A storm
Will arise Building up From the hearts of the moons of Mars Be prepared For the day When we walk from the darkness Out into light Dawn Drawing near Comes a time 'cause the system is breaking down Be prepared For the day When we walk from the darkness Out into light 02. Ricochet Music by Anekdoten Lyrics by Jan Erik Liljeström
Hear me breathe
From the other room So which of all the lies you told Should I keep as my own? The metaphors are lost on me What I see is what I see The earth is moving - time to say goodbye? Only sky ahead Love's so hard to find I saw it coming, Saw it go wailing down the line Will I see you again? A window closed, an opened door Some seven steps away My actions caught up finally Beyond the watchword wait and see Beyond the undecisive ways of mine Only sky ahead Love's so hard to find I saw it come and saw it go Somewhere down the line Down the line The dream machine's on speed My head's up in the clouds We met up on the ledge And I could read your mind And though things fall asleep Nothing ever dies I caught it on the bounce And now we float - hands outstretched - Along the river 03. The War Is Over Music by Anekdoten Lyrics by Jan Erik Liljeström
A light shines above
A trace of the sky Reflecting in my lover's eye The sun going down On a war, lost or won All is silent in this newborn world of peace We're the only ones awake to see It's not a case of right and wrong It's all about to be You and me So come and bless my soul It's all about to be A blue whippoorwill sings On the other side of the rain We're through with the games We survived the hate and the pain The storm's gone away So come my kingdom come - come today 04. What Should But Did Not Die Music by Anekdoten Lyrics by Jan Erik Liljeström
I make images of you
Ideal more than true I glue photos on my wall Ladder bound to fall And now seeing you again Will it ever end? Here I've no way to deny What should but did not die Dark of day and light of night OutsideInsideOut Perfume circling around my brain Draws me in again Hopeless, helpless soul unchained I succumb again Come to me and make me blind Dark-eyed dream of mine 05. SW4 Music by Anekdoten Lyrics by Jan Erik Liljeström
The lights have all turned red
On holloway road A pale vision of inertia In cold halogen glow The last clapham bound train Is waiting to leave But the engine-driver's fallen Asleep at the wheel When I picked up the phone My hopes were put on hold The outgoing wires were humming My heart was growing cold No rattling of keys No break before the dawn I still wait for my relief What's taking him so long? 06. Gravity Music by Anekdoten Lyrics by Jan Erik Liljeström
Soon an angel's leaving
They're ruled by laws of gravity Soon this door is closing And you'll never know unless you go No, you'll never know if you won't go Wishing well of wonders Glitter box of dreams Inside lie bitter pills You know I never wanted To sing for your lover But the angels sang of love And outside the night was falling Fly - fiery angels kiss the sky Won't you shine your light down on me Fly - through the blazing cosmic eye No, you'll never know if you won't go Eleven ways to lose your mind Seven ways to shine Four doors that may take you in One that's closed behind I should have seen you leaving But I never thought you'd go No, I never thought you'd walk away It's getting dark, too dark to see And angel's a long time gone Too many things I can't combine With logic reason How can I tell the black from white If all is black and blue? God knows where I'm going When the keeper waves me through... 07. The Games We Play Music by Anekdoten Lyrics by Jan Erik Liljeström
I wonder how
We should fill the open space After lunch time tea In the rosary And the evening picnic by the sea Tell me your name I am game if you want to play Tell riddles in the hall Play hide and seek or ball Or if you'd like to sneak out through the wall 08. Seljak Music by Anekdoten
