Open your eyes it’s time to begin Open your eyes and take it all in I lit the re and cast away stones I heard the thieves’ muttering moans Only the lonely will fall from grace No more an only child to embrace I never told you before, but I’m a believer For you I carry the cross and a crown of thorns I never asked for more – you’re the only one For you I’d die by the sword, die by your hand Tonight I will dance close to the flame Tonight there’s no sinners, there is no blame You have me down on my knees

Wake me up when the sun sets in the ocean Wake me up when I’m tearful as hell Wake me up when I am not all broken Wake me up when you think you can tell I see you walk towards the door I see you put your new boots on – then you’re gone In the frozen hills we will ride through the night Seeing nothing but white When the morning arrives We will still be spending our lives going into the wild – chasing rivers Wake me up when it’s all over Wake me up when I am coming to a standstill Wake me up when I am bolder Wake me up when I am bursting with goodwill

Take my hand, come with me Let me take you away to a special place where we can stay By the raging sea I came I was washed ashore where I had not been before Look me in the eyes Do you see what you came for? Would you like to see more? Hey now we´re leaving ground – I am spellbound Once I was lost now I´m found – I am spellbound I followed the song of the wind Tunes floating away, voices humming through the bay In the woods I heard the tunes Now, I will share them with you, let them guide your way through When you see lanterns leading way Bridging out over sea and land Do you see what you came for? Would you like to see more?

Let it be sung and let it be said I live in the dark and drink with the dead I lie to my son I lie to my man I live off scraps and sleep in a van Never will I let you down The reasons why I hide will stay unknown Until I’m gone You will find a better way Let tales be told, find voices to sing When I am gone Fill in the void, let sinners escape I’m ready for wine, to take on a new shape Finally I found my promised land It’s all in my blood where the toxic is canned I haven’t seen daylight in a long time I wait for an angel to look my way I haven’t seen daylight in a long time I see no lanterns in the sky

In a boat by the harbour came the man, he tracked me down He said, give me a good reason to say no I could think of a million different reasons, but anyhow I decided to let him stay for now I knew the stories of where he´d been And the patterns I should have seen Oh, if I may I´d do it all again Down by the harbour hearts trade Oh, if you ask I’ll do it all again Down by the harbour dreams fade, dreams fade away Finding ways out of this maze became harder than I thought In an alley in the dark I let it slip If there only could be someone, just a single, friendly voice I would never ask for more than just a sip With my head held high and morals low I quietly join the show

I was holding on to my Father’s hand He was made for something special and grand He would bend his knees to kiss my forehead And tell me to recall what he said Please, look after Mother you are her only one You’ll be all she´s got now that I am gone As the evening falls I can see the lights Coming from afar Soon winter calls I will see you again As evening falls I remember the day the call came Trying not to hear when they spoke my name Days passed I knew what I had to say Still I hoped to see him standing in the doorway

What if everything was a game to you What if everybody else always knew I would never be the first to know Though, I had a doubt and I felt it grow Oh, when the river’s running wild I’ve always known, since I was a child If time was my friend I’d find you again – saviour, saviour I never escaped, a captive to the end – saviour, saviour What if everything was a game to me What if all I said was a means to be free You would never be the first to know I would never tell, simply let go Saviour, saviour saviour, saviour

You say your mind is made up You’ll be leaving us today I see your eyes are filled with sorrow and pain But, you will not change your mind There is music you should hear It’s the sound of your heartbeat Your were my light, my destiny Now, I’m begging at your feet Thunder roaring in my head Nothing will ever be the same There will be dark clouds in the clearest sky Will I ever understand My love, my love, my love

If you want to run I’ll tell you where to go I’ll tell you where to hide If you want to stay I won’t be in your way This time I have learned I won’t let you down I’ll shine a light, I’ll shine a light I’ll shine a light, I’ll shine a light For you tonight I’ll shine a light, I’ll shine a light I’ll shine a light, I’ll shine a light When yours fades out When we part ways If you want to hide, your cover will be safe I will wipe your tracks out If you come home – you’ll always have a home You’ll be in my heart Some of the turns you make are sure to lead you astray Some of the promises you break you will regret one day

First time you saw me, you´d never have guessed I was homeless I would try to make you think better of me You would always know I was hiding the truth Waiting for me to confess Aching for it, never pulling out Until I cried like a baby It made you turn around knowing that you had won My heart sunk like a stone Swallowed right there, pulled under water Without strength it shivers alone Finding a hole in the ground Where silence is the only sound I was never scared of running, I ran so fast Faster even than the boys Still you kept on pushing
