01. The Scarred Soul

Music by Jan Yrlund
Lyrics by Helena Iren Michaelsen
She wore her troubled past like scars
She had been through many battles
And thought no one
Could see through
Her heart

Little did they know
How much could change
When she got loved

Scars on her soul
Scars on her skin
Some on the outside
And some are within

Every time she burned to ashes
She knew how to rise again
Each time I feel
To my knees
It left a scar and a memory

Little dis they know
How much could change
When she got loved

Scars on her soul
Scars on her skin
Some on the outside
And some are within

No wound so deep will ever go away
Yet every hurt becomes a little less
From day to day
Nothing erase all the pain in my mind
But some good memories
Time will let me find

Scars on her soul
Scars on her skin
Some on the outside
And some are within

02. Fear Is An Illusion

Music by Jan Yrlund
Lyrics by Helena Iren Michaelsen
Feel I can't breathe
Thoughts spinning around
It's a new day
But it's the same like yesterday
Trying to find something to hold on to

Time is not my friend
More an enemy
When I want to dream
Waking up instead
From a nightmare

Thoughts like ghosts
That's haunting me
My eyes burn
From sleepless nights

Fear is an illusion
Don't let it get in your way
You are enough as you are
So remember that everyday

Falling down to the ground
Gasping for air
As panic strikes like lightning
Through my body
Behind four walls
Like being a prisoner

Thoughts like ghosts
That's haunting me
My eyes burn
From sleepless nights

Fear is an illusion
Don't let it get in your way
You are enough as you are
So remember that everyday

An inner voice says rise, rise...
My soul clings to every thought of hope
Sunbeams lead me
To another state of mind

Thoughts like ghosts
That's haunting me
My eyes burn
From sleepless nights

Fear is an illusion
Don't let it get in your way
You are enough as you are
So remember that everyday

03. Unspoken Words

Music by Jan Yrlund
Lyrics by Helena Iren Michaelsen
It shivers down my spine
When I think of you
And how much I care about you
Oh God, I miss you
So much that I break down and cry
Alone in the darkness
Thinking of you

Sitting left
With a pen writing down
Wish that my dreams
Will come true some day

You are always with me
Everywhere I go
You are there in my thoughts
And in my sphere

Words are unspoken
And my voice given in
Into silence
Unsilent sleep
And long, long nights
Just thinking of you
Thinking of us

Sitting left
With a pen writing down
Wish that my dreams
Will come true some day

You are always with me
Everywhere I go
You are there in my thoughts
And in my sphere

04. Book Of Love

Music by Jan Yrlund
Lyrics by Helena Iren Michaelsen
The blooming flower
Will never dry out
And our greatest strength
Lies in the gentleness
And tenderness of our hearts
Chasing the wind
Cause I wanna hear
It's whispered words

Sparkling eyes are back
Which were faded for so long

My love is like a melody
That's sweetly played in tune
Let us blend our souls as one

Sometimes, when I look at you
I feel I'm gazing at a distant star

Sparkling eyes are back
Which were faded for so long

My love is like a melody
That's sweetly played in tune
Let us blend our souls as one
Let's write the empty pages
To the book of love
Tell me
Where all the time has gone

Like a butterfly
Unfolds it's graceful wings
The sound would have no rainbow
If the clouds were always grey

Like a butterfly
Unfolds its graceful wings...

My love is like a melody
That's sweetly played in tune
Let us blend our souls as one
Let's write the empty pages
To the book of love
Tell me
Where all the time has gone

05. Blinded

Music by Jan Yrlund
Lyrics by Helena Iren Michaelsen
You are the sunrise
After a cold dark night

My shelter in the storm
My guiding light

I'm blinded when I scream
As I tumble through the darkness
I'm blinded when I scream
I'm tumbling through the dark

Dancing in the clouds
Lost in time without a meaning

My shelter in the storm
My guiding light

I'm blinded when I scream
As I tumble through the darkness
I'm blinded when I scream
I'm tumbling through the dark

Out of the ashes
When the fire is gone
The unsilent burning
Is ever so strong

My shelter in the storm
My guiding light

I'm blinded when I scream
As I tumble through the darkness
I'm blinded when I scream
I'm tumbling through the dark

06. Invisible Tears

Music by Jan Yrlund
Lyrics by Helena Iren Michaelsen
My tears
Are not a sign of weakness
Their absence its not a sign
Of my strenghth
They are a true expression
Of the pain and love
That live together
In my heart

There's nothing I could ever say
And nothing I could do
There's nothing I could ever say
To describe my love for you

As miserable as life seems
When you're not with me
I can't help but smile
Thinking about how it will be

There's nothing I could ever say
And nothing I could do
There's nothing I could ever say
To describe my love for you

I miss your hand
I miss your voice
If I just got to see you now
I miss your hand
I miss your voice
I'd run to you
If I just knew how

Iwth long and silent hug
All my worries would melt away

I miss your hand
I miss your voice
If I just got to see you now
I miss your hand
I miss your voice
I'd run to you
If I just knew how

Thinking about how it will be
When we meet again

I hate the nights
Where I feel so hollow inside
I feel so lonely and out of place
I hate the nights
When my mind
Wanders to the unknown
And all in return with sadness

Cause I, I miss you

My child I miss you, so much

07. Otherside

Music by Jan Yrlund
Lyrics by Helena Iren Michaelsen
When you are not here
It is always something lost
Without you
I can't get happy

When I close my eyes
I see you dancing
Running into
Running into the sunset

Then I saw your eyes
Look at me
Then I saw you smile
I saw you smile at me

Rainbow let me walk on you till
I reach the other side
Where it's not raining sorrow
Where I can open my eyes

When I close my eyes
I see you dancing
Running into
Running into the sunset

Then I saw your eyes
Look at me
Then I saw you smile
I saw you smile at me

Then I saw your face
Towards me
Then I saw your eyes
Look at me

08. Beauty Within

Music by Jan Yrlund
Lyrics by Helena Iren Michaelsen
The beauty of the heart
Is the lasting beauty
A rose without its thorns
A fallen star and inner grace

The most beautiful heart
Is the one that cares
The most beautiful heart
Is the one that
Brings out the beauty in you

The beauty of the heart
Is the lasting beauty
A rose without its thorns
A fallen star and inner grace

The most beautiful heart
Is the one that cares
The most beautiful heart
Is the one that
Brings out the beauty in you

09. My Guardian Angel

Music by Jan Yrlund
Lyrics by Helena Iren Michaelsen
When the leaves dance
And the new winds blows
When the birds sing
And a new song is composed

The waves whisper to me
Calling me to the soft sand
The water seeps over my feet
Surrounds where I stand

Flying through spheres
Flying into the unknown
I want to fley free
From all that keeps me in captivity

My Guardian Angel
Up in heaven
I wanted you to know
I feel you are watching over me

My Guardian Angel
I hope you undestand
That I would give anything
If I could hold your hand

Flying through spheres
Flying into the unknown
I want to fley free
From all that keeps me in captivity

My Guardian Angel
Up in heaven
I wanted you to know
I feel you are watching over me

My Guardian Angel
I hope you undestand
That I would give anything
If I could hold your hand

Sometimes I hear a whisper
Although theres's no one there
Through the trees
I hear you whisper
And like a shadow you appear

10. The Ocean

Music by Jan Yrlund
Lyrics by Helena Iren Michaelsen
Summer is here
Birds flying in sky
I'm out by the sea
Childhood memories
Are coming to me

Of all my island summers

Sweet drops from the ocean
Touches my face
Glitters on the surface
The freedom thar I felt
When I was there

The island had its story
Before in time
People were living there
Now its just for summer
Must have been nice
When harmony was everywhere

Of all my island summers

Sweet drops from the ocean
Touches my face
Glitters on the surface
The freedom thar I felt
When I was there

A voyage through life
A voyage through different times
The waves take me to the open sea

Sweet drops from the ocean
Touches my face
Glitters on the surface
The freedom thar I felt
When I was there

I feel you watching over me

11. A Crying Heart

Music by Jane Wehus
Lyrics by Sabrina Nettland
I'm afraid of looking into your eyes
Cause I don't know
I don't know how I feel
Cause my heart is buried
In a bunch of lies
And you are the only thing
That's real

Made a mess with my heart as bate
Guess I thought I'd be saved by faith
Afraid to look into your eyes
Cause you see right through me
I'm living a lie

A crying heart
A crying heart

Force my self to deny what I feel
Cause I ruined
The opportunity to be real
I can't bare to look into your eyes
And say I don't love you
You know that's a lie

A crying heart
A crying heart

Tears of blood are falling down
It's my heart that is crying
I can hear it's awful sound
Cracking from inside out

A crying heart
A crying heart

Tears of blood are falling down
My heart is tired
So tired of crying now

12. Mother

Music by Jan Yrlund
Lyrics by Helena Iren Michaelsen
Are you in heaven now?
It's the rain of tears, from heaven and eyes

Are you, in heaven now?
It is your breath, I feel I breathing.

Mother, mother, why did you have to leave me now
Mother, mother, why did you have to crie
Mother, mother, I cry, I cry
But nothing, can never, bring you back to me again

Are you in heaven now?
Is it your warmth, I feel from the sun

Dread dreams you never could find
I find them, and make the real.

Mother, mother, why did you have to leave me now
Mother, mother, why did you have to crie
Mother, mother, I cry, I cry
But nothing, can never, bring you back to me again

You see me blue from the there above, I know you smile
To meet again, you be the hand who carries my home
You see me blue from there above, I know you smile
Till we met again...

Mother, mother, why did you have to leave me now
Mother, mother, why did you have to crie
Mother, mother, I cry, I cry
But nothing, can never, bring you back to me again
