02. Deus Ex Machina

Deus ex machina...
After ten rainy summers
And nine destructive winters
There was hardly nothing left

But a bare and sore ground
Lite a stripped and dried out soul
Without body and skin

And the cold wind blew the hazel trees
And the cold wind blew the hazel trees
Reminding them of how old they are

Suddenly a force from above
Silenced the elegy
It was at the end of the day

It was at the end of the day
Although the beginning of a new and bright tomorrow

Deus ex machina...
After ten rainy summers
And nine destructive winters

There was a last sudden gust of wind
Before the life and freshness again
Touched every heart, mind and soul

And the comfortable summer breeze
Played with the green leaves of the hazel trees

Reminding them of how young
And beautiful they are

Echoing a sorrowless future to come
They thought about their lives
How satisfying they were

And they spoke with happy childlike voices
After ten rainy summers
And nine destructive winters

Deus ex machina...

03. In The Heart Of Juliet

She's the month of June
A summer's tune
The wind that blows
The flower that grows

She'll forever be
So proud and free
A firefly
The sun in the sky

And forever she'll dance
It's the summer
Of her days and forever
Her heart is yours

In the heart of Juliet
One love she won't forget
She longs to give
Forever live
Her soul has such desire
She needs to love, admire
A tide to the shore
Searching for more

No vale of tears
No hauting fears
Another birth
She's joy on earth

Dancing like a child
So pure and wild
A virgin rose
She longs to be close

04. 3AM

I can find no sleep - I never sleep at night
I stop counting sheep - I can see their eyes

And the lights will shine (all night) tonight
And the lights will shine tonight

A fly's been watching me - some (a million) dogs arrive
Some will cover me - some choose to bite

Then I will come to life - I can guarantee that
I will come to life

Won't you come with me - I can ease your mind
Dreams, thoughts, fantasies keep rushing by

I can find no sleep - I never sleep at night
All those pretty sheep sit mesmerized

Then I will come to life - I can guarantee that
I will come to life

05. Waves Of Green

Watching the tidals that wash to the shore - I never forget
Into these silent waves of all times - eternally

How long may this remain
Peace to the land
Nature and sea
Silent emotions are overcome
I wonder how
We can go on

Stormy times will we behold?
Do we still care
What future holds
So many words been said undone
The waves of green
They will flow on

Heal me, free me - dawning is near
Where is the saviour - for us to believe
As I sit here - on Norge's shores
Cries of the unheard - will they be heard
The waves of green - whispering my name

06. Take Good Care

When the sun was down
I opened my eyes
And I looked around

All the stars were bound
To fall from the sky
I would make no sound

Take good care
Take good care

I can hold you
And console you
I can show you another rainbow
Take good care - I can make you one

I can hold you
Like I told you
I can fold you another rainbow
Take good care - I can make you one

Where's that distant light ?
There used to be one
Once we used to lie
Under the sun
All the things that I
Would treasure have gone
Now I'm satisfied

I can hold you
And console you
I can show you another rainbow
Take good care - I can make you one

I can hold you
Like I told you
I can fold you another rainbow
Take good care - I can make you one

07. Huldra

Die Nacht war stürmisch,
Vorschliefen heut es das Schlucht herab,
Und wie man sagt
Erscholl ein Wimmern in der Luft,
Ein totes stöhnen,
Ein Prophezeien in fürchterlichen Laut,
Von wilden Brand und grässlichen Geschichten,
Neu ausgebrütet eine Zeit des Leidens,
Der dunkle Vogel schreit die ganze Nacht hindurch.
Man sagt, die Erde bebte fieberkrank.

08. Portrait: Ei Tulle Med Øyne Blå

Je har ei tulle med oyne bla
Med silkear og med orer sma
Og midt i fjeset en liten nese
Sa stor som sa

09. Good Vibes, Bad Vibes

Good vibes, bad vibes - dance on the ocean
Man-made insanity's holding me down
Good vibes, bad vibes - a way of locomotion
I can show you, (I can) show you all around

Blue light, red light - drink a magic potion
One-track eternity's making me frown
Blue light, red light - bitter, sweet emotion
Won't you send me way up the underground

Hold tight, uptight waiting for the sunlight
All my enemies are watching me drown
Hold tightm uptight - I'm on the wrong side
I'm on camp site waiting on a silver cloud

Good vibes, bad vibes - dance on the ocean
Man-made insanity's holding me down
Good vibes, bad vibes - a way of locomotion
I can show you, show you all around
