one last bath(Arnold Melleby, 02.13.2016)


in the village of the unknown
in the village of the unknown
they all stand tall

they all stand tall
they all stand tall
one last bath

your heart will tell the story
in between the beats

I came and I conquered
I came and I conquered
I still stand tall
I still stand tall
one last bath

there´s so much between
heaven and earth
first and foremost a lot of air
but if you can aim real high
and find a friend among the stars
grab a hold of it
the purest child
of the universe
together you´ll stand tall

late one night
I saw something I´ve never seen before
a star looking down on me
blinking as I waved towards the sky
somewhat, totally unreal
but I know what happened
I was there
I was there
for the fall


in the village of the unknown
in the village of the unknown
they all stand tall

they all stand tall
they all stand tall
one last bath

your heart will tell the story
in between the beats

I came and I conquered
I came and I conquered
I still stand tall
I still stand tall
one last bath

there´s so much between
heaven and earth
first and foremost a lot of air
but if you can aim real high
and find a friend among the stars
grab a hold of it
the purest child
of the universe
together you´ll stand tall

I´ll never be gone
as long as you go
with me

let´s take
one last bath

outta control(Arnold Melleby, 08.02.2016)

the glory sits like a mohawk
on the top of your head
your birds are singing
but I can´t wait
for your fall

it´s a devil´s game
for all the ones that came
left in the darkness of shame
without love, it´s all the same
it´ll be your fall

far from paradise
far from the promised land
the wheel of fortune
never hitting a number at all
it just kept on spinning
outta control

the iron bells
rang out across the universe
louder than loud, clearer than clear
leaving the deaf in tears
screaming
I´m all ears

like a frozen river
running through the heat of the desert
it doesn´t make much sense at all
your visions of love
belong to the ones with a special interest
and I´m not especially interested

it´s a devil´s game
for all the ones that came
left in the darkness of shame
without love, it´s all the same
it´ll be your fall

far from paradise
far from the promised land
the wheel of fortune
never hitting a number at all
it just kept on spinning
outta control

far from paradise
far from the promised land
the wheel of fortune
never hitting a number at all
it just kept on spinning
outta control

the beauty and the beast(Arnold Melleby, 02.05.2016)

the launch is sooner than later
before you know the word of it
we´ll all be outta here

the wheel of fortune
will point our way
come on, let´s collect it all

I never knew
it would turn out like this
and it´s all going down right in front of us

tired of all the lies
tired of all the goodbyes
tired of everything that never happened
of all the broken dreams
where nothing`s as it seems
look up
paradise is coming our way

it´s all here
somewhere between you and I
it´s all here
somewhere between
the beauty and the beast
it´s all here
somewhere between you and I
it´s all here
somewhere between
the beauty and the beast

you and I
taking the trip of our lives
the candles lit
is what keeps us urning

keeping the rocks turning
and the fires burning
hello paradise
here we come

tired of all the lies
tired of all the goodbyes
tired of everything that never happened
of all the broken dreams
where nothing`s as it seems
look up
paradise is coming our way

it´s all here
somewhere between you and I
it´s all here
somewhere between
the beauty and the beast
it´s all here
somewhere between you and I
it´s all here
somewhere between
the beauty and the beast

the lone wolf(Arnold Melleby, 02.02.2016)


the masquerade is fading out
people are heading in various directions
he´s watching it from afar
protected by a willow in it´s prime

never given a home for his heart
never given a chance to love
never saw his loved one in her eyes
she´s leaving the masquerade, as well

can´t you tell
he´ll never brake the spell
he´ll never have the story to tell
the one that lives on in his heart

the lone wolf will drown alone
teardrops outdo the drops of rain
taking his last breath of air
in a river of pain
slowly submerging
into the darkest coldness
the lone wolf
is drowning
the lone wolf
is slowly dying

now, his heart´s ocean-bound
his dreams are back in mother nature´s arms
his lifeless body tumbled around and around
until it hits the ocean floor

he fills his grave well
in the silence of the deep
forever asleep
steel blue eyes staring up towards the sun

many full moons pass the surface
sediments from the river
soon cover what´s left of his earthly body
ashes to ashes, dust to dust

the lone wolf will drown alone
teardrops outdo the drops of rain
taking his last breath of air
in a river of pain
slowly submerging
into the darkest coldness
the lone wolf
is drowning
the lone wolf
is slowly dying
