robin Hood to save her from the sea But words are cheap Stories had been spun, a sea of metaphors were done And Lilja heard but wonder’s thunder All the books she read kept her in bed and hurt her head Her tragic flaw was not a blunder Percival got drunk and tossed his cup into the snow Where’d the grail go? Catherine found her Heathcliff but the Brontes died alone Air gets so cold Wind revives the balladeers sentenced to their words Fog means return For the bards and troubadours, sentences are worlds We long but don’t learn Stories had been spun, a sea of metaphors were done And Lilja heard but wonder’s thunder All the books she read kept her in bed and hurt her head Her tragic flaw was not a blunder Teeter totter by the harbor, Lilja looked up saw a starfish Holding her hand was Ophelia, Smith, Elliot; Plath, Sylvia Stories had been spun, a sea of metaphors were done But Lilja lived her blunder thunder All the books she read put her to rest on a seabed Her tragic flaw still makes me wonder The Straight and Arrow Road’s getting narrow, with snakes in the shadow And the shade where you sleep is formed by the gallows Where a man with an arrow was hung by the shallow little boys little boys little boys who became what they feared Who would have thought that the ones who spoke of trust would come to betray us? Who would have sought love from those who prayed for peace while sewing hatred’s seed? Who would have fought for a land where blood flows till it clots each river? Who would have sons knowing all the orphans they would soon deliver? Kneel beside me, in this field of memory Don’t become those you fear; don’t kill what you’ve been Cause the straight and narrow has snakes in the shadow And the shade where you sleep is formed by the gallows Where a man with an arrow was hung by the shallow little boys little boys little boys who became what they feared You should have known: the snakes were figments of imagination You should have shown: the roads and gallows were your own creation Sleep beside me, there’s no time to worry The sound that you hear - it comes from your ear Cause the road gets narrow, with snakes in the shadow And the shade where you sleep is formed by the gallows Where a man with an arrow was hung by the shallow little boys little boys little boys - there’s a choice! The straight and narrow has snakes in the shadow And the shade where you sleep is formed by the gallows Where a man with an arrow was hung by the shallow little boys and their toys; little boys who became what they feared Weep beside me in this sea of memory Don’t you see what I see… you’re the men that you fear When the road gets narrow, with snakes in the shadow And the shade where you sleep is formed by the gallows Where a man with an arrow was hung by the shallow ...What’s the point! When the road gets narrow, with snakes in the shadow And the shade where you sleep is formed by the gallows Where a man with an arrow was hung by the shallow little boys little boys there’s a choice there’s a choice When the road gets narrow, with snakes in the shadow And the shade where you sleep is formed by the gallows Where a man with an arrow was hung by the shallow little boys little boys little boys don’t become what you fear |

Eerie Eden Sorrow´s sound, it swirls all about you Dry fallen leaves that rise like a cloud Time is a torch in a field of lost faces Kissed by the mist, you kneel on the ground Shadowed by years, smiles you remember Half-recalled movements float in the fog There’s no dread you’ll forget in the dead of December Hear the dawn’s breeze echo night’s song Remain on, build your eerie Eden Swim in your enchanted land Seek your heaven, build your eerie Eden Memory is a sea of sand "Eternally yours", you read from a letter Torn as the earth where the sender lies Worn out by dreams, sinking in sunlight You see no lips but still hear the cry Remain on, build your eerie Eden Swim in your enchanted land Seek your heaven, build your eerie Eden Memory is a sea of sand Children of Frost Hear the night toll in my breath The cold lights dance overhead Here the lake stares with dark eyes Trees are their lashes of ice See the star’s glare float upstream Shedding its skin with dead leaves Seems like the sky’s falling up The wind wraps itself with my lungs The sea that we saw was a desert of snowfall The children of frost marched into the deadly dawn In their great awe they found an old seesaw And as they got on, the season of dark had gone Dream with the nomads of light Their dogs and their gods are all blind Sing as white pours from dark veins Bless all the earth that it paints The sea that we saw was a desert of snowfall The children of frost marched into the deadly dawn In their great awe they found an old seesaw And as they sat down, the season of dark had come In our great awe we found an old seesaw And as we sat down, our season had come The sea that we saw was a desert of snowfall The children of frost are wrapped in the dawn At a great cost we found an old seesaw And as we sat down, a new season had come The sea that we saw was a desert of snowfall My children of frost march on and greet the dawn |

ISLANDS OF LIGHT Running in the darkness, rolling back in time Following the voices howling in your mind Under you the frozen lake crackles till you halt When the frosty mirror breaks, will you hear the call Come admit your secret plan to make it to the top Hear the sirens as they sing till the day you drop Fall through the ice, into my eyes Islands of light guide you tonight Drowning in your daydreams, hiding in your bed They keep on complaining, it´s all in your head Come admit your secret plan to make it to the top Hear the sirens as they sing till the day you drop Fall through the ice, into my eyes Islands of light guide you tonight Don’t you recognize your voice in our coven’s song? Don´t you know it´s not the music? - it's you that danced along See the moon riding the tide, the reflection swims As the ice begins to melt, we see a form within Fall through the ice, into my eyes Islands of light guide you tonight As If As if, as if As if it matters Innit, innit ‘what happens, happens’? As if as if’s were enough Is it, is it a fit of angst we see Is it a bit the fear of failure It is as if we gave up It’s like we lack nothing Kind of kind and so mind numbing It’s kind of like losing touch And I can’t find me inside I hide in an empty smile And I have left me behind In words that aren’t mine The scene, the scene - the screen’s endless In style in style... check out my new stress I’ve seen this stream – did I ditto that? Like I really care! Pretend pretend life’s a bluescreen upload dreams in your B-movie its kinda like life - but not And I can’t find me inside I hide in an empty smile And I have left me behind In words that aren’t mine |

Scissor Paper Rock I’m river and I’m stone I shiver but I know I’m young but oh so old Played scissor paper rock I’d run till I was caught Games end but nothing stops The rocks will turn to dust The scissor starts to rust The ink will fade with us. A lily builds a home It grows inside my bones Been there since I was born You can brood by a brook And whisper to water Don’t worry, the dawn will dry your tears See the daylight as it flows It fills the holes… and souls grow whole You can moan to the moon You can swoon in the sunset Don’t hurry, your world won’t disappear See the waves that drape the shore They fill the holes …and souls grow whole and old I’m drifting towards the end The sand keeps closing in But water turns the bend The trees reach for the sky The roots begin to dry A nest becomes a shrine A way Away I found a way away … and sailed beyond the waves of pain No Jonah in my sea, no whale to hide inside these days I’ve lost my sky Feels I was born just to die here Born in a dry well Lie here till one day I’m swallowed by time. Stars no longer shine, faith has left us far behind We have no more signs, and all our seers are blind Lost in the night, Once love was with me but I left The sea turned violent We crucify all the lights we can find. Born to be silent Bored and misguided We simplify all the mystery of life But sometimes hearts begin to stir And in my head a notion whirls As all I know becomes a blur My words fill my world |
