[ Buy Below The Lights ]

[Music: Ivar Peersen - Lyrics: Ivar Peersen]
[* = excerpt from Norwegian author Aksel Sandemose, book "Vi pynter oss med horn"]

"Dei for ifra nord
Mot ei anna tid
Bak l?g brende ord
Framfor dei ei ny strid

Dei s?g s?g stormar i det fjerne
Men haldt fram og beint
Inn mot jordas kjerne
Fr? tidleg mot seint"

I see a darkness overwhelming
I see that there is no light for me
I don't care if it leaves me blind
I don't care if I'm left behind

I see a white horse's head
I see it's dead stare fixed at me
I do not fear its eyes
Curse myself, return it twice

I see walls to high to climb
I see nothing on the other side
I should have roamed another space
I should have been another place

*"Dei daue gror opp av havet og ropar s? s?rt mot land.
Dei ropar bak alle skuter, som kavar seg tungt forbi"

I am among ghosts when I should rest
I cannot tell the worlds apart
I do not heed the words they say
There is no dream of another day

I hear a silence, deafening
Drowning the deserts, that is my destiny
I no longer wish to see
The threads they've spun for me.

"Dei for ifra nord
Mot ei anna tid
Bak l?g brende ord
Framfor dei ei ny strid

Dei s?g s?g stormar i det fjerne
Men haldt fram og beint
Inn mot jordas kjerne
Fr? tidleg mot seint"
