Tracks



01. S.I.B.A.L.D.

Music by René Rutten

02. Echoes Keep Growing

Music by Frank Boeijen, René Rutten
Lyrics by Silje Wergeland
I shut my eyes
I closed my mouth

Those echoes keeps growing

03. Areas

Music & lyrics by Tony Mansfield
People drifting from a distance
People arrive and depart

Fall into an area

People appear through the twilight
See them come in through the cold

Come into an area

Approaching me, approaching you
Could this areas here feel now approaching to

Here they come, here they go
From above, from below

There's a chance you may need
somewhere sometime

People are moving to music
Dancing the music profane

Fell into an area

People drifting from the distance
People arrive and depart

Fall into an area

Into an area...

04. Afterwords

Music by Frank Boeijen
Lyrics by Bart Smits
[feat. Bart Smits]

Doubt is creeping
Into the seams
Words keep breaking
Tearing at the weave

We've seen the signs
All through the years
Torn between
Our hopes and fears

Close your eyes
Just close your eyes now

Worlds collapsing
Shattered dreams
We're failing actors
In this final scene

Hold me now
Just hold me now, love

Love can't save us all
Love can't save us all
It can be ruthless
It can be cruel
Love can't save us all

Turn the light off
When you leave
Close the door
You're free from me

All the hurt
And all the pain
Are the afterwords
And they won't sustain

Break these ties
Just break these ties now

05. Tuning In, Fading Out

Music by Frank Boeijen
Lyrics by Silje Wergeland
This space I have coloured with life and faith
These tears and smiles I've gathered from joy and rage

I feel my thoughts go everywhere
Hung up on walls
Tuning in and fading out

06. Gemini III

Music by Frank Boeijen, René Rutten
Lyrics by Silje Wergeland
Did her skin feel as soft as you always said mine are to your fingers?
Did her eyes look as deep into your soul as you always said mine did?
Did you catch the moon together?

When I saw the look upon your face
I knew we had lost precious hours through our days

I didn't know it was possible to feel so alone being with you
Will I find my way home?

When I saw the look upon your face
I knew we had lost precious hours through our days

When I tried to move aside
I found you've glued me to your side
I knew we had lost precious hours

07. Afterlights

Music by Frank Boeijen

08. Sleep Paralysis

09. Bärenfels

Music by Frank Boeijen
Lyrics by Silje Wergeland
I hear echoes of the speech
These are shadows of the wall

Feel the past
