Lyrics by Håkon Høiberg & Oskar Holldorff

Dazed I walked

Slipped, tripped and woke up

I looked back in fear

Trees had changed

Naked pines had turned to shades

How long was I away

And where are you now

Are you still out there somewhere

Dreams untrue

Are keeping me in solitude

When will I shake my mare

A blaze of light

Falling from abandoned skies

Was that you I saw

Had to be

Nothing here makes sense to me

All I knew is gone

Where are you now

You’ve got to be out there somewhere I can’t tame

The violent winds that howl your name

When will I shake my mare

Once I get out of here

Then I will know where to begin

I’ll cross the sea

I know what I’m seeking

Once I get out of here

Then I will know where I am bound I finally

Know I am leaving

I don’t know where you lie

Glimpses of quiet lights

Down in the doldrums

A shimmering ocean

Loss of sight

I’ve waited for a long, long time

Thought that you were here

Dark and bent

Shades swing from end to end

Will I see you again

Music and lyrics by Oskar Holldorff

Just a matter of minutes until dawn

Just a matter of minutes until we awake

Just a matter of minutes until dawn

Just a matter of minutes until morning breaks

Here it comes

You sense there’s something wrong

Here it comes

The sunrise like a bomb

Here it comes

I had things going on

Here it comes

Here it comes

Strike me right down

Blow me to pieces

Ashes rain down

Falling to peace on the earth

Looming silhouettes in twilight

They were looking at me, their eyes were glowing

The endless fear of the finite

And the dams that we built were overflowing

Here comes the sea change, the high tide

I can but wait as the seething hate intensifies

On the horizon, the sunrise

Just a matter of minutes left to wonder why

Here it comes

The new sun rising up

Here it comes

The rays pierce flesh and bone

Here it comes

And you, where have you gone?

Here it comes

Here it comes

Strike me right down

Blow me to pieces

Ashes rain down

Falling to peace on the earth

Just a matter of minutes until dawn

Just a matter of minutes until morning breaks

Music and lyrics by Oskar Holldorff

Toy boat downstream

Tumbling free

Caught in riverbank

Stick tore a hole

Me on the stern

Singing as it sank

Water felt quite warm

And as I was drifting

I thought of home

Tried to stay afloat

But some foul undercurrent grabbed a hold of me

*

Tossed like a doll

Caught in a sprawl

By the undertow

Gathering speed

I need to breathe

But I’m dragged below

Struggling on my own

Nowhere is solid

Nowhere is home

Now I’ve learnt the rules

My burning lungs shall have their way or down their tools

Music by Håkon Høiberg & Oskar Holldorff

Lyrics by Oskar Holldorff

Backwater silent

A pocket of peace

Driftwood floats by me

With the raging sea

In little glimpses

It comes back to me

Rushing sensations

As they come, they leave

Sometimes I can forget

Sometimes I sing to myself Ooh

I will reach your shore, Avalon

Nothing matters more, Avalon

Where the ocean meets the sky

I know that’s where you lie

In a place where memories wane

As they wash with the tide

Breaker on breaker

Removes every trace

Wish as they might, but even kings can’t

Push back the waves

Sometimes I’m gone for long

Sometimes my nights filled with song

Ooh

I will reach your shore, Avalon

Hear your silent call, Avalon

‘Cause where the ocean meets the sky

I know that’s where you lie

And I know all things in time

Will wash with the tide

I will reach your shore, Avalon

Hundred years or more, Avalon

Where the ocean meets the sky

I know that’s where you lie

I will know that I’ve arrived

When I wash with the tide

Music and lyrics by Oskar Holldorff

Waterproof

Camera is rolling

Sinking slow

Floating, falling

Shafts of light

Blurred and wobbly

Pulsing waves

Low frequency rumblings

Down under the waves there’s no harm

Nothing to upset, no alarms

I can sense the beat of your heart

Even though we’re oceans apart

I’ll wait this out

Until it blows over

They won’t think

To look underwater

Deep in blue

I hear you beckon

Fifty-two

Cycles per second

Down under the waves there’s no harm

Nothing to upset, no alarms

I can sense the beat of your heart

Even though we’re oceans apart

Music and lyrics by Håkon Høiberg & Oskar Holldorff

Waves roll in under arc light

Something glints in the sand

Carried on tidal currents

To an alien land

Strewn on the ground like marbles

Lie the parts of my mind

Frozen like bugs in amber

Each a moment in time

Flicker sudden

I caught a glimpse of you

Under empty skies

Silent as stone

Sable and starless

Vacant and blind

Pieces of us

Abalus harvest

Unstuck in time

Foiling the total darkness

False and radiant sights

Wheels spin in reels and riddles

Tunnels burst from pale eyes

Now I see strangers far away

I don’t know what they say

Or where they are

Flicker sudden

I caught a glimpse of you

In oppressive night

Silent as stone

Sable and starless

Vacant and blind

Pieces of us

Abalus harvest

Unstuck in time

Music by Håkon Høiberg

Lyrics by Håkon Høiberg & Oskar Holldorff

I can see you

I can see you

Lingering in veiled periphery

A hazy shroud of shade

Far away

I can hear your

Lonely echoes

Singing in my ears from long ago

And in the fading light

You come alive

Evening

It’s so good to see you again

Your shades turn to shapes of thoughts I thought was lost

From long ago

I can hear my mind running away

Close my eyes, why should I look

Shades escape and now I have to wait

All I want is to see you again

Wish I could be miles away

Can’t even see what’s in front of me

Wish I could leave and find my way

All my years are dwindling memories

I am chasing shadows

From long ago

*

You can tell them

You can tell them

You can tell them, dear

I could find no reason to stay

Music by Håkon Høiberg

Lyrics by Håkon Høiberg & Oskar Holldorff

A flickering glow

Faded into the frost

Lost in the fog

Trapped like a ghost

In an ashen flake of snow

Caught and carried within

Someone who knows

Day turned to night

In the empty dark

A beating heart

I think of you

You’re the one I can’t lose

Under endless skies Morning arrives

Like an arid stream

Unveils a trail

You showed me where to go

Now I must walk alone

On my barren road

Gray light of dawn

The blind dogs of the sun

Mindlessly run

They chase you and I

Borrowed world and borrowed time

And our borrowed eyes

Sorrow the sight

Like an arid stream

Unveils a trail

You showed me where to go

Now I must walk alone

On my barren road

Music and lyrics by Håkon Høiberg

I’m lost in between

Dreams and memories I’m falling down

Wherever I may be

Darkness follows me

No way out

Light the evening sky

With cannon fire

Clouds collide, blazing bright

Let cannon fire end the night

I saw a ray of light

Something from the sky

Falling down

Whoever you may be I would do anything

To see you again

Light the evening sky

With cannon fire

Clouds collide, blazing bright

Let cannon fire end the night

Music by Håkon Høiberg

Lyrics by Oskar Holldorff

Enchanted puddle

Sit down and rest a while

Whisper your promise

Rid me of my disguise

Open the door

Remember from before

The fountain cool in the greenwood shade

The sky above is with me and always will be

Woods frozen over

I have nowhere to be

Our concrete castle

Seems to cave in on me

Sever our bond

I’ve fallen in the pond

No golden ball and no prince enthralled

The sky above is with me and always will be

Music and lyrics by Oskar Holldorff

Soft morning glow

Let the light in slow

I have woken from a troubled sleep

Breeze strange and warm

Carrying skylark’s song

With the curtains drawn I finally see

Underneath the arching of an unrelenting sky

Time will pass you by

Always in denial

No reason, no rhyme

In my sleep

You were there with me

And you said the words that no one would speak

You’d lift your curse

And the mist would be dispersed

And the sky would tear and I’d be set free

Underneath a firmament of little things unseen

I will soldier on

Clinging to the song

That you passed on to me

Music and lyrics by Oskar Holldorff

We

Out to sea

Waves roll by Easily

We

In blue-green

Below us The unseen

We

Hewn from stone

Water breaks Upon our bones

We Sinking slow

Doing What we know

Throwing rocks

Throwing rocks

May the sea

Part for me

We

Are in deep

Weightless

And oblique

Screaming

Our lungs out

In protest

Against the endless

Throwing rocks

Throwing rocks

May the sea

Part for me
