Withered Beauty Withered Beauty LIES (Björklund) The clouded sun has darkened From the mist his mind has risen He is imprisoned Distant cries from all around In his time of despair Shadows are everywhere Hope has faded from life For the last time the sky is dark On closing walls he left his mark "Leave me to myself No one can help me, no one but me!" "Murderer! Admit your crime and life can be spared Murderer! This may be your final chance!" But those words were left unsaid A broken neck to see him dead Soon his life will come to tan end No angels will come from heaven sent And the sun will rise And bury all of his lies People have gathered to see him die The crowd screaming questions, why? Soon his life will come to an end No angels will come from heaven sent And the sun will rise And bury all of his lies "Murderer! Confess and your life can be yours (again) Murderer! Confess, or else you will hang!" ("No! I have no regrets, I have no remorse. No, I will not cry, I leave myself to die!") ("So, by your own decision we hereby sentence you to eternity. May your name fall into oblivion!") And by the raise of a hand he was silenced Never again, never again He was left there hanging as they went away They left him for the vultures as prey Now his life has come to an end No angel came from heaven send But the sun will rise And bury all of his lies I cry for you my son lost for me Far from heaven you will be I shall bury all your lies All your lies... Lies... BROKEN (Bryntse) Anguish, pain, wrath Misery, disease, hate Suddenly, I was not myself A creature not me Suddenly, my sanity was gone Not knowing myself In the mist I'm eternally lost in my dreams Ruled by another conscious of my own No one hears the echoes of my eternal screams Alone, but not, inside myself I moan I am blind to feelings Yet, feelings tear me apart Inside myself I die But no one can tell me why Suddenly, I was not myself A creature not me Suddenly, my sanity was gone Not knowing myself Memories of another life that won't die Inflicting me with a wish of death I can not raise my hand in anger My subconscious leading my way VEIL OF NOTHING (Bryntse, Björklund) Darkness All that is before my eyes Nothing Lives inside my eyes Visions Of what could be out there Questions Eager to know, yearning for sight Lifeless Eyes that can not see Unseen Images of what could be Strange Illusions often cross my mind Searching Answers hidden far behind In my eyes, the landscape dies, never ever exist What is sight, what is light, how could I know Blind since birth, condemned by earth, left in cold alone See with hands, but never lands, life can be so bad THE WORM (Crister Olsson) Crawling below, striving forever The sky with its shine or blackness It will be mine, yes, I will reach it As I'm heading for the sky in my dreams My journey brings me deeper, deeper Only my will to crawl keeps me alive Pointless existence, guided by instincts Feeding others with myself If I had wings, the wind would take me there If I had a mind, my dreams would be destroyed I travelled far away I will never stop THROUGH SILENT SKIES (Björk) TWILIGHT DREAMING (Björklund) Sleep now my love, my sweetheart you are Hide the pearls of your eyes away from me far All is so silent as in the grave this now is Sleep, and each tear be gone by a kiss Still my love, the golden time this now is Then, well, the dawn is never like this And when your worries are there in your head Then you won't so easy slumber in bed Sleep now my love and if you hear Know that your love always be near If late or early I'll watch you And hope that you would do that too Now she's asleep, as a baby she lies Dreaming of wisdom, horror she cries I lie here holding on so tight Caressing, relieving her from all her fright Twilight dreaming Sleep now my love, all problems you'll hide Slumber, into the dreams you'll glide Pictures appear, unclear though it seems Now is silence, you've entered the dream DYING ALONE (Bryntse) I fall The golden walls surround me no more Though I laugh I know this ain't no fun at all Into the maze of pain My soul is cast, to be raped Screams Torment my ears, my fate is here The dawn no more place The place of disgrace Eternal dusk, my eyes are none Through darkness I stare My dreams are here...not Ridden by dark lord The mare haunts my mind Dimension of despair The edge of death My hands grips – none The fight is ended As I'm dying alone FAILURE (M. Björk, A. Björk, Bryntse) A piece of my mind wander away A sudden movement by a cloud Darkened the sky above Only a light shines through me And takes me far beyond my failure I vanish in my endless hall Dimensions pass me as I fall A cry for help is growing strong And leads to nothings greatest lounge Futile my life Futile my death I am myself I am my failure Deep down below echoes the tide And drowns the feelings kept inside The power haunts me like a ghost Leads me to places I fear most Inward withering in my soul I can not control it anymore JOUST ( Björklund) Fighting for your life I want to see you die For your defeat I strife You can not from me hide My strenght is fading I can not give up now Fatal strike I'm needing In my blood I drown Drifting, floating, flying away By a wind I'm spread astray Now will I leave and wait I died from your hate Drifting, floating, flying away By a wind I'm spread astray HE WHO COMES WITH THE DAWN (Björklund) Fleeing away from the dawn into the night Don't want to be the reborn, away from all night Prophecies will be fulfilled or will he be stilled?
