Dead lyrics


Kari RueslÄtten


[I'm coming in]
Kom som du er
inn fra kulden
Kom inn til meg
sa kan du hore at det hviskes i natten
Om det som var og det som skulle bli
Kom som en drom
inn i min sovn
Du har nok v?rt her
Du har nok sett meg for og holdt om mitt ansikt
Ror meg na sa husker du mitt navn
Jeg kan finne tusen mater a lokke deg til meg pa
Eller jeg kan samle mot og finne veien inn selv
Jeg vil bare ha en a fortelle alt jeg tenker til
og jeg vil at den skal v?re deg
Jeg har sett deg komme inn fra vinteren som meg
Jeg har sett deg soke ut for sa a soke hjem
Jeg vil bare synge alt som engang var
Jeg kommer inn
[ENGLISH]
Come as you are
in from the cold
Come in to me
so you can hear the whispers in the night
About what was and what was supposed to be
Come as a dream
into my sleep
I reckon you've been here
I reckon you've seen me before and caressed my face
Touch me now and you'll remember my name
I can find a thousand ways to lure you to me
Or I can summon my courage and find the path in on my own
I just want someone to tell all my thoughts to
and I want that someone to be you
I've seen you come in from the winter as I have
I've seen you try leaving for only to seek home
I simply want to sing all that used to be
I'm coming in

There was this girl
that I just had to be and
There was this world
that I just had to see but
I could not get away
I could not run away no
I could not get away but still
She was not scared
she knew wich [sic] way to go and
If she just dared
She would succeed and so
she wanted it to be
a special hide-away and
she wanted it to be secret
I'm happy, amused and aware
of everything waiting for me out there
I'm happy, amused and aware
I don't need guidance - my vision is clear
And so she swam
across the raging sea and
now she is gone
and all I see is myself
I wanted it to be
a special hide-away and
I wanted it to be secret
All I can do is breath in
All I can do is begin
And I can see that I am not alone
All I can do is breath in
All I can do is begin
And I can see I am not the only one

Where streetlamps go to die
is where we will find our love - no reason my
I love you this much
nothing as such - don't ask me why
If I close my eyes and start counting all the lies
- I wish I'd die
I'm wishing all the best - I hope you pass the test
at least you could try
I've never liked sleeping alone
But sleeping with you is like coming home
I've never liked loosing control
But when I'm with you that's what's making me whole
When you breath in my hair - the love we share
I can't believe this fear I have inside
of not staying true to the images of you
I wish that I could go - and never let me know
what you have done
I could live my life, and carry all my pride
believing I won
I can't believe this fear I have inside
of staying true to the images of you

[The forest's gown]
Jeg vevde i stillhet og jeg vevde i sang
i mitt hus der langt mot nord
Med en hage av villskap og berusende klang
spant jeg mine ord
Jeg lyttet til vinden og jeg forte min trad,
med en nal fra regnbuens hand
Og til sist nar jeg stod der med kjolen pa,
ble jeg loftet av skogens and
Og kommer du ut forbi mitt hus engang
Skal du hore at jeg synger din sang
Og du vet du har et sted du kan ga
Nar du har skogens kjole pa
Jeg b?rer min kjole med stolthet og fryd,
da kjenner jeg at jeg er fri
Og nar jeg lytter til regndrapers lyd,
onsker jeg det var vi
Som danset av glede der ute i det bla,
selv om regnet oste ned
Vi er en av samme med skogens kjole pa,
og det tror jeg alle kan se
Og kommer du ut forbi mitt hus en gang
Skal du hore at jeg synger min sang
Og du vet du har et sted du kan ga
Nar du har skogens kjole pa
Og kommer du ut forbi mitt hus en gang
Horer du at jeg synger din sang
Vet du at du har et sted du kan ga
Nar du har skogens kjole pa
[ENGLISH]
I wove in silence and I wove in song
in my house far up north
With a garden of wildness and merry sound
spun I my words
I listened to the wind and guided my thread,
with a needle from the rainbow's hand
And finally when I stood there with the gown on,
I was lifted by the forest's spirit.
And if you come by my house some time
You shall hear me singing your song
And you know you've got a place to go
When you're wearing the forest's gown
I wear my gown with pride and joy,
and I feel I am free
And when I listen to the sound of raindrops,
I wish it were we
Who danced in joy out there in the

behind my new face
i'm the same as i've always been
wondering how you are
if i am your mother still
i'm wearing the denim dress
and my hair is the same way
i want you to remember
and to keep me alive
this time of year
i'd give my life to live
out there with you
and watch you smile in your sleep
i see you across the room
i fear that i cannot even breathe
oh gosh, how you have grown
you're nearly as tall as myself
i want everyone to notice
just how proud you make me feel
instead i say nothing
and then you head for the door

Can I kiss you though I'm leaving
Can I show I care?
Can I hold you like the first time
though you know I won't be there?
I will paint my wings with beautiful things
and whisper words in the night
I will come around and bring what I found
when I went to look for the sea
Nothing withers, it just shivers in the wind
Can you find it in your heart
to one day forgive me?
I never meant to cause you sorrow
I always meant for you to see
But when seasons call your name
And cover all your grief
You will find that you don't think of me
as often as you once did

If I were to live
on Balcony Boulevard
My feet wouldn't touch the ground
But what if I fell down?
Would you see mee from the top
Would you see me waking up
I'd never go astray
but then, you'd find me anyway
Would I miss my beloved moss-covered stones
the woods I once called home?
Would I still dream the dream of you?
The ghost you see - it's only me
I am no longer free
If I fall, I fall alone
but if I fall for you, fall for you

[As of me]
Som av meg
Som ild i har
var du her
Jeg kunne v?rt alt du er,
alt du var, og alt du ville bli
Alle morke tanker ville vike i vart liv
jeg skulle elsket deg, skulle gitt deg mitt blod
Og om du ville hadde jeg levd for deg
Som av meg
Som ild i har
var du her
Jeg kunne v?rt alt du er,
alt du var, og alt du ville bli
Fantes det en evighet, sa var den til for oss
Jeg skulle ha sett for deg nar solen sank i hav
Og om du ville hadde jeg dodd for deg
Om jeg ser tilbake
pa alt det som var
Jeg foler hva jeg folte og vet at ingen noen gang
vil komme sa n?r
Som av meg
Som ild i har
var du her
Jeg kunne v?rt alt du er,
alt du var, og alt du ville bli
Tiden skulle bli en venn vi begge fant igjen
Men nar jeg ser deg ga na, vil jeg den skal ga med deg
Og viske ut den veien vi hadde lagt ut pa
[ENGLISH]
As of me
As fire in hair
were you here
I could have been all you are,
all you were, and all you wanted to be
All dark thoughts would yield in our life
I should have loved you, should have given you my blood
And if you wanted, I would have lived for you
As of me
As fire in hair
were you here
I could have been all you are,
all you were, and all you wanted to be
Were there an eternity, then it was there for us
I should have seen you when the sun set in the sea
And if you wanted, I would have died for you
If I look back
at all that used to be
I feel what I felt and I know that no one
will ever come quite so close
As of me
As fire in hair
were you here
I could have been all you are,
all you were, and all you

[In the Moon's embrace]
Fall for meg na inatt
vinn min vilje, vinn min hand
Uten deg kan jeg ei leve
Ta deg i akt, min trolldomsmakt
vil fange deg inn og du blir min
Har vi en i manens favn?
Da hun sa han i dansen den aller forste dag
Sang hennes hjerte og lo hennes sjel, og lo hennes sjel
Det var han hun skulle ha
Hun hadde aldri sett slik ynde i en mann
Og dansen gikk pa vollen, pa vollen
Det var han hun skulle ha
Fall for meg na inatt
vinn min vilje, vinn min hand
Uten deg kan jeg ei leve
Ta deg i akt, min trolldomsmakt
vil fange deg inn og du blir min
Har vi en i manens favn?
Han sa, "skjonne kvinne, kom over hit
Hor, vil du vel gifte deg, gifte deg
med meg sa ung jeg er"
Hun ble nok blendet av hans sjarm og hans sote ord
For da hun vaknet den andre dag, den andre dag
Fant hun sengen tom
Fall for meg na inatt
vinn min vilje, vinn min hand
Uten deg kan jeg ei leve
Ta deg i akt, min trolldomsmakt
vil fange deg inn og du blir min
Har vi en i manens favn?
Sa kom den tredje dagen, og med den den tredje natt
og dansen gikk pa vollen, pa vollen
Han danset som om ingenting var hendt
[ENGLISH]
Fall for me this very night
win my will, win my hand
Without you, I cannot live
Beware, my magic power
(will trap you and you will be mine
Do we have one in the Moon's embrace?)
When she saw him dancing the very first day
Sang her heart and laugh did her soul, and laugh did her soul
It was him she would have
She had never seen such grace in a man
And the dance was on the rampart, on the rampart
It was him she would have
Fall for me this very night
win

dark as the colour of a river
i taste your name
roll it around my tongue
dark as the colour of a river
i sense there's a danger
that does not hinder me
i take you in
before i realise
and i breathe with you
before i realise
like a lover
down the river
like the stories never told
like a mirror
of the river
with you i see myself
dark as the colour of a river
you're coming closer
i dare not even speak
dark as the colour of a river
i see you're trembling
i reach out my hand
no regrets
they're wasted anyway
turn around
i'm not here to harm you

[Troll journey]
Hun lofter sitt blikk mot manen rund
Trollferd gjennom skogen
Alle de venter i innerste lund
Trollferd gjennom skogen
Kom, ta i ring - og dansen vil ga hele natten
Latter og leven, balet blir tent
Trollferd gjennom skogen
Det bruser i tr?rne, det ventes spent
Trollferd gjennom skogen
Kom, ta i ring - og dansen vil ga hele natten
Hun gar imot dem pa naken fot
Trollferd gjennom skogen
Hun vet at i natt teller hennes mot
Trollferd gjennom skogen
Kom, ta i ring - og dansen vil ga hele natten
Stunden n?rmer seg, hun er klar
Trollferd gjennom skogen
Vinden stilner i alle far
Trollferd gjennom skogen
Fang meg og fri meg, la dansen ga
Trollferd gjennom skogen
Fra alle kanter synges det na
Trollferd gjennom skogen
Kom, ta i ring - og dansen vil ga hele natten
[ENGLISH]
She lifts her view to the moon round
Troll journey through the woods
Gathered they wait in innermost grove
Troll journey through the woods
Come, join the ring - and the dancing shall last the whole night
Laughter and liveliness, the bonfire is lit
Troll journey through the woods
There's rustling in the trees, and excited awaitening
Troll journey through the woods
Come, join the ring - and the dancing shall last the whole night
She walks toward them on naked foot
Troll journey through the woods
She knows that she must be brave tonight
Troll journey through the woods
Come, join the ring - and the dancing shall last the whole night
The moment approaches, she is ready
Troll journey through the woods
The wind dies down on every field
Troll journey through the woods
-a

She is just passing through
Last year and the year before
She is just passing through you
She washed the day away
instead of making it allright
She washed the day away
- How brave
You don't have to let her in
just listen and let her begin
She is Cinderella in desguise [sic]
or The Mermaid in despite
of her very human feet
dancing in her Ballroom Suite
You never did treat her well
oh, sure you had nice words to sell
You never did treat her well
- and you know it
She has come here today
and I don't think she's here to stay
Cinderella has to go
oh, I wish it was not so
As the clock soon will strike twelve
we will find her as herself

Hey beautiful
can I have you for a while?
Here in my head
you're the one
I never thought
I would find somebody like you
I never thought
you would come my way
Lending time, passing through
all the seasons - borrowing you
Setting sail, finding new
distant shores - borrowing you
I will go through it all
if it makes you want me more
Hey beautiful
can't you see me as I stand
right before you
giving my heart
I touch my happiness
I can't remember how it was to live before you
I touch my blessedness
I never thought I would find myself giving in
But, if you go - I go
and if you stay so will I
If you go - I'll go, and you know I'll go with you

i just want to lay myself down
drink the illusions and let it all float away
into the river of voices
one of them will speak and tell me where to go
i packed my thoughts and visions
headed for the light on the other side
although consoling was a myth
the tunnel was a con
i ran - but i never turned back
i have deported my own life
into this foolish splendour
i have brought the beauty of a soul
cold and dark as the last day
is the image of the dream
that made it all worth-while
in exile
if there is a sign out there hiding
come to me now or forever hold your peace
you'll find me in my room in the guesthouse
riding clouds that are hard to please
when there is a fight i will be there
it feels so good to do what one should not do
and i play i gamble and stay
i look - but i never turn back

beautiful morning
how can you greet me
like that you never used to know me before
beautiful morning
smiling all softly
like an ally or lover
how can you do that
you should know better by now
but i believe things always change
maybe this time
you come with the sun
i never thought that the sun
would shine around here
i never thought that the sun
would be my friend
beautiful morning
i'm not a mother
all i possessed
i have given away
beautiful morning
do you still want me
right now i'm counting
hours of the day and the days of the week

Cast away the shadows
Cast away the shadows
Cast away the shadows behold the view
I am but an evil, I am but a man
Cast away the shadows
Cast away the shadows
Cast away the shadows behold the view
Ember turn to fire, rock turn to dust
Cast away the shadows
Cast away the shadows
Cast away the shadows behold the view
Aware on the sacred night, waiting for
the signs to appear
Cast away the shadows
Cast away the shadows
Cast away the shadows behold the view
Mistress turn to Goddess, blood turn to wine

You know I gave it away
You know I gave it to someone else instead
But like a crack of a dawn
and like an Easter-Rabbit-Song - I knew you'd be gone
You said that I was the one
that you could put all your grief upon
But like a crack of a dawn
and like an Easter-Rabbit-Song - I knew you'd be gone
with the Easter-Song singing
I want you, I want you to see
the thing you still haven't seen in me
I gave you all - all you had in me
For the sake of our love
and for all the times that we have shared
Can I sing you this song
And when all the Easter-Rabbits are gone
I still have you here - at least a piece of you
And so I gave it away
And so I gave it to someone else instead

[Hear my song]
Naken under manelyset
forte jeg min fot ut i dans
Oyne sorte som av kull
Fulgte mine steg fra skogens rand
Hor min sang over salten hav - fra evig tid
Over fjell og gjennom dyp skog - inn i drom
Jeg kan se deg sove na - min kj?re
Alle vinder gi meg liv og hor min sang
Stille strekker seg hender
ut av morket og stryker ved mitt har
"Kom barn, la oss ga lenger inn i skogen
Legg ditt hode ned, sa skal du se ham igjen for dagen gryr"
Hor min sang over salten hav - fra evig tid
Over fjell og gjennom dyp skog - inn i drom
Jeg kan se deg sove na - min kj?re
Alle vinder gi meg liv og hor min sang
Jeg vil hviske ditt navn
Jeg vil leve uten savn
Jeg vil fylles av liv i all tid
[ENGLISH]
Naked under the moonlight
I guided my foot into dance
Eyes black as of coal
Followed my steps from the forest's edge
Hear my song across salty seas - from infinite time
Over mountains and through deep woods - into dreams
I can see you sleep now - my dear
All winds, give me life and hear my song
Silently hands stretch themselves
out of darkness and caress my hair
"Come child, let us go further into the woods
Rest your head, and you shall see him again ere break of day"
Hear my song across salty seas - from infinite time
Over mountains and through deep woods - into dreams
I can see you sleep now - my dear
All winds, give me life and hear my song
I want to whisper your name
I want to live without want
I want to be filled with life forever

you just want to strip me
off of who i am
divide me into pieces
and then you can decide
what it is you want
a heart a mind a fuck
if it's all the same to you
i'll choose instead
it's a close race, close race
you're pushing the buttons now
as fast as you can
close race, close race
now it's time to understand
and leave you, leave you
stranded here
a pilot with no plane
my parachute will open
while yours will fail
and it doesn't really matter
if your crash-helmet is on
i'll just light another
of your cigarettes
and the ghosts that haunt this house
will slowly fade away

I can dance and I can sing
I can tell what the future will bring
Come wanderer with me
and we'll see what you are blessed to be
Hey there my love will you spare a thought for me
I'd climb the highest mountain to set my spirit free
There they come and there they go no-one's left for me
Kneel in front of fire place
Let the warmth fill your veins
Lay your weapons down
and I will heal your wounds
Hey there my love will you spare a thought for me
I'd climb the highest mountain to set my spirit free
There they come and there they go no-one's left for me
Lay you down to rest my friend
Be aware of the thoughts they send
I'll call on the wind and storm
to cover your pursuers path
Hey there my love will you spare a thought for me
I'd climb the highest mountain to set my spirit free
There they come and there they go no-one's left for me

She rises her head into the night
-They gather every full moon
She nods at her sister the time is right
-They gather every full moon
Join in the ring
the fire will burn until morning
They assemble to reach the mountain top
-They gather every full moon
The excitement is kept in suspense
-They gather every full moon
Join in the ring
the fire will burn until morning
The air is chilling the skin is bare
-They gather every full moon
but dance is surely to heat the atmosphere
-They gather every full moon
Join in the ring
the fire will burn until morning
Fierceness is turning them willing
-They gather every full moon
Nature approves on the sacrifices made
-They gather every full moon
Join in the ring
the fire will burn until morning

Vandrer opp, vandrer opp mot asen
Her kan jeg se utover skog
Hvisker omt, hvisker omt mot vinden
hvor er du som hjertet mitt kan fange
Kan du se meg her under manen
Kan du se meg her jeg star

My beloved I have waited so long
How can it be daylight keeps us apart
Make me assured it is you
and that no-one sees us
Oh my princess your eyes shine so bright
For your love I will give up my life
Make me...
Be aware of my father the king
If he sees us he will surely lock me in the tower
Make me...
Come to me at night
Whistle our tune at the feet of the tower
Make me...
Then I shall let out my hair
it will light up the night so you'll find your way
Make me...
He stayed with his princess all through the night
at down came the king
Make me...
Evil tongues came from far
their minds filled with envy
The princess with the golden hair
shall not see her beloved again
The king sentenced the young knight to death
blind for his daughters prayers
Make me...
When the third day came to an end
She drove a dagger through her ancient heart
Make me...

i know when you are hurting
your pain is mine
let me carry you through the morning mist
and on to the bridge
let us talk about the hard times
find shelter in my hands
give your thoughts some rest
as there are two of us tonight
never fly away
until you have tried everything
give it one more day
good things lie in wait
hold on to yourself
you know that the wind will change
i cannot be your eyes
but i will try to make you see
that beauty lies underneath your skin
this fight is yours to win
a piece of this moment
is all it will ever take
stay afloat and stay right here
be as one with me
oh, nothing tastes as sweet now
as it once did
in time you know it will

you've got a story to tell
and a place to come home to
yet, you choose to hide
do you feel safer out here
where no one will be watching
or do you fear the light
i am calling you
i am watching you
i walk with you
i play like you
unafraid and blue
i hear them whipping the mule
as they follow the coffin
destined for the field
the mourners behind
i see you're walking amongst them
i know you need my voice
all these familiar faces
all gathered around the open mouth
i see your shadow down there
- but then it's gone

Hei, vil du ta min hand
sa kan du bli med
til mitt annerledessted
Av et hav i stormens makt
ble jeg skylt inn mot land
en gang pa alle fargenes strand
Se meg inn i oynene
Kan du like det du ser?
Vil du se mer?
Hei du, na favnes vi inn - i mitt spindelsinn
Her kan vi falle til ro - i mitt spindelsinn
Jeg fulgte vindens sang
Her var toner som floy
som farger ut av skogens toy
Jeg vil ta deg med inn hit
Sa du kan se hvem jeg er
og om du vil bli v?rende her
Se meg inn i oynene
Kan du like det du ser?
Vil du se mer?
Hei du, na favnes vi inn - i mitt spindelsinn
Her kan vi falle til ro - i mitt spindelsinn
Og nar du ser lanterner lyse vei
Som en bro ut av hav og land
Kan du like det du ser?
Vil du se mer?
Hei du, na favnes vi inn i mitt spindelsinn
Her kan vi falle til ro - i mitt spindelsinn
[ENGLISH]
Hey, will you take my hand
and come along
to my unique place3
By a sea under the storm's control
was I washed ashore
once on the Beach of All Colours
Look me in the eyes
Might you like what you see?
Would you like to see more?
Hey you, we're being embraced - in my mind web
Here we can come to rest - in my mind web
I followed the wind's song
There were tones flying
as colours out of the forest's cloth
I want to bring you along in here
So you can see who I am
and whether you want to remain here.
Look me in the eyes
Might you like what you see?
Would you like to see more?
Hey you, we're being embraced - in my mind web
Here we can come to rest - in my mind web
And when you see lante

butterfly are you ready to exhale
swallow me whole or drown me in the pond
i want nothing more
than to smell you on my skin
and taste you in my mouth
when you're gone
you're still here

all i want
is to step outside into the mist
with bare feet
underneath the other side of the sun
it will be
a ferry waiting there for me
to take me across
it merely holds one chair
i know i must loose you
mhm mmmhmhm
it's not that i have not got faith
mhm mmmhm
but i have got some stuff to do
and people who need seeing to aha
and i must build a world of snow
close your eyes
it will be less painful naturally
and you should know
that nothing ever stays the same
especially
all the things we build in snow
like
castles horses men and cities

If I knew you where [sic] coming
I'd be home soon
And if I knew you where [sic] wishing
upon the same moon
I would walk out in the night
to tell you it's allright
Make me a stone
Make me a crown
Make me a child to bare through the storm
who can continue when I'm gone
Make me a tree
under the sea
Where I can climb and fall down
And we can sleep there on the ground
If I knew you where [sic] thinking
- to this one I am bound
And if I knew you where [sic] wishing
you should be on the same ground
Walk out in the night
and tell me it's allright
If I could see the things you see
If I could be inside your head
Would I only do the right things
and would you still be here?

I can not see but darkness and death
I feel cold breeze enter the tune
Thy voice once so soft, declaring Thy love
Why hast Thou forsaken me
I enter the castle we shared once again
Here in these halls our love was to behold
now for only to remain in the dream
Why hast Thou forsaken me
I feel this thing woe
creep into my heart
for there to remain forever as I fear
In the deepest of nights
when my name is called out
I know I will come, I can no longer resist

My lover always meets me with a smile
My lover always kind, always patient
My lover like honey and milk
My lover on a cold November morning
But on the former Sunday I gave him in
And on the former Sunday he went away
All the grief that I have caused is
nothing now, compared to this
All the grief that I have given him
is nothing now, compared to this
And I can see him as he lies there
And I can see him in his grave
My lover on a bed in the evening mist
tender and pure in his last moment
My lover on a bed, spreads his beautiful hair
out on the pillow - out on me

i have shut the window
ready to defend
what is left to die for
what is left to give
all is about to wither
all is about you
hard to make up your mind
hard to get through to me
you gave away the love i gave
time is what's left over
when you've got time to waste
funny how everything
falls into place once decisions are made

[Night of the north]
Nordlyset farger himmelen
Speiles ned pa isen
De sier tiden leger sar
De sier tiden leger sar
Betatt av synets makt
Den sterke sol og manes pakt
Vil sannheten bli meg forunt?
Vil sannheten bli meg forunt?
Mitt sinn er et hav
En alle tankers grav
Jeg ville gi det til deg
Jeg ville gi det til deg
Kan du se fargenes spill
Som horer Nordnatten til
Vil du dele mitt syn?
Tor du dele mitt syn?
[ENGLISH]
The northern lights colour the sky
Reflect on the ice
They say time heals all wounds
They say time heals all wounds
Seduced by the power of the sight
The powerful union of sun and moon
Will I be bestowed with the truth?
Will I be bestowed with the truth?
My mind is an ocean
A grave of all thoughts
I wanted to give it to you
I wanted to give it to you
Can you see the play of colours
Belonging to the Night of the North
Will you share what I see?
Do you dare share what I see?

Se hva jeg ser
fra tarnet i nord
Jeg onsker meg hjem
til slik det en gang var
Hore dem si
du kan aldri dra
Men, de vet vel at jeg
lar vinden vise vei
"Mitt navn er Agatha",
sier hun og tar min hand
"Se at det er jeg som vil lede deg"
sier hun, Agatha
Nar jeg drar ut
vet jeg hun er her
For a si hva hun ser,
for a si hvor jeg skal ga
"Mitt navn er Agatha",
sier hun og tar min hand
"Se at jeg er den som vil lede deg hjem"
sier hun, Agatha
Agatha sier, "jeg er den
som vil lede deg hjem"
"Mitt navn er Agatha",
sier hun og tar min hand
"Se at jeg er den som vil lede deg hjem"
sier hun, Agatha
[ENGLISH]
See what I see
from the northern tower
I wish to come home
to how it used to be
Hearing them say
you can never leave
But, they must surely know that I
let the wind be my guide
"My name is Agatha",
she says and takes my hand
"Behold that it is I who will guide you"
says she, Agatha.
When I leave
I know she is here
To tell me what she sees
to tell me where to go
"My name is Agatha",
she says and takes my hand
"Behold that I am the one who will guide you home"
says she, Agatha.
Agatha says, "I am the one
who will guide you home"
"My name is Agatha",
she says and takes my hand
"Behold that I am the one who will guide you home"
says she, Agatha.

you've got the shock
you've got the crying
you've got the guild
you've got the house
i have got leaving on my side
you've got rock bottom
you've got the people
you've got the winter
you've got the penance
the upper hand
the promised land
if nothing counts
and if something is nothing
i've got leaving on my side
it counts for something
if nothing is something
i've got leaving on my mind
it counts if nothing counts

what if i told you
straight to your face
what if i told you
nothing at all
cover it with make-up
hiding all the bruises
no one shall notice
no one shall know
why can't you hear me no more
hear when i whisper your name
hear why i feel so ashamed
hear when i silence my tears
what if i pointed
a gun to your head
what if i pulled the trigger
you do deserve it
all the hurt you can get
besides no one shall notice
no one shall know

[Winter sunlight]
Her hvor vinden blaser inn med kalde gufs
Virvler opp og faller ned i samme stund
Her kan ingen finne oss bak hoye fjell
Her kan ingen finne oss i ly av mitt tre
Kommer du til meg her
Kommer du til meg na
Kan du se meg i vintersol
Kan du se meg na
Kan du se meg i vintersol
Kan du se meg na
Her er ingen som horer, her er vi og vintersol
[ENGLISH]
Here where the wind blows in with cold gusts
Whirls up and falls down at once
Here, no one can find us, behind tall mountains
Here, no one can find us, in lee of my tree
Will you come to me here
Will you come to me now
Can you see me in the winter sunlight
Can you see me now
Can you see me in the winter sunlight
Can you see me now
There's no one here listening, here are we and winter sunlight

The emptiness approaches
winding down the path
knows the direction
it has been here before
I can feel it lay down to slumber
This time it will stay a while
Not even a straw of hope is spared
for me to cling to
I have searched
through endless nights
with the bare moon
as my guiding light
to find someone
of my own kind
Am I doomed to walk my path in solitude
My blood freezes
red turns to black
this is dead
this is me
In earth
I find quietness
which I so long hath seeked
