Moonlight!
A lantern of pale eternity
Slowly arises
The only witness to my journey…

All Alone
03:30
|

All alone I was walking through the meadows
All alone I was drifting by the shore
But the seabed was dry
Made a desert by the tide
And the flowers were torn by a storm
All alone I was searching for a melody
All alone I was searching for a song
But a cold wind arose
And it stole away the notes
‘Til the night time lay void of all sound
Listen to the music within you
Listen to the beat of your heart
Let your spirit go…
You’ll never be alone anymore
All alone you were waiting for discovery
All alone you were playing in the dark
Then the whispering wind
Lent you refuge on her wings
Now you’re here, she has brought you to me
As long as you’re breathing
There’s a story to be told
And now I’ve found you

The smallest creature ever seen
Little troll so sad and grey
He sat upon his house of stone
And dreamt about the world beyond
“I wish someone could take me away”
The Northern wind one autumn day
Came flying by his windowpane
“Oh Northern wind, oh help me please,
I’m stuck here in this stony heap!”
And she whirled around as she said:
Come, follow me
To where the river meets the sea
Come fly with me
Over mountains and valleys
Where the Ancient is present
In the very air you breathe
As we dance in the flower fields
They fly together ever since
The little troll upon her wings
And so forever since that day
The north wind bears a streak of grey
And she whirled around as she said...
Come, follow me
To where the river meets the sea
Come fly with me
Over mountains and valleys
Where the Ancient is present
In the very air you breathe
I can show you lands
where the summer is never over
There we can visit on the vision of a dream
As we dance in the flower fields
Come, follow me to where the river meets the sea
Come fly…

Embrace the Cold
03:00
|
|||
|
When the sun disappears beneath the ocean
And every colour will slowly fade to blue
These are the dark days
These are the dark times
They’re unlike everything you had been told
I watch your dark gowns unfold into evernight
I bid you welcome
‘Cause I embrace the cold
Through the clouds a single ray of moonlight
The stars entwining silver threads above
These are the dark days
These are the dark times
They’re unlike everything you had been told
I watch your dark gowns unfold into evernight
I bid you welcome
‘Cause I embrace the cold
These are the dark days
These are the dark times
She said,
“They’re unlike everything you had been told”
I watch your dark gowns unfold into evernight
I bid you welcome
‘Cause I embrace the cold

Each serpent has to shed its skin
Or else, the reptile risks to choke
And all corruption held within,
one fleeting moment, shows
Hatred
May darkness enclose you
Envy
May old age erode you
May your mem’ry be covered by cobweb and dust
May your memory wither and rust
Farewell to thee, unfaithful soul
Farewell to thee, begone!
Your words are like a desert wind
You’re howling at the void alone
Hatred
May darkness enclose you
Envy
May old age erode you
May your mem’ry be covered by cobweb and dust
May your memory wither and rust
Helpless victim of your own lies
Jump right into the lion’s mouth
Cast your gauntlet and you will see
How I land upon my feet
Hatred
May darkness enclose you
Envy
May old age erode you
May your mem’ry be covered by cobweb and dust
May your memory wither and rust
“Acclinis falsis animus meliora recusat”

Dream of Daylight
05:38
|

|
Hush, hush, go to bed
No more stories now
Lay down your head, hush
Drift away
Night has fallen
But you can dream of daylight
The beauty of every summer evening’s haze
The frailty of every rainbow we would chase
Do you remember how we only lived to play?
It’s still there for you
If you just close your eyes
Hush, hush, stay awake
No more words, my love
Lay down your head, hush
Slip away
Darkness is fallen
But you must dream of daylight
The beauty of every summer evening’s haze
The frailty of every rainbow we would chase
Do you remember how we only lived to play?
It’s still there for you
If you just close your eyes

Breathe in the Night
03:45
|
|||
|
Look up to the sky
Black clouds passing by
A lonely satellite lights up the night
What I’m looking for
The warden of my soul
Tales of ancient love
Beyond Orion
Feel the world revolve tonight
Breathe in the night
Creatures of the night
Creeping up in sight
Winged, they all take flight
to dance in the meadows
They never realized
Where this secret garden lies
Silent and disguised,
Bathing in starlight
Feel the world revolve tonight
Breathe in the night

Dance of the Fairies
02:59
|
|||

A wanderer, one autumn morn
Came riding by a field of thorns
As mist around him rose and fell
With voices, soft as silver bells
“Come dance with us! Come dance”, they sang
And tied him with their silver bands
“Come dance with us! Come dance”, they said
“Within our circle now you must stay”
“Oh maidens fair, I cannot stay
Oh keep your bands, for I must away
I cannot stay with you”, he cried
“I must away to meet my bride”
Around around the circle warped
Seven times and then seven more
Around around the circle ran
Twenty-one cycles of the moon
And twenty-one cycles of the sun
A wanderer, one autumn morn
Came riding by a field of thorns
Alas, but as he walked away
His hair had all but turned to grey

Aeternam Vale

Aeternam vale
Pulvis et umbra sumus
Nascentem morium
Sic transit gloria nostri
Där är du
På väg att lämna oss
och här är jag
För nån måste bli kvar
Tystnad fyller alla vrår
Tomhet kommer,
Tomhet går
Dina spår
över den vita drivan
där du gått
Än dröjer minnet blott
Tystnad fyller alla vrår
Tomhet kommer,
Tomhet går
Aeternam vale
Pulvis et umbra sumus
Nascentem morium
Sic transit gloria nostri
