stronger than forever

stronger than forever(A.Melleby, 10.30.2014)

lights out

I am tired

from the inside out

my body needs rest

I´ve squeesed the lemon

and there´s not a drop of juice left

I need time to regain what I gave

hey, world

I promise you

Il`l be back stronger

stronger than forever

naked but keeping the cold out

naked and full of heat

this is not a soul to beat

the heavens gave me the gold

and now it´s time to spend it

holy mother

I was born a different child

like an oak that has come of age

I´ve fallen behind

by a few hundred years

holy mother

where´s my father

I guess I never needed him

holy mother

the dark has fallen

I feel the cold of the shade

my skin awoken by the light

a hart still pounding

as the sun once again exposes my soul

holy mother

I was born a different child

like an oak that has come of age

I´ve fallen behind

by a few hundred years

holy mother

where´s my father

I guess I never needed him

holy mother

stronger than forever

there´s always time

there´s always time

and time is always now

this is the new eternity

this is the new eternity(A.Melleby, 10.27.2014)

a pale man crying

tears of color

no longer standing tall

he´s well beyond dead

and all of his blood has left his body

but he won´t lie down

the illusion is perfect and in motion

creating images you can´t refuse

this is the new eternity

our shadows have returned

to take back what´s theirs

there´s no turning back

the tremors of yesterday

are nothing compared  to what´s ahead

we´re back

and we´re back to stay

a pale man crying

tears of color

no longer standing tall

he´s well beyond dead

and all of his blood has left his body

but he won´t lie down

the illusion is perfect and in motion

creating images you can´t refuse

this is the new eternity

a pale man crying

tears of color

no longer standing tall

he´s well beyond dead

and all of his blood has left his body

but he won´t lie down

our shadows have returned

to take back what´s theirs

there´s no turning back

the tremors of yesterday

are nothing compared  to what´s ahead

we´re back

and we´re back to stay

the illusion is perfect and in motion

creating images you can´t refuse

this is the new eternity

paying debt to karma

paying debt owed to an invisible receiver

our future

where falling behind

means no tomorrow

thorium

a gift from the universe

and the heavens above

thorium

the power to look beyond

and conquer darkness from within

thorium

the desperate hours

gasping for air

as humanity takes her last breath

choking in her own hunger for everything

on the very soil she was created from

lying in a fetal position

after billions of years in growing pains

ending up with all her bones broken

the full moon of this day of doom

suddenly lights up the room and the entire universe

blowing a magic kiss in the right direction

the cheeks of humanity are glowing again

her lungs again fills up with air

breathing on her own again

given a second chance

again the winds can be felt

again the sun burns virgin skin

again water quench any thirst

thorium

a gift from the universe

and the heavens above

thorium

the power to look beyond

and conquer darkness from within

and then, what?

and then, what?(A.Melleby, 10.22.2014)

lay low for a while

long enough

to get as high as it takes

for the kites to envy you

it all looks different from way up there

feeling dizzy

enjoying the perils that define the nothingness

of an irish tale sung by a drunken poet

sung in a pub that never opened

but it all came out loud and clear to me

if it´s as clear to you

I do not know

people come and people go

for lesser reasons than this

even a demented shadow knows that

I came as I was

and so did you

but only one of us

was left to leave

to stay meant forever

I am sorry that wasn´t enough

for you

I came

I conquered

I gave you my everything

my agression spared nothing at all

exposing my spine but never asking for forever

to me, that sees like a very long time

perhaps too long for the both of us

lay low for a while

long enough

to get as high as it takes

for the kites to envy you

it all looks different from way up there

feeling dizzy

enjoying the perils that define the nothingness

of an irish tale sung by a drunken poet

sung in a pub that never opened

but it all came out loud and clear to me

if it´s as clear to you

I do not know

people come and people go

for lesser reasons than this

even a demented shadow knows that

I came as I was

and so did you

but only one of us

was left to leave

to stay meant forever

I am sorry that wasn´t enough

for you
