Hear that something... A pale misty sound The more things change the more they stay the same Heading out on high tide waves Not afraid to fall, I'm older now, still standing tall
I'm holding head above water Ain't going down I'm holding head above water Ain't going drown, Ain't going drown I'm holding head above water Can't hold me tied I'm holding head above water You can't break me... Shredded
I've spoke in different words... A grey soar voice Different lines, remain the same Heading out on high tide waves Not afraid to fall, I'm older now, still standing tall
On this quest for answers, shaped my eyes Without anger, wasted line Cant you sense this feeling, feel it flow I'm stronger now, let the tension go
I'm holding head above water Ain't going down I'm holding head above water Ain't going drown, Ain't going drown I'm holding head above water Can't hold me tied I'm holding head above water You can't break me... Shredded
From childhood's hour I have not been As others were I have not seen As others saw I could not bring My passions from a common spring From the same source I have not taken My sorrow, I could not awaken My heart to joy at the same tone; And all I loved, I loved alone Then- in my childhood in the dawn Of a most stormy life was drawn From every depth of good and ill The mystery which binds me still: From the torrent, or the fountain, From the red cliff of the mountain, From the sun that 'round me rolled In its autumn tint of gold From the lightning in the sky As it passed me flying by From the thunder and the storm, And the cloud that took form (When the rest of Heaven was blue) Of a demon in my view
Maybe Dreams apart You're visual for all Maybe Another time You're more than air In another state of mind You're still dancing In another state of mind
No need To be afraid You're not visual for all You're no more than air In another state of mind You're still dancing In another state of mind (You're there)
A vision, a call In times before my fall In life before I became I dreamed I was insane
I saw the unseen I heard the unheard I rode the sky above the earth I felt the breeze of the world What was lost I should have retrieved What was real Was long gone within of me
Crimson tide A wave of lost time Scenario of a velvet blue sky I dreamed about day But I lived in the night I looked and I saw That in my dream I was so free Red turned blue White became black The daylight erased my shadow Insanity reached me its hand Whispering velvet voice The sky above the stars The wind below the moon The light that create shadows The dark beyond the eyes:
I sat before myself I looked above below I embraced my living self Doves and birds, gras and trees Where was all I used to see? Why am I not what I used to be? That's the beauty of the mind
Night divide day, day erase night Light of day, day of Darkness
They are inside my head Climbing the walls Falling of the sealing Jumping on the floor Voices and calls On the edge of sanity I stumble and fall Through the gates of the endless halls
Come walk with me through the valley of eternity In passion I see the light Am I the one only the mirror sees?
A distant calling Lost in memories Lost in the maze of the mind The secret place that none have seen Silent cries of despair What sanity remains
Within this fragile mind I am alone again Me, myself and I Echoes pounds my head Shapeless forms everywhere
I think, therefore I am You are a fantasy made by me I dream this world When I end, the world will end with me, I am everything,You are me
"Sleep my child" to never be awakened again:
I fell asleep, to sweet lullaby A sleep in which I had a dream And in this dream I conceived a perfect plan That would change the face of man
For it was my dream To create a perfect world From this cold imperfect world And all the answers were inside my mind
And I was unafraid The dream was so enticing But now I see it fade And I am here alone, all alone Once again The soul of an angel Lives forever The love of the innocent Lasts forever A moments passion I hear a desperate cry
I weep for the weak I pray for the strong Through Crimson eye And Shattered lie, I behold the sacrifice Of the innocent life
There's blood on the bended knee The light paint a shadow on me Will I forsake you Or will I the forsaken be?
I left my body Come meet me in my dreams It's been so long Would you know me?
Time stands still, but I wonder
Who's watching over you Who's watching over me
As a traveller I seek hospitality As a wanderer I seek immortality As a journey in insanity I seek divine comparity
I sit here alone, so cold Left in the dark, to feel Pitty my soul What is left to say? What is left to see? Where did I fail? Where did I go wrong?
I am so lost Still I am so free But my heart just Won't stop to bleed
In Twilight atmosphere Sirens seductive call Is summoning me To my New World A brave new world Where right is wrong Where justice is gone
Funeral Symphony Behind me, a dark shaping mass I turn and face the face of deception A face without the warmth Of dignity and grace
I see the unseen, I hear the unheard I learned the secret That none before me had learned
Watch me and my new desire I am emptier than ever But I feel complete Take my hand and watch me as:
I conceal myself in shadows Until night falls I am who I am I just want to be And once again the night Seems to outlast me
I hear a voice Who could it be? Is there anybody else here with me? Why do you torture me? Wont you leave me be?
Am I whom I should be? For all that you are lies wholly within of me
Out of reach, out of sight I feel strange and lost, can you lead me right? It's too dark for me to see Capture of soul, won't you please forgive me?
I heard the tales I learned the secret way That tears are replacements For what has been taken away From us and what we've lost Still, all I see is burning fields Still, all I hear is dying screams
I am the future I am the past
I am what you wish for The god you wish to be
I am the voice Behind the silent scream
I am the dark I am the light you never see
I am the blood That makes your soul free
I am pure I am unclean
It takes one to be a god It takes one to feel lonely
It takes two to outlast me It takes two to feel complete
It takes a moon to light the stars It takes a light to see the dark
If what I wrote was real Could I then a God be? Would what I see Then be part of reality? Would I then reach divine entity?
Forced out of sleep the dream was to real And on the other side i was you and you were blind Forced into deep no dream that could heal the feeling of disbelief as I was you and you were blind
I've been badly beaten But somehow I've stumbled on And this wonderland you planed for me Never felt like home And the more I tried the more I realized
I don't believe in things I cannot see I've had enough Don't you understand I'm half the man? I've said enough The life I used to live I have left behind The pile of doubt you had in me went on to shine I am over I am gathered, strong unstoppable
You remember how I used to be You remember a connection so strong You remember how sweet it was You remember only you But the more I tried the more I realized
I don't believe in things I cannot see I've had enough Don't you understand I'm half the man? I've said enough The life I used to live I have left behind The pile of doubt you had in me went on to shine
I am over I am gathered, strong unstoppable
I don't believe in things I cannot see I've had enough Don't you understand I'm half the man? I've said enough The life I used to live I have left behind The pile of doubt you had in me went on to shine
If there were no darkness There would be no light If there were no rain There would be tears in my eyes I am life I am death Before you see the light You must take your last breath I don't feel what I am supposed to feel I don't dream what I am supposed to dream I don't say what I am supposed to say I don't see what I am supposed to see
Dead but dreaming You make me strong and I make you weak The perfect mismatch and disharmony Tired are the feet That crossed the floor Hell's doing great but I am serving no more
If there were no heaven There would be no hell If I couldn't feel I would probably hurt myself I open my eyes but I cannot see The people I looked up to are not for real
Lonely is the soul empty are the eyes Vague is the flame that used to burn in your eyes Knocking before passing through the doors The love that used to live here Lives no more Dead but dreaming, memories remain The flesh summons pain and I do the same Silent Anguish and silent scream She screams for more and that is not a dream
He took a long look in the mirror Shook his head Felt the arms of God letting go Couldn't breathe It had to stop Voices screaming out inside of him The world was turning black Cold, cruel and vicious Time was knocking on a closing door Wanting more
Playing pieces of a life long play In which the starring actor Makes the world go around inside his head Then suddenly the act is ending The lights are dimming and the music's fading
There was a woman lying on the floor Blueish, pale Staring a hole through his soul There was blood underneath The shotgun lying next too her He mumbled "am I closer now Is this the path that God has chosen out for me?"

"Cut", he said. "Let's wrap it up! We're finished here!"

아브라함과 이삭의 이야기도 떠오르는 <The Boy In The Attic>은 가사를 쓴 쵸르트(Tchort)의 이야기처럼 들리기도 한다. 젊은 날 최악의 범죄를 저질렀던 쵸르트(Tchort)가 긴 시간이 흐른 후 이번엔 자신을 아버지이게 했던 어린 딸을 잃음으로써 슬픔에 빠지고 딸에의 송가이자 다시 얻은 아들에의 선물인, 그리고 자신의 인간적·음악적 성숙의 결실이었던 [Light of Day, Day of Darkness]를 만들었다고 할 수 있는데, [A Blessing In Disguise]에도 그 아련한 향취는 남아있다. 아직도 그는 치유 받지 못했고 앨범 커버아트와 그의 가사는 사연을 아는 이들에게 특별하게 다가온다. 그래서일까? 노르트후스(Kjetil Nordhus, 보컬)가 쓴, 지금...
