01. A New Beginning

[Kelly]
Won't you come in, I promise
You no more waiting
How it pleases me to welcome
You home
I know you've languished long
Without a song to wrap you in
The twilight
Light a candle an I'll beckon
You on

Dreams we weave here,
Another nightmare,
Your pain and sorrow, spun
Into gold
The lonely moonlight calling
Stars are falling into ever on
And the whisper of the trees
Speaks alone

Scatch out the mirror's face
Burn down and leave no trace
The gilded prison of your soul
Dig deep within the earth
Rejoice at your rebirth
Take back the purity they stole

A thousand tones carried into this world
To you, for you
I paint the pictures
You breath through them
For you I paint the pictures
You live your life through them

Dreams we weave here will
Swallow all your fears
A soul so hollow spun into gold
And now your mind is bending
Thoughts descending as we
March along
And the whisper of the trees
Speaks alone

Scatch out the mirror's face
Burn down and leave no trace
The gilded prison of your soul
Dig deep within the earth
Rejoice at your rebirth
Take back the purity they stole

A thousand tones carried into this world
To you, for you
I paint the pictures
You breath through them
For you I paint the pictures
You live your life through them

[Kelly & Truls]
You cannot touch it, yet it
Consumes you
And it grows
Untamed
Until...

[Truls]
It knows no shame

This is the new beginning

[Kelly]
A thousand tones carried into this world
To you, for you
I paint the pictures
You breath through them
For you I paint the pictures
You live your life through them

02. Aggrezzor

[Truls]
Sell your life and soul
On the World Wide Web
Fear is in your eyes
So much you don't know
Generation television

Hear me
And see me
Social medias
For you
And you've been looking for me too

Go right
Ahead and
Share your life
To be
Exploited

Ever wondered what your info is used to?

Never believe
In mirrors, news
And magazines
[Kelly & Truls] Ride your fears

[Kelly]
Aggressions flow inside my veins, it's part of me
Test me once and get infected, bite the bullet

[Truls]
Aggressions out of control
Head against the wall
I waste no pity on you
You're stuck in your own external never

I'm sick and tired of spam robots
Lamer asshats, script kiddies
Fucking n00bs
Guess you're still looking for it
In your ass
Generation PC vision

Best way
To predict
Your own
Future
Is to
Create it now you know it

Strange as - strange as
It may seem - may seem
My life's based on - based on
A true
Story

Make no mistakes of me now

Never believe
In mirrors, news
And magazines
[Kelly & Truls] Ride your fears

[Kelly]
Aggressions flow inside my veins, it's part of me
Test me once and get infected, bite the bullet

[Truls]
Aggressions out of control
Head against the wall
I waste no pity on you
You're stuck in your own external never

03. Darkness Delight

[Kelly]
You sense my presence
Even though you cannot see me
If you only walk on sunny days
You'll never reach your destination
Don't ever regret
'Cause you'll regret
What you regretted
So smile
Black, the colour of my inner soul

[Truls]
Just why my head is not bowed
I really don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud
Freedom in all is mystery
For some a way of diying
For some a way to live
A bullet in the back
Freedom is the bread we eat
Let it be the way we die
I am the root

Crater in Shadowland
Leading to raw magma, fierce as raging
Blood, wired, boiling
Solid, my razors cut deeper
The internal sun, a black
Corona above ashes
Formed
And reformed in a circle
Now you understand
I am the root

[Kelly]
You're the one that's living in a dream
That is not reality
There are many realities
Not only one
[Truls] Face it
[Kelly] These tales are wrought with sadness
Lands of death and realms of madness
Journeying through streets on the run
Counting the shadows, one by one

[Truls]
Sweet taste of darkness
So warm and bittersweet
Laughing with such happiness
Swiftly moving like a merry go around
Dancing the deadly river
Darkness closes in
I know nothing
But this peace within

The dark is where I dwell
My home
I like to stay in the shadows
Your official private hell
Darkness delight

[Kelly]
Just why my head is not bowed
I really don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud
Freedom in all is mystery
For some a way of diying
For some a way of live
A bullet in the back
Freedom is the bread we eat
Let it be the way we die
I am the root

Crater in Shadowland
[Truls] Leading to raw magma, fierce as raging
[Kelly] Blood, wired, boiling
Solid, my razors cut deeper
[Truls] The internal sun
[Kelly] A black
Corona above ashes
Formed
And reformed in a circle
Now you understand

[Truls]
The dark is where I dwell
My home
I like to stay in the shadows
Your official private hell
Darkness delight

04. Dark To The Bone

[Kelly]
With a frost-bitten hand
I cut through stone
And there is lightning in my mind
I'm dark to the bone

Your heart is on fire
And I watch it burn
You give me all that I desire
Into the mist I return

And your name is carved in stone
I'm dark to the bone

When our souls are united
We live through the boundless
Fire in your hearts ignited
Complete - unbreakable chains
Only you can wake this side of me
Only you I let into to the chamber of my heart
Only you I honor
Only
You

And your name is carved in stone
I'm dark to the bone

[Truls] Hey!

[Kelly]
And your name is carved in stone
I'm dark to the bone

05. Evil Spirit

[Kelly]
Within this horror
Even the water is on fire
And you are on the top of my list
Your mouth is open
And words come out

[Truls]
It's just to keep me quiet

Call yourself those names that will make you
Smile, make your ego swell
Make you feel so well
Intoxicated by your words Your sinful speech
These things you teach

It's just to keep me quiet
I'll cross the line
Barrier, watch you get scarier
Your face twisted with fury
Contorted with rage
Regrets hang heavy on the tongue
As yesterday disappear

It's just to keep me quiet

[Kelly]
Worship what is less
Than what is not

[Truls]
Necessary fictions
Feeding your ego

[Kelly] It is not the words

[Truls]
It's the spaces in-between
Your tongue's cold steel rusting in my mouth

I'm drunk on the sweet
Nothings you give so freely
Revenge is just a primitive form of grief
Can you understand?

Come into the darkness with me
Your heart still misses
Those old days
And you want to go back
Why go back
Because of the comfort

06. Married To The Cause

[Kelly] Pillow whisper
[Truls] Unspoken
Silently our communications flows
[Kelly] What you do not say I already know

Proudly wear the sign
[Truls] The tattoo of lustful soul
[Kelly] Hidden rings
Shining in secrecy
Trust we share
So strong and true
Tied hands hold the key

[Kelly & Truls] Married to the cause

[Kelly]
White dress with a black veil
But a collar you wear around your neck
Indication of the promises already made
A wedding to all who see it
You are no ordinary bride
[Kelly & Truls] There's an owner of the collar you wear

[Kelly] Pleasure and pain intertwined
[Truls] Sadistic orchestration played
Upon your flesh
[Kelly] Raging lava surges through the veins
[Truls] Body arching to meet each note
As they are played on your skin

[Kelly]
Proudly wear the sign
The tattoo of lustful soul
Hidden rings
Shining in secrecy
Trust we share
So strong and true
Tied hands hold the key

[Truls] Married to the cause

[Kelly]
The branding of flesh
Lightning burns into the mind
A moan on the tip on the tongue
A moment of sharp pain
An eternity of pleasure

Married to the cause
Begging for more
Wanting to take and give all
And more
Words echo through these walls
Images flashing in front of me
Nerves on fire
Nerves on fire
[Truls] A smile on my face

[Kelly]
Proudly wear the sign
The tattoo of lustful soul
Hidden rings
Shining in secrecy
Trust we share
So strong and true
Tied hands hold the key

[Truls] Married to the cause

[Kelly]
The branding of flesh
Lightning burns into the mind
A moan on the tip on the tongue
A moment of sharp pain
An eternity of pleasure

[Kelly & Truls] Married to the cause

07. No Chorus

[Truls]
Fuck the norm
Turn the tide
[Kelly]
Why do anything the normal way
When we can do it the right way
[Truls]
Call it disrespect - call it whatever you like
[Kelly]
I'm going against the pre-established rules
For the sake of not following everyone

We don't see things as they are - oh no
We see them as we are
Don't look where you fail, but where you slipped
And when you lose
[Truls]
Don't lose the lesson
Call it disrespect
This song has no chorus
Call it insane, Call it humor - Call it whatever you like
This song has no chorus

[Kelly]
What is sanity? We all intuitively know what is
But how can we explain what sanity means?
As a legal term it simply means having normal
Or sound powers of mind
But what does one consider normal - moreover
Who decides this?
In fact, our whole society may
Deem certain acts as insane while it may only
Be a question of cultural difference
It comes down to traditions ans customs and
An under laying implicit set of rules and standards

[Truls]
When you think of a norm, you are probably
Thinking about being normal
But norm means a standard or representative
Value for a group
In music meaning expectations about song
Structures, what behaviours are appropriate
Within a given context
I'm so bored with verse, bridge and chorus
I'm bore with any typical standards

[Kelly]
I'm bored with people who lack the motivation to
Achieve and live off others
Go fetch the courage that you need to declarate your freedom
[Truls]
I'm bored with people
Not allowing others thoughts by man-made rules
This song has no chorus
There are written and there're unwritten rules of
How you should write songs
This song has no chorus

[Kelly]
In society we the people decide what is normal
And abnormal. So stop for a minute
And re-evaluate
Many people believe that wrong things aren't
Wrong if they are done by nice people
Like themselves
Large groups of people can be convinced into
Acting in a way that is considered
Sane or insane to another group
It happens all the time
Understand that our knowledge of music is limited
So stop pretending to be what you are not
Stop act in contradiction to your own stated beliefs
Politeness - The most acceptable hypocrisy

[Truls]
I believe that insane could be thought of as
Unhindered by reality, by expectations, by The Man's limitations

08. Rainheart

[Kelly]
I care for you my child
More than words can ever say
I am very grateful
That you are alive each and every day

Thank you life for
The children of mine
Who teach me things
That blow my mind
I really couldn't ask for more
The love I felt when you were born
[Truls] I am proud to call you mine
[Kelly] To fill my heart with hope and love

Turn to me and smile

Give you all the love that you need
Save you from the pain life brings
And make your little heart sing
Make your heart ever so strong
And spread to the world this humble song
Undying love, unshakable faith

Turn to me and smile

Undying love
Unshakable faith
You gave me strength, you made me grow
And once you came my heart was full

It sneaks up on you
A fear that elevates in you
A fear that sustains

[Truls]
The way to hold onto something is to let it go

[Kelly]
Thank you life for
The children of mine
Who teach me things
That blow my mind
I really couldn't ask for more
The love I felt when you were born
[Kelly & Truls] I am proud to call you mine
[Kelly] To fill my heart with hope and love

Turn to me and smile

I'll protect you day and night
I'll keep you safe within my sight
I'll make it ever so clear
If you need me I'll be there
To bless you with the joy that
Makes you free
Undying love, unshakable faith

Turn to me and smile

Undying love
Unshakable faith
You gave me strenght, you made me grow
And once you came my heart was full

09. You Can't Fix Me No More

[Truls]
A stream of compositions run through me
It's not hard for me to breathe
Feel like I'm in need of air

Shadow on the wall
There's no limit you can't fix me no more

Notes screaming through the black halls of my mind
Shivering the world is transparent
Feel like I'm in need of air

Maybe I know too much yeah
Maybe I'm a little strange
[Kelly] This time I'm realy going crazy you think
[Truls] Many realities not only one for sure
Guess to you it seems obscure
Screams tear through your throat but you refuse to let them free
[Kelly] This time I'm really going crazy you think

[Truls]
Never mind your words, it's time I'll let you know you're in denial
Guess that this time I'll just kill you with my smile

Shadow on the wall
There's no limit you can't fix me no more

I sometimes find me in the attic
I'm lingering around my well being
Putting everything behind of my life at least

Maybe I know too much yeah
Maybe I'm a little strange
[Kelly] This time I'm realy going crazy you think
[Truls] Many realities not only one for sure
Guess to you it seems obscure
Screams tear through your throat but you refuse to let them free
[Kelly] This time I'm really going crazy you think

[Truls]
Never mind your words, it's time I'll let you know you're in denial
Guess that this time I'll just kill you with my smile

10. Water

[Kelly]
Quiet as sleeping death
[Truls] Blind
[Kelly]
Blind and unfeeling
The air shimmers
Trading death for beauty
As the sorrow echoes out onto
The coast
As if the entire earth has gone ghost

I'm alone
I'm drowning so slow
I am alone
Try to talk to myself but I don't listen
Drowning slow off the coast
And I'm heading nowhere

There are voices in the air
Of tragedies in the making
Loveless
Nameless
Waves of madness
I disappear into the black waters

You worry that I won't come back
Or when I do you'll have no taste
Happiness it melts into dream
Torn to pieces
The air is pierced by screams

I'm alone
And no one knows
Nobody, I'm on my own
Try to talk to myself but I don't listen
Drowning slow off the coast
And I'm heading nowhere

Quiet as sleeping death
Night seizes day
My dreams are ripped right out of me
leaving nothing behind but a shadow

[Truls] Hey see come follow me

[Kelly]
I'm alone
I'm drowning so slow
I am alone
And no one knows
Nobody, I'm on my own
Try to talk to myself but I don't listen
Drowning slow off the coast
And I'm heading nowhere

11. Whispers

[Kelly]
Like flowers on a grave
I watched your colours fade away
Grasping at sunny memories
Only to tear their paper wings
[Truls] All is silent

[Kelly]
My hollow hours fill with sad
The wretched clock holds out its frozen hands
As stillness devours me

And in my garden all is dead
The buzzing flies the holy sound and they said
He belongs to us now

[Kelly & Truls]
And all I have are the memories
[Kelly]
I'm just a ghost
[Kelly & Truls]
Haunting the past
I live within all the memories
[Kelly]
'Cause these are the only things
[Kelly & Truls]
That are left to last

[Kelly]
The moon sings cold lullabies
Feels like I'm drowning in silvery eye
Words left unspoken
No goodbyes
I guess it is time to let you go
Let go

My heart beats shallow in my chest
The morning sun is an unwelcome guest
Another days comes creeping

Now all I am lives in your ghost
I'll wait for you and draw the curtains closed
Oh won't you come release me

Until it kills
Our time seems never ending
But you'll always be
Forever in the heart of a memory

[Kelly & Truls]
And all I have are the memories
[Kelly]
I'm just a ghost
[Kelly & Truls]
Haunting the past
I live within all the memories
[Kelly]
'Cause these are the only things
[Kelly & Truls]
That are left to last

[Kelly]
The moon sings cold lullabies
Feels like I'm drowning in silvery eye
Words left unspoken
No goodbyes
I guess it is time to let you go
Let go

[Truls]
So to find
The light
You must embrace
Darkness

So to find
The light
The light
You really must
Embrace
Darkness

[Kelly]
As long as there's a heart in me
You will always be
A part of me
[Kelly & Truls]
It rips and tears
[Truls]
It keeps going
Until it kills
