Treasure

The Gathering:"Treasure", (fra albummet "The west pole", 2009):

We found our stepping stone
Over darkest hours
We left no trace at home
But saw our footprints ahead
It was our dream stone
Stardust would shine our way
There was a beautiful vision that night
All shades were bright
With hope to catch the sight
Of northern lights
And touch a cooling star
We watched the moonstones
Swim in brightest colours
Reached for horizons
To touch the line that seperates earth from sky
Stardust would shine our way
With hope to catch the sight of northern lights
With hope to catch the sight
Of northern lights
And touch a cooling star

(Tekst: Silje Wergeland)

Der er rigtigt mange gode numre på "The west pole", men jeg kan alligevel ikke lade være med at synes, at "Treasure" er i en klasse for sig....:-)

You promised me a symphony

The Gathering:"You promised me a symphony", (fra albummet "The west pole", 2009):

It is 1 pm
School bell´s ringing
My heart beats fast
I better got on running
She shouldn´t be alone
I should have been at home
Your guns, your lies, your cigarettes, your war
She kept us safe
Our hearts were filled with fear
Your prints left messy stains
But who was there to clear?
She shouldn´t be alone
I should have been at home
My hope, my faith, your ignorance, your loss

(Tekst: Silje Wergeland)

Det kan godt være, at jeg tager fejl, men jeg tror, at dette er et af Silje Wergeland´s barndomsminder.

Purple door, pitch black

Green Carnation:"Purple door, pitch black", (fra albummet "The quiet offspring", 2005):

I am your needle
I am your option out of here
It´s that simple
Oh, I can guide you, through all your fears
You´ll come out strong
Come join me
So save me, I´m falling
And I don´t have the strenght to go on
I need this, I breathe this
So empty, afraid and alone
Well, we go way back
But now´s the time to let it go
I dare you
Across the border something´s waiting
Some kind of change
The kind silence
So save me, I´m falling
And I don´t have the strenght to go on
I need this, I breathe this
So empty, afraid and alone

(Tekst: Stein Roger Sordal)

Gutter, jeg havde aldrig opdaget jer, hvis ikke det fantastiske engelske heavy metal-magasin "Terrorizer" fandtes....:-)

Circles

Tiamat:"Circles", (fra albummet "Amanethes", 2008):

Now that we´re dead
We´ve learned how to live
Our failures taught us how to forgive

And now that we rise
From the ashes of me and you
All our dreams shall come true

Floating in circles
Stars shall light our way
To meadows and fields
Green is the grass where we lay
Down
Forever

Now that we´re clean
Our souls can be freed
Our love is the only drug we need

And now that we´re one
We don´t need any God
Divinity flows in our blood

(Tekst: Johan Edlund)
