LEPROUS LYRICS

1. Bonneville

[Music: Einar Solberg, lyrics: Einar Solberg]

Raindrops falling
A half closed curtain dims the light
Paralyzed and dazed
Cramps and numbness blinds the sight
Am I dreaming?

The awareness is fading
Cold and blank
Everything is vague
The awareness is fading
Hollow and drained
Everything is vague

Closing the eyes slowly
Searching for a glimpse of ambition
A last attempt of resistance
The transition...
I'm drifting
I'm drifting

The sound of distant voices
Trying to reach out
The sound of distant voices
But the words are withering

The awareness is fading
Cold and blank
Everything is vague
The awareness is fading
Hollow and drained
Everything is vague

2. Stuck

[Music: Einar Solberg, lyrics: Tor Oddmund Suhrke & Einar Solberg]

Reborn with shiny dreams
A spark of childish hope
Glory to seek

Headed for the top
With no safety rope

Afraid to turn around
Forcing me to grow
Finishing alive
Only time will tell

Clinging to a shaky line
Insecure about what I will see
Mounting the unstable peak
It's overwhelming me

I am stuck on mountains
Mountains of doubt
I am stuck on mountains
Mountains of apathy

The end is near to what I sought
The goals has turned to dreams I fought

My image changing silently
The way back down is turning steep
How do I stay away from self pity
And back to sleep
Where did I go wrong?

I am stuck on mountains

I am stuck on mountains
Mountains of doubt
I am stuck on mountains
Mountains of apathy

How do I get home?
I'm not that strong

3. From The Flame

[Music: Einar Solberg & Tor Oddmund Suhrke, lyrics: Tor Oddmund Suhrke]

You'll find me here when I'm gone
Where I made my surrender
From the flame
I'll take my aim

Shaded windows
Can I make it shut out
The painful view

Cover up
Hide from me

Shed a tear
Say no more until you
Tell me when

Silent steps
Are echoing
Again

You'll find me here when I'm gone
Where I made my surrender
From the flame
I'll take my aim

Struggling
To endure
I can't see more than I have settled for

Searching to be found
When you're not around

No rest
No support
This has been my last resort

Hoping I am blind
Leaving me behind

You'll find me here when I'm gone
Where I made my surrender
From the flame
I'll take my aim

4. Captive

[Music: Einar Solberg, lyrics: Tor Oddmund Suhrke]

Taken
My limitations
To enable
All my temptations

Unchained
From my creation
Nothing precious
Without fixation

Deny
Kept in chains
Fly
Run away

Leashes leaving me conscious
While I'm searching
In the distance

Focus
Keeping me captive
So I don't get lost

With chains on my back
I fly

Deny
Kept in chains
Fly
Run away

5. Illuminate

[Music: Einar Solberg & Baard Kolstad, lyrics: Tor Oddmund Suhrke]

Your road is paved
Yet coloured in black
Concealed by the night
It remains

Undiscovered
Until the dawn
Hidden from the light
It remains

When night confines you
Take my torch

Illuminate
Your god might not rise
Light your way
Illuminate
No ray meets your eyes
Find your day

Moulded by the tide
Where your shelter lies
Covering your path
Invisible

The fire slowly died
Couldn't stop your cries
Hidden by your wrath
Invisible
Invisible

Illuminate
Your god might not rise
Light your way
Illuminate
No ray meets your eyes
Find your day

Waiting for someone
Daring to see
Shades on your pathway
Leading to me

6. Leashes

[Music: Einar Solberg, lyrics: Tor Oddmund Suhrke]

Withhold your last breath
Before you turn to stone
Forget the struggle

Cave in
While the pressure lasts
Walk...
After storms have passed

No salvation to be found
Holding me back no more

Rise
The withered flower
Dead in the sand

Eyes watching from afar
Witness the disband
Grasping at your hand

No salvation to be found
Holding me back no more

No salvation to be found
Beyond my wings

7. Mirage

[Music: Einar Solberg, lyrics: Einar Solberg & Milica Maric]

Join in with me
We'll fly on someone else's wings
To where everybody is one

Above the sky we read
It's written black on white
The truth, follow the lead

Echoes of the same old psalm
Sing with me
In unity
Join in with me

I have been trying to break out for too long
From the cage
I found my path when I thought that I was wrong

Stay close to me
I'll show you what you need to see

Close your eyes
Trust in me
I'll be your guide blindly

Join in with me
I'll be your guide

I have been trying to break out for too long
From the cage
I found my path when I thought that I was wrong

8. Malina

[Music: Einar Solberg, lyrics: Einar Solberg]

The sound of a rusty old clock
Broken windows, creaking doors
Cold breeze piercing through the blanket

Realized
There's no way out
Every day growing older
Realized
There's nowhere to hide
Every day moving slower

Still breathing heavy
Standing up, sore and aching
Grabbing the basket
On the bring of collapse
But still enduring

Enduring another day
Enduring another night

Arrogant looks
Hostile remarks
But still no choice

Realized
There's no way out
Every day growing older
Realized
There's nowhere to hide
Every day moving slower

9. Coma

[Music: Einar Solberg, lyrics: Tor Oddmund Suhrke]

Realize
No way out
Days I can't be without

One solution
Make it count
Stand behind the silent shout

Feel the heat
No retreat
Feel the coma

Memories
There to find
Bent pictures in your mind

Fiery tail
Burning hope

Tainted desire
Unable to steer
A comet on fire

Feel the heat
No retreat
Feel the coma

10. The Weight Of Disaster

[Music: Einar Solberg, lyrics: Tor Oddmund Suhrke]

Sacred, created
By all the hated
Blinded by the moving tide
Steady as the masses hide

Filtered, shaded
Long since faded
Spirits drowning one by one
Sinking until they are gone

Pray to the master
Betray or be replaced
The weight of disaster
Lay them all to waste

Desperation
Better be
Setting sail in a stormy sea
Alone against humanity

Dark confusion
Necessity
Written now in history

Paradeigma
Broken stigma

Pray to the master
Betray or be replaced
The weight of disaster
Lay them all to waste

Apprehension
Liquid tension
Further than before
Free him from the depth once more

11. The Last Milestone

[Music: Einar Solberg, lyrics: Einar Solberg]

A heart in dissolution
The defeat is taking form
Reaching the turning point
A desperate call

It's approaching
Falling
It's near
The last milestone
Crawling
It's here

Isolated
Dancing the last dance

It's approaching
Far beyond
The last milestone
Reaching the last floor

12. Root

[Bonus Track]

[Music by Einar Solberg, lyrics by Tor Oddmund Suhrke]

Firm rock surface
Shutting me out
One true purpose
Circles about

Thermal anguish
Derailing me
Forcing my anchor
Where it should be

My root
Infiltrating
Deeper

My fruit
Surpassing
My keeper

Left to the seasons
Random distress
Unstable comfort
I grow to impress

Climbing to greatness
I learn my way
How to survive

No task made easy
Setting me free
How to survive
Slowing me down
