UNSPOKEN WORDS
05:51

Let all unspoken words
Say what must be said…
If I tried to speak now
It would brak the spell
I lean my tired wishes
against a silent prayer
And beg for mercy for our love
with all I cannot say
Woman beside me
I don’t want to go clear !
Lady of this fire
- come to me !
Dare you hold this moment
up against the light..?
or do you fear the darkness
if you brought it to such hights…
We’re both of us so frightened
- where would be the sence..?
I’ll take you trough my mirrors
if you let me pass your defence
Woman beside me
I don’t want to go clear !
Lady of this fire
- come to me !

STRANGE SONG

Strange song
This very old moon
I’ve heard so much about
It can make your heart sing
or bring it out of tune
I like the night
when the claims of dday are out of sight
cause who can stand all this sunshine
with this Norway everywhere
I sit and watch your children play
Lazy laidback
with a song in my head
Close to you and your caress
This tired old earth
allways so carelessly misused
Will she take the strain..?
She seem near to burst
I like the rain
it makes me feel strong and clean again
But who can live with this feeling
When the hard rain starts to fall…
I sit and watch your children play
Lazy laidback
with a song in my head
Close to you and your caress
This rather strange song
I dedicate to you
It makes me feel sad
but kind of happy too
Cause I like the blues
and some rock’n roll out of tune
I wish you could see truth my nightmare
into the whiter parts of me

THE UNDERTOW

The Undertow
Found in a cheap hotel
the room stained with blood
29 years of age
now he is gone
rezorblade cut the nerves
strangling his soul
- killed by his Undertow..
Smell of a rotten corps
food for the rats
Only a local whore
remembered the cad
Police took their photographs
some word in a book
- killed by his Undertow…
Weakness is hard to bear
Living’s a fight
Noone will ever care
A loneley man’s cry
Hearts under dope-control
scattered and stoned
Watch out for your Undertow…
Wrecked dreams
on death-parade
Cover our tracks
Hearts hid in ace-of-spades
There’s no going back
Peaceful and current life
Won’t save your soul - !
Watch out for
The Undertow - !

THE ISLE

The Isle
I could hear the thunder
I could feel the pain
But I could hear my heart beat
I could feel again !
I waved goodbye to future
with the tast of past
Standing by the moment
I was there at last !
You called me from your island
and I crossed the bridge
you burt it behind me
you said:-now it’s too weak
for crossing
anyway
And the four blowing winds
The sky and the sea
embrace the isle…
Total isolation
the third eye looking out
The tired gauntlet runner
running towards the doubt
Searching for an answer
Searching for a crack
but the truth is so strong
and there’s no going back
for desire…
You called me from your island
and I crossed the bridge
you burt it behind me
you said:-now it’s too weak
for crossing
anyway
And the four blowing winds
The sky and the sea
embrace the isle…

MEMORY No. 1

Memory no. 1
At the end of the line
I packed all my “why”-s
in a sack
meant for a leave
I really liked it, babe
the atmosphere around you
In spite of our faith
the memories of the days
with you
has the sweetest taste
I often lok back
on the moments we had
and think of you…
Sometimes it feels
you are with me
everywhere I go
as a part of all
the things I love
In heartly laughter
You’re so close -!
I’m stumbling around
the peace I have found
is a deal with the devil
I don’t like it here
the atmosphere
frightens me !
People’s polite
but the looks in their eyes -!
Cold as eternal ice !
A stranger’s face
is something they hate
down here - !
Yesterday morning
I thought I saw you
walking down the street
with your daughter Marie
but I was wrong indeed
this child and mother
wasn’t half as sweet
When I’m fifty years old
and knock on your door
will my stocks
still hold the price…?
I really hope they will
and that I still desire you…!
And what about you ?
Are you sad, are you blue ?
Is your man treating you right ?
Don’t show this letter to him
it’s a secret between
you and me…
Sometimes the yellow moon
reminds me of the nights we had
And my rooster crows
in thought of your wows
I may forget
but I don’t know how -!
YOU, my memory no. 1 !

MADNESS REVISITED

Madness Revisited
I have a secret place
for the key to my heart
Just to prevent it from falling apart
my ears cannot longer pass
all your “buts”
All these roads
with all these bends
all these people but
not a friend in sight
- if I made my self clear
I would end up in a fight
What are all these people
running around for ?
If not for a ticket to the third world war...
The papers can tell
about the so called truth
But never mentioned
what happened to you
Maybe it does’nt matter much
What the hell !
All the questions have just disappeared
and the only answer is
not to be aware
The loss of the track
That even could lead us back
Fantastic nights
that cries for a gun
With a carrot you can make
the rabbit run
I must admit that a saviour
is out of sight - !
I may get locked up
and brought to silence soon
because my cry has become
a cry to the moon
I can make myself clear
but that does’nt remove
my fear - !

You Say...
For how long must I wait for you !
With hope and patience steadily
increasing
Soon disappearing - !
I once put all my faith in you
but now I feel the time is due
For parting !
I was talking to you on the phone
I thought: there’s something wrong
there’s something under cover
Something sour…
For chrissake, tell the truth !
This feeling insecure
Takes all my power
You say you want to be free - !
But in that Norwegian Dream
where you are living
You’ll end up emptyhanded
to late to understand it
What it really means to be free -!
Here’s the weather fine
my job’s all right
The income is high enough
to manage
And I manage !
But this feeling dobbel-crossed
the returning of that
wellknown ghost
- haunting me !
You play it cool with no regrets
people’s just some pets for you
to play with
-And you like it !
The freedom that you cling to, babe
Isn’t worth a dime the day
your’re all alone..!

PapaFahr Trondheim, Norway
He lives by a bootleg philosofy, where atmosphere and soul connection in studio and stage is more important than perfection and equilibrity. Playing on routing and making albums to perfection, where poetry smooth in with overrehearsed cords, is not only a vast of money, but also a vaste of mind. ... more
