Agder is a historical district of Norway in the southernmost region of Norway, corresponding to the two counties (fylker) Vest-Agder and Aust-Agder. Today, the term Sørlandet ("south country") is more commonly used.
The name Agder is older than the Norwegian language. Its meaning is not known. Just as Norwegian derives from Old Norse, Agder derives from the Old Norse word Agðir. In the early Viking Age, before Harald Fairhair, Agðir was a petty kingdom inhabited by a people named after it, the Egðir.
Nothing in Old Norse, however, gives any hint as to the meaning of the word; i.e., it was not produced (from known segments) in Old Norse, which means that the name is older still. The Egðir are believed to be the same etymologically as the Augandzi people mentioned in the Getica of Jordanes, who wrote of Scandza (Scandinavia) in the 6th century. If Jordanes' Scandza is a palatalized form of *Scandia, then Augandzi is likely to be a palatalized form of *Augandii, residents of *Augandia.
Without you, without you
Thenights are long, cold dark
Without you, without you, I'm yearning
Foryour sinful touch
Far away we will find our own way
In decay we will fade into the light
I know you're always with me
Together just you and me
I know you're right beside me
The Ghost Within Me
I know you're always near me
Forever we will always be
I feel deep inside of me
The Ghost Within my Heart
Without you, without you, I feel so empty inside
Without you, without you, I walk into the endless
Night
Far away we will find our own way
In decay we will fade into the light
I know you're always with me
Together just you and me
I know you're right beside me
The Ghost Within Me
I know you're always near me
Forever we will always be
I feel deep inside of me
The Ghost Within my Heart
Far away from the lives we used to know
Nights I spend awake
Waiting for the sign
Days never ended
When will the time arrive?
Far beyond my sight
Hiding in the dark
A semblance of a feeling that was lost
But now is found
As I take a look around me
Never did I feel so lonely
In the dream
The voice had told me
Now it's time
For A Different Story
Ever will I know
What lies inside my mind?
Searching through my pride
I find no place to hide
Blindly still I go
And leave the past behind
Faithfully embrace the light
As I take a look around me
Never did I feel so lonely
In the dream
The voice had told me
Now it's time
For A Different Story
Light surrounds the dark
As it pulls me in
I take a look behind
And see the golden door
It draws closer now
As the touch begins
I step into beyond
As I look upon my life
There's a memory of a child
That I knew so long ago
In a distant point in time
We were once so young and free
That's where I still long to be
In the warmness of a love
That was yours and was mine
Sometimes when alone
I still think of you
Memories Of Another Time
When we were young
And the world was ours
Memories Of Another Time
We stood as one
And we never faltered
Running free under the sun
Our days had just begun
Carefree glances instead of words
Not a worry in the world
Hand in hand
We marched through time
From our childhood and beyond
Every time I close my eyes
You are all that I see
Sometimes when alone
I still think of you
Memories Of Another Time
When we were young
And the world was ours
Memories Of Another Time
We stood as one
And we never faltered
One step that's wrong can throw
Your world into the unknown
One step that's wrong can throw
Your world into the darkness
One voice unheard
Turns to silence in the void
One wheel that turns is heard
In the calm before the storm
Sometimes when alone
I still think of you
Memories Of Another Time
When we were young
And the world was ours
Memories Of Another Time
We stood as one
Somewhere in time there was a dream
A dream I felt deep inside
That no one could understand
Where do I go now?
When will I find my way?
All The Lies I've left behind
Seem so far now from my mind
Now I take I look inside, what's left of me
From the life that once was mine
I tried to heal the wounds of time
Never really did believe the lies were real
From beyond I'm reminded of a memory
Now it's gone into the gray of the moment
Where do I go now?
When will I find my way?
All The Lies I've left behind
Seem so far now from my mind
Now I take I look inside, what's left of me
From the life that once was mine
I tried to heal the wounds of time
Never really did believe the lies were real
Where do I go now?
When will I find my way?
All The Lies I've left behind
Seem so far now from my mind
Now I take I look inside, what's left of me
From the life that once was mine
I tried to heal the wounds of time
Standing here
right in front of me
A Ghost from my memories
It's plain to see, but I don't believe
It's wrong , I know, I know
How can I believe
When all my life it seems
The truth has been always kept from me
Although I do feel strong.
Never will I trust
the lies that they spew
All of my hopes and
dreams will come true
Some say forever more
But I don't have time at all
Some try to even the score
But I just don't know what for
Some lie when they say goodbye
They'd rather live in denial
Some die to be reborn
But I'd rather not conform
Fate, you see,
plays a game with me
It tears me up inside
It frightens me, to the core of me
And never lets me go
How can I retrieve
What I thought was meant for me
When all of my life it seems
The truth has kept me strong
Never will I trust
the lies that they spew
All of my hopes and
dreams will come true
Some say forever more
But I don't have time at all
Some try to even the score
But I just don't know what for
Some lie when they say goodbye
They'd rather live in denial
Some die to be reborn
But I'd rather not conform
Destiny and reality
Manifest eternity
It's plain to see
right in front of me
Where it was all along
Never will I trust
the lies that they spew
All of my hopes and
dreams will come true
Some say
Some try
Some lie
Some die
Serge down mighty storms
Destroy the ones before!
Spend eternity in torment
Begin your descent
Fire breathed the life from the enemy
Sisters in arms rise the new army
Cleanse mother earth
Of patriarch devastation
Rise mountains a new reformation
Time waits for none
You cannot run
Gathering night rages on
Sensing dark waves
Riding the days
Sea of flames ablaze
War devous souls
Written in scrolls
Regaining control
Mixing with mud
Venomous blood;
Unleash The Flood!
Your God was a toy
Destroy all relics
From their ashes rise the phoenix
Heaven was here and will be again
Immortal one
We now reign
Time waits for none
You cannot run
Gathering night rages on
Sensing dark waves
Riding the days
Sea of flames ablaze
War devous souls
Written in scrolls
Regaining control
Mixing with mud
Venomous blood;
Unleash The Flood!
Disgraced the gift
Life was so pure
The greed and the plague
Left only one cure
Time waits for none
You cannot run
Gathering night rages on
Sensing dark waves
Riding the days
Sea of flames ablaze
War devous souls
Written in scrolls
Regaining control
Mixing with mud
Venomous blood;
Running hard through the snow
No idea where to go
Is there someone there in front of me?
Try so hard, still can't see
Change the path, fight the urge
To give up, to let go
Will someone come rescue me?
How did this come to be?
Far away from a normal town
Feel so lost, starting to drown
I know who's done this me
Not the work of a mortal being
Came so close in the dead of the night
Didn't hear a whisper but felt the fright
Lifted high above me
Shadows were all that I could see
I don't know whom to trust
Tell me where can I run?
To the left or to the right
There is nowhere to hide
I am just one of the many abducted
No one is sane
In the land of the Midnight Sun
Still have so far to go
Escaped their clutch; that I know
Are they coming after me?
Do I have a chance to flee?
A faint scream distantly
Another caught and now is gone
Why is no one helping us?
What's to become of us?
Far away from a normal town
Feel so lost, starting to drown
I know who's done this me
Not the work of a mortal being
Came so close in the dead of the night
Didn't hear a whisper but felt the fright
Lifted high above me
Shadows were all that I could see
I don't know whom to trust
Tell me where can I run?
To the left or to the right
There is nowhere to hide
I am just one of the many abducted
No one is sane
In the land of the Midnight Sun
I don't know who to trust
Tell me where can I run?
To the left or to the right
There is nowhere to hide
I am just one of the many abducted
No one is sane
In the land of the Midnight Sun
I don't know where to rung
Tell me who can I trust?
Far ahead behind
There is nowhere to hide
I am just one of the one who were taken
No one is safe
In the land of the Midnight Sun
Whoa are you now?
I don't know whom to trust
Tell me where can I run?
To the left or to the right
There is nowhere to hide
I am just one of the many abducted
No one is sane
In the land of the Midnight Sun
I don't know where to rung
Tell me who can I trust?
Far ahead behind
There is nowhere to hide
I am just one of the one who were taken
No one is safe
Sometimes at night I feel them
Waiting for the dawn
I hear them call out to me; no one do I see
I wander alone through the rain
Drifting I hear them calling;
This time there's no uncertainty
From the depths below
Where only demons dare to go
Resonates the unseen force
Rising through the fragile core
After the rain comes crashing down
Who will be left to sing the songs?
And when the new day has begun;
who'll wipe the tears away?
After the rain comes crashing down
There's no one left to carry on
And then the bells begin to chime
For whom it tolls tonight?
Silently I slip into their lair
Never a doubt as I see the despair;
I sense it everywhere
Now I know what must be done
I take a final look and then I'm gone
My story will live forever on!
From the depths below
Where only demons dare to go
Resonates the unseen force
Rising through the fragile core
After the rain comes crashing down
Who will be left to sing the songs?
And when the new day has begun;
who'll wipe the tears away?
After the rain comes crashing down
There's no one left to carry on
And then the bells begin to chime
For whom it tolls tonight?
From far away they came to elighten us
Offering to change the ways
I felt so complete, so alive, always at ease
You by my side, never to leave
I always knew you'd be taken from me
Days go by and I'm left with the sadness
Time chasing time leads to my madness
Another place, a different window
A new path for me to go through
Why did you leave me this way?
When all I ever wanted was just one more day
In Your Eyes I see the hidden treasure
In Your Eyes I see my life
Take me on your final journey
Take me back into your arms
Why did you leave me this way?
When all I ever wanted was just one more day
In Your Eyes I see the hidden treasure
In Your Eyes I see my life
Far beyond the light I feel your inner torment
Far beyond the night I hear your cries
Can you hear me when I call you?
Are you afraid of what surrounds you?
From beyond the dark I'll find you
No matter what hell I go through
In Your Eyes I see the hidden treasure
In Your Eyes I see my life
Far beyond the light I feel your inner torment
Far beyond the night I hear your cries
Take me on your final journey
Take me back into your arms
In Your Eyes I see the glory
Did you know the past?
Did you know that it holds the key
To the part of your mind
That unlocks your memories?
Future fades too fast
Fades away from you and me
Will we be the last
To find the truth to the greatest mystery?
I know a place just follow me there
And I will show you what lies ahead
A different space out there somewhere
Between the living and the dead
The Best Is Yet To Come
Our work has just begun
The road that lies ahead
Will lead to brighter days
Don't be afraid to try
I know you're wondering why
But in the end you'll see
And you will believe
Some things just have to be
In the final dance
Will you take a chance with me?
Call it happenstance
Call it out destiny
The Best Is Yet To Come
Our work has just begun
The road that lies ahead
Will lead to brighter days
Don't be afraid to try
I know you're wondering why
But in the end you'll see
And you will believe
The final moments have begun
OUr world is waking up
We take the steps to build upon
It's time for the world to see
Let's take a chance before it's gone
And tear the castles down
We'll chase them all out on the run
From long ago, before the storm
I knew that I was alone
Left to my world, strange and unknown
Now it has take it's toll
There was a dream, that brought me here
Far away, far from my home
There was a dream, that brought me here
Far away, far away and alone
Fate's not smiled down on me
Still I cry for my reprieve
Time slips by, never here
Always gone, never seems so near
All along, you were the one
That planted the seed, deep inside me
Dreams go on, one into one
Never a doubt, that you were beside me
Still I'm strong, I will go on
Even though, you have abandoned me
You've closed the door, trapped my soul
But one day I will be free!
Just let me be, here in my peace
Where I can be alone with thoughts
No company, just misery
And the burden of what has become of us all
There was a dream, that brought me here
Far away, far from my home
There was a dream, that brought me here
Far away, far away and alone
Fate's not smiled down on me
Still I cry for my reprieve
Time slips by, never here
Always gone, never seems so near
All along, you were the one
That planted the seed, deep inside me
Dreams go on, one into one
Never a doubt, that you were beside me
Still I'm strong, I will go on
Even though, you have abandoned me
You've closed the door, trapped my soul
But one day I will be free!
All along, you were the one
That planted the seed, deep inside me
Dreams go on, one into one
Never a doubt, that you were beside me
Still I'm strong, I will go on
Even though, you have abandoned me
You've closed the door, trapped my soul
From The Gutter To The Throne
All the dark places man has gone
There's so much to learn
In front of us
All the sadness we have known
And the madness we have shown
Can we escape the wheel
We're stuck upon?
From beginning to end
All the time that we've spent
Chasing dreams
As the veil ascends
Will we cease to pretend that we're free?
Led to all of the hate
Countless fears
As the darkness descends
Will we ever transcend
And find out what it means?
We're the ones that failed to grow
Even though we've lived before
In this land that has replenished us
One day soon will come a storm
That will wash away all that's born
All the will remain will be forsaken
Take a look in the mirror
Do you like what you see?
Is your reflection getting clearer
Is it what you like it to be?
The books have all been written
Now it's up to history
Our final days are getting nearer
It's time to rise up and be free?
From beginning to end
All the time that we've spent
Chasing dreams
As the veil ascends
Will we cease to pretend that we're free?
Led to all of the hate
Countless fears
As the darkness descends
Will we ever transcend
And find out what it means?
There's a hand made of stone
Holding down our ascent
Truth be known
We stand alone
All alone
Take a look in the mirror
Do you like what you see?
Is your reflection getting clearer
Is it what you like it to be?
The books have all been written
Now it's up to history
Our final days are getting nearer
It's time to rise up and be free?
From beginning to end
All the time that we've spent
Chasing dreams
As the veil ascends
Will we cease to pretend that we're free?
Led to all of the hate
Countless fears
As the darkness descends
Will we ever transcend
And find out what it means?
