1. STARSEED

North of eden east of the sun
They built their houses of straw
Strayed in shadow hiding from god
Dark is the world they know

But they could see the stars at the horison - and beyond
In the winter's night they brought their dead to be healed

(Down they came from the sky)
When the burning shield crossed the sky
(Crowned, in stralight)
They fell to the ground in fear
Of the visitors...

Under the pale moon far from the sun
The stillborn was brought
Clutching a corpse so small she walked to the stones
Hopelessly numb her thought

But she could see the stars at the horison and beyond
A cluster of light from the darkness descending

As they eyes buried through her mind
She cried and spread her army...
For the visitors

They saw the birth of man
Now THEY


2. FAIRYTALE

Entice me to dance on the water
And tell me that there is a god
In their home in the mountains giants will laugh in scorn
Dragons lair is where I was born
Throwing rocks at the temples below them
Lords of the overlord
(masters alone...)
(fairytales in starlight)


3. NORTHERN STARS

Northern stars look down on me
Now that I stand here alone
As I look down through the valleys I see
The forests that are my home
The mountains stand cold and silent
Where the ice eternally grow
Nothing moves winds alone
Rules the wastelands of snow
No feeble gods shall rule my life
My strength is the cold air
The sting of winter on my skin
The sakes of ice in my hair
The fires of my tribesmen set trails of smoke to the sky
Where the shaman summons the spirits
Of ancestors dew and gone
Hear our call at spirits lead us to our prey
See with your eyes the deer and wapiti
And gather them in our way...
No feeble gods shall rule my life
My strength is the cold air
The sting of winter on my skin
The sakes of ice in my hair


4. HIS TIME HAS COME

Every man meets his fate someday
And the old man on the deathbed
Lets his thoughts wander through years gone by
To the things of the past still clear in his vision
This man has killed many men
Everyone of them deserved it
Tired of his life in vain
Kindly, take away his pain Mr Death.
In a lonely place now his spirits fade
Won't you cool his thirst Mr Raindrop
Won't you sing for him Mr Robin
Shine and make his last moments bright Mr Sun
...Under the oak north of the river the weed stands tall
A child grows fast where death is delivered and emotions fall
Branches stretch above the tombstones
Where those are put to sleep
Who were victimized by the vengeful child
And forced to beg and weep
So build him a bridge to Valhalla Mr Rainbow
Where the time to die is never and the battles last forever


5. I SEE IT NOW...

Sunlight on my eye lids
Morning makes shadows flee from my mind
Drawn from the kingdom of dreams I awake
This shadow disturbs me
The spear of destiny
Is today my time to go?
Is every moment locked in time?
Or can it be altered?
The word grows distant, looking out
Through out the holes in my head
Feeble like an infant, gasping for air as the moments shred
I peer at the world like a horror movies
As I become too conscious of my being
Hear my heart beat count my every breath
What if I stop.
Could it be that my life was meant to be short
How can I be sure
Why do I feel so small?
My scale is shrinking
How can i stop the panic?
But face reality, time feels no pity
There's no room for those who break...
Deprived of compassion
The life has left my eyes.
And though closing in on the summer of life
My heart is colder than ice
I searched my mind this morning
Found a border of black on the inside
I probed my thoughts this morning
Essence was caught in a web of swallowed pride
Now where was I - a sudden feeling of dejavu
Aroused my fear of awakening from some unknown gods sleep
To find that lives are relived and relived again
Meaninglessly repeated...
Am I really me here and now
Is the end of this moment foretold
Is sun in the sky the mouth of god
Breathing life from the cold
How can I be sure on the holes in my head
The angry voices
You can't take this
You know you can't take this
It must be end now
You know it must be end now
There're too much thoughts
There's too much pressure
And you can't take it
Why don't you kill yourself
Why don't you put that gun to your head
And fire unto your head
And fire and fire
Fire (no)
I want to feel the sunlight warm
The grass below my naked feet
Hear the sound of traffic rise
Being carried on the summerbreeze
I want to live and grow here in Sweden.
Choice is the fluctuant constant to alter time and space
The cosmos is not predictable
It diverges and bends all the myriad ways
I made up my mind this morning
And pushed away my thoughts of the darkside


6. DARK MILLENIUM (THERE SHALL NEVER BE ANOTHER DAWN) (

There shall never be another dawn...
Goblins green laugh in scorn
The light is gone
Dead is the unicorn
Kill the spark cold be the worlds
Let the prayers of the dying be unheard
Roots of life cut like a plant ripped from its soil
The beauty of winter
The ice dragons uncoil
Tonight the sunsets for ever...
Goblins green beings vile
Rotlovers at death they smile
Kill the spark cold be the worlds
The laughter grown silent
Gone with the birds
The frost eats deeper into earth
Gloom reigns the forest of mirth
Freezing winds grind
Elves weep snowblind

...Dark Millennium...


7. CONCLUSION

Mother of eternity, god of ancestors
From this outpost of pain I call upon you
From time to time to time I yearn to escape the suffering
And rest my eyes upon a darker shade of colci,

From this bright hell I long for the absolution
Open your heart, take me to you
Let life be extinct...
As clouds of darkness gather
I gaze through dying eyes...
The ending of forever
When chaos will arise...
A billion souls depart the earth
In death is found another earth
To shelter in the dark and cold domains of non-existence


8. LUST FOR LIFE

Try hard and thing are gonna happen
Stand proud when there's trouble at the door
high the clouds won't help the situation
You've been through this before
Give me a wind -
We can fly to the sky if you believe it
Enter the pathway to the halls of the gods
Inside our weakness a storm coming up
Can you feel it growing
Feel the strength in our singing hearts
Out of this world your mind can travel
But your soul is locked up in this crowned place
In time you will go to the land of bifrost
Life flowing stronger on the far side of death
Spread your wings and ride the winds of summer
They will carry you up into the sun...
When the god of war raves his hammer
You'll be far off and gone...
Out of this world your mind can travel
But your soul is locked up in this crowned place
In time you will go to the land of bifrost
Life flowing stronger on the far side of death
Give me a wind -
We can fly to the sky if you believe it
Enter the pathway to the halls of the gods
Inside our weakness a storm coming up
Can you feel it growing
Feel the strength in our singing hearts


9. NUMB

A cold breeze touches my skin

Fill my lungs coming in from the north
The sun sinks slowly into the sea
As I wander the coast in thoughts
A moment ago an illusion of purity
Touched my thought with the wind, immediately fading,
Burned away by the cauldron of sorrow within
Well I had my pride, or let's say:
I thought so
I've been down so many times,
I don't care about honour
In this ocean a billion souls have drowned
I sink deeper in the hell of my own...
But somehow I carry on float with the tide
Reap the storm
Take one more death and...
Below the surface of your consciousness
The pressure increases
'til one day Hope is finally lost
Falling into a state of fatigue
You come to think:
"Most people deserve to die but they carry on breeding"
The air I foul from the their presence
Even under these northern stars.
As the mills of time keep grinding
Life's left me bleeding
Well I had my pride, or let's say:
I thought so
I've been down so many times,
I don't care about honour
I never did belong here
I might as well just...
But somehow I carry on float with the tide
Reap the storm
Take one more death and...


10. DEPARTURE

So, here I am now at the end...
A long way I have come - now it's over
Rapidly the moments flee,
On times' shore I've stranded
I perish here beside the sea and return my soul to eternity
Through the shades of ages past the hands of doom
They grasp to erase once more my silent breath,
The warmth of material life
(I deny all that I've done
Memories, I condemn)
Joy of life forgotten
The core of my soul now rotten
(So, this is how it ends
I always wonder
Lovely seem tonight
I want to go there)
Here I am at the edge of the world
Poised on the shore of the cosmic ocean...
Out of the light the voices spring, whispering my name,
Am I now to be erased or dwell out there forever?
Joy of life forgotten
The core of my soul now rotten


11. VISION

Storms rip the clouds
Sea drown the earth
Another vision encounter beyond the scarlet skies
Bifrost, touching the rainbow
Carry me now as I die
VALHALLA
Odin
Did your messengers speak of my suffering?
Storms rip the clouds
Sea drown the earth
Odin, who rides through the heavens
My spiritual birth
Gods of the elder
Are you still there?
VALHALLA


12. ADRIFT

Dying I fly
The moment of death still in my eye
My heartbeat pounding louder
Gone now the pain
Falling the autumn rain
On stiffening limbs
Into the stars out of the light
Adrift in the cold eternal
The heavens are dark below me
In the hall of the Gods

I have witnessed THE FAILURE of God
- or - did He ever exist?
Life in itself is cold enough
To prove the absence of matter
Fall apart
Sucked down into the mud
Drowned in earth's blood
Into the stars out of the light
Adrift in the cold eternal
The heavens are dark below me
Souls fall like snow this winter's night


13. OH NO...

Oh no... once more I'll have to walk this path
The ends of the road meet curse the gods
I do not want to live again
And yet, I recover a certain
Inside my chest streams of fire flow
From the grave to the womb, my soul...
Oh no... and I had forgot this turbulence inside me
Shade of cold cover my heart
I bend like
Save me...
Out of the light into the wind and the sun
Feathers burn and I may fall again
but get the lusting pain of life it calls
To set my soul a light
Oh yeah
And yet, I recover a certain
Inside my chest streams of fire flow
From the grave to the womb, my soul...
Oh no... once more I'll have to walk this path
The ends of the road meet curse the gods
I do not want to live again


14. OUTRO

And so another dawn breaks the night
As my demons flee from the sun
And I, take one more breath and fly
