Across the Dark

Feed off the melancholy Get drunk from despair Rejoice in the name of failure Deliverance found in pain Live, learn and love Treasure all the colours Even in the thick of night Daylight holds sway

O darkness, if in thy arms I could rest For a while and with these earthly eyes See thy dim smile Maid of twilight, lass of duskfall Hang the Moon on the sky's arch Soothe the weight of a darkling day Croon me inte the slumber: Rock here in the birch's lap swing in the manor of wind Lay down your weary head Let the blue stars darken O silence, if in thy cradle I could sway Like a child, hear the amending song The sighing of the shades Maid of twilight, lass of duskfall Sevre thy goblet to me Let me drink to the last drop The sweet opiate of dreams: Ours is the silence The echo of ageless night A gleam in the blackest of streams One fleeing moment For vain is all the toil and trouble Vain is all the heartbreak In the end I'll find my solace In an earthen cradle So good night

(Music: Sevänen & Friman, Lyrics: Sevänen) This I have learnt: World forces all of us down the fleeing years bend our backs love but smears our hearts Here I now lie still like a broken bow soul sullen and rigid with the will to die sighing after the days long since gone cursing every step on this ill-fated trail "In vain I try (to forget) - In vain I try to (to forgive) Black bird from evening sky - Raven from heaths of night come and take my cares - carry away the grief bereave me of my new woes - rend off these earthly throes fly them to deepest lakes - to the starlit shores" This I have learnt: even the sweetest wine turns sour we work our fingers to the bone all our efforts of no avail Here we all are but troubled guests on darkling earth lost echoes that pine away into the dusk nothing more than the wind to rely on nothing more than the death to comfort us in the end This I have heard: all ends in serene sleep all these sorrows are washed away as we lapse into the night But I know it`s a lie

(Music & Lyrics: Friman) And down we go again... into the ocean of sorrow towards the sea of despair in the deep grooves of the death lifeline running in roaring stream "Like sand slipping through my fingers nothing ever lasts, ever will" "To impart elegance all living experience the grandeur in giving felicity found in commitment tranquillity in mere being" And down we go again under the relentless wawes into the arms of calm breakers into bayou of forgotten dreams Like sand slipping through my fingers nothing ever lasts, ever will "To impart elegance all living experience the grandeur in giving from existence into oblivion not in cycles, but in lines" Getting nowhere fast by contending with time accept the alteration come to terms with your days Down we go just the same into the ocean of sorrow towards the sea of despair This river runs relentlessly and this river runs deep not in cycles, but in lines

(Music: Sevänen & Friman, Lyrics: Sevänen) (I...) I sing with a shattered voice (I...) I sing with a heavy heart There in the deepest well of dreams echoed a distant song I hearkened to the hallowed voice stirred from ageless sleep Through this barren soil you came sweet scent of spring came and cast the earth in bloom lent your light to me But now the summer`s dreams are bent like grain against the scythe and memories of blissful days they fall like leaves For autumn`s songs are made of loss of yearning and regret in bitter tone they are recited uttered with a heavy heart "I sing with a shattered voice a tale made of marred souls I cry for consumed hearts and springs forever gone" The light of sun and stars will fade and moon covers it`s face all the tunes will quiet down and the songs shall die As this wretched heart unfolds like mouth of furnace grins inside there`s but a blackened cell full of filth and flames There once was time when I resounded by your side There once was time when I trembled under your eyes What do I hear when you`re gone ? the wind`s harrowing cry what do I hear when you`re gone ? the sighing of the languid grief cold creeps in, silver crowns the land long are the evenings now, grave the guilt´s weight stars shriek their emptiness in the darkling sky all the world is but a barrow shrounded in white

(Music: Friman, Lyrics: Vänni) Now close your eyes and open your weary hearts let me soothe away the woes of fiendish world... As will the sun bathe the land in its warming light so shall the moon ascend to guide the day to wane in turn the rain to hush the tumult of this world and the wind to rise, sigh a lullaby in trees "Not in these troubled times I`m not the one you pined for no, not into calmer waters I`m not-the one you long for" "But a scarecrow, an anathema to the world looking in from the outside it`s time to turn my back, walk off the beaten path seek heartening in solitude" The arc of sky is roof where I call it home drizzle of rain the only music from now on my bed is made from juniper`s boughs of mire and moss my pillow Lone footprints diverge from tree line autumn veils the sloughs with rime shell of quagmire yet too fragile to bear a man

Nothing can offer content Nothing can ease the pain Nothing can wear off the sorrow One is born to bear within While your world is woth of trying My world is mere cold No chance in disillusion Only the end of the road Man weighed down with sorrow Anguished from the sole being Destined to live with uneasiness Always the hard way Cold is the world For the ones excluded Dark is the path In the absence of light Compelled to cherish beauty in longing Cling on love amidst of the suffering No chance in disillusion No, not in this world Not for a man Weighed down with sorrow Only the end of the road
