The Game (Fooled Again)
Written by Eirin Bendigtsen
 

Beauty in every single one
But do I see beyond the veil
You put on for me?

Diamonds or ordinary rocks?
Am I totally naive?

You caught me with your playful eyes
I was fooled again
You touched me with velvet skin
Shivers down my spine
You turned me on and blew me off
I am burning
You hurt me deep within
My world is turning

Restless hunting one more time
It's a careless search
I don't know what I'll find

Recharge my broken heart again
That's why I play the game again

You caught me with your playful eyes
I was fooled again
You touched me with velvet skin
Shivers down my spine
You turned me on and blew me off
I am burning
You hurt me deep within
My world is turning

Trusting You
Written by Eirin Bendigtsen
 

Hoping to stay together allways
That's what you say
Still there's something
You just can't believe in

I say it is easy to escape if the door's still open
I say it is easy to give up if there's no strings attached

I will be trusting you
I will give you my heart
I will believe you and me are
Ment to be

Give me the feelings you can't ignore
I will be there, I will be there
Give me a taste of your ordinary life
I will be yours, I will be yours

What's the point in living
if you prepare to die?
What's the point in loving
if you prepare to leave?

I say it is easier to rest if there's silence in your life
I say it is easy to stand trough if there's something to fight for

I will be trusting you
I will give you my heart
I will believe you and me are
Ment to be

Dies Irae
Written by Eirin Bendigtsen / trad.
 

Dies irae, dies illa
Solvet saeclum in favilla
Teste David cum Sibylla

It feels like the end og this world
It feels like there's nothing left for you

Will you be living among the dead?
Will you be frozen in thy grief?

Quantos tremor est futurus
Quando judex est venturus

Can you ever find it in your heart?
Can you ever let him go?

Take these hand I offer you in sorrow
Take these hands, come live among the living

Quando judex est venturus
Cuncta stricte discussurus

I want to live forever
I want to be eternal
I wish for heaven
I wish for heaven

Shining Path
Written by Eirin Bendigtsen
 

Sometimes I recall an impression
Your faded face
I have never been so disappointed
You have fallen from grace

I've been drifting away in my life
I lost my leading star
I am sometimes yearning and hoping
To find a better way

Someone give me the gift to see
I am lost and I need to move on
Someone give me a hand to hold on to
Someone give me a shining path

Shining path

I am sometimes so vain and so selfish
Sometimes I hurt you
Deep inside me I long to be tender

Shining path

I can sometimes see you in the mirror
It really frightens me
What can I do?
I do not want to be your reflexion
I want control of my actions!

Someone give me the gift to see
I am lost and I need to move on
Someone give me a hand to hold on to
Someone give me a shining path

Shining path

Edge of Sanity
Written by Eirin Bendigtsen
 

Do I have to hide my eyes?
Do I have to turn away?

Narsiscistic love replacing
The touch of a mothers hand
Ballet on the edge of sanity
Will history repeat itself?

Do I have to hide my eyes behind this veil?
Do I have to turn away in shame?

Vivid nightmares at daytime
The poison from your words
Infected your soul
Infected your soul

Do I have to hide my eyes behind this veil?
Do I have to turn away in shame?

Hollow
Written by Eirin Bendigtsen
 

Feelings I don't understand
Emotional states I can not explain
Emptyness with no apparent cause
You say I'm broken – heal me if you can!

Using admiration as a substitute for love
Working to suppress the feelings based on my reflexions

Trying not to think
So afraid, would I brake?
Invisible for those I love
Can you see me? Take me as I am!

Using admiration as a substitute for love
Working to suppress the feelings based on my reflexions

Existing like a sleepwalker
Wake me up, take my hand and give me what i need!

Playing with the tought of failure –Could it be my saviour?
Craving to have something as a substitute for love

Save Myself
Written by Eirin Bendigtsen
 

Innocent memories
rubbing my skin
Invisible like fragments
of broken glass

I have to stay away
to save myself
I have to go my own way
to feel my heartbeat

I can't resist the offers
you will give me
Fragile like snow melting
in your hands

I have to stay away
to save myself
I have to go my own way
to feel my heartbeat

The Falls Embrace
Written by Magnus Aspli
 

Autumnwinds are dancing in my hair
The world overdrawn with grayness
The leaves painted in colours unknown
From other eyes it might look fair

My eyes were ghastly dim
A paleness had seeped over them
Tears ran with the rain down
The sun had sung behind the rim

Bleak eyes see a distant past
Reach for life
Nothing to grab
Fell back dead into this world
In embrace we fell

Among the leaves I lay silent
Warmth flowing through our fingers
We kissed as our tears fell astray
The poor moon watched in awe

Bleak eyes see a distant past
Reach for life
Nothing to grab
Fell back dead into this world

Withering Me
Written by Kristian Andersen
 

Why can't you see the love in me
like the love in me see you
Drowned in seas of agony
of darkness and dispair
Trying to recover but restrained
to the muddy flats of my heart
What's left for me to do?

But its allways there
So if you dare
explore my world with me
Open your mind
to another kind of love
and you will see
that the love in me
will stare at you
and together we will be

Pacing along allready trodden paths
In fear of what I can't see
I chose the easy way out intread
Now your gone, I'm all alone
With my withering and empty mind
I scream my dispear out to the world
And shake my fist at my weakness

But its allways there
So if you dare
explore my world with me
Open your mind
to another kind of love
and you will see
that the love in me
will stare at you
and together we will be

The cross I made for myself
Bear witness of loves cold decay
In the shadows of passion
From the past
All this due to the creativity
Of my naivity
And blind belief in faith

But its allways there
So if you dare
explore my world with me
Open your mind
to another kind of love
and you will see
that the love in me
will stare at you
and together we will be

Lux Aeterna
Written by Eirin Bendigtsen / trad.
 

Lux aeterna. lux aeterna
Luceat eis, domine
Cum sanctis, in aeternam
Quia pius es domine

Requiem aeternam
Requiem, dona eis

In the darkest hours
seems like there's no return
falling down
going under

A dream to follow
A path to go
Dancing in the shadows
Drawn towards the light

Lux aeterna. lux aeterna
Luceat eis, domine

It's easy to surrender
If the goal is hard to reach
Trying hard
Losing anyway

To see what matters
To change reality
Feel the power, forget the failures
See what you can do

Cum sanctis, in aeternam
Quia pius es domine

Requiem aeternam
Requiem, dona eis

A dream to follow
A path to go
Dancing in the shadows
Drawn towards the light

Lux aeterna. lux aeterna
Luceat eis, domine
Cum sanctis, in aeternam
Quia pius es domine
