The Gathering - Home - 2006

1. Shortest Day

he's in a rush run
he has to hurry dash
he's in a rat race
never at a slow pace

forever dangerous
and never serious
up on your energy
expect no sympathy

appreciation is overrated
resting is for fools oh

he lets his blood boil
always in turmoil
blasting his everyway
throughout the shortest day
forever dangerous and never serious
swimming against the stream
and steal all of your dreams

aggravation is appreciated
he'll use you like a tool
association is overrated
friends are for fools

he's in a rush
fever on his eyes
i do not dare and cross him
he'll smash you with his lies
ever so dangerous
he'll haunt you seriously
i wouldn't go within a mile
radius of him

aggravation is appreciated
he'll use you like a tool
association is overrated
friends are for fools

2. In Between

we ride along the great riverside
ever so wide, the cleaver of clarity
she will be wise enough to make us understand
the moment we reach heavenly lands

heavenly, heavenly
we focus on
we follow faithfully
faithfully, faithfully
slowly and surely we'll find our way

the ever present unexpected life is
all that we wanted
all that we choose to lead
we will rise and fall and all the chances
in between

i try to move you to open up your mind
these barren city grounds
make you never look behind
(one day)
you'll be wise enough and you will understand
the moment you reach heavenly land

heavenly, heavenly
we focus on
we follow faithfully
faithfully, faithfully
slowly and surely we'll find our way

the ever present unexpected life is
all that we wanted
all that we choose to lead
we will rise and fall and all the chances
in between

strong winds on desert grounds
release the tendency
and hold it like a cloud
enlightened and breezy
hence the strain it brings
if only we understand
strong winds on desert grounds
foresee our lives

3. Alone

now you see me
getting better
i'm right here on display
and i'll make it
a bit heavier
by going all the way

did you find it
much easier
so stoop to where i was?
with your power
and your knowledge
to leave me here

alone
alone
i'm all alone

alone
alone
i'm all alone

now is the time
for being humble
by holding you down on your knees
i suspect you'll stayed there and crumble
rather so then to be

alone
alone
i'm all alone

alone
alone
i'm all alone

(do you believe?)
(do you believe your heart?)

do you believe your heart? (alone, alone)
trying in all the world to find (alone)
your hard way (alone, alone)
back inside?

i will be there
for you to care
and you'll find
peace of
your mind

alone
alone
i'm all

4. Waking Hour

the eyes are made to see
they see the paths of our lives

the heart is there to feel
it feels the energy of our time

i can see it
i can feel it

this is my waking hour
this is my place
i can hear it
i feel the power in my heart
and is my moment
it is right there
and it's staring me in the face

disguise and make-believe
i see the end of all demise
the only way to heal
is in the honesty of your eyes

i can see it
i can feel it

this is my waking hour
this is my place
i can hear it
i feel the power in my heart
and is my moment
it is right there
staring me in the face

the fight is done
and who are we
to judge what will
become
all the iron armour is laid down away
followed by the heroes
who belong on rested earth
we pray
we feel the rescue coming near
within the woken soul to hear
we sense the calm all wrapped in fear
and all the while we heed
the senses way too vast to see
we beg of you to not let go
our names
will provide us with a soul

i can feel it

falling down
start again
life
can bring you down
the monumental truth
of ellegance in you

falling for (falling for)
the part of who you are
makes you shine inside

5. Fatigue

its time to change...

6. A Noise Severe

i feel it slip
slip away
from my hands
all the away
my heart pounds like mad
i feel it slip
slip away

why am i?
why am i here?
so distant from
my old life
my heart feels so sad
what am i doing here?

doing here

you see i'm riding endlessly
what will become of me?
this higher power knows

you see i'm waiting patiently (i'm waiting patiently)
and what this means to me? (and what this means to me?)
nobody ever knows (nobody ever knows)
no...
you see in all the warmth i feel
is this the end of me? (is this the end of me?)
only i should know (only i should know)
mine...

7. Forgotten

have you forgotten
all this beauty
around you?
all your worries
could easily fade
behind you

who is pulling you back
with such strength?

i hear you calling
your voice is bright

you hear me calling back
after finding
you're alwais right
you're alwais right
and i tried

who is pulling you back
with such strength? (i hear you calling)

i hear you calling

8. Solace

toda una vida de lucha y de trabajo sostenida sin nunca aflojar
toda una vida de lucha y de trabajo sostenida sin nunca flaquear
un pajaro en su jaula en primavera sabe claramente que hay algo
en lo cual le podria ser util
se siente fuertemente vinco sin nacer pero el no puede hacerlo
que es? se dice
el no se recuerda bien y
luego tiene ideas vagas y se dice...

i wonder how i hear your voice?
i feel you whispering
in my ear
i close my eyes

if ever conceiving a sense on self
reflecting upon our desire to dwell
and feign
liberate me

if ever believe in higher ground
to seize the water we'll master before
we drown
liberate me

dampet ishavsrøye på grønnsaksseng
600 g skinn- og benfri røyefilet
5-6 poteter
desde el punto de que independientemente de lo que se haga por mi (1 nepe, 1-2 gulrøtter)
yo no puedo volver a darle un equilibrio a mi vida (6-8 sukkererter)
me siento tranquilo con mi pero simplemente...(6-8 sjampinjonger)
calling on me (litt strimlet savoykål eller spinat)

i hope i will remember you
how you pulled me into the truth
i still hear you
whispering
i close my eyes

if ever conceiving a sense on self
reflecting upon our desire to dwell
and feign
liberate me

if ever believe in higher ground
to seize the water we'll master before
we drown
liberate me

toute une vie de lutte et de travail soutenue sans fléchir
toute une vie de lutte et de travail soutenue sans fléchir
toute une vie de lutte et de travail soutenue sans fléchir

seng av de varme grønnsakene og sjyen
server med flatbrød

far...

this deeper understanding
is your way out.

9. Your Troubles Are Over

towards
the light
i will
move on
and so
i learn
to move
the one
before
the next
the steps i take
will pave
the road
ahead of me

i awoke this morning
wondering if i was alive
my head was spinning in circles
turning to the other side
bare and broken i hold on to walk

i stumbled over my body
i stumbled over my words
uncontrollable upon all wasted
as if i were beyond belief
bare and broken i hold on to walk

towards the light (but im afraid)
i will walk (behind the gate)
i will walk (to ride the rain)
towards the light
i will walk (behind the frame)
i will walk (put up the gate)
toward the light

faster than
the speed of mind
both my arms
are wrapped around
this new experience
my head in clouds
my feet firmly on the ground

towards the light
I will walk
i wrapp my arms
around the ground
beneath my feet

towards the light
i will run
i will run
i will run
towards the light

towards
the light
i will
move on
and so
i learn
to move
the one
before
the next
the steps i take
will pave
the road
ahead of
me

10. Box

wandering
walking
drifting
with the tide
browsing
searching
finding our
way through life

whatever we find
it is all about to last for a while
just a better way to live on our place
the place that we owe our lives
it's a fragile small box

i feel like life its catching up
and the law of
self preservation is being broken
in the end we will give back

wandering
walking (walking)
drifting (drifting)
with the tide
browsing
searching (searching i find)
finding

whatever we find
it is all about to last for a while
just a better way to live on our place
the place that we awe our lives

whatever we find
in it's all about to let
better way (better way)
owe our lives
it's a fragile small box
it's a fragile small box
it's a fragile small box
it's a fragile small box

11. The Quiet One

12. Home

i gave my life to you
and i have
work so hard
at it too

would i do anything
other
than to raise you
to be
the finest man?

after all this years
of ploughing through the weeds
i have turned wise and grey

with every fibre in me
i've lived to see you grow
to be the finest man

i just followed my trail
and i found my way back home
in this light of all
i wanted to display for you
i will never leave you
alone

in the corners of this universal sky
the completion of the day passes my by

as long as the ways of the light
we'll reach your bearing heart
i will find the finest man

i just followed my trail
and i found my way back home
in this light of all
i wanted to display for you
i will never leave you

i came and i saw
i will understand this freedom
and remind you of me
will you pass me on
my pride?

i just followed my trail
and i found my way back home
in this light of all
i wanted to display for you
i will never leave you

i found in life have
my way back home

your life had
my way back home

13. Forgotten Reprise

have you forgotten
all this beauty
around you?
all your worries
could easily fade
behind you

who is pulling you back?
the end is in all
with such
with
her strength
(finn's noises + bells)

just a new take of it, updated with booklet lyrics plus i added some stuff.
