The ballad of Hope and Sorrow

Long ago and far away
there was a land called Umernay
where the wild was free and nature green
They knew nothing of Sorrow

The people followed a mighty queen
her name was Hope, only peace she singed
life was well and stories sung
No one knew of Sorrow

Then there came that faithful night
out came a knight that thought not of light
his heart was cold and eyes of ice
In his wake was Sorrow

All could see his greyish fate
with him followed a heavy weight
children cried at this dreadful sight
They only thought of Sorrow

The queen now gathered her courage guard
and rode to stop the chased one
to claim back what her name involved
And bring an end to Sorrow

They searched up high, they searched down low
to find whom no one wanted for
but nowhere they this creature saw
Yet everywhere was Sorrow

Hope found him when she was alone
he stared right into her shining soul
slight a tremble she would not show
As she faced his Sorrow

She asked whom do you really think you are
to plague these lands with your hurtful scars
you light our fear and dim the sun
You bring nothing but Sorrow

He said I come from a blooming home
with troves of love and dreams of gold
yet all was lost only pain prolonged
And now my name is Sorrow

Hope believed his story true
saw his face in a light anew
her heart was racing feelings grew
For the one named Sorrow

First he flinched from her reaching hand
wanting fully to feel again
afraid he was of moving on
For all he knew was Sorrow

 Carefully they start to dance
turning slowly with humble hands
caringly they make amends
Forever Hope and Sorrow

The captain of her royal guard
saw them close but from afar
he threw his spear to avoid her harmed
And put an end to Sorrow

His life ran out in her loving arms
she cried out all the pain it brought
her eyes turned ice and her heart turned cold

And now her name is Sorrow

Shine

A sparrow flew high, over the trees. So the Sun should shine upon me Golden rays for all to see. As the Sun still shines down on me Wherever you are I hope you are free, no regrets to tie down your dreams. Near or far, forever between. As the sun still shines down on me. A wind came in, gently it streamed, between the stones that lay here serene. My tears might reach you resting beneath. As the Sun still shines down on me. By your name, flowers wither in glee, like my heart that beats without need. Your smile and your laugh in memories be. As the sun still shines down on me.

Madness

The moon is dark, it has turned it’s back on me Demons are lurking in the outskirts of my mind My head is pounding, the ace is drowning time But in the darkness there is a warming light Your face is beautiful, your light is hurting I want you close but I can’t take the pain It is driving me crazy, it is driving me insane I need to get stronger, I need to stop the game I am crazy, but your memory remains At night when demons are near I think of you and they disappear Your light hurt both me and them Does that mean it’s a demon inside of me If you where too come visit I would not know My world is dark and unknown Nothing like what I feel in your arms I remember your lips so soft and sweet Or are you just a dream I hope for I can’t remember when I sold my soul I can’t remember why I think of you But I will try to find a way out So I can see for my very own eyes If you are real or another demon of mine

Livets fall

Jag faller än, faller igen, faller. Faller för dig, faller för frestelsen, snubblar, blir kastad omkull, faller. Faller av tyngden, faller igenom För ingenting finns där inunder. Strävar efter någonting att hålla mig fast allt jag får i min hand smulas i en hast Det tillfälliga tyget brast under tyngden av tårar berget i sikte var blott en illusion Vinden brusar i havets långa ton Trösten varade den korta stund du log Ögat ser ned i avgrundens djup, smärtan ekar i vågorna sju. Kroppen kraftigt mot väggarna slår, det finns inte längre någon del utan sår. Påtvingad tystnad ryter där ilskan har makt, tröttheten lockar själen att lämna sin plats. Händer som älskar försöker hålla mig fast, halkar på missmod som läckt från min famn. Fallet är välbekant, det enda jag nu minns. Kanske är det inte värt att hålla fast vid någonting. Med inget att förlora sjunger kylan i varje ben, isande taggar i varje ven. Med ansiktet vänt nedåt faller...
