Elegy (EP, 2005)



Elegy

Teardrop on a fragile eyelash
She's looking like a dream
Hoping for some understanding
An answer or at least
A calming word, a single sentence
To restore her heart
Aching since the day I left her
Crossing lonely seas

Silent tears of a woman
Make a warrior cry
Heaven, I beg you
Please release hopes from fears

This is my elegy
Do you know what I feel?
This is my elegy
Do you believe it's real?
Will I hold you in my arms again?

Dewdrops on a single rosebud
This purity of rain
Reminds me of the moment I left her
Kisses filled with pain
And if I should leave her waiting
For another year
Will she ever know the answer?
Will she follow me?

Silent tears of a woman
Make a warrior cry
Heaven, I beg you
Please release hopes from fears

This is my elegy
Do you know what I feel?
This is my elegy
Do you believe it's real?
Will I hold you in my arms...
Hold you in my arms again?

A calming word, a single sentence
To restore her heart
Aching since the day I left her
Crossing lonely seas

This is my elegy
Do you know what I feel?
This is my elegy
Do you believe it's real?
Will I hold you in my arms again?

Senses Capture

Shadows in my room staring at me
Half open eyes not daring to see
My mouth is sealed, not able to speak
This ray of moonlight glancing through me

Do I believe in wonders? Do I believe in dreams?
Have I been touched by spirits, finding me when I'm asleep
The melody of mermaids keeps me awake at night
The eyes of starlit heavens following me secretly

Senses capture, my senses capture me
The melody of mermaids keeps me awake at night
The eyes of starlit heavens following me secretly

Shadows on the wall moving towards me
Wide open windows closing by the wind
My palms are wet, not able to move
The sound of voices humming in my ear

Do I believe in wonders? Do I believe in dreams?
Have I been touched by spirits, finding me when I'm asleep
The melody of mermaids keeps me awake at night
The eyes of starlit heavens following me secretly

Senses capture, my senses capture me
The melody of mermaids keeps me awake at night
The eyes of starlit heavens following me secretly

My senses capture me, my eyes fail to see
I smell the winter come and go, I hear the migrants leave
Emotions capture me, my mind stops to feel
My lips move without sense, I feel the words are on your way

A Winter's Poem

One million crystals on the outside of my window
One single thought, a thought of missing you
But only one word from within me
Describes the thought without of you

Ice feathers on my window
Reveal a single thought
A painting of your eyes
Is a sign that you do know

One million crystals
Not enough to page your beauty
Beauty of your soul
300 days I counted
Almost a year,
A year of missing you

Ice feathers on my window
Reveal a single thought
A painting of your eyes
Is a sign that you do know

Once again waters change
Winter spell comes to life again

Ice feathers on my window
Reveal a single thought
A painting of your eyes
Is a sign that you do know

Ice crystals on my window
Hide frozen life inside
Ice storm outside these walls
But I feel my heart is warm

Solemn Sea (Demo Version)

Seil den sterke sj? solen
Har gott ned I det vide havet
I det m?rke dypet hviler
En dr?m om et ukjent land

The music of your heartbeat brightens me
Turn my fears into hope, oceans of blue

Darkening sky, the shadows fall
Foaming waves shatter us
I cry aloud into the sky
Solemn sea, save me...

Watch and wait for the next
Attacking wave, ice-cold rain
The black mirror of the sea
Watching me, save me...

The music of your heartbeat brightens me
Turn my fears into hope, oceans of blue

A thunder storm roars at me
My body shakes in the rain
Lightening rays spearing me
A thousand spears haunting me

Vinland Saga (2005)



Vinland Saga

1000 years ago a Viking ship
Left Norway in the spring

Tiden er kommet
Tiden vil vise
The saga of Vinland
A saga of Norsemen

The new world they found they called Vinland
The Land of Wine

Stormen forte skipet
Vestover mot ukjent land

Farewell Proud Men

Look above into the misty air
I hear the waves reminding me of fear
I'm not alone but I am still confused
Will you return and will your dreams come true?

Across the sea into shallow water
Long ships' sails and sweeping oars
To walk the shore of a new land
To serve the shores of golden sand
Across the sea into shallow water
Long ships' sails and sweeping oars
To walk the shore of a new land
To serve the shores of golden sand

Farewell proud men
Spirits will guide you
May they save you
Farewell proud men

Frightening ocean sacred as the wind
I beg you please be careful with these men
At night I dream of wonders and of change
Will I receive a message from you then?

Far way from our own home
Show me a future
Open the palace door
And I will follow you

Solemn Sea

Seil den sterke sjø
Solen har gått ned
I det vide havet
I det mørke dypet
Hviler en drøm
Om et ukjent land
[English translation:]
Sail the strong lake
The sun has gone down
In the wide sea
In the dark depth
Rests a dream
About an unknown land/country

The music of your heartbeat brightens me

Turn my fears into hope
Oceans of blue

Darkening sky the shadows fall
Foaming waves shatter us
I cry aloud to the sky
Solemn sea save me

Solemn sea save me

Watch and wait for the next
Attacking waves, ice cold rain
The black mirror of the sea
Watching me, save me

The humming of the waves frightens me

Turn my fears into hope
Oceans of blue

A thunder storm roars at me
My body shakes in the rain
Lightening rays spearing me
A thousand spears haunting me

Leaves' Eyes

Summer goes
Winter comes
Leaves fall on frozen grounds
True love lasts forever
I imagine you in a thousand glimpses
Moonlight you keep me safe at night
And I know you're here if I fall

Seasons change
Spirits wake up
Birds fly away to far-away homes
True love lasts forever
I imagine you in a thousand glimpses

Moonlight you keep me safe at night
And I know you're here if I fall
Starlight show me the way in the dark
And I know you're here when I call

Leaves' Eyes

Children grow up
Parents grow old
Man's wives become mothers to sons
Sunna hides
Mani glows
Stars are watching over us

The Thorn

I hope that he will be safe
Hopefully return in April
I've heard the winds speak of a fight
And it hit my heart like a thorn

Whispering voice appear
I can't escape what I feel
All I can see
All I believe in
Is connected to our kindred souls

I feel the thorn in my/your flesh
The pounding of blood in my/your head
I/you cry aloud
I/you cry of anger
My/your enemy will never forget me/you

I heard you calling my name
I saw your colourless face
Fire in your eyes
Where do you go to?
I dreamt of an enemy threatening you

Hold me
Breathe with me
Until the end of time
