Falconer
Album • 2020
Spinning round and around Caught in a trap In a lazy, mundane life Where the master's the slave Striving on through the dark And into the light Each day that passes by Lost in the void of the night Take command and rise from slumber Our time must not waste away We're the rulers of our destinies We're the kings and queens of our day Take command and rise from slumber Our time must not waste away We're the rulers of our destinies We're the kings and queens of our day Even the simplest of goals And the simplest of days Can be reached in a manner That enlightens the way Don't let the wheel of life Turn off your mind But grasp hold of your fate And leave old pathways behind Take command and rise from slumber Our time must not waste away We're the rulers of our destinies We're the kings and queens of our day Take command and rise from slumber Our time must not waste away We're the rulers of our destinies We're the kings and queens of our day Take command and rise from slumber Our time must not waste away We're the rulers of our destinies We're the kings and queens of our day

Chased by the sun I'm running through the sand Ever burning up like a light I veer to the left I'm rushing to the right Losing my mind in the fight I cannot hide from my own mind Cannot escape it alone Is giving up the answer? Face the fear grow stronger by the scars I rest my weary head as I close my eyes to sleep Yet the demons once again come around The more I try to fight The more I will lose I am lost in desert dreams By the vultures to be found Find the mirage To occuppy the mind Only to be fooled again The hunter is there They never give in My sanity the prey of the day I cannot hide from my own mind Cannot escape it alone Is giving up the answer? Face the fear grow stronger by the scars I rest my weary head as I close my eyes to sleep Yet the demons once again come around The more I try to fight The more I will lose I am lost in desert dreams By the vultures to be found I rest my weary head as I close my eyes to sleep Yet the demons once again come around The more I try to fight The more I will lose I am lost in desert dreams By the vultures to be found I rest my weary head as I close my eyes to sleep Yet the demons once again come around The more I try to fight The more I will lose I am lost in desert dreams By the vultures to be found

Trapped in a travesty of jokers at the lead Soundtrack to this comedy of lament for those who read Honor flanked intellect and fell into the well Like a child’s reasoning would open the gates of hell The scepter is stolen by a jester in the king’s court Beware of his temper, beware of his pride Wise men bang their heads against the wall Heed the sinister call Clowns have the word Fools have the day Meanings are blurred As sense flies away Let’s sing the anthem of mental eclipse As the children play chess with the world Hearken the choirs, redeem and repent The winds of doom sweep across these pleasant lands With a sound of prophecy of darker times at hand Heedful enlightened rule slips into the void Out from the shadows steps a cranky boy The scepter is stolen by a jester in the king’s court Beware of his temper, beware of his pride Wise men bang their heads against the wall Heed the sinister call Clowns have the word Fools have the day Meanings are blurred As sense flies away Let’s sing the anthem of mental eclipse As the children play chess with the world Hearken the choirs, redeem and repent (X3)

Månen sänker sitt karga sken Över sumpmark som slumra Nattens spegel kall och len I mörkret blänka och skimra Genom skogen går de själar än Som vila i bland sump och dy Likt stoder mot dyster sky Mången ensliger tuva Under mossens gungfly Svunna offer de ruva Genom skogen går de själar än Som vila i bland sump och dy Himlens rodnad sen länge flydd Likt de offer nu glömda Vars gravar i vassens skydd Ligga ryngda och dömda Genom skogen går de själar än Som vila i bland sump och dy Än stå mossen i sorgens skrud Mellan granar och tallar Jämte månen ljusets brud När gryningstimman nu kallar Genom skogen går de själar än Som vila i bland sump och dy

See the fool that dances on his grave To the sound of the burial march Dance for the hunger Dance for the thirst Quell them both with doom See the fool prancing into his grave Play minstrel play A song in minor key Sing it to the crowd And for the kings to be Lost are the traces of yesterday’s gods On the day when he claimed their place Lost is the reverence, lost in the awe For the land, for the sea, for the sky. Into the dark, a proud parade is marching on Under the sign of enlightenment A fool’s crusade (X2) Play minstrel play On fiddle and on flute In the light of fire In this cold night Lost are the shelters of yesterday’s world On the day when we sold it out Lost is the reverence, lost in the awe For the land, for the sea, for the sky. Caressed by the sweet sunlight Tumorous skin needs tanning Swim in toxic rivers Hail the countryside Feel the wind in your hair Feel the stench in your nostrils Numb your consciousness with pleasure Hail the country died Crush the dream and wake up, ignorant one! Kill the fool, kill him now! The end has begun Play minstrel play For the fall of man Celebrate his name And his master plan Lost are the pillars on which he once ruled On the day when he blames himself Lost is the reverence, lost in the awe For the land, for the sea, for the sky. Into the dark, a proud parade is marching on Under the sign of enlightenment A fool’s crusade (X2)

This track is instrumental.
Proudly he stands To fatherly posture they yield Goodwill gone sour Like golden fallacy Eat from his hand Beware of the claws concealed In quest for power With manners gallantly Hearken and behold Deceit unfolds Before your very eyes Travesty dies Stature he seeks By claiming the crown with a lie Confidence bleeds Honesty comes undone Climbs on the weak to build himself up to the sky Grandeur and greed Goes hand in hand as one Hearken and behold Deceit unfolds Before your very eyes Travesty dies Hoist the flag Higher and higher You boast and you brag In regal attire (X2) Hoist the flag Higher and higher You boast and you brag In regal attire (X4)

As the shadows they linger throughout the days With no sun to break through the clouds See the loss as a token of value and grace Though my heart’s in a shroud Rejoice the adorned with a tear and a sigh Love is eternal, eternal love never dies Rejoice the adorned and smile in the rain Relive the memories, cherish the pain In the night I wander a lonely trail With the weary soul of mine I will never let your memory set sail May it forever shine Rejoice the adorned with a tear and a sigh Love is eternal, eternal love never dies Rejoice the adorned and smile in the rain Relive the memories, cherish the pain With the tide of tomorrow It might all fade and soon waste away Far…far… far from sorrow Rejoice the adorned with a tear and a sigh Love is eternal, eternal love never dies Rejoice the adorned and smile in the rain Relive the memories, cherish the pain Love is eternal, eternal love never dies Rejoice the adorned and smile in the rain Relive the memories, cherish the pain

Don’t speak your mind But pick your words with caution Chain up your tongue Don’t ever speak from your heart Who could be hurt? Who could be judging what you say? Where can it lead? Think twice before you proceed Supervised Analyzed Hide from the eyes To the ones above And to the ones below To the gathered crowds I must justify Justify my dos And justify my don’ts To my name and honor I must testify Don’t lose your hold On your true emotions You bite your tongue And think of what you stand for Behind your back Potential judges and usurpers Inside your mind The aggravation grinds Supervised Analyzed Hide from the eyes To the ones above And to the ones below To the gathered crowds I must justify Justify my dos And justify my don’ts To my name and honor I must testify Do you know what you say? Do you know what they hear? Read your opponents And mold yourself into a valueless man Serve all your statements Upon an impartial tray of ice Then you close the door and you scream To the ones above And to the ones below To the gathered crowds I must justify Justify my dos And justify my don’ts To my name and honor I must testify (X3)

I thought I now had come to die Just a cold corpse, my farewell Until I suddenly gasped for air And the tears so softly fell If not, fate thinks more of me Than chiming the bells at noon Grasp the handle by all means And thrust the dagger deep Call it revelation or curse Should I tremble or should I cheer? The shadows dancing across the walls A mockery ever so clear If it’s written that under the sun It’s time for me to sleep Grasp the handle by all means And thrust the dagger deep When the final dawn is here, Silent and oh so steep Grasp the handle by all means And thrust the dagger deep

Hail the welkin’s evening gown And the diamonds up high I write my ode full of awe Under turning night skies See the touch of the divine On the canvas sublime See the stars meet their end As the new day ascends Into the bower of bosky vaults Upon the misty pathway To be draped by the moon And by its gloomy veil I hear a solemn serenade All my demons away! Drink the wine of the dark And feel the light of the day Upon the shoulders of mountain high Upon the boulders of grey Covered by autumn clouds As the sights fade away Behold a silent majesty Standing lonely and proud In its marvel and its might In its misty shroud Winds and storms, lakes rivers and seas Sun and sky, land, forests and heaths Mark well what is said here As I’m filled with rapture I sail on raging waves Onto a distant shore Cross the vast seven seas I feel peace in the storms Fear the darkness of the deep Ever present the void As alone as one can be I feel nothing but joy.
