  • Music and lyrics by Oskar Holldorff

    Are you listening in

    This story begins at the end

    Wish I could go back

    Sun radiant black, come again

    Something in the air

    I was unaware it was there

    Something in that look

    I was read like the page of a book

    Understood

    Winding path

    Long and dark

    Pull me in

    I’ve come to see you again

    Forest cold

    Deep and old

    Pull me in

    No one will see me again

    Are you listening in

    Where do I begin, say again

    I wish I was old

    Then maybe I’d know how to feel

    When out at sea

    I wish I was whole

    But there’s just a stone where a beating

    Heart should be

    Chasing my tail again

    A circle with no end

    Before or after this

    I’ll look for what I missed

  • Music by Håkon Høiberg

    Lyrics by Tom Ian Klungland

    Not sure what I heard

    Felt confused and left behind

    Blurred echoes of words you’d said

    Staring down an empty glass

    I wanted away from you and I

    Still dark

    Hearts once flesh have turned to stone

    And the wave we thought we’d ride forever

    Has stilled

    The last call had come and gone

    The silent moment before dawn

    I thought I’d opened my eyes

    But all was still dark

    I wanted away from you and I

    Still dark

    The wee hours have turned to days

    And the wave we thought we’d ride forever

    Has stilled

    Tell her you saw me

    I wandered, I am lost

    Tell her my heart has gone cold

    I tried, yet could not see

    Lyrics by Håkon Høiberg

    You are getting closer

    Drifting overseas

    To find missing pieces

    Wherever you are

    I hope you understand

    We’ve got to get going

    Every night the signs are clear

    You follow them blindly over and over again

    Every top, every peak

    Seems to shine for lonely ones who seek

    Wait till it’s morning, then we will get going

    So how did it go

    Did you lose something on the way

    Slipped through your fingers

    Whoever she was

    Words don’t make sense

    We’ve got to get going

    Every night the signs awake

    Maybe it’s time to make a run for it

    Awaiting dawn, all lights are gone

    Don’t you know it’s time to go on

    It’s almost morning

    Time to get going

    Oh, I’m drifting overseas

    Farther away than I’ve ever been

    Oh, night’s almost over

    I know you’ve got to be out there somewhere

  • Music by Håkon Høiberg

    Lyrics by Oskar Holldorff

    Light nearly blinded my eyes

    Couldn’t hide anywhere

    From that radiant stare

    Daytime ráth

    Wanderer cross my path

    Tell me where to hide

    For these colours flood my eyes

    Night covered all of the sky

    Oh, that emptiest dome

    Make me feel all alone

    Midnight ráth

    Wanderer cross my path

    Tell me where to go

    For my eyes turn black as crow

    Tracing the circle around

    Oh, this empty sphere

    Speaks of days when you were still here

    Mist shrouded us in its veil

    Oh, did we ever exist

    Outside this empty tale

    Twilight ráth

    Wanderer cross my path

    Turn this heart of stone

    For this gray is all I know

    Light…

  • Music and lyrics Håkon Høiberg

    I’m hearing old

    Whispers in my ear

    I’m leaving out those eager sounds

    Though I fear they know where I am

    I’ve never known

    What I will find out there

    I want to see what’s left for me

    Out there, take me somewhere else

    Every path leads the same way

    And always ends when I begin wandering

    Do you listen, are you there again

    I see no trails, but I hear the voices

    Every path leads the same way

    And always ends when I begin wandering

    So take my hand and lead the way again

    I see no trails, but I hear the voices

    Lyrics by Tom Ian Klungland

    My dearest sings

    North wind brings

    Trees in motion

    Drastic notions

    A songbird’s wing

    Won’t unfold

    Waves in oceans

    Helpless, cold

    Heavy breath

    Deep and old

    The forest darkly

    Turns to mold

    Light anew

    Warm and bright

    Naught to dread

    My dearest flew

    Where do I go, is there a sign I can’t find

    I’m looking for you, but now my eyes have gone blind

    Are you a vision, a sight in the dim

    A spirit away, a man out of mind

    Lyics by Håkon Høiberg and Oskar Holldorff

    No one is looking

    I say hello

    Dazed I stand, empty head

    Where are you, talk to me

    I left you around here somewhere

    In the cold

    Don’t wait up late

    I’ll be okay

    Leave on some light to show the way

    The trees are talking

    They say hello

    They’re so tall, I feel small

    I’d rather be with you

    You left me behind and I’m tired

    And afraid

    Don’t stay up late

    I can’t find my way

    I don’t think that I’ll be home today

    No one is looking

    Come say hello

  • Music by Håkon Høiberg

    Lyrics by Dim Gray

    I say goodbye and let go

    Of my empty heart

    And blood that won’t flow

    As the rain turns to snow

    These years, these seasons

    They spiral off their course

    As I watch them with ease

    I lie here with my dreamer’s disease

    A kiss on the cheek

    A pat on the back

    Can’t wake up anymore

    I’m stuck here with my dreamer’s disease

    I lie here with my dreamer’s disease

    I lie here with my dream…

    Now I know you are gone

    I’ve been waiting for so damn long

    You’re always on my mind

    And sometimes you and I

    Lie here with our dreamer’s disease

    I sense something urging me on

    Can I follow where you have gone

    Can I follow where you have flown

    Sun rising from the sea

    As the ocean stirs to retrieve

    I was blind but now I can see

    Light falls in shafts through the leaves

    I break free from my dreamer’s disease

  • Music & lyrics by Håkon Høiberg and Oskar Holldorff

    Waves breaking on the shore

    To fade and be no more

    Waves crashing on hard stone

    Here comes another one

    Guided by light and shade

    I try to find my way

    I turn and all I see

    Looks all the same to me

    It’s better to believe that you ran away

    Better to believe that you got away

    Better than to fear that you aren’t here

    Better than to feel that you are not here

    Chasing my tail again

    A circle with no end

    Before or after this

    I’ll look for what I missed

  • Music by Håkon Høiberg

    Lyrics by Oskar Holldorff

    Wander in the morning light

    Sun is shining in my eyes

    You walk by my side

    We are not talking

    Black sun shining rays of night

    Brilliant shadows strange and wide

    Someone shut my eyes

    Why are we falling

    Luminous shadows never leave me alone

    Reaching through skin into my heart of stone

    I’ll change my path but around the next bend

    You’re still there, is this where it will end

    Where did my future go

    Why did you not warn me so

    Nightfall has arrived

    It was just morning

    Luminous shadows never leave me alone

    Reaching through skin into my heart of stone

    I’ll change my path but around the next bend

    You’ve edged closer, is this where it ends

    Oh, why are we falling

    Luminous shadow never leave me alone

    Reach through my skin and turn this heart of stone

    I’ll walk this path till I see where it ends

    Light the way, this is where it begins
