Set in Stone 03:36
I was there I saw the fall Of seven wonders known to man I could swear there were reflections in the sand And my honest soul could hear The cries of heartache in the land I was far too young and weak to take a stand I needed you right there to hold my hand Oh the moors were cold and dreary Winds too strong I'd start to cry There was barely any color in the sky I'd remember times so long ago Tears harder to come by That tune I know so well I'd hear it fly The force of every love I'd say goodbye There are better gifts to bring Harder songs to sing All I am is all I have It's not enough Oh the world don't turn for no man There couldn't be another way It's set in stone and broken bone I learned to say It's set in stone and broken bone You'll learn to say Starting chapters of our lives Broken hearts and severed ties Casting blame on every red sunrise Echoing the crack of dawn Ghost ships sailing on and on There's a ripple in Poseidon's haunted song To the deep blue underworld I'll be withdrawn Aching body aching mind In this graveyard you may find All the answers to your prayers left undefined As you live in apathy Dancing round in agony A hopeless journey as it's meant to be A tale once told of valiant odyssey There are better gifts to bring Harder songs to sing All I am is all I have It's not enough Oh the world don't turn for no man There couldn't be another way It's set in stone and broken bone I learned to say It's set in stone and broken bone You'll learn to say

A fallen teardrop A blacksmith's workshop A curtain pulled aside in the spring A whisper's echo A place to call home A glimmer on Norwegian seas An old piano A warm red flannel Laughter dancing through the trees Grandfather working And songbirds chirping Sweet Norwegian breeze And all is right The sun is shining all through the night On hills we live so serene Perfect sight Generations of endless light On this isle of memories A trail blazed years past A wall built to last Berries fragrant through the air A tree swing stirring A pathway turning To a rocky coastline free of care An early morning A seaward warning Boats are dancing one with the waves Grass stained rain boots Back to our roots Flowers on Norwegian graves And all is right The sun is shining all through the night On hills we live so serene Perfect sight Generations of endless light On this isle of memories Oh all is right The sun is shining all through the night On hills we live so serene Perfect sight Generations of endless light On this isle of memories This isle of memories

All the Same 03:45
Heat of a fire Glimpse of a flame It's all the same to me Burning desire Followed by shame I know your name to beat As you are falling You're taming your shadow Into the darkness you can't escape Faking a smile When your heart is hollow Chasing a memory how I relate Racing along Whistling our song We were the night Living a dream So it would seem We were the light Taking our time Rhythm and rhyme Eyes shining so bright As we were young Heroes unsung It's all the same to me Casting your lots Wasting your thoughts It's not a game you see Facing a world Scum of the earth Following hopelessly Maybe someday you'll aspire to be something But you bury your face in a midnight dream Streaming of tears like the fountain that had been Casuals of war lest we pray and sing Racing along Whistling our song We were the night Living a dream So it would seem We were the light Taking our time Rhythm and rhyme Eyes shining so bright As we were young Heroes unsung It's all the same to me

Just another lonely Friday Shufflin cross the floor Of a record store There's a bitter wind outside here Search around some more It's been heard before Ooh hiding in the shadows Is a rotting door From a dream And ooh there's a foggy window If you look outside There's a stream And you sing everlong your mountain song Giving anything for anyone to hum along And you wander cross the hills and far away When the valleys start to call your name There's a poem written on the stone of ancient graves And you smile for the first time in forever You're awake There's a tranquil lake onward Throwing skipping stones At the undertones Soaring with the bluebird All your broken bones And the telephones Ooh hoarding all your feeling Is a flask of red Current wine And ooh harmony and healing Is a waste of all Your time And you sing everlong your mountain song Giving anything for anyone to hum along And you wander cross the hills and far away When the valleys start to call your name There's a poem written on the stone of ancient graves And you smile for the first time in forever There's a sign for the first time in forever You're awake

Disappear 04:00
Armed with nothing but your sanity And your fears There's a secret you know well Taken hostage and you've failed to see That these long years Have left you ready cast your spell Many restless nights have burdened you Or so I'm told Were your haunted dreams alive? Reminiscing some historic view Tales of old and Tragic hopes you can't revive But I've followed all your signs Taken away and left deprived Struck by lightning once or twice I've seen tomorrow through renewed eyes And I saw you disappear You became my atmosphere Whispering willows so sincere Looking back and now so clear Lost our bearings near a waterfall Long gone now A secret cavern hidden away Dodging holes and fighting wolves Wondering how But we have things we've left to say There's a cabin in the wilderness Chimney smoke And candles in the window sill I believe we've reached the end my friend Branches broken And a heartbeat fallen still But I've followed all your signs Taken away and left deprived Struck by lightning once or twice I've seen tomorrow through renewed eyes And I saw you disappear You became my atmosphere Whispering willows so sincere Looking back and now so clear

Runaway 04:07
Rising from the shadows Of our caves Taking hold of feelings Thrown away Lookin in a mirror Turn the page We don't like what we see We suppress all of our rage Fickle as the moonlight Stepping back Jumping off of bridges Heart attack We follow what we fathom Not what we lack It's a waste of a care And the midnights still jet black Growing pains And frightening sights Hopping trains The spirit of the night We have our shame We have our fight And we're to blame But we've got nothin to hide You know it's me Your runaway Choosing what we've chosen Deja vu Feet are feeling frozen Never knew That honesty's the answer And so are you Take a glimpse at the sky Never seen so much blue Against all odds and fortune Gone away Laughing during wartime So much to say Dancing in the shadows Not today Take away from your pain Shall we go or should we stay? Growing pains And frightening sights Hopping trains The spirit of the night We have our shame We have our fight And we're to blame But we've got nothin to hide You know it's me Your runaway Glad you're here right by my side I need your company to feel alive Taken hold of me by surprise It's passed me by You know it's me Your runaway Oh me Your runaway Growing pains And frightening sights Hopping trains The spirit of the night We have our shame We have our fight And we're to blame But we've got nothin to hide You know it's me Your runaway Oh it's me A runaway

The Essence 03:13

Alive 04:17
I could recognize those eyes from world away A hopeless thought and a broken desire to change I can see your light fading to grey The pain in your soul as you hesitate All your dreams were shattered right before your eyes Destitute and left alone you don't despise I can hear your somber song and to my surprise You're singing parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme I've fallen asleep to many rhymes And you've tried to escape from all your crimes We've wasted away Is that a sign? There's a ship headed for the heavens And we're in line I could recognize that smile from a world away The hazed façade as you're laughing through the pain I can hear your voice calling my name I swear to you I'll be here I will stay There's a penny for your thoughts of misery I promise there's a warmer place to be Put away your gun and cigarette I hope you stay and don't forget The best of your life is yet to come And I've fallen asleep to many rhymes And you've tried to escape from all your crimes Oh we've wasted away Is that a sign? There's a ship headed for the heavens And we're in line And on that ship headed for the heavens We'll feel alive

There's nothin I would ever rather do Cause I know I can be myself with you There's nothin I would ever rather say Cause no one else has known me in that way Talkin in the forest Bout the long road ahead Replayin in my mind All the things that you said Probably won't happen But the thought is in my head I look into the future But I dream of you instead Take your time I'll wait here I've got nowhere to be The leaves have started fallin It's the end of summer's heat Of course you're probably wonderin And I know it's bittersweet But as the sea tide changes Maybe life will be complete And there's nothin I would ever rather do Cause I know I can be myself with you There's nothin I would ever rather say Cause no one else has known me in that way The day I learn to fly I'll never come back down Survive because the fire inside Burns brighter than the fire around I'll sail through these changes Singin sweet Tangerine When the waters claim my soul I'll be in a summer dream The homeland keeps on calling With fjords and fields of green The midnight sun as nights begun Did you bring your tambourine? And the fire heres still burnin So much brighter than before Can you see into the future Cause it's you who I adore There's nothin I would ever rather do Cause I know I can be myself with you There's nothin I would ever rather say Cause no one else has known me in that way
