Floating like a dream cloud above the lake
Drifting in and out of sight
Forty miles above us
Watching the Northern Lights
Watching the Northern Lights
Watching the Northern Lights
Watching the Northern Lights
In the true northern darkness
Far from the sleeping towns
We lay there in silence
Young and free, half asleep, spellbound
We were watching the Northern Lights
Watching the Northern Lights
Watching the Northern Lights
In my mind after all this time
The memory is still clear
All I find I leave behind
The song is my souvenir
Watching the Northern Lights
Watching the Northern Lights
Watching the Northern Lights

Destination outward bound
I turn to see the northern lights behind the wing
Horizons seem to beckon me
Learned how to cry too young, so now I live to sing
The northern lights are in my mind
They guide me back to you
Horizons seem to beckon me
Learned how to cry too young, so now I live to sing
You know it's hard away from you
Travelling roads and passing through
It's not for money and it's not for fame
I just can't explain, sometimes it's lonely
Marking the space between the days
Early hours pass away
I sing to you of northern lights
I sing for you of northern nights
Past or future, here or there
Shelter comes in words from you, so talk to me
I hear your voice, it comforts me
In morning dreams I take your hand, you walk with me
The northern lights are in my mind
They guide me back to you
Peace enfolds the still night air
Home again I look for you and find you there Desintation homeward now
Take the easy way, bring me down
Making the hard way now I see
Hard to be really free, I'm missing you near me
Marking the space between the days
Early hours pass away
I sing to you of northern lights
I sing for you of northern nights
Chorus:
The northern lights are in my mind
They guide me back to you
The northern nights are in my eyes
They guide me back to you
Repeat chorus twice
The northern lights are in my mind
They guide me back to you

Rain's falling down from the orizon
we're travelled all across the seas
the vast expanse of the ocean
(the) siren called under a plea
We're sailing in circles
almost blind
we are at the point of no return
The Nothern lights
keep on shining
over the ocean and the sea
Nothern lights
shine on forever
(the) guiding light for you and me
From far away we saw a rainbow
shimmering bright(ly) across the land
we called the rulers of Atlantis
leading us through the world's dead end
We're sailing in circles
almost blind
we are at the point of no return
The Nothern lights
keep on shining
over the ocean and the sea
Nothern lights
shine on forever
(the) guiding light for you and me
The Nothern lights
keep on shining
over the ocean and the sea
Nothern lights
shine on forever

[Madchild:]
You're advised to stand back, I attack at the crack of dawn
Beware the lash of the savage, a fact you act upon
As the weak seek shelter, this is something sacred
Poetry of wolves, dreaded on treaded acreage
Cause of I, who enjoys poisoning boys and girls minds
Just for the fun of it, runnin' with pain and punishment
Mad Child's astonishing, Battleaxe reconnaissence
I give you my word we won't sleep, I keep my promises
I'm a suspicious looking character, don't trust 'em
Cops wanna bust 'em, gettin' harassed by customs
Yo, cause I'm diamond studded and budded
Yeah we partially responsible for L.A. gettin' flooded
With the vinyl, finally we made it stick
Set a strong foundation, plus we laid it thick
Now pick a flock of your finest assassins
As we take you on the ride of your life, unsafely fastened
I can't seem to slow this thing down, it's too fast
See we dealin' with the future through the magic of the past
Super charged turbo ultra culture preservation
Unlock the vault, mind altering concentration
[Chorus:]
Wherever we cool out we ignite
Rhymes like we, come blastin' on site
We shine but we're much more than bright
Gettin' the world high off these northern lights
Gettin' the world high, then I shed some light
Gettin' the world high off these northern lights
Gettin' the world high, then I shed some light
Gettin' the world high off these northern lights
[Prevail:]
I'm approaching a time where bombin' is obsolete
Don't wait til there's a bullet in to post a police bulletin
I host a ricochet where it's discreet as chamber spray
That dance around, romance the siren sound
[Madchild:]
Not from a violent town, once lost but now found
Drinking clear creek water near the mountains that surround
Glacial scapes, streams of evergreens
The great northwest, beauty most have never seen
[Prevail:]
Centered on high are majestic ravines
Connected together, select and sevre
Unfortunate soldiers with bolder vendettas
Pullover [?] don't take in this weather
In a media beaten by my accord
The unfallen melancholy house that ushers out your vocal chord
[Chorus]
[Prevail:]
Impersonate an' I'll renovate Eh yo, rap like me could attack for free Disassemble when you hear the rebel Watch it all or you could watch it fall
Unify in the unit's eye, because once you're potent it becomes important Characterism is parallelism I've regurgitated like a murder rate
Burn with the phoenix up to the zenith Ostracized, not fossilized Persecution is the worst solution And this attempt is a main event
A cornucopia of verbal phobia State your name before you make your claim Lock my bases in homeostasis Mix my plasma with the global magma Test in pieces to RIP Your spinal column is losing volume Shift your focus, follow the neurosis Fly with the navigator, die with the avitor I create to devastate Observe and serve So you don't want it when I drop the gauntlet

Sunday night and it's half past nine
Sunday night and it's half past nine
Sunday night and it's half past nine
I'm leaving one more town behind
Mirrors are showing the day's last glow
Mirrors are showing the day's last glow
Mirrors are showing the day's last glow
As we're spit out into the jigsaw flow
Ahead where there should be the thickness of night
Stars are pinned on a shimmering curtain of light
Sky full of rippling cliffs and chasms
That shine like signs on the road to heaven...
I've been cut by the beauty of jagged mountains
And cut by the love that flows like a fountain from God.
So I carry these scars, precious and rare,

At the dawn...
The golden moon was shining bright
With the silvery eyes of death
They had seen me salute the flames in the sky
...Northern lights...
...Northern lights...
While you were asleep I was awake to be part of the dark
While you were asleep I was awake to find the truth I had sought for
...through all my life...
Taken by the North wind blow
Into the icy abyss of colours
As I fulfilled my true self
I know your world is not for me
I am not one of them...
Aurora Borealis -
A part of me still in the sky
In the light of the golden moon
In the light of the silvery eyes of the night
I wandered through fire through ice...
To the valley of the shadow of death
...Northern lights...
...Northern lights...
While you were asleep I was awake to be part of the dark
While you were asleep I was awake to find the truth I had sought for
...through all my life...
Aurora Borealis -

I love to see you free and dancing
You are my angel and my plaything
Your many ways have set my heart ablaze
It's you who puts my soul in ecstasy
You are my angel and my plaything
Your motion, I find so entrancing
Shall I stand next to your fire?
Smoke rings rise higher and higher
You are my angel and my plaything
If I'm your rose, you are my sun and rain
And the northern lights
Will shine again and again
If I'm your rose, you are my sun and rain
In the heat of the night, in the light of the day
As is given, can also be taken away
In the heat of the night, in the light of the day
I remove anything that can stand in our way
I'll be your rose that sets your heart ablaze
If I'm your rose, you are my sun and rain
And the northern lights
Will shine again and again
If I'm your rose, you are my sun and rain
And the northern lights
Will shine again and again

Destination outward bound
I turn to see the northern lights behind the wing
Horizons seem to beckon me
Learned how to cry too young, so now I live to sing
The northern lights are in my mind

Horizons seem to beckon me

You know it's hard away from you

[Chorus:]

The northern nights are in my eyes
They guide me back to you
[Chorus 2x]
The northern lights are in my mind

The Northern Lights took me off guard
knocked me over and lifted me up
and through the shadow of a meteor
I saw your face
And yes I stood on the other side of the world
but I took the Northern Lights home to you
I fall into habits that I've carried
So many years and when I fall
I seem to pick them up
And I don't know when or where
But this isn't me, this visionary
That can barely see
And yes I stood on the other side of the world
but I took the Northern lights home to you
So much water floods my face
I am choking on words that I finally
have the courage to say
At the wrong time in the wrong place
And there's no one here to hear me
I just scream into an empty room
And yes I stood on the other side of the world
but I took the Northern Lights home to you
Everything falls and I will
be the last one standing yes
I will hold fast
because everything here begins again
Yes I stood on the other side of the world
and took the Northern Lights home to you

Moons pass, but the sun never rises.
And something in the air,
Says to "eat what's on your plate."
And maybe your walking 'cross an endless sheet of white
Beneath an almost endless night,
You've never been so cold.
But you feel something warm,
And bright,
She's strange, she is so familiar.
You just look at her back,
And your hair stands on its ends.
And maybe she leads you to a garden and invites
You to release your lips and bite
Through all that you've been told.
You drink from a cup that is broken.
And its lonely in this crowd,
Guess you'll just go home to bed.
And maybe your caught beneath a softly shifting sky
And find that somehow just behind,
Is every sacred thing you thought you'd sold.
She's strange, she is so familiar,
And something in the air,
Says to "eat what's on your plate."
And maybe you're feeling a bit harder to excite,
You're thinking maybe it's not right,
You've never been so old
And maybe your walking 'cross a river late at night.
A friend you can't remember is standing softly at your
side.
And you feel the current pulling,
But you have no need to fight,
Because you see yourself reflected,
In the water and her eyes.
Look up.
Look up tonight,
She's dancing,

laughing at the city freaks
a carnival of gimps and tweaks
dogs are hungry for the meat
they drag it screaming through the street
everybody passing by
afraid to look them in the eye
corner dealer selling while I tell him
I don't want to buy
one night of calm, through the Netherlands
to northern lights and incense surrounding again
now we are coming, Amsterdam will bring
northern lights and incense again
wait at the corner for a white electric caterpillar ride take us to the
other side
(where the Katsu and the Old Man hide)
flying through the cloudy day
feeling like I'm far away
nothing like a sky of gray to keep me feeling in my way
one night of calm, through the Netherlands
to northern lights and incense surrounding again
now we are coming, Amsterdam will bring
northern lights and incense again
one night of calm, through the Netherlands
to northern lights and incense surrounding again
now we are coming, Amsterdam will bring
northern lights and incense again
can you see the city lights chase the shadows from the night?
(still the ember burning bright)
now we never pass it to the right
the stars are in the sky another color in my eye
feeling happy, feeling high
(feeling like I'm still alive)

Ionospheric splendour ignites the northern skies
Unseen by jaded eyes
Preferring more an insect's view of mundane, grindstone lives
This planet, once a paradise before the serpent spoke
And greed became the rope
By which the race would hang itself
Naked, without hope
Racing like lemmings to the brink of holocaust
With scant concern for cost
We fall before the god of pleasure
Jeopardizing without measure
The rarest gem of everlasting life
With staggering shortsightedness our golden calves are raised
Ignoring former days
Gambling with our heritage in this self-seeking age
The endless quest for freedom, much like the northern lights
So beautiful and bright
But far beyond the mortal's grasp
As witnessed by our plight
Too much casual violence
Too much casual sex
Too much casual unconcern
For what may happen next
The endless quest for freedom, much like the northern lights
So beautiful and bright
But far beyond the mortal's grasp
As witnessed by our plight
The splendour of redemption ignites the newborn heart
A spiritual upstart
Who cannot fathom what's to come Or what will be his part
Racing llike lemmings to the brink of holocaust
With scant concern for cost
We fall before the god of pleasure
Jeopardizing without measure

It's two o'clock and I was sleeping,
but I'm not feeling great.
I took some pills to help my thinking,
but now I'm thinking worse.
Well I was hoping that I could see you;
if that's not too absurd.
Am I in love or am I dreaming?
'Cause I'm not sensibly just taken by your words; for once I found a cure.
I'm sick of staying up late, because you're not here, and I'm not there.
No, I'm not afraid to watch you change me,
I'm not afraid to watch you change me.
You need to know what you're into;
I'll tell you I'm a god damn piece of work.
So I'll just sit here until you enter my arms
'Cause that's the simpleness of where I lay my head.
I'm a wreck when I'm alone, I'm the boy who lost his home
And I'm sensibly just taken by your words; for once I found a cure.
I'm sick of staying up late, 'cause you're not here, and I'm not there.
No, I'm not afraid to watch you change me.
I'm not afraid to watch you change me anymore.
I took the key bridge north to your parents house again.
I saw my share of lights from the sky outside the city.
I brought you things I loved just to show you that I cared.
I found a place to lay inside of the warmth.
And that's the way that I spent these last few days of writing all these songs.
I swear to god that I love you, 'cause I can't explain this.
I'm sensibly just taken by your words; for once I found a cure.
I'm sick of staying up late, because you're not here, and I'm not there.
No, I'm not afraid to watch you change me,
I'm not afraid to watch you change me anymore.
I'm taken by your words; for once I found a cure.
I'm sick of staying up late, because you're not here, and I'm not there.
No, I'm not afraid to watch you change me,

[Instrumental]

Northern Lights
Sorrow sunrise carve your strength into my veins.
And make me change.
Make me change.
My hands they shake the hope away,
Oh go away, please go away.
My restless consciousness awaken.
It burns my soul away.
The electric storm that kills my brain.
Stay the fuck away.
And all the damn poetry I spoke of.
Well cut the crap, Im not flying in space.
I'm here on a bench, sitting in my gloom, doing time.
And I will be here again and again.
As I did so many times before.
And free are the souls again, fleeing day by day.
Joining others soul by soul.
Because they know they cannot stay.
Easy to see them dead when you feel nothing.
Easy to bear when they're not yours.
Yet bitter is the hurt that hits you.
When those who died were loved by you.
Heading on towards the madness.
Killing others life by life.
With fright we look at our perspective.
When you loose green you will be blue.
I feel like a child crying for nothing,
Yet my heart is dying for real.
Something has left me once again.
And I cannot hide my tears.
I hide for nothing at all.
But I'm running out of strength.
And though I have not a wish for death.
I will be free when I am removed.
Nothing strange about the fact that rats can die.
Strange dead rats become, who make you cry.
Dead dogs and rats who make you cry.
Little man that died and made us cry.

If you say it is, then I guess it is
What you say it is, but I don't feel anything
'Cause your pendulum doesn't swing again
Yeah, your pendulum hasn't swung back in
It's a champagne year full of sober months
Through my mulling days, through my dry moments
I saw the morning Northern Lights
Convinced it was the end of times
I saw the morning Northern Lights
Gotta get young fast
Gotta get young quick
Gotta make this last
If it makes me sick
I saw the morning Northern Lights
Convinced it was the end of times
I saw the morning Northern Lights
Convinces it was the end of times
I saw the morning Northern Lights

I don't need from you a waterfall of careless praise
And I don't need a trophy for all the games I've played
But all I want is your eyes
In the morning as we wake
For a short while
And I don't need you to catch my wanderin mind
And I don't expect a southern girl to know the northern
lights
And all I want is your eyes
In the morning as we wake
For a short while
And I do need the wind across my pale face
And I do need the fern to unfurl in the spring
And I do need the grass to sway
Yes I do need to know my place
But all I want is your eyes
In the morning as we wake

The northern lights are in my mind
They guide me back to you
The northern lights are in my mind
They guide me back to you
Destination outward bound
I turn to see the northern lights behind the wing
Horizons seem to beckon me
Learned how to cry too young, so now I live to sing
The northern lights are in my mind
They guide me back to you
Horizons seem to beckon me
Learned how to cry too young, so now I live to sing
Know it's hard away from you
Traveling roads and passing through
It's not for money and it's not for fame
I just can't explain, sometimes it's lonely
Marking the space between the days
Early hours pass away
I sing to you of northern lights
I sing for you of northern nights
Past or future, here or there
Shelter comes in words from you, so talk to me
I hear your voice, it comforts me
In morning dreams I take your hand, you walk with me
The northern lights are in my mind
They guide me back to you
Peace enfolds the still night air
Home again I look for you and find you there
Destination homeward now
Take the easy way, bring me down
Making the hard way now I see
Hard to be really free, I'm missing you near me
Marking the space between the days
Early hours pass away
I sing to you of northern lights
I sing for you of northern nights
The northern lights are in my mind
They guide me back to you
The northern nights are in my eyes
They guide me back to you
The northern lights are in my mind
They guide me back to you
The northern nights are in my eyes
They guide me back to you
The northern lights are in my mind
They guide me back to you
The northern nights are in my eyes
They guide me back to you
The northern lights are in my mind
They guide me back to you
The northern nights are in my eyes

My car is full of liquid dope
I turn the key, inhale the smoke
Distorted through exhausted pipes
Creating folk like northern lights
Trying not to crash and die
Escaping the electric guy

Northern lights light the skies
Silent sighs o’er the north
Midnight is waiting
Is anticipating
The movement around the stars
Clouds separating
The wind slowly fading*
Revealing the cold northern lights
Brilliant stars light up the night sky
Magic and mystery
Surrounding
Leading me into the white lights of air*
Heavens aware*
Peace is my prayer
Peace is my prayer
Nobody knows if the streaming lights move in sound*
Only the angels know
Hiding like lanterns in dark empty caverns
They’re keeping the cold northern lights
Brilliant stars light up the night sky
Magic and mystery surrounding
Leading me into the white lights of air*
Heavens aware
Peace is my prayer
Peace is my prayer
(indistinct chanting...)
Brilliant stars light up the night sky (Brilliant stars
light up the night sky)
Magic and mystery surrounding (Magic and mystery
surrounding)
Leading me into the white lights of air (Leading me
into the white lights of air)*
Heavens aware (Heavens aware)*
Peace is my prayer
Peace is my prayer
Peace is my prayer
Smoldering* carrying curtains of light gently touching
the mountains high
Silently whispering secretly shadowing lovers of Cold
northern lights
Brilliant stars light up the night sky
Magic and mystery surrounding
Leading me into the white nights of air*
Heavens aware*
Peace is my prayer
Peace is my prayer
