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

Here I am waiting for the final scene
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

ROYAL HUNT - CLOWN IN THE MIRROR

Our circus closed
And the midnight ghost
Coming out as lights go down

Old and tired clown
No one is around
Staring at the mirror

Listen on
The show must go on
Lived in the crowd but dyin' all alone

Clown in the mirror — glitter and scars
Here's pleasure and pain look as one
Clown in the mirror — touchin' the stars
He's flyin' his dream to the sun

What a mask can say?
Cry the night away
Askin' mirror — tell me how long?

Wrigglin' all those years
Through the laughter's tears
Don't believe in hearts of stone
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/r/royal_hunt/clown_in_the_mirror.html ]

Listen on
The show must go on
Lived in the crowd but dyin' all alone

Clown in the mirror — glitter and scars
Here's pleasure and pain look as one
Clown in the mirror — touchin' the stars
He's flyin' his dream to the sun

But the sun will rise
Evil took the prize
Something will remind you

Sign of disgrace
This paint on your face


The show must go on
Lived in the crowd but dyin' all alone

Clown in the mirror — glitter and scars
Here's pleasure and pain look as one, as one
Clown in the mirror — touchin' the stars
He's flyin' his dream to the sun

 

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

 

She never really had a chance
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
