JAHN TEIGEN - DRØM DITT LIV
Vi har bygd så mange murer
Som vi burde rive ned
Men frykten for det ukjente
Har vel hindret oss i det
Vi har bygd for lite broer
Som kunne blitt en farbar vei
En reise mot et åpent land
Som finns i deg og meg
Drøm ditt liv ~ Lev din drøm
Snart krysser du ditt spor
Drøm ditt liv og lev din drøm
Nå kysser du din jord
Vi har levd blant dirigenter
Og marsjert i takt med dem
Men vi har våre sanger
Som kjenner veien hjem
Men en dag vil isen tine
En dag blir friheten en foss
Og den lange kalde vinter
Blir en ny vår inni oss
Drøm ditt liv ~ Lev din drøm
Snart krysser du ditt spor
Drøm ditt liv og lev din drøm
Nå kysser du din jord
Skal Hilse Fra Fjellet
jeg kommer med bud;
det lyste så herlig der inne.
På floene vogga myrduna brud,
mens viddene lekte så linne.
Det let i kvar busk, det var slikt et kor,
og sang til mitt øre seg søkte.
Og rypa, min elskede, møtte mitt spor,
hvor sti langs med bekken seg krøkte.
Det glitret i stryket, det blinket i vak,
og gleden i brystet mitt bruste.
Over aurete botn storfisken rak,
mens fjellbrisen vasskorpa kruste.
Værhardt sto fjellbjørka, vindvridd og låg,
mens nevera trivelig smilte.
Og under dens lauvheng med glede jeg såg,
at villreinen stille seg kvilte.
Skal hilse fra fjellet - det evige land,
hvor moskus og jerven har bolig.
Min lengsel dit inn er blitt som en brann.
Kun der får jeg fred og blir rolig.
VAMP - VÅKEN DRØM
det går mot nok ein dag.
Og gjenlyden i fra di røst
og dine hjerteslag
e det fjerna svaret eg fremdeles får
kver gan eg ber mi stumma bønn.
Men eg tar det med meg kor enn eg går
mens eg vente i ein våken drøm.
Det hende at eg ser deg gå
forbi ein gang i blant
et streif av sol i alt det grå
det klaraste eg fant.
Det va eventyret om å finna ein skatt
der stjerner speiles i en brønn
og eg får og speide ei stjernenatt
mens eg vente i ein våken drøm.
Du e ei uro i mitt sinn
eg aldri kan bli kvitt.
Hvis du vil gi meg dagen din
så får du livet mitt.
For alt me har e her og nå
og tiå renne som ein strøm.
Eg ser dagar komma og dagar gå
mens eg vente i ein våken drøm.
DARE - SILENCE OF YOUR HEAD
You stand alone in the darkness of your room
You've seen it all before, my friend
And here you are once more on your own
You've cast your stone and you've watched the circles fade away
You've seen your life go cold
The memories you still hold
They lay you down to die
In your eyes your spirit can't hide
In the silence of your head
In the darkness of your empty room, my baby
When you can't carry on
And the feeling is gone
Well there's so much more
You tear away at the pages of your life
You've seen it all too soon you gazed upon the moon
And here you are once more
In my eyes your spirit still flies
In the silence of your head
In the darkness of your empty room, my baby
When you can't carry on
And the feeling is gone
Well there's so much more
There's so much more tonight
You stand alone in the darkness of your room
You've seen it all before, my friend
And here you are once more
On your own
In the silence of your head
In the darkness of your empty room, my baby
When you can't carry on
And the feeling is gone
Well there's so much more
There's so much more tonight
In the silence of your head
In the darkness of your empty room, my baby
When you can't carry on
And the feeling is gone
Well there's so much more
There's so much more tonight
Well there's so much more
There's so much more tonight
DREAMTALE - IF YOU WILL GO
You will always be my only choice
As you speak the words of love
I sense the warmth and feel so calm
I barely feel your fingertips
Across my skin and on my lips
The feeling that you are close to me
Makes me shiver, makes me weep
[Chorus]
No one is more than you
Nothing compares to you
If you give my love away
You'd better know the game you play
'Cause my heart will loose a home If you will go
[Solo]
I wish this night to last forever
And we could always be together
But by the dawn you'll be gone
And once more I'll be left all alone
Before you go my precious one
My only love, my brightest sun
I have one wish before you fly
Please come back tomorrow night
STEELHEART - SHE'S GONE
Out of my life.
I was wrong,
I'm to blame,
I was so untrue.
I can't live without her love.
In my life
There's just an empty space.
All my dreams are lost,
I'm wasting away.
Forgive me, girl.
[Chorus]
Lady, won't you save me?
My heart belongs to you.
Lady, can you forgive me?
For all I've done to you.
Lady, oh, lady.
She's gone,
Out of my life.
Oh, she's gone.
I find it so hard to go on.
I really miss that girl, my love.
Come back into my arms.
I'm so alone,
I'm begging you,
I'm down on my knees.
Forgive me, girl.
Lady, oh, lady.
My heart belongs to you.
Lady, can you forgive me?
For all I've done to you.
AXEL RUDI PELL - HOLY DIVER
You've been down too long in the midnight sea
Oh what's becoming of me
Ride the tiger
You can see his stripes but you know he's clean
Oh don't you see what I mean
Gotta get away get away
Gotta get away get away
Holy Diver Holy Diver
Holy Diver Holy Diver
Shiny diamonds
Like the eyes of a cat in the black and blue
Something is coming for you
Race for the morning
You can hide in the sun 'till you see the light
Oh we will pray it's all right
Gotta get away get away
Gotta get away get away
Between the velvet lies
There's a truth that's hard as steel
The vision never dies
Life's a never ending wheel
Holy Diver Holy Diver
Holy Diver Holy Diver
Holy Diver Holy Diver
Holy Diver
You're the star of the masquerade
Holy Diver
No need to look so afraid
Holy Diver
AXEL RUDI PELL - DON'T SAY GOODBYE
I looked outside the window
seeing faces disappear
the wheels of time kept turning
through endless days and nights
I'm hiding my soul from the light
Holding on to the two sides of a coin
I'm blinded by lies
too late to return
Late at night the fire starts to burn
I'm a Prisoner of flames
will I ever learn
We're falling in and outta love
calling our hearts
tears from heaven
chorus:
Don't say goodbye
Love is forever
and I need you to stay
Don't say goodbye
we're so strong together
don't leave me this way
On and on we searched for Fool's Gold
putting down the trigger of love
Any chance we had is passing by
just too late for another try
Lonely hearts lost fires in the night
the end of our romance's in sight
DREAM THEATER - THE SPIRIT CARRIES ON
Where did we come from?
Why are we here?
Where do we go when we die?
What lies beyond
And what lay before?
Is anything certain in life?
They say, "Life is too short,"
"The here and the now"
And "You're only given one shot"
But could there be more,
Have I lived before,
Or could this be all that we've got?
If I die tomorrow
I'd be allright
Because I believe
That after we're gone
The spirit carries on
I used to be frightened of dying
I used to think death was the end
But that was before
I'm not scared anymore
I know that my soul will transcend
I may never find all the answers
I may never understand why
I may never prove
What I know to be true
But I know that I still have to try
If I die tomorrow
I'd be allright
Because I believe
That after we're gone
The spirit carries on
"Move on, be brave
Don't weep at my grave
Because I am no longer here
But please never let
Your memory of me disappear"
Safe in the light that surrounds me
Free of the fear and the pain
My questioning mind
Has helped me to find
The meaning in my life again
Victoria's real
I finally feel
At peace with the girl in my dreams
And now that I'm here
It's perfectly clear
I found out what all of this means
If I die tomorrow
I'd be allright
Because I believe
That after we're gone
The spirit carries on
DREAM THEATER - ANNA LEE
They invite your hands to fill their needs
Will be the same
Shameless smile
To steal from you the innocence that bleeds
Will they feel your pain
Trying to believe
The scars unseen
The tears wash clean
You don't wanna breathe the air you breathe
You don't know how you'll live a life alone
She keeps holding on
Holding on to you
Let her breathe the air
Don't wanna be alone
Where do you belong
Anna Lee
Behind those eyes
The vivid scene
A lucid dream within
Questioned secrets are revealed
And everytime
You can't deny
The lines that trace your skin
Wounds that never heal
Trying to believe
The scars unseen
The tears wash clean
You don't wanna breathe the air you breathe
You don't know how you'll live a life alone
She keeps holding on
Holding on to you
Let her breathe the air
Don't wanna be alone
Where do you belong
Anna Lee
And now she's calling out a name
Can't keep on hiding all her pain
You feel the rain move in
As you begin
To turn and answer the call
Trying to believe
The scars unseen
The tears wash clean
You don't wanna breathe the air you breathe
You don't know how you'll live a life alone
She keeps holding on
Holding on to you
Let her breathe the air
Don't wanna be alone
Where do you belong
Anna Lee
DREAM THEATER - THE BEST OF TIMES
And how it flew so fast
The two score and a year we had,
I thought would always last
The summer days and west coast dreams,
I wished would never end
A young boy and his father,
Idol and best friend
I'll always remember
Those were the best of times
A lifetime together
I'll never forget
The morning shows on the radio
The case of the missing dog
Lying on the pillows at the old 812
Watching Harold and Maude
The record shops, the stick-ball fields
My home away from home
And when we weren't together
The hours on the phone
I'll always remember
Those were the best of times
I'll cherish them forever
The best of times
But then came the call
Our lives changed forever more
You can pray for a change
But prepare for the end
The fleeting winds of time
Flying through each day
All the things I should have done
But time just slipped away
Remember "seize the day"
Life goes by in the blink of an eye
There's so much left to see
These were the best of times
I'll miss these days
Your spirit laid my life each day
Thank you for the inspiration
Thank you for the smiles
All the unconditional love
That carried me for miles
It carried me for miles
But most of all thank you for my life
These were the best of times
I'll miss these days
Your spirit laid my life each day
My heart is bleeding bad
But I'll be okay
Your spirit guides my life each day
HAMMERFALL - BETWEEN TWO WORLDS
One leads to change, one leads to where I've been before
I am an angel, on broken wings
I am the beast, the devil and all in between
Nothing at all
It's never dark here, it's never light
Feeling like I'm caught between two worlds
Between two worlds
When the night comes down, the blade comes out
I wish, I wish, I wish I felt something at all
Nothing's wrong or right, nor black or white
Behind the hurt I see the lust come shining through
What do I do
Just like the rainbow, between mist and sun
Feeling like I'm trapped between two worlds
Between two worlds
Never laugh or smile, I never cry
My mind is numb, and I can't take it anymore
Screaming in frustration, no sound is heard
Am I asleep, or am I starring in a dream
Please wake me up
Sometimes the hunter, sometimes the prey
Feeling like I'm trapped, lost and never found
Feeling like I'm caught between two worlds
Without a home
AXEL RUDI PELL - LIKE A CHILD AGAIN
I'm not scared anymore
I'm not scared of the dark when I sleep with you, with you
And i'm feeling alive
And i'm feeling strong again when I'm with you, with you
And it hits me
Just like a runaway train
And it blows me away
Just like a hurricane
You can make me happy and I hope you feel the same
You make me feel just like a child, a child again
I'm not trapped anymore
Between Madonna and the whore when I lay with you, with you
And the days run away
Like wild horses run away when I'm with you, with you
And I'm breathing you in (breathing you in)
Just like the morning air
And I'm wrapping you around (around)
Just like a skin to wear
You can make me happy and I hope you feel the same
You make me feel just like a child, a child again
Oh sweet thing
I'm born once again
For you sweet thing
Just like a baby again
You make me happy and I hope you feel the same
And I'm in heaven and it feels like a gentle rain
You make me happy and I want you to feel the same
You make me feel like a child, a child again
GUSTAV LORENTZEN - IKKE SLÅ
Det er friminutt, og plutselig er skolegården full.
Noen prater, noen løper, noen lager tøys og tull.
Noen store står og spiser, noen andre går og fniser.
Noen leter inni nesa etter gull.
Borti kroken står en flokk med nesten bare gutter i,
men i midten er en jente, hun er åtte eller ni.
Hun er sølete på jakken, står og kikker ned i bakken,
og de nærmeste kan høre henne si:
Ikke slå. Ikke slå. Ikke slå. Ikke slå.
Når det ringer ut for siste gang og alle mann har fri,
vet hun at de står og venter på et sted hun må forbi.
Hun kan se dem ved butikken
der de bøller i trafikken,
det er ingen som kan høre henne si:
Ikke slå. Ikke slå. Ikke slå. Ikke slå.
Jenta ynker seg i søvne, det er sent på natterstid.
Hun har bamsen med i senga, han er kledd som politi.
Mamma setter seg der inne,
stryker datteren på kinnet,
men hun gråter når hun hører barnet si:
Ikke slå. Ikke slå. Ikke slå. Ikke slå.
DRIVER - I BELIVE IN LOVE
Destiny pictured on the silver screen in my dreams
Agony, it was all I ever knew
Until I found victory searching for the vital clue
It was you
You take me by the hand, lift me up and make me
stand so that I can live again
I believe in love
You give me everything I need
Can't live without love
You're the one who sets me free
I believe in love
And I know I'll never be without love
Patiently leading me from all my fears
And now so faithfully you carry me
as the years disappear
You take me as I am
lift me up and make me stand
and I'll never doubt again
I believe in love
You give me everything I need
Can't live without love
You're the one who sets me free
I believe in love
And I know I'll never be without love
As I look beyond the sky
I can picture my eternity
As you look into my heart
You will know who holds the key
You're the one for me
you're the one who sets me free
I could never live without your love
Here I am, waiting for the final scene
ARWEN - ETERNALLY
I hear your voice again
through the wind in dreams
inside me
The brightmess of your eyes
stays in my mind
all the time
Fly away my memories
I don't know where
and my tears still falling down
a silver lake
where my sadness grows
Everynight of this cold winter
I feel you near
so close I see you here
touching me
Oh,my love
drow your sadness because
my love will be with you
forever...
Fly away...
May the sun shine eternally
and may the sea dry
death covers me with it's dark cape
(but never will the flame of your love die on me)
Fly away my memories
I don't know where
and my tears still falling down
a silver lake
where my sadness grows...
May the sun shine eternally
and may the sea dry...
HENNING KVITNES - UT Å VEKKE SOLA
Opp og ut å vekke sola
så lita tid på denna jorda
kom deg opp på himmelen
nå er det søren i meg sommer'n.
me kan ikkje sova bort sumar natt
ho kan ikkje ligga der heilt forlatt
no livda det i lund og kratt
og vi kan høyre både fest og skratt
opp og ut å vekke sola
så lite tid på denna jorda
kom deg opp på himmelen
nå er det søren i meg sommer'n
Nå kan vi sitte der på trammen
å se på sol oppgangen sammen
bare fryd og gammen
har du kaffen så har jeg drammen
opp og ut å vekke sola
så lita tid på denna jorda
kom deg opp på himmelen
nå er det søren i meg sommer'n.
å når morgenen står opp så snill og stor
og speila seg i vår fjord
det dufter i fra dogfriskt jord
og vi kan kjenne at livet gror
ja vi kan kjenne at livet gror.
opp og ut å vekke sola
så lita tid på denna jorda
kom deg opp på himmelen
nå er det søren i meg sommer'n
opp og ut å vekke sola
så lite tid på denna jorda
kom deg opp på himmelen
nå er det søren i meg sommer'n
søren i meg sommer'n
søren i meg sommer'n igjen.
HENNING KVITNES - SÅNNE SOM OSS
Kom nå og sett deg
Eller kom og legg deg
Kom la meg få føle deg igjen
Kom nå og hold meg
Bare hold litt rundt meg
Kan vi si vi starter herfra, min venn
vi har vært ute i universet, Som to satelitter på vår vei
Men heldigvis så har vi landa, Og du rett i nærheten av meg
Sånne som oss, vi har bruk for en kjæreste
Og den kjæresten har jeg tenkt sku vær deg
Så sett deg ned, det er jo rett før vi er der
Som to stifinnere på rett vei
Ja, vi har jo hverandre
Og det er ingen andre
Og det vi drømte om, det var det som skulle til
Og det er ingen som diskuterer
Ingen som utleverer
Hverandre, og aller minst seg sjæl
Vi er erfaringene rikere
Og gjelda er sanert for en stund
Men likegyldig hva jeg sier
Så er det bare ord som kommer ut av min munn
Sånne som oss, vi har bruk for en kjæreste
Og den kjæresten har jeg tenkt sku være deg
Så sett deg ned, det er jo rett før vi er der
Som to stifinner på rett vei
Vi har bruk for en kjæreste
Og den kjæresten her jeg tenkt sku være deg
Så sett deg ned, det er jo rett før vi er der
Som to stifinnere på rett vei

LUNATICA - FABLE OF DREAMS
Sometimes in heaven a fable is born
Nobody knows where it comes from
It gives us strength and it tells us of love
And everyone of us is touched in their hearts
It may enrich us or pull us down so far
But life is not always black and white
Let me believe it, let my eyes see
Each day a new page is written, I know
Therefore this fable, it will never end
Because it's the fable of dreams
Hope for the hopeless and light for the blind
If we let this message reach our minds
It may enrich us or pull us down so far
And live can be more than black and white
Let me believe it, let my eyes see
Each day a new page is written, I know
Therefore this fable, it will never end
Because it's the fable of dreams
Hold on to belief, hear the call of the fable
The fable of dreams
Let me believe it, let my eyes see
Each day a new page is written, I know
Therefore this fable, it will never end
Because it's the fable of dreams
ASIA - CUTTING IT FINE
The door swings open but you won't go it
You hate the movie that you haven't seen
You couldn't see what I have in mind
I see you laughing but you're
Cutting it, cutting it fine
You never should have done those things to me
There's one thread left 'tween you and history
And while our temperature is rising high
I'm warning you that you are
Cutting it, cutting it fine
Cutting it, cutting it fine...
You gambled all on one important game
Now take the debt and don't complain
Your game was up, I saw it all the time
I saw that vice, girl, you're
Cutting it, cutting it fine
Your sole advisor watch out for yourself
You never listen to anyone else
You were the one who ignored the signs
Dancing on a fine line
Cutting it, cutting it fine
ASIA - RIDE EASY
Many days I’ve traveled but I know not where I’m going to
I’m lost, lost along the way
From Mexico to Paris, always the same solitary circle
In an empty café
Their faces were so empty meaningless and negative to me
I could have died
The bodies and the strangers reflected in their glasses as they drank not seeing eye to eye
Ride Easy my friends this journey ends before it begins
Ride Easy my friends this story ends before it begins
Long dead Winter when I thought that
Spring would never come again melting the snow
Many days I’ve reveled evenings through to mornings
through to evenings with nothing to show
Ride Easy my friends this journey ends before it begins
Ride Easy my friends this story ends before it begins, oh
Their faces were so empty meaningless and negative to me
I could have died
The bodies and the strangers reflected in their glasses as they drank not seeing eye to eye Many days I’ve traveled going ‘round in social circles lost, lost along the way
Many nights I’ve reveled but I thought I saw the message in a bottle and drifting away
SECRET GARDEN - MY LAND
How green are your valleys
How blue your great skies
Your mountains stand tall in their glory
Your rivers run free
The bright stars are your eyes
Your beauty is endless before me
For you are the song ever singing in me
And you are the heart ever true
For you are my land
And you always will be
The voice ever calling me home to you
When to your green valleys
Some day I return
When you lay your mantle around me
At rest I will be
Where the heart will not yearn
Then my land will ever surround me
For you are the song ever singing in me
And you are the heart ever true
For you are my land
And you always will be
The voice ever calling me home to you
[Repeat]
The voice ever calling me home to you
DREAM THEATRE - THROUGH HER EYES
Songwriters: PETRUCCI, JOHN / PORTNOY, MICHAEL / MYUNG, JOHN / RUDESS, JORDAN / LABRIE, KEVIN JAMES
On that fateful moonlight night
Sacrificed without a fight
A victim of her circumstances
Now that I`ve become aware
And I`ve exposed this tragedy
A sadness grows inside of me
It all seems so unfair
I`m learning all about my life
By looking through her eyes
Just beyond the churchyard gates
Where the grass is overgrown
I saw her writing on her stone
I felt like I would suffocate
In loving memory of our child
So innocent, eyes open wide
I felt so empty as I cried
Like part of me had died
And as her image
Wandered through my head
I wept just like a baby
As I lay awake in bed
And I know what it`s like
To lose someone you love
And this felt just the same
She wasn`t given any choice
Desperation stole her voice
I`ve been given so much more in life
I`ve got a son, I`ve got a wife
I had to suffer one last time
FIGHT AGAINST THE TIDE
(Payne/Nye)
When the doubts you have begin to show
When the winds of change begin to blow your dream away
As the winter cold can touch the bone
And like a crowd, voices in your mind
But as the thunder dies, you're standing on your own
Even in your darkest night
When the shadows hide the guiding light that leads the way alone
And heaven seems to turn it's head
Sometimes, to break away the ties
You have to find the strength to carry on
Fight against the tide
To cut the hardest stone
Fight against the tide
The blood begins to flow
Hold on, through the storm could take your life
Be strong and you will survive
You won't give in
Even though the walls around you fall
No don't give in
Still the flames alive
'Till the end of time
And so you fight against the tide
When the doubts you have begin to show
When the winds of change begin to blow your dream away
When the fire has left your soul
Look straight ahead
In the face of fear
Take on the world and all it has to give
Fight against the tide
To cut the hardest stone
Fight against the tide
The blood begins to flow
Hold on, through the storm could take your life
Be strong and you will survive
ÖPPNA DIN DÖRR
Den första gången jag såg på dig
Och kände hur du såg på mig
Då föll allting jag trott var sant
Jag vet du kände likadant
Du var så vacker då som nåt jag aldrig kunnat nå
Och hjärtat slog ett slag för var förlorad dag
Jag gömde mig i fantasin
Så rädd för vad du kunde bli
Men var gång som jag ljög för mig
Så såg jag sanningen i dig
Nu står du här idag med allt jag någonsin velat ha
Och hjärtat slår ett slag för var förlorad dag
Öppna din dörr och säg att du vill ha mig här
Säg att du inom dig bär bara kärlekens röst
Och jag ska öppna min dörr och ge dig varje dag igen
Leva här för sanningen
Låt mig bli den som först öppnar din dörr
Så börjar livet här till slut
Vi gråter det som var förut
Så somnar vi så tätt ihop
Att dagen vaknar allt för fort
För den himmel som jag nått och för allt det som jag nu förstått
Ska hjärtat slå ett slag för var förlorad dag
Öppna din dörr...
Ge av dig det du vill ha av mig
Och säg att jag får alla förlorade år
Jag ska öppna min dörr och ge dig varje dag igen
Leva här för sanningen
Låt mig bli den som först öppnar din dörr
STAND UP AND FIGHT
When you dream about the past
Seems like it wasn't long ago
But the dream has gone and words just tell the tale
Life is short and maybe we can get another chance
To make up all we missed out yesterday
We're standing at the crossroads where we need to decide
Which way we should be moving on tomorrow
We never know what's right or wrong 'cause nothing lights the way
But the flame is burning on and on again
Stand and fight- for dreams of our lives
Say it loud- we're never falling down
For the light- we pray with all our hearts
See the stars- that fall down from the sky
Soon we'll know if we are done or still we feel the pain
But the flame is burning on and on again
When you feel you're in the dark and there's just no more time to pray
You realize it's just your circumstance
If there's a sign of hope in sight across the seven seas
It's hard to fight while drowning in your tears
One wrong step ahead and a voice from hell calls your name
To show you it can change your destiny
We still don't know what's right or wrong 'cause nothing lights the way
But the flame's still burning on and on again
EMIR HOT
SHINING STAR
What is the taste of rain in may
What is the name of the god you pray
Where is the end of the road that I'm on
Can you tell me if there'll be a new dawn
A thousand questions
Will you answer me
God if I only could make you see
You're my shining star
That I will hold forever
Weather near or far
I'll be there 'til the end of time
Cause you brighten up my day
And the love that we share
Is here to stay
Well I can see the light
It shines right thru the night
But it's all so far away
Will you stand another thousand years
And can you dry all my painful tears
Will the stars still shine for you and me
And will there be a world where we can be free
My love will take you
Far beyond the sky
God if you'd only give us a try
You're my shining star
That I will hold forever
Weather near or far
I'll be there 'til the end of time
Cause you brighten up my day
And the love that we share
Is here to stay
A thousand questions
Will you answer me
God if I only could make you see
My love will take you
Far beyond the sky
God if you'd only give us a try
