LAND OF EVERGONE
What is there? I don't know
But in my dreams it's where I go
Days are spent out in the sun
in the Land of Evergone
Be they big or be they small
May they be nothing at all
You will always hear the song
of the Land of Evergone
I will sail the wildest seas
I'll defeat all enemies
Just to be where I belong
in the Land of Evergone
I'll close my eyes and think of you
Across the endless oceans blue
I'll be leaving at the dawn
for the Land of Evergone...

SORRODEN
All it takes to be a better man
I have understood too well
The hero dies before the bitter end
We’ve been abused under the spell
Another fallen brother who thought he had another day
But when it comes tomorrow there’s no one left to follow at all
There’s another side to paradise
See how it marks the faces all
No one is going to apologise
They only want to make you small
We only have each other, don’t let ourselves fall further down
The traps are laid and waiting, enticing us and baiting us on…
Give me something to believe in such a place and I will never let it die
I will walk right through the darklands of this hell into the arms that hold me tight
My blood is on fire when I leave everything in the dark
And I can’t turn around, I’m riding us both down
I’m lighting the way with a spark
Another night in Sorroden
Waiting for the calling, something so enthralling to me
When you bear the weight of sorrow you can only hope tomorrow it’s gone
Give me something to believe in such a place and I will never let it die
I will walk right through the darklands of this hell into the arms that hold me tight
My blood is on fire when I leave everything in the dark
And I can’t turn around, I’m riding us both down
I’m lighting the way with a spark
Another night in Sorroden

FRIEND TO THE END
Some quiet morning of a quiet day, a friend to the end
Beyond the mountains and sea, remember me, a friend to the end
A cold wind blows away all of our warmth, a friend to the end
I held you close through the long dark winter, a friend to the end
When the world is crushing all your dreams, a friend to the end
will find you there in the loneliest oceans, a friend to the end
In my dreams you're walking next to me, a friend to the end
In the life we shared you were always there, a friend to the end
A friend to the end
A friend to the end....

Shadow of the Mountain

SHADOW OF THE MOUNTAIN
In the shadow of the mountain
Down the darkened mountainside
I beheld a fallen bird
I knelt down and held her as she died...
She was broken in my hands
I couldn't move myself at all
I could have wept forever and ever
The air grew colder and the sun had to fall...
By the time the fog was around us
The mountainside would not let me go
I lay beside the fallen bird
til inside and out came the snow...
Sometimes the sun shines down upon us
and you can see us from far down below
When wind is sighing, there is the crying
I lay there still with the snow....

Island

ISLAND
From this windy ancient hill
The world is quiet and still
See me in the rivers pale and blue
And the frozen moorland deja vu
The spaces in between
the daylight and the dream
I'll shut my eyes and take myself away
It becomes another yesterday
I want you in my life
A beacon in the night
We lost ourselves in swirling snow
and the sea that rises from below
If I die far from these shores
I'll die a thousand more
Only to return back to the land
of the windy rocks and golden sand
of the windy rocks and golden sand....

Early Moon

EARLY MOON
There's an early moon
It's risen far too soon
A pale white circle in a dreamy wide expanse of blue
And he's woken up
He's drinking from a cup
that spills and stains his loving hands that never seem to have enough
It's a blue blue day
Bluer than the waves
that lap and crash upon the sand and washes my love away
And he'll never see
the wood for the trees
but I hope someday he'll realise all he's meant to me...
It's an early moon risen in the sky too soon
It's an early moon high above our earthly ruin
It's an early moon that cannot penetrate the gloom
It's an early moon and I must say goodbye to you...

Fearless Sailor

FEARLESS SAILOR
By the light of the moon
I was a fearless sailor
Sailing through the shipless oceans, journeys without end
With the violent winds I’d go
Beyond the cliffs of jagged rock
Way beyond the dark hills that I love with all my heart
I am tough but I am broken
I am here still riding the winds
On a moving bed of water till I reach the land of dreams
If I’m to brave this tempest wild
For the rest of my life
I’ll let the storm clouds gather round and be with me forever more

HOUSE WITH BOOKS
I fill this house with books
They are towering
I am cowering
Forever unknowing
I fill this house with books
They are towering
I am cowering
Forever unknowing

THE LONE WALKER
I am the first one to wake in the day
While everyone's sleeping I'm making my way
I am the lone walker, see me out the window
I don't know where I'm going but I'm going alone
I'm never here and never there
I'm only trying to get somewhere
Judge me always, however you want
These days are my poison and the world is my haunt
I walk through the morning, I walk through the night
I walk through the wind and rain and snow, and the last of the light
See me at the shoreline, underneath the stars
I'll walk in through your memory and into your heart
I'm never here and never there
I'm only trying to get somewhere
Judge me always, however you want
These days are my poison and the world is my haunt...
