Neverland
02:26
|

Let the magic start
Leave the window open
Underneath the stars
There's a highway to a faraway land
Little ones see it, but grown-ups can't
Quiet Friday night
She's a little dreamy
Comes a darting light
And a tiny stranger drops on the floor
Somehow she knows they have met before
I come from Neverland
Where Neverwood trees stand tall
Come take me by the hand
I'll show you the long ago
With a little faith
It could be so easy
But tonight's too late
For the heart has grown too heavy to fly
If only she could, she would turn back time
I come from Neverland
Where Neverwood trees stand tall
Come take me by the hand
I'll show you the long ago

Soar
02:43
|
|||
Feather changing time
Others passing by
I watch them glide
Through the ever-troubled skies
It's gonna take a while
Till the day when I
Get brave enough to explore
When I soar
Let the wind be strong
I will face it all
And ride the storm
Like the ones before me
Take a step and fall
Into the unknown
I promise I'll fear no more
When I soar
Rising higher than mountains
Draped in blinding-white snow
I've left the doubts far below
I'm home

Woods and Winds
02:20
|

There's a forest by the ocean
Lots have gone there, and it seems
No one came back from the place that
Now is known as Woods and Winds
I was thirteen when I went there
Left at night to not be seen
No one stopped me as I headed
To explore the Woods and Winds
When I made it through the forest
And I saw the ocean blue
Salty winds blew all my worries away
I had never felt so new
So I went back to my hometown
Just to tell them what I'd seen
And the way back was much shorter, it seemed,
I felt home at Woods and Winds
When I came back, all the people
Froze in place and stared at me...
I'm a stranger in my hometown
Now I've been through Woods and Winds
So I'm leaving, it's forever
Please forgive me, I have sinned
Left my soul there by the ocean
Now I'm off to Woods and Winds

The Drifter

He was drifting through the world solo
Like a ship without a sail
Letting mighty waves and winds show the way
He was dreaming of the far places
Where nobody knew his name
Where he could go a bit insane
Let the rain wash his memories away
Chartless places would remind him of the life
He was meant to live
No more weariness, no more dreariness
Every day's a miracle
He would keep his eyes wide open
He'd been carrying his past so long
It grew heavy over time
Not a chance to travel light in this life
He was following the stream so strong
Ever waiting for a sign
But even if he cut the knot
Still he's got so much left to redefine
Chartless places would remind him of the man
He was meant to be
No more weariness, no more dreariness
Every day's a miracle
He would keep his eyes wide open

Kejserens nye Klæder

Half a life ago time was all we had
We had never cared 'bout the call
of the old tempter whispering
Take a look at me
Take a look at me
I'll set you free
Let the voices in your ear
I will make you the finest gown
King of hearts on your sleeve
I will make you feel safe and sound
I will weave
Fads would come and go
Time was all we had
Yet another one's gone
to the otherside screaming
Take a look at me
Take a look at me
I'm running free
Though the voices never leave
I will make you the finest gown
King of hearts on your sleeve
I will make you feel safe and sound
I will weave
I will make you the finest gown
King of hearts on your sleeve
I will make you feel safe and sound
I will make you the finest gown
King of hearts on your sleeve
I will make you feel safe and sound
I will weave

Gather Round
03:06
|
|||
Gather round, I got tales to tell
As the evening retires
Of the kingdoms that rose and fell
To empires
Of the shadows that lingered on
Never ready to leave
When the life that we knew was gone with the wind
Free to roam
I long for home
And shadows call
Changes came dressed in blacks and reds
Fast and hungry like fire
Bridges burnt as we shook our heads
In denial
All the things that we loved the most
Got redone and recast
Turning us into nameless ghosts of the past
Free to roam
I long for home
And shadows call

Spotless Mind
02:56
|

If only love could stay in place, our days would last
We had it all and let it fade into the past
I had to try to let it die and free my life
It takes a minute to forget and years to revive
I never thought that clearing thoughts would feel so fine
We're breaking up and moving on with peace of mind
To get it back, to start again, we crossed the line
It took a moment to erase, now how to rewind?
If only love could stay in place, our days would last

Once Broken
03:11
|
|||
Have my dreams to keep me company
Like a rainbow in the dark
They colour my nights
But every dawn that shines on me
Finds me colour-blind
I thank my past for every joy and pain
From the bottom of my heart
Now where have they gone?
The only time I feel again
Comes before the dawn
Slowly I recall
Just how it felt before
I was once broken
I'll never fall again
I got a heart once broken
I close my eyes and leave the world behind
Let my body take a rest
I let my mind take a stroll
The darkness is my only guide
Down the rabbit hole
Slowly I recall
Just how it felt before
I was once broken
I'll never fall again
I got a heart once broken
Slowly I recall
Just how it felt before

Alive
02:39

I don't know if crazy things like you go to heaven
You would surely say that sounds naive
It always seemed like you would join that Club 27
Still I can't believe
Now I'll keep the reminders
Close to my heart
Save them all till the end
You know, you made connections
That death cannot cut
And you're alive in each of them
Nevermind if time can heal the heart of the mourner
I'll never let the memory fade away
I can see you standing in the dark, in the corner
I can hear you play
I will keep the reminders
Close to my heart
Save them all till the end
You know, you made connections
That death cannot cut
And you're alive in each of them
