Håp

"Håp"

Det er ikke meg å feile, kun det menneskelige
i oss alle. For vert liv som går tapt må at
nytt bli skapt for å bevare sjelen i oss alle.
For etterhvert som tiden går og du omsider
forstår at du ikke er dømt til å gå
veien alene, vil du også se at selv om
det er tungt er livet fyllt med mye
håp og glede.

Thought

"Thought"

Dedicated to: Connie Malen Moen

I flowered my bliss with the reflection of your smile
i drowned my sorrow in the gaze of your eyes
With your hand you lift me to the sky
but now that your gone my soul seems to die

I try to keep these feelings out
but the harder i try i just start to cry
For every tear that drops from my eyes
i know that with you i shall forever be proud.

You took my hand and led me to light
and you dropped it and left me in doubt
I sat all alone and wondered why
you left me alone in the blistering cold.

But now that i realize that you will never be mine
I'm telling myself that it's not worth the try
I still keep on shining in your glittering smile
wondering how i could ever make you mine.

But if i ever could feel just a glint of your love
i would keep it forever in the warmth of my soul
To hold on to a feeling that would make me fly
i know that for this i would gladly die.

After all these years my feelings to day
would change in an instant if i saw you again
Because i can't see the answer to a question that drives me away
Would i have ever known love if i never meet you that day.

Mortal Darkness

"Mortal Darkness"
Dedicated to: Connie Malen Moen

Total darkness surrounding me like
a gust of wind from nothingness,
saying nothing of the sorrow behind.

The voice in my head is coming back,
whispering words like razors through flesh.

Helpless that i am,
im falling like the mortal i am,
wounded by the dagger that you can't remove,
leaving nothing but an everlasting wound.

Light

"Light"
Dedicated to: Anita Kristine Olsen

From the deepest corners of my mind i seem
to find everything that i left behind, all
the words i didn't dare to say, and all the
grief that makes me fail

In these dark halls im bound to walk, with
nothing but a ghost to whom i walk. And when
i was just about to give in, you came and touched
me with something real and showed me that even
i am able to feel.

With your tears you shed light
in the shades and my ghost seems to fade, and with the sound of
your voice i slide back in to the light from which you came.

Transparent

"Transparent"

Here i am down on my knees confused
of how i feel, like a child drowned in tears,
like a person struck with fear.

They say 'hey you might feel sad and that
is fine' but whatever reason i don't know why.

Cause whenever my pain is for the world
to see, there is no one to see the lost child
in me.

Ole Morten Støbakk

Wicked

"Wicked"

Wicked are thee that pries on the emotions in me,
forcing me to feel things that don't belong in me.

Wicked are thee that brings out the pain in me,
cruelty and anger that dwells in the deep.

The wicked shall perish and free me of my dreams,
i shall linger in my sorrows and remain being me.
