so how long is forever


so how long is forever(Melleby/Coucheron, 09.30.2014)

so how long is forever
how long is the longest night
of the longest day
that has ever been
tell me if you can
but if you don´t
let´s live it
you and I

I once had a dog
but it ran away
I once had a longing wife
but she don´t long no more
at least not for me

the sky is too blue for me
I wish it had another shade of color
from time to time
whenever looking up
takes too much of an effort
on the outside looking in
on the inside looking out

endless nights and days
foreverlasting
pretty much says it all
nothing gives me everything
just like everything gives me something

so how long is forever
how long is the longest night
of the longest day
that has ever been
tell me if you can
but if you don´t
let´s live it
you and I

tides come
and tides go
love leads to heaven and love leads one astray
there is no light without the darkness
reality comes shining through

so how long is forever
how long is the longest night
of the longest day
that has ever been
tell me if you can
but if you don´t
let´s live it
you and I

merciless father, randomless son


merciless father
randomless son(A.Melleby, 09.27.2014)

bombs may fall
difference is
I feel that terror inside my soul
no one to call
my cell has no story to tell
I turn around
there is no shadow behind me

merciless father
randomless son

screaming in the dark
the ghosts seem to like it
not the intention of the energy wasted
into the nothingness
into a night I don´t want anything
but to escape from
here´s to the fright of the night

merciless father
randomless son

echoes
and hey, I´m all ears
what were you trying to say
back then
I´m afraid it´s all a blur
and will continue being so
forever on

merciless father
randomless son

from Paris on


from Paris on(A.Melleby, 09.26.2014)

rules and regulations
are not very hard to encounter
but the hardest ones to live by
seem to be the ones you make for yourself

from Paris on
the times will change
from Paris on
there will be no reason
to look back ever again
from Paris on

my intuition
keeps on telling me
there´s something wrong here
something pulling me out of my sleep
every night
what´s up
I feel down
and I don´t know why

I close my eyes
only to see clearer
than I have ever seen
what´s in store for me
can not be bought
what´s in store for me
can not be sold
I think you why

from Paris on
the times will change
from Paris on
there will be no reason
to look back ever again
from Paris on

from Paris on
from Paris on
the times will change
from Paris on
the times will change
from Paris on
there will be no reason
to look back ever egain
from Paris on

my tales from the crypt


my tales from the crypt(A.Melleby, 09.23.2014)

been waiting for too long
been waiting for ever
for this day to come

now that the time is here
I can´t wait to tell you
I´ve got tales from the crypt
that´ll hit the core of your heart and soul

feel free to send me a line or two
even if my body is in a deep sleep
i´ll get you back when the morning comes
if I wake up at all from my dreams of clairvoiance
maybe I´ll sleep yet another day
and maybe the sun should do the same

I hope the tales all come through loud and clear
clearing the fog preventing your life from taking off
there´s sunshine at the end of the day

even if you never wish you were never born
as the claw of darkness tightens its already tight grip
there´s sunshine at the end of the day

feel free to send me a line or two
even if my body is in a deep sleep
i´ll get you back when the morning comes
if I wake up at all from my dreams of clairvoiance
maybe I´ll sleep yet another day
and maybe the sun should do the same

been waiting for too long
been waiting for ever
for this day to come

now that the time is here
I can´t wait to tell you
I´ve got tales from the crypt
that´ll hit the core of your heart and soul

feel free to send me a line or two
even if my body is in a deep sleep
i´ll get you back when the morning comes
if I wake up at all from my dreams of clairvoiance
maybe I´ll sleep yet another day
and maybe the sun should do the same

come meet the lions


come meet the lions(A.Melleby, 09.21.2014)

the vision is blurred
and the confidence is declining
and as if you did not know from before
the colors are fading

some die too soon
others live longer to die faster
awoken in the middle of a dream
turns out to be a real one
you area live and as well as you can be
skin sticking to cold and wet linen
longing for a hot shower
of a different kind

rise above it all
open your arms
let the sky fall
come meet the lions
become their next meal
or befriend them
and roam with them
into eternity
come meet the lions

a twisted horizon
no lines to follow
a fog that never seems to clear
your whispers in pain
evaporating in the constant drumming of the rain
it all becomes clearer than it has ever been
it´s time to get out of it and meet yourself in the door

rise above it all
open your arms
let the sky fall
come meet the lions
become their next meal
or befriend them
and roam with them
into eternity
come meet the lions

rise above it all
open your arms
let the sky fall
come meet the lions
become their next meal
or befriend them
and roam with them
into eternity
come meet the lions
