1. Submission [Music written by Niclas Frohagen 2006] [Arranged by Niclas Frohagen 2006-2007] [Lyrics written by Niclas Frohagen 2007] There, in the radiance of deceit A broken body and a shattered mind Screaming without making a sound So weak and weary from its defeat Forever detached from a world of dreams Left staring into bottomless perdition Deep down where lasting torments await Draped in unquestionable delusion There, in the radiance of deceit Facing final submission 2. Selfdestructive [Music written by Niclas Frohagen 2006] [Arranged by Niclas Frohagen 2007-2008] [Lyrics written by Niclas Frohagen 2007] Listen, to the sound of falling The decline of a beautiful yesterday Spiraling down a pitch black forever Into the essence of your desperate idea A creation of a weary and exhausted mind Feeding upon its own poisoned fruits And craving for our final decline To let go and be pulled beneath Can you hear it, the lamenting river The river that has whispered our names Once i stared into its cold black eye As if tomorrow would never come Sometimes i wonder if you do the same If you yearn for that deadly kiss Wanting to escape your plaguing burden And reach out for a moment of peace I never thought it would come to this That we would end up in this weary state Like shades of a forgotten Eden In constant denial of all that was us Killing ourselves to live a lie Killing ourselves without knowing why Searching for peace but finding pain We are suffering from selfish ambitions 3. Detached [Music written by Niclas Frohagen 2006] [Arranged by Niclas Frohagen 2006-2007] [Lyrics written by Niclas Frohagen 2007] I felt the world turn away Without saying why To leave me trembling among The thorns of the waste To be swallowed by myself and the darkness that is me All I asked for was a dream to live Or a final farewell Please tell me why I can't be there And have to seek shelter in isolation Please tell me why I choose to escape And leave the world that could be mine I don't know when I don't know how But somehow I lost it The will to see beyond I am stuck with the shadows Of my own destruction And I sink with the wreckage Of my broken dream Save me... Save me... Please tell me why I can't be there To welcome another beautiful day To taste the sweet honey of life And smile upon all that was granted to me Please tell me why I choose isolation And detach myself from the ones I love It seems like I really lost it And now the world lost me 4. Moments In Solitude [Music written by Niclas Frohagen 1997] [Arranged by Niclas Frohagen 2006-2007] [Lyrics originally written by Niclas Frohagen in 1997 rearranged in 2006] Embraced by shadows Feels like I'm dead to this world This withering grey existence A paradise for a sleepwalking kind Suppressed screams echo inside They carve at my fragile state I'm plagued by my own pathetic misery A creation of a diverted mind These moments in solitude Makes me wanting to escape Far, far away from here To where I rule my own life A kingdom for myself A place without fear And with no need of your gods That's where I find eternal peace Somewhere among nowhere That's where I linger In my moments in solitude Seeking comfort beyond my grasp But it's all an empty vision And I'm still here Falling through skies of darkness That shrouds my life with hatred and lies I never wanted to feel sorry for myself But I can't seem to find another way out 5. Pernicious [Music written by Niclas Frohagen 2006] [Arranged by Niclas Frohagen 2007] [Lyrics written by Niclas Frohagen 2006] And so, another day unfolds Another day dressed in black Ready to pull me further down Down the spiral of my decay I'm lost in a growing hell A darkness I can't bear My hours are gone My days are dead Oh, please turn on the light And give me comfort for a while One last moment of peace A chance to breathe Grant me some golden beams And let them dance upon my face Silence my bitter words And let me smile And so, the colors fade away No longer are they mine Only black and blue to paint The world that burnt my eyes And nailed me to my cross I'm at their mercy now Helpless and exhausted To be devoured Oh, please turn on the light And tell me this is not the end I'm not ready yet For departure I know it's just in vain To think that things can be undone But all I'm asking for Is an escape Oh, please turn on the light And tell me it was just a dream Let me awake somewhere else Somewhere far away Once I reached out my hands And they opened up my veins Once I reached out my hands To the pernicious 6. Deprived [Music written by Niclas Frohagen 2006] [Arranged by Niclas Frohagen 2006-2007] [Lyrics written by Niclas Frohagen 2005] Once there was a smile Filled with radiant bliss Breathing summers pride In the midst of a beautiful life Oh, how it danced upon her face Painting nothing but perfection Her eyes stared into tomorrow As fragile wings spread wide open Through gardens of deceit Where delusive pleasures grow She followed a sweet perfume Into the depths of a twilight dream There in sunny beams he did appear With poisoned flowers for his prey Like a divinity for blind worship He smiled and reached out his hand With visions of grand beauty And words of promised lands Her mind was slowly intoxicated By a yearning for that glorious light Sleepwalking she entered the delusion Sleepwalking she entered his golden cage And wings of liberty fell dead As she awoke from her slumber Once there was a smile But now it's dead and gone Buried beneath a lifeless mask That hides the wreckage that is her Another angel fallen from grace Deprived of all that once was Unable to see her own tomorrow And destined to fade away Line-up: Niclas Frohagen : Guitars / Synth / Programming / Vocals "Six Waves of Woe" was written, performed and produced in Stockholm, Sweden 2005-2008 by Niclas Frohagen.
