Darkland

(Music: Stein, Lyrics: Kirsten) Far into the distance lies the land that I long for Where my blood runs like a river, I have to cross Every breath, How it pains me Patiently waiting for the Raven Goddess to come I'll free you from your wings Now fall When all fails I'll be here To embrace you Your blood is my river Crossing you over Send me into a dreamless sleep Nightmares cease while my vessel rots away away Nothing can penetrate this numbing stillness Where I lie and wait for life The pale winter mistress collecting the lost souls where the unfortunate ones must go The pale winter mistress collecting the lost souls where the unfortunate ones must go Fall to the ground and beg for mercy She'll break your wings and let you fall Enter the Darkland There you'll find me Follow the raven I'll sit by my stone I'll free you from your wings Now fall When all fails I'll be here To embrace you Your blood is my river Crossing you over Send me into a dreamless sleep Nightmares cease while my vessel rots away away Nothing can penetrate this numbing stillness Where I lie and wait for life The pale winter mistress collecting the lost souls where the unfortunate ones must go The pale winter mistress collecting the lost souls where the unfortunate ones must go

(Music & Lyrics: Stein) Føl vinden av nåttås kall Ein søken, ein evige strid Når dagen visne, og mørke fange mitt sinn Et bilde av deg, brent i nåttås slør I drømmar, kor livet dør Ein frihet, øve det som ein gång va Ein evige søvn, kor smerten blekne bort Mitt savn, mi sjel I mitt indra, et nakent sinn Fanga i sjelås råe favn I mitt mørke, ein falma drøm Ei evige kvila, dødens savn I drømmar om stillhet To skyggar smeltes t ett Smeltes t ett Ein vandring, langs tomme stiar Uten håp, uten fred døden, ein følgesvenn, tar mi hånd og vise vei, inn t si havn I mitt indra, et nakent sinn Sart som nåttås evige skygge I mitt mørke, ein falma drøm Ei evige kvila, dødens savn I mitt indra, et nakent sinn Fanga i sjelås råe favn I mitt mørke, ein falma drøm Ei evige kvila, dødens savn

(Music: Stein, Lyrics: Kirsten) Take me now and I promise forever My obsession, my darkest fear I have suffered enough My dearest, my love I can't stay here any longer I have lingered long enough Waiting for you My dearest, my love Again and again I've pleaded Begged for you to grant my wish A lifelong dream of you until the end Come now my love Finally I feel no pain, no life Greet me like my dreams I pray it will last Alone in life I face this path I welcome every step towards the dark A shadow I will no longer cast Only a faded memory of the past How I've waited for this moment I don't ever want to leave You mend the broken pieces of me Again and again I've pleaded Begged for you to grant my wish A lifelong dream of you until the end Come now my love Finally I feel no pain, no life Greet me like my dreams I pray it will last Alone in life I face this path I welcome every step towards the dark A shadow I will no longer cast Only a faded memory of the past I open my arms to you my daughter It's been a long time coming This time we will make it last This time I will embrace you heart The last drops of your blood It shall live in me forever

(Music: Stein, Lyrics: Kirsten) You are nothing, yet you are, everything to me Cold winter nights, kill me slowly I welcome every breath, it brings me Closer to the end, to nothingness Settling waters, that run deeper, and deeper I close my eyes and drown in my sleep You breathe me, you leave me I fade, I die again This is what I deserve You breathe me, you leave me I fade, I die again This is what I deserve Here in the dark, this is where I belong Never afraid, but tired of feeling Murmurs of a past, I'm listening I can't help but hear your whispers You breathe me, you leave me I fade, I die again This is what I deserve You breathe me, you leave me I fade, I die again This is what I deserve This is what I deserve

(Music: Stein, Lyrics: Kirsten) Her kor snøen lave ner, kvile mennesket i fred Ein stille søvn som vare for all evighet Her kor snøen lande mjukt, dysses barnergråt og frykt La tankar synka ner i jupet uten slutt Dynk mi tro i syndeflod, fornekt mi sjel..... i et oppdikta spel....... Love gull å grønne skogar, hellig liv t evig tid, døyv di frykt for støv ska du bli Sjelelaus e eg så vie mitt liv t synder å tvil Sjelelaus e eg så kjenne eg leve, uten å angra, uten å dvela Sjelelaus e eg så e fri fra lenkår så smis Sjelelaus står eg imot dei så dele ut frelsa og bot Der kor tankar blir t liv, dør all meining så di gir Kor all verdi blir målt i alt det me kan gi Hvis dei ser tebake på årås løp vil dei forstå At nøklen dei har blødd og streva for e vår Dynk mi tro i syndeflod, fornekt mi sjel..... i et oppdikta spel....... Love gull å grønne skogar, hellig liv t evig tid, døyv di frykt for støv ska du bli Sjelelaus e eg så vie mitt liv t synder å tvil Sjelelaus e eg så kjenne eg leve, uten å angra, uten å dvela Sjelelaus e eg så e fri fra lenkår så smis Sjelelaus står eg imot dei så dele ut frelsa og bot Nå kan du sjå ka du har kasta vekk livet på, ein himmel og et helvete Som ingen noggen gång vil nå

(Music & Lyrics: Stein) Darkness impales my soul The sight, for my blinded eyes I heard the lament craving my return Doomed to walk the earth Craving for darkness in man I am the fallen, the wanderer Burning the shadows of time I am the end The darkened sky will burn away the sun Torment for my earthly flesh Forever, I will wander Alone into shadows Craving for darkness in man I am the fallen, the wanderer Burning the shadows of time I am the end Craving for darkness in man I am the fallen, the wanderer Burning the shadows of time I am the end

(Music: Stein, Lyrics: Kirsten & Stein) Within the cold eclipse Archaic beauty is captive Peel from the old memories Blind my eyes and make me love you In dust and shadows Of forgotten dreams I'll let you believe You mean more to me Than the stars in the skies And all the withered leaves I'll be the goddess in your dim light Binding your heart with lies Devil in the doorway Pouring teardrops into our skies A hero decayed Jewel to my eyes Dripping sadness You are my addiction A hero decayed Jewel to my eyes Dripping sadness You are my addiction A river of tears To fill my withered winter garden I cover the snow white roses A river of tears In your withered winter garden I cover the snow white roses With red tears from my eyes Flames devoured And left us in ruin A pale wasteland Covered in ashes Within the cold eclipse Archaic beauty is captive Peel from the old memories Blind my eyes and make me love you In dust and shadows Of forgotten dreams I'll let you believe You mean more to me Than the stars in the skies And all the withered leaves A hero decayed Jewel to my eyes Dripping sadness You are my addiction A hero decayed Jewel to my eyes Dripping sadness You are my addiction A hero decayed Jewel to my eyes Dripping sadness You are my addiction A hero decayed Jewel to my eyes Dripping sadness You are my addiction

(Music: Stein, Lyrics: Kirsten) We would whisper tales of better days No one but us could hear Gone with the winter breeze, swept away Frozen tears with fear for you Lay me down now leave me here to fade No one but you can hear Touch the ghost of an ardent lover Child of the cold blood heart How can I reach? Pull you out from under Make you see your lifeline Tied up to mine Drown me in your sadness If it makes you stay here longer Without you I'm nothing Hear my calls They'll draw you closer Draw you closer I'm down on my knees You feed of my sin I loathe what I've become You feed of my sin I will never let it wither away Only you could see me through Trust the night to bring me back again All my faith has gone with you How can I reach? Pull you out from under Make you see your lifeline Tied up to mine Drown me in your sadness If it makes you stay here longer Without you I'm nothing Hear my calls They'll draw you closer Draw you closer I'm down on my knees You feed of my sin I loathe what I've become You feed of my sin I'm down on my knees You feed of my sin I loathe what I've become You feed of my sin

(Music: Stein, Lyrics: Kirsten & Stein) I'm floating away To find my innocence I'm drifting away To find my peace Arrow to coal Burns through the soul Wither away Summer to fall In my weakness I let you see through me You felt my warm skin and left me cold Desperately searching in the dark for you Breathe new life in me Take me back and un-dream this nightmare Forsake this bitter land and have me taste you once more Find me Howling storm strangles my call Tears fall for thee Embrace the dark in me Wash me away I'll find my peace Sinking so deep I watch the mourners weep My grave cold and bleak Forevermore In my weakness I let you see through me You felt my warm skin and left me cold Desperately searching in the dark for you Breathe new life in me Take me back and un-dream this nightmare Forsake this bitter land and have me taste you once more Find me Howling storm strangles my call Water so pure Coarse through the soul Wash me ashore Wash me ashore I'm floating away To find my innocence I'm drifting away To find my peace In my weakness I let you see through me You felt my warm skin and left me cold Desperately searching in the dark for you Breathe new life in me Take me back and un-dream this nightmare Forsake this bitter land and have me taste you once more Find me Howling storm strangles my call Requiem aeterna dona eis, et lux perpetua luceat eis, Exaudi orationem meam; ad te omnis caro veniet. Requiem aeternam dona eis, et lux perpetua luceat eis. (translation of Latin text) Eternal rest grant unto them and let perpetual light shine upon them. Hear my prayer; to you shall all flesh come. Eternal rest grant unto them, and let perpetual light shine upon them. The stillness and the cold Draws me into shadows torn Wasted tears for me Still whispers within The emptiness won't let go Wandering towards the precious unknown I'm longing for the dark cold silence To take hold of my soul This is the end of me This is the end of me I dream of escaping this life The void you filled, I never gave up I'm longing for the dark cold silence To take hold hold of my soul Lonely wanderer, in shadow's grasp Headed for the Darkland I'll be Where dreamless nights are forever I'm waiting for the end This is the end This is the end of me Lonely wanderer, in shadow's grasp Headed for the Darkland I'll be Where dreamless nights are forever I'm waiting for the end This is the end This is the end This is the end of me
