Leaves' Eyes

Norwegian Lovesong

I grew up by the sea
I played under the sun
Come to me come into my dreams
This is my light of life

Between the bluebells
Sits a girl with blond braids
A blue-eyed angel
With strawberry cheeks
The spell has bound me
I was living a dream
Norwegian homeland
My heart belongs to you

I climbed mountains so high
I discovered the deep
Long to be long, long to be part of this dream
This is where my heart beats

Tale Of The Sea Maid

Fantasies in my head
I drift away to all seas
Deep underneath the ocean
I heard the tale of the sea maid

All this beauty
It lights up my life
I ride the waves
To far-off seas
And I lay on the golden sand
I reflect the sun
I make you dream

I glow with the silver light
Thousand-and-one stars bright
This labyrinth of life
Takes me to your home shore

Ocean's Way

The way of the ocean
Touch my heart like fire
I cannot control you
You have deeper layers

You're alive and you're wild
When you're nearer to me
I lean forward to touch you
But you surprised me

When I lean against you
I will only fall through
Sometimes you seem to sleep
Then a storm's coming through
Fear the ocean's way

Ah should I fear you
Are you caught in anger
Gods cannot control you
Winds make you go higher

If I swim to the ground
I will need to go up
You will turn me around
When the storm's coming through

When the morning dawns bright
I admire the silvery-
ness inside you
I look into this mirror

Ocean's way

The way of the ocean
It's the waves rurled by the winds

Lovelorn

You are a wandering shining star
You light up the sky, you take me so far (take me far)
One crystal inside my lonely heart
You light up my life, I embrace your light (you're my light)

[Chorus:]
You're my healer
I am lovelorn
In the cool breeze I hear your sweet voice
I'm your treasure
I am forlorn
In the rain I feel your warm tears

I can't forgive God and myself
I should have been there to give you strength (be your strength)
One kingdom below the dark blue sea
Hides my lovely Amelie (I love you Amelie)

[Chorus]

Lovelorn you are gone, lovelorn
Where is your home now
Now you are gone, lovelorn

The Dream

Where do you sleep
What do you dream
What do you need
To be free

I see a little island
Where ebb and flow meet
We curl up by the fire
Your breath in my ear
We've found our paradise
Where fruits and flowers grow
The ocean's ground is white
Reflects the moonlight that glows

I cover you warm
Fall asleep upon my chest
I protect you from harm
And I will quench your thirst

When do we meet
Our love proceeds
When you are here
I am real too
Ah ah

You're my queen
You're my angel
You're the love I breathe to live

You're my star
You're my leading light
You're the beauty I see at night

You're my queen
You're my angel
You're the dream I breathe to live

Where do you sleep
What do you dream

Secret

I opened my eyes
And greeted the new day
I follow your path way
To the secret of my pains

Can you free me
From these unsafe grounds
Secret tell me where did she drown

I'm moving away
But captured in your chains
I saw you in those waves
Those eyes, such pain

My heart knows
My mind knows
I am torn
My mind knows
When you're gone
I'm forelorn

For Amelie

Why don't you feel me
Why can't I hold your hand
(You) never said that you'd leave me
and I know you are somewhere

I held you up
Every time you were down
Your crying stopped
When I was around...but...

Why don't you love me?
Enough to stay with me
Now tell me truly
Was it there in your heart too?
All that I'm left with
Is a dream of me and you

You filled my soul
With your beauty and with hope
We're different although
We were just like water in sand

Why don't you feel me
Why cant I hold your hand
You never said that you'd leave me
And I know you are somewhere

I held you close
When you fell to the ground
And now you've torn all my hope apart
You could have said good-bye

Temptation

In my head
I hear your voice
Is this the voice of my master

In my chest
I sense a spear
Are these the looks of my mistress

In my head
I hear your voice
Why do I suffer

In my chest I sense a spear
Why cant I see you

Have I become a bounden slave
Shall I be lost in your spell

What do I fear
Is this a dream

My bitter spirit
Has become a burden

Lady fair
Mistress of my dreams (temptation)
Let us share
Body, soul and sorrows

I rise and walk
Into the waves
Will you save me

You interrupt
My intellect
You take what you demand

Into Your Light

I've heard your song
And I've seen the light
In your eyes and it
Took me so long to see
Straight through the night
And through you ah

You're the depths of my own mind
And you're the heights of my creation
Wait for me, wait for me

Alone but strong when you're in my sight
Your love hit me like a stroke
Take me with you
Take me with you

Take me to that place ah
Where I feel so safe ah
Into your light I dive

I've taken this step
And we're intimate now and I am
I am joining your world
A formation of love and you shine
Through me

Into your light
Enter my mind

Mermaid medium of light
For the morning that comes
For the orchid that grows
Love me against all odds
You defeated the doubt
That was stuck inside me

Into your light I dive

Return To Life

Inside I feel life (aaah...)
I rise into your light (aaah...)

I rise and leave the dream behind
I'm returning to life
Returning to life (ooh...)
By the sound of your voice
And the love that you give

I see - I have found
How deep my roots have grown
I rise and leave the dream behind

Your arms open
I'm devoted
In sunshine and shadow
You love and protect me

I'm returning to life
I am back in your arms
Mother you give me hope
When I'm cold and alone

Into Your Light

I've heard your song
And I've seen the light
In your eyes and it
Took me so long to see
Straight through the night
And through you ah

You're the depths of my own mind
And you're the heights of my creation
Wait for me, wait for me

Alone but strong when you're in my sight
Your love hit me like a stroke
Take me with you
Take me with you

Take me to that place ah
Where I feel so safe aaah
Into your light I dive

I've taken this step
And we're intimate now and I am
I am joining your world
A formation of love and you shine
Through me

You're the depths of my own mind
And you're the heights of my creation
Wait for me, wait for me

Alone but strong when you're in my sight
Your love hit me like a stroke
Take me with you
Take me with you

Take me to that place ah
Where I feel so safe aaah
Into your light I dive

Into your light
Enter my mind

Mermaid medium of light
For the morning that comes
For the orchid that grows
Love me against all odds
You defeated the doubt
That was stuck inside me

Take me to that place ah
Where I feel so safe aaah
Into your light I dive

Into your light I dive

Take me to that place ah
Where I feel so safe aaah
Into your light I dive

Leave's Whisper

Tell me now haven't you heard the leaves whisper?
Secrets of heaven and earth and of thousand springs

Follow the wind and the storm at their command
Sigh, hear the sigh of the waves and the grass shiver

Haven't you heard
Mmm, what the leaves whisper?

We've been seeking the truth
The ancient songs of man

Tell me why haven't you felt the rain dripping?
Falling from heaven on earth and makes life flow

Watching the growing of grass and lakes smiling
Witness the noon of the night and skies dwelling

Mmm, tell me, haven't you heard
Mmm, what the leaves whisper now?
Mmm, haven't you heard
Mmm, we are seeking the truth

Who calls on you now?
Who calls on you now?
Haven't you heard
Mmm, what the leaves whisper?

We've been seeking the truth
The ancient songs of man
Haven't you heard
Mmm, what the leaves whisper?

We've been seeking the truth the ancient songs of man

Vinland Saga

1000 years ago a Viking ship
Left Norway in the spring

Tiden er kommet
Tiden vil vise
The saga of Vinland
A saga of Norsemen

The new world they found they called Vinland
The Land of Wine

Stormen forte skipet
Vestover mot ukjent land

Farewell Proud Men

Look above into the misty air
I hear the waves reminding me of fear
I'm not alone but I am still confused
Will you return and will your dreams come true?

Across the sea into shallow water
Long ships' sails and sweeping oars
To walk the shore of a new land
To serve the shores of golden sand
Across the sea into shallow water
Long ships' sails and sweeping oars
To walk the shore of a new land
To serve the shores of golden sand

Farewell proud men
Spirits will guide you
May they save you
Farewell proud men

Frightening ocean sacred as the wind
I beg you please be careful with these men
At night I dream of wonders and of change
Will I receive a message from you then?

Far way from our own home
Show me a future
Open the palace door
And I will follow you

Elegy

Teardrop on a fragile eyelash
She's looking like a dream
Hoping for some understanding
And answer or at least
Cunning word a single sentence
To restore her heart
Aching since the day I left her
Crossing lonely seas

Silent tears of a woman
Make a warrior cry
Heaven, I beg you
Please release hopes from fears

This is my elegy
Do you know what I feel?
This is my elegy
Do you believe it's real?
Will I hold you in my arms again?

Dewdrops on a single rosebud
This purity of rain
Reminds me of the moment I left her
Kisses filled with pain
And if I should leave her waiting
For another year
Will she ever know the answer?
Will she follow me?

Silent tears of a woman
Make her warrior cry
Heaven, I beg you
Please release hopes from fears

This is my elegy
Do you know what I feel?
This is my elegy
Do you believe it's real?
Will I hold you in my arms..
Hold you in my arms again?

Cunning word, a single sentence
To restore her heart
Aching since the day I left her
Crossing lonely seas

Solemn Sea

Seil den sterke sj�
Solen har g�tt ned
I det vide havet
I det m�rke dypet
Hviler en dr�m
Om et ukjent land
[English translation:]
Sail the strong lake
The sun has gone down
In the wide sea
In the dark depth
Rests a dream
About an unknown land/country

The music of your heartbeat brightens me

Turn my fears into hope
Oceans of blue

Darkening sky the shadows fall
Foaming waves shatter us
I cry aloud to the sky
Solemn sea save me

Solemn sea save me

Watch and wait for the next
Attacking waves, ice cold rain
The black mirror of the sea
Watching me, save me

The humming of the waves frightens me

Turn my fears into hope
Oceans of blue

A thunder storm roars at me
My body shakes in the rain
Lightening rays spearing me
A thousand spears haunting me

Leaves' Eyes

Summer goes
Winter comes
Leaves fall on frozen grounds
True love lasts forever
I imagine you in a thousand glimpses
Moonlight you keep me safe at night
And I know you're here if I fall

Seasons change
Spirits wake up
Birds fly away to far-away homes
True love lasts forever
I imagine you in a thousand glimpses

Moonlight you keep me safe at night
And I know you're here if I fall
Starlight show me the way in the dark
And I know you're here when I call

Leaves' Eyes

Children grow up
Parents grow old
Man's wives become mothers to sons
Sunna hides
Mani glows
Stars are watching over us

The Thorn

I hope that he will be safe
Hopefully return in April
I've heard the winds speak of a fight
And it hit my heart like a thorn

Whispering voice appear
I can't escape what I feel
All I can see
All I believe in
Is connected to our kindred souls

I feel the thorn in my/your flesh
The pounding of blood in my/your head
I/you cry aloud
I/you cry of anger
My/your enemy will never forget me/you

I heard you calling my name
I saw your colourless face
Fire in your eyes
Where do you go to?
I dreamt of an enemy threatening you

Hold me
Breathe with me
Until the end of time

Misseri (Turn Green Meadows Into Grey)

Morning awakes
Night is drifting away
Winter's approaching
Time to go or stay
I see migrants travelling
To a far-away world
Reflected in black waters and you

Turn green meadows into grey
Can you feel the winter waiting?
Ice-cold rivers turn to blue
Can you see the jewel shining?

Fire burning in my eyes
It warms my hands when I'm alone
There's no one here to hold me tight
Rain patters against my window
Or is he knocking at the door?
Memories are growing stronger and you

Golden leaves under my shoes
Gathering birds in the sky
May I go with them
Let me fly to you
Let me fly to you
And be safe

New Found Land

Beyond the boundaries of the known world
Where are the mountains and where are the fjords?
Hundreds of miles off course, we are lost
Clear skies return as we witness the shore

We sail the sea
We fight the storm
One hundred men caught by endless passion
Adventure Norse Men
A hunting eye
One hundred men on a holy mission

My arms are tired and my feet are cold
Hoping for shelter I'm hungry for food
My eyes see fire, a gift from the gods
What will we find at the end of the world?

We have found new land

We set sail for Greenland
As we crossed the oceans
Awaiting the Mirdgard serpent
We finally found a new world

We have found new land
I see New Found Land

Mourning Tree

So far away
But still so close
So many days
I've had to count
The meaning of life
Comes true when I'm with you
For in me there's a flower growing

Tell him through the winds I am here
Whisper through the breeze not to fear
Taste it by the rain what I feel when you hold me
Reach out for the winds that we share
Then you will feel I am near
Taste it by the snow, I am here where you left me

I told to the mourning tree

The long way home
Is never too far
Unless you've reached the end of life
My deepest wish
Comes true when I'm with you
For in me there's a miracle growing

Twilight Sun

Spring is calling
Time to leave
The winds have told me
She's waiting for me

Hear the tune
Of northern winds

Twilight sun
Will soon be gone
Guide me twilight sun
I will follow you home

Earth is awakening
The grass is green
The rivers sing
She's calling for me

Shivering leaves
Songs of home

For you
I will return

If you don't return I will leave a message
For you carved in stone

Ankomst

I glitrende solskinn
Et landskap som v�kner
Vi seiler inn mot havnen

Hjem til deg i dine armer
En historie � fortelle

Ankomst ankomst gi meg havn
Ankomst ankomst �pne din favn

La dine sorger hvile i havet
Et sted mellom nord og s�r

Vinden synger de evige toner
En sage � fortelle

[English translation:]

Arrival

In the sparkling sun
A landscape waking up were sailing in towards the harbour [port]
Home to you in your arms
A story to tell

Arrival, arrival give me a harbour [port]
Arrival, arrival open your arms

Let your sorrows rest at sea
Somewhere between north and south

The wind sings the eternal notes
A saga to tell

Elegy (Single Version)

Teardrop on a fragile eyelash
She's looking like a dream
Hoping for some understanding
An answer or at least
A calming word, a single sentence
To restore her heart
Aching since the day I left her
Crossing lonely seas

Silent tears of a woman
Make a warrior cry
Heaven, I beg you
Please release hopes from fears

This is my elegy

Senses Capture

Shadows in my room staring at me
Half open eyes not daring to see
My mouth is sealed, not able to speak
This ray of moonlight glancing through me

Do I believe in wonders? Do I believe in dreams?
Have I been touched by spirits, finding me when I'm asleep
The melody of mermaids keeps me awake at night
The eyes of starlit heavens following me secretly

Senses capture, my senses capture me
The melody of mermaids keeps me awake at night
The eyes of starlit heavens following me secretly

Shadows on the wall moving towards me
Wide open windows closing by the wind
My palms are wet, not able to move
The sound of voices humming in my ear

Do I believe in wonders? Do I believe in dreams?
Have I been touched by spirits, finding me when I'm asleep
The melody of mermaids keeps me awake at night
The eyes of starlit heavens following me secretly

Senses capture, my senses capture me
The melody of mermaids keeps me awake at night
The eyes of starlit heavens following me secretly

My senses capture me, my eyes fail to see
I smell the winter come and go, I hear the migrants leave
Emotions capture me, my mind stops to feel
My lips move without sense, I feel the words are on your way
