Tristania:"Aphelion", (fra albummet "Beyond the veil", 1999):
Yearning for days of yore
in elysian daydreams
Burn with a fatal gloss
a confounding mirror of souls
Dance with the winterwinds
in thy visions so sanguine
Glance upon Stygian streams
where lies hidden a pale secrecy
Hark...lures of the siren
yearn for the days when blithe thou was
Sworn to a secrecy
an arcanum devotee
Mourning a life with thee
a descendance of watery argentine
Trance of thy frailty
endure the exsanguine
Glance beyond closed eyelids
the conundrum of all mysteries
Crossing in life...my heart
with silver in times...I´m weak, too weak...
Wan circling skies
secretes...silvering sorrow
Precious to me Aphelion
Thou are the fields where we wither still
Exhaust in thy wanning world
My Aphelion on a broken mirror
where the veils of night and day
seems as one
May the lids gather again
on a vast and frail crusade
Invigoration of pain pervation this time
(tekst: Morten Veland)
(Jeg lyttede rigtig meget til det norske goth metal-band Tristania i slutningen af 1990´erne og starten af det nye årti, men så forsvandt de ellers, mere eller mindre, ud af glemslen....altså min glemsel! Indtil da jeg for et par uger siden cruisede rundt på Youtube, og pludselig snublede over dette spændende band igen. Den fabelagtige sangerinde Vibeke Stene, som fører an i koret på "Aphelion", er helt klart Tristania´s største aktiv, men ellers skal disse nordmænd bl.a. roses for en dygtig sangskrivning, hvor de gotiske sange sjældent bliver kedelige).
