Dunkelheit
When night falls
she cloaks the world
in impenetrable darkness.
A chill rises
from the soil
and contaminates the air
suddenly...
life has new meaning.

Crossroads
I've got nothing on my mind,
Nothing to remember,
Nothing to forget.
And I've got nothing to regret.
But I'm all tied up on the inside,
No one knows quite what I've got,
And I know that on the outside
What I used to be
I'm not
anymore.
You know I've heard about people like me
But I never made the connection.
They walk one road to set them free
And find they've gone the wrong direction.
But there's no need for turning back
Cause all roads lead to where I stand;
And I believe I'll walk them all
No matter what I may have planned.
Can you remember who I was?
Can you still feel it?
Can you find my pain?
Can you heal it?
Then lay your hands upon me now
And cast this darkness from my soul.
You alone can light my way.
You alone can make me whole
Once again.
We've walked both sides of every street
Through all kinds of windy weather;
But that was never our defeat
As long as we could walk together.
So there's no need for turning back
Cause all roads lead to where we stand;
And I believe we'll walk them all
No matter what we may have planned.

The Morning Mist. Birds. And Today a Head Full of Memories.
When I was in my teens I slept in my mothers boat house by the lake in Reed.
From early may till late september I slept there in my sleeping bag on a thin mattress.
On rainy days the water came trickling through the cracks in the ceiling.
I kept the doors open when I was there, all day, all night.
I lay silent and listened to the rain on the lake, and watched.
The morning mist. Birds. And today, a head full of memories.
When I was six or seven, my dad and ma split up
I remember yelling, crying, fighting and dad saying to me
'my boy, your mom is sick and i'll take you with me on an adventure'
she had locked her door, could'nt bare his lies anymore
I've never fully understood how he could cheat for years and not face the consequence
The morning mist. Birds. And today, a head full of memories.
Me and my friend, Kolbjørn we found his pa dead in front of their house
outside their front door he used to sit and smoke his cigarettes and drink beer
when they lowered his casket Kolbjørns face was like stone
his sister she screamed and cried, her only father was gone
so much changed that day, and it caused so much later on
The morning mist. Birds. And today, a head full of memories.
Now at 31 it's me by the bedside
now at 66 it's my pa on his deathbed
we both know the course of things, and our insignificance
my dad, my ma and i we're all atoned and at peace
with all our struggles, they all lie behind us
right now we just cry, afraid to see him leave
The morning mist. Birds. And today, a head full of memories.
