RASPAIL

Abrakt
(Peter Bjärgö text)
We gazed at the sun one last time
As ashes fell down to earth
Could we have seen all the signs?
Or did we just close our eyes

We watched the start just one last time
As our bodies fell to the ground
Could we have done more or were we committed
Limited by greed

Well, now it’s too late for our sons and daughters
Can we look upon ourselves with pride?
Now it’s too late for the earth to recover
Our guilt we can no longer hide

Invisible Motions
(Ia Bjärgö text)
A black nothingness spreads out before me
Even though the pale moon shine
Impressed by the structure of invisible motions
Nature’s own design

A black emptiness surrounds me
Even though the crimson sky shimmer
The knowledge of the void ahead
The anger, the pain, the wrath

A black loneliness has filled me
Even though my heart is seized
By the remnants of a long lost life
With the blackness I am pleased

The anxiousness, the anguish
Knowing this is an illusion
The fear I feel, the anger
That this is it, the end

Outside your world
(Peter Bjärgö text)
I can feel your presence as real as anything else
I’ve been longing for you ever since you faded away

It’s that knowledge of you that makes me continue
Otherwise my soul would just fade away

I’m almost outside your world
Beholding what’s been gone for so long

Autumnal
(Ann-Mari Thim text)
Absent presence
Embraced by silence
Altering tints
Bringing belief

Alarming coil
Wakes wintering will
Wistful thoughts
Autumnal within

Closing season
Adorned with reflection
Tempting solitude
Attempted escape

Out of the Gray Ashes
(Peter Bjärgö text)
When all the fires and storms have faded
Out of the Gray ashes a seed will grow

When all the earthquakes have stopped
And the last bomb has been dropped
When the last man fall dead to the ground

Out of the Gray ashes a seed will grow
Out of the Gray ashes a seed will grow

Lost in Time
(Ia Bjärgö text)
One look from you
I turn my back against the past
Your hand on my cheek
The presence of your soul I feel
A caress from you
I see the future bright and clear
A word of love in my ear

I am lost in time
As the wind strokes my hair
A shiver in my skin
Your face in front of me
Forever you are my Beloved

A smile on your lips
I feel a tear in my eye
Your hand seeks mine
I feel your warm embrace
Your arms around me
I close my eyes and hear your heart
A word of faith in my ear
I am lost in your soul

As the wind strokes my hair
A shiver in my skin
Your face in front of me
Forever you are my Beloved

Circumspection
(Stefan Eriksson text)
As we walk upon the shallow ground
We face the mistakes we all have made
Tears of remorse
Silence… Anxious…
As we say goodbye, we fade away
