THESE ARE OLD HANDS
The Wind tells stories
Of those lost at sea
As night is creeping closer
A light in the Window
And a song in your Heart
I just want to come home
I smell the earth
And dream of the sea
My days are getting shorter
Three steps from the grave
Two wishes from home
The night is nearly over
If fate would come
To break my stride
Before I reach the harbour
Lay me down
In the same cold ground
That wore me to the bone
Speak no words
And shed no tears
They will be lost forever
Three steps from the grave
Two wishes from home
The night is nearly over
Let the rains come
To wash us all away
Time to let go of these old hands of mine
Raise your fists
Towards the sky
Days are slowly fading
I curse the ground
I walk upon
Won’t carry me any longer
Break the soil
And dig a hole
Go sit in it forever
Three steps from the grave
Two wishes from home
The night is nearly over
Let the rains come
To wash us all away
Time to let go of these old hands of mine

NORTH ROAD

NORTH ROAD
I've seen the snow come and go
Oh so many times before
But the snow that now gathers
I fear will lie forever
Old man winter walks yet again
Upon the North Road to the end
I´ve set foot at last
Upon this long North Road
Every step is a prayer
As I pay what is owed
Old man winter walks yet again
Upon the North Road to the end
I talk to the mountains
Of all my sorrows
I tell them my regrets
I sing them your name
Old man winter walks yet again
Upon the North Road to the end
I know bones go brittle
And that flesh always grows weak
The years wield rough fists
And it sure has a wicked streak
How the sunny days lay lost
Deep beneath the covers of snow
Long forgotten sunshine
Warms my heart as I go
Oh o how the sunny days lay lost

WHEN THE LIGHT DIES

WHEN THE LIGHT DIES
Leave me in shadows
When the light dies
There is no place left for me to hide
Oppgang:
I give no helping hand
I sure won’t teach you how to breathe
When the light dies
Oh when the light dies
Leave me in shadows
When the light dies
Ref (det helt stille partiet):
No such thing
Will touch me anymore
When the light dies
To a long lost soul
With a wanderer’s heart
There is hope hidden somewhere in the dark
I give no helping hand
I sure won’t teach you how to breathe
When the light dies
Oh when the light dies
Leave me in shadows
When the light dies
No such thing
Will touch me anymore
When the light dies
Don’t wait for a morning
That will never come
Make peace with the dying of the light
I give no helping hand
I sure won’t teach you how to breathe
When the light dies
Oh when the light dies
Leave me in shadows
When the light dies
No such thing
Will touch me anymore
When the light dies

LOW
I’ll bury all
You ever gave me
I’ll bury all
That you ever gave to me
How the river flows
It always pulls me
How the river flows
It pulls me down
Low was the name you gave me
One I carry with pride
Low was the name you gave me
I will carry it with pride
In low places I’ll be
In low places I’ll hide
Lay me low
Full fathom five
Lay me low
A feast for crows
I know a winding road
A scar across the land
I know a winding road
Cuts like a knife across the land
Low was the name you gave me
One I carry with pride
Low was the name you gave me
I will carry it with pride
In low places I’ll be
In low places I’ll hide

HOW STRANGE THE SILENCE

HOW STRANGE THE SILENCE
How strange the silence
Deep and timeless
It lays heavy in the night time air
All those voices
Lost and waiting
Echo through a windless night
Words found wanting
Words forgotten
I treated my own words like slaves
Oh silence
How strange the silence
When all is gone and taken away
Speak from the heart
Let the soul out
Or bind your tongue and speak not at all
Oh fire
Sacred fire
Your warmth is lost on these old bones
So it all went
And passed us by
Those days are gone, oh so long gone
Oh silence
How strange the silence
When all is gone and taken away

NEPTUNE BROTHERS
You move like trouble down the mountain
Dreams on the river
A snake in the bloodstream
Winds that make me shiver
Keep your eyes on the horizon
Hands on the lever
Hide everything and everyone
Bury it forever
The mane of the mare you cling to
Hair white as silver
Fingers break and let go
Fall out into winter
Break the stone break the bone
Go on swing the hammer
Grind mountains to dust
Choke life out of summer
Settle down and settle up
Pay what is owed
Lay your hands upon the barrel
Chop them off and go
Tongue sharp as glass
Cuts me over and over
With the whip of a serpent
Caress me like a lover
