Below the Lights

I close my eyes As fire swept clean the earth Nothing left to strangle As the cords were torn from our hearts "Tired I blew out my last warning, the claws were ripping me apart" As we emerged From darker dungeons Splendor of yellow hells Expanded swollen eyes No words were said As fire swept clean the earth Would the mothers be crying? If they saw torches in our hands? "The wind, once able to conquer, captured as fire swept clean the earth" A kiss was placed Upon my cheek And all color came back Melting in solid blue tune

The Juggler stares To quench the thirst Upon the brow Within the hand It cracks and seeps The seer weeps In flickering light The wounds are served Screams from below A shadow in chains Feverish images told In mirrors of old The eyes they all share In this tragic court An empty seat The river runs dry Nothing said Words in red Behold the druid As the stones fall Known aloud turned Backwards around Reverse the loss This never was

I no longer struggle No longer see Nothing remains, burning anxiety Darkness came forth Gave birth to me Certain death is all I see I see you weep I see you suffer I’ve seen kingdoms rise and fall I’ve seen all that’s supposed to be Earthbound forces, united with sorrow The path was given in ancient times Embraced by hunger, forgotten by will The wisdom is hold up still Break the chains, come forth to see Cross the abyss not meant to be Cross the river, find the key Kill the queen of anxiety

Across the scorched fields of fathers land In each step an abyss is built Through misty dreams he touched her hand The boar is dead Its blood is spilt He set his foot on the slopes of far away They’d been asleep when his sun roared He walked through night, walked through day Landless mourning lord "Why should we let you by?" The road is blocked by men of three "If you need ask, you already know" They said to let him pass, to leave him be At the shores of sorrow How far he’d come (to see her eyes) (After) Moons and more moons He’d be there tomorrow "And I would travel across the water To where she lies” On the sea of solitude he rows The winds howl her name, he has no fears Tired and smiling he falls, downwards he goes There she is, waiting after all these years

"Dei for ifra nord Mot ei anna tid Bak låg brende ord Framfor dei ei ny strid Dei såg såg stormar i det fjerne Men haldt fram og beint Inn mot jordas kjerne Frå tidleg mot seint" I see a darkness overwhelming I see that there is no light for me I don’t care if it leaves me blind I don’t care if I’m left behind I see a white horse’s head I see it’s dead stare fixed at me I do not fear its eyes Curse myself, return it twice I see walls to high to climb I see nothing on the other side I should have roamed another space I should have been another place *"Dei daue gror opp av havet og ropar så sårt mot land. Dei ropar bak alle skuter, som kavar seg tungt forbi" * I am among ghosts when I should rest I cannot tell the worlds apart I do not heed the words they say There is no dream of another day I hear a silence, deafening Drowning the deserts, that is my destiny I no longer wish to see The threads they’ve spun for me. "Dei for ifra nord Mot ei anna tid Bak låg brende ord Framfor dei ei ny strid Dei såg såg stormar i det fjerne Men haldt fram og beint Inn mot jordas kjerne Frå tidleg mot seint"

Pallid it hangs In awe of amusement Litany swarm Bleak I say are the crutches of the assembly And flies cling to it More so ever the fingers to animate Insubordinate, fickle exequies Putrid core Naudr... the ligature it can’t break Lagu... the whispers it can’t hear Insubordinate, fickle exequies Putrid core "Er du halt kan du ri Handlaus gjeta Er du dauv kan du duga i strid Blind er betre enn brend å vera Daud mun ein lite duga" Slain, and thoughts pour from the gutted mind. ”Ver kappi mot kristni Ver kappi mot kross Ver kappi mot Hvitrkristr VER VANN VER VANN VER VANN” "Er du halt kan du ri Handlaus gjeta Er du dauv kan du duga i strid Blind er betre enn brend å vera Daud mun ein lite duga" NAUDR...

Behind the walls Below the lights If you came upon a door If you came to push it open If your eyes could see within this dark Your heart would flee Nails and blood Painted by delirium You would feel the empty stare From a darker place Silent screams From ages in the void Desperation The voices fill your ears Head back into the light Never to return This dream will haunt you From a darker place Behind the walls Below the lights
