The Gathering

My best shot... i adore Silje's voice and mood, but it's so difficult!!!!!!! *thanks Marcela for her clear pronunciation hahaha. Besos =)

Treasure

We found a stepping stone
over darkest hours
we left no trace at all
and saw footprints ahead
it was a green stone

Stardust would shine away

There was a beautiful vision I had
all shades are bright
we don't have to catch the sight
of ¿no night?
and touch the cooling star

We watched the moon stones
spinning brightest colours
reached for horizons
to touch the (...) ¿line?
(...) ¿from the sky?

Stardust would shine away

We don't have to catch the sight
of ¿no night? and touch the ¿cooling/coolest? star
we don't have to catch the sight

We don't have to catch the sight
of ¿no night? and touch the ¿cooling/coolest? star

All you are

I seem scared
your eyes
bend into me
and then i take it through

Dark and cold
you are asked once here
if i wonder who you are
where are you from?

And i want
all that you are
I want to hide
Hide deep ¿I hate to feel alone?

I seem scared
i dance my (...) about
pretending i
don't care
time and place
i embrace my sanity
i'm wondering
why am i still here?

I lose the race
your eyes meet mine
my future wins

And i want
all that you are
I want to hide
Hide deep ¿I hate to feel alone?

I've heard every word
you have ever said
every story told

And i want all that you are
I want to hide
Hide deep ¿I hate to feel alone?

I've heard every word
you have ever said
every story told

I lose the rest
your eyes meet mine
our future ends

The West Pole

As the late evening sun
slides away through coppered clouds
(...) from my home

(...) ¿rusty? breeze
Slide my way through the empty park
(...)

Your memory fades
like dusk break the shades
and still my (...) comes breaking in
dry raindrops on summer (days)

As the late evening sun
shines her way through the aging sky
closing in on autumn
As I watch the miracle of love
seasons changing in so (...)
(...)

Your memory fades
like dusk break the shades
and still my (...) comes breaking in
dry raindrops on summer days

But I can still see you
and I can still feel you

You're spinning around in my head (3x)

But I can still hear you
and i can still see you

As dawn before I
the perfect (...) I (...)
You call/come my (...)

Your memory fades
like dusk break the shades
and still my (...) comes breaking in
dry raindrops on summer (days)

No Bird Call

¿Once? there were beautiful dreams
now there are concrete seas
and ¿there? they come as before (...)
could cover me in wonderful sounds
is/as replaced by a symphony of silence

Fading letters of comforting words
never had time to say goodbye

¿Once? there were beautiful dreams
she's been alone
she's been alone for some time now

It's been a while, quite a while
and ¿there? they come as before (...)
could cover me on wonderful sounds
is/as replaced by silence

She had it all
what's left is there to ¿follow?
she had it all
what's left is there to ¿call/come?
(this verses repeated 'til fade out)

Capital of Nowhere

Before the morning wakes
noise's gone up in flames
(...) lies

The silence's gone away
don't easily fade away
in... the highs/heights

Light travels through the ¿winter? skies
unravels pieces of the mind
and slowly the heart opens

Before the morning wakes
noise's gone up in flames
(...) in the northern light

It's more than you can take
to carry all the way
I know you've tried

Light etc etc etc

I need
need
I need
your light

You Promised Me A Symphony

It is 1 PM
school bells ringing
my heart beats fast
I'd better get running

She shouldn't be alone
I should've been at home

Your guns
your lies
your cigarettes
your war

She kept her safe
our hearts were filled with fear
your prince left messy stains
but who was there to ¿clear?

She shouldn't be alone
I should've been at home

My hope
my faith
your ignorance
your loss

Pale Traces

When?, when did you lose your smile?
where you walking all alone at night?
searching endlessly for a way to join the pieces
of what you used to be

Let me hold you
hold you
for a moment

When?, when did you lose your smile?
was it all too much to take at once?
that suddenly you felt
you had nothing left

The coldest winter
can't freeze your heart
one day you'll see than even the longest winter
passes by

Yet through the years
I'd still give it all to hold you
hold you
for a moment

When?, when did your dream fade out?
did it seem
it wasn't worth it at all
then i'll try another million ways
to make you understand

The coldest winter
can't freeze your heart
one day you'll see that i'd give it all
all to hold you
not even when all hope is gone
oh i'd still give it all
to hold you
hold you for a moment

One day you'll see
those heavy clouds
we'll soon make way
for brighter days

One day you'll see
I believe
for you're all alone
and i will never let go of your hand

One day you'll see
one day you'll see

No One Spoke

How did we get here?
where is the silence?
(...) within
how can you sleep?
when war is ¿all over?

We are walking on fire
we were seeking inside
I am ¿digging? in my past
change my (...)

Why did we go there?
what were we thinking?
breathe without, I need to break through
'cause war is ¿¿¿all over???

Shiny hours
seem far
seem so far away

We're walking on fire,
we were seeking inside
I am ¿digging? in my past
before (...)
change my (...)

We talked and talked
but no one spoke
we laughed and laughed
and no one spoke
(repeat those verses til fade out)

A Constant Run (THIS SONG IS COMPLETELY IMPOSSIBLE, SO HAVE YOUR LAUGHS)

He has a taste that (...)
and it's oh so sweet
he likes to make it (...)
and he pulls at every single string/screen

We had a warm welcome (...) frost
(............) every little thing
sings the sweetest songs to me
she is his favourite little thing

You will be wandering
through some beautiful moments
I hear the ¿blue bells? ringing
¿and touching through me?

He's somewhere screaming out his angry mind
his mona lisa's of the screen (.....)

And it's oh so neat
shall we paint the picture

I need a crowd to jump on (...)
some way to dream,
to pick my own sparkling sun

_________________

Haha I also can hardly understand anything in Constant Run (or No One Spoke)
Just these parts:
Shiny hours
seem far
seem so far away
sings the sweetest songs to me
she's his favourite little thing

Well I can't wait for the official lyrics

Yeiiiihhh you got it !!! well we're just gonna have to wait hahahaha unless Silje logs in the forum and helps us a bit with her "guesses" hahahaha

_________________

I started with No One Spoke, got pissed, went to A Constant Run. Decided I would lose my mind trying to get every word.

I went with "You Promised Me A Symphony" I'm sure this is about dead on the actual lyrics.


You Promised Me A Symphony


It is 1PM
School bells ringing
My heart beats fast
I better get a runnin'
She shouldn't be alone
I should have been at home


Your guns, your lies
Your cigarettes, your war
Your guns, your lies
Cigarettes, your war


She kept us safe
Our hearts were filled with fear
Your prints left messy stains
But who was there to clean up
She shouldn't be alone
I should have been at home


My hope, my faith
Your ignorance, your loss
My hope, my faith
Your ignorance, your loss

No it is "prints" like finger prints left messy stains

and "clean up" the stains.

That does make more sense haha
Your You Promised Me A Symphony seems quite accurate.

yeah that stuff makes mayor sense.



though i wasnt that far out on that particular song, for the sake of the argument i mean.

_________________

A constant RUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!

I love this song!!!

_________________

one hell of a sticky chorus in that one.

alright mayor BLAH on this couple, but remember its all for fun and BridgeToClarity's amusement.

no one spoke

how did we get here?
where is the silence?
we didnt knew then...
how can you sleep?
when war is all over

we are walking in a fire
but
seeking the side out

i am living in my path
but
change not last

why did we go there?
what were we thinking?
we need to breathe out
i need to break through
cause war is all over you

shinny hours
seems far
seems so far away

we are walking in a fire
but
seeking the side out

i am living in my path
but
change not last

we talked them tight
when no one spoke
we'll often rot
no one spoke

we talked them tight
when no one spoke
we'll often lie
no one spoke

we talked them tight
when no one spoke
we'll often rot
when no one spoke

we talked them tight


a constant run

he has a taste to find us
and its all so sweet
he likes to make you cleaned up
and he pulls in every single string

we had a warm welcome
breath tamed frost
he'd given every little thing
saves the sweet us
sums to me
she is his clay of relayed old paint

you have been wandering through some beautiful moments
i hear the blue bells are ringing
to touch our blue moments
he suffered screaming of this angry minds
this melodies had stop the scream
he and hers can

thus you're here to healing
and its all so neat
i shall repaint the picture
and dye it into abstract art

i need a cloud to your boat
someway to dream
to pick my own spot inside
choose your velvet
breaking in
into my heart on a constant run

he can provide to safe place when toughts get heavy
he will be carrying in them
a wall apart from you
he will be poisoning his still growing mind
this melodies have stop the scream
he and hers can

i tried to catch
this aren't amused
they will for you my girl
it shines away this diamonds
you are my proudest little pearl

you give his princess
in his laps
he'll give you every little thing
cinder cherries
of finnest grid
he'll do it all to make her clear

you have been wandering through some beautiful moments
i hear the blue bells are ringing
to touch our blue moments
he suffered screaming of this angry minds
melodies had stop the scream
he and hers can

Which songs haven't been done yet?

When Trust Becomes Sound And well just try to figure out what is said in that song

_________________
Maybe i'm paranoid, yeah that's my problem
You almost have to be when you look like me

_________________
Look at me...There were more to see, there were more to be proud of….

well, deciphering Tool lyrics all these years has payed off I could help you guys but meh.. :p

Alright. I'll help out with When Trust Becomes Sound.

Edit: hahaha, that was a good one. Well, the track itself is not bad, I think.

yeah some crazy talking is going on that first track.

while trying to listen to the lyrics i noticed that on "no one spoke" in the outro verse after some lines, there is a vocal overdub wich is a scream by silje, you have to pay atention but is there, and its sounds awesome . and actually i think this happens on some of the other songs too. i might add, when i first listened to "pale traces" i thought marcela's performance was a bit weak, though after continous repetitions, and due to my lyrical agenda, i came to fully appreciate her performance, specially for her last verse where she manages to climax her crescendo. she sang with stream of passion, if you know what i mean.

Hmm.. this is what I came up with:

Treasure

We found a stepping stone
over darkest hours
we left no trace at all
and saw footprints ahead
it was a green stone

Stardust would shine away

There was a beautiful vision I had
all shades are bright
we don't have to catch the sight of no light
and touch the cooling star

We watched the moon stones
spinning brightest colours
reached for horizons
to touch the line
that separates us from the sky

Stardust would shine away

We don't have to catch the sight of no light
We don't have to catch the sight of no light
and touch the cooling star

More coming in a bit..

Missing lyrics (from Faridee's post):

All you are

I seem scared
your eyes bend into me
and then I take it through

Dark and cold
you are asked once here
I wonder who you are
where are you from?

And I want
all that you are
I want to hide
Hide deep
I hate to feel alone

I seem scared
I dance my act about pretending
I don't care
time and place I embrace my sanity
I'm wondering
why am I still here?

I lose the race
your eyes meet mine
my future wins

And I want
all that you are
I want to hide
Hide deep
I hate to feel alone

I've heard every word
you have ever said
every story told

And I want all that you are
I want to hide
Hide deep
I hate to feel alone

I've heard every word
you have ever said
every story told

I lose the rest
your eyes meet mine
our future ends

The West Pole

As the late evening sun
slides away through copper clouds
(can't exactly make out what she's singing here, though the last word sounds a bit like town)

That arbor (my best guess on this one), rusty breeze
I slide my way through the empty park


Your memory fades
like dusk break the shades
the still light comes breaking in
dry raindrops on summer days

As the late evening sun
shines her way through the aging sky
closing in ??
As I watch the miracle of love
seasons changing in so ??

Your memory fades
like dusk break the shades
the still light comes breaking in
dry raindrops on summer days

But I can still see you
and I can still feel you

You're spinning around in my head (3x)

And I can still hear you
And I can still see you

Cast down (I'm 90% sure of this)
I thought I heard
the perfect mood (you can definitely hear a "d" in there)
I thought I heard you call my name

Your memory fades
like dusk break the shades
the still light comes breaking in
dry raindrops on summer days
