Green Carnation
A Blessing in Disguise




1. Crushed To Dust

[music: Stein R, lyrics Stein R]

He took a long look in the mirror
Shook his head
Felt the arms of God letting go
Couldn`t breathe
It had to stop
Voices screaming out inside of him
The world was turning black
Cold, cruel and vicious
Time was knocking on a closing door
Wanting more

Playing pieces of a life long play
In which the starring actor
Makes the world go around inside his head
Then suddenly the act is ending
The lights are dimming and the music`s fading

There was a woman lying on the floor
Blueish, pale
Staring a hole through his soul
There was blood underneath
The shotgun lying next too her
He mumbled "am I closer now
Is this the path that God has chosen out for me?"

Playing pieces of a life long play
In which the starring actor
Makes the world go around inside his head
Then suddenly the act is ending
The lights are dimming and the music`s fading

"Cut", he said. "Let`s wrap it up! We`re finished here!"

Playing pieces of a life long play
In which the starring actor
Makes the world go around inside his head
Then suddenly the act is ending
The lights are dimming and the music`s fading


2. Lullaby In Winter

[music: Tchort, lyrics: Kjetil N]

When tomorrow comes
All your worrries fly
Hear the lullaby

All will be soft and warm
You will be safe and strong
Hear the lullaby

Can you recall the light?

I know you`re sad because it`s winter
But I can promise you a spring
I know you`re cold, I see you shiver
But I can promise you a spring

Tomorrow`s new
Tomorrow`s warm
Remember, when you`re all alone

I know you`re hurt, I feel it in my heart
But I can promise you a spring
I see you`re down, I see it in your eyes
But I can promise you a spring


3. Writings On The Wall

[music: Tchort, lyrics: Tchort]

Kill me... Down by the shore
I can feel it... She is not here anymore
Hear my call... It`s born by the breeze
Tell me... To where do I go?

I would beg, I would plead
But you were still going to leave
The message that I couldn`t see
Lying on the floor
The writings on the wall

Meet me... In the forest, come alone
See the lights... It`s my car coming down the road
I want you... Queen of bizarre
Days of love, like an arrow shot right through the heart

I would beg, I would plead
But you were still going to leave
The message that I couldn`t see
Lying on the floor
The writings on the wall

A shadow cast falls from me over you
Lying on the floor
With the hammer raised to let you know
When the passion dissolves
The blood on the walls

Kill me... Down by the shore
I can feel it... She is not here anymore
Hear my call... It`s born by the breeze
Tell me... To where do I go?

I would beg, I would plead
But you were still going to leave
The message that I couldn`t see
Lying on the floor
The writings on the wall

A shadow cast falls from me over you
Lying on the floor
With the hammer raised to let you know
When the passion dissolves
The blood on the walls

I would beg, I would plead
But you were still going to leave
The message that I couldn`t see
When the passion dissolves
The blood on the walls


4. Into Deep

[music: Tchort, lyrics: Kjetil N]

Drowning slowly
In my own sea
Fading lonely
Into deep

Pushed too hard
Pushed too far
Into deep

Fell too hard
Fell too far
Into deep

Feel my pity
Cause I am down
Into deep

I waited for something to happen
For someone to save me
Praying for something to happen
For someone to lift me

But I kept falling down

Mute my eyes
Sacrifice
The dream that will always be there
Mute my eyes
Neutralize
The dream that will always be there

Pushed too hard
Pushed too far
Into deep

Fell too hard
Fell too far
Into deep

I waited for something to happen
For someone to save me
Praying for something to happen
For someone to lift me

But I kept falling down


5. The Boy In The Attic

[music: Tchort, lyrics: Tchort]

A blessing from below, born a sweet child like foretold
Could it the boy that I used to be
Oh, father please forgive me if I`ve done you wrong
For how long will you let me suffer all alone

Father! Please!

A father`s touch, a beating one too much

Hiding in the closet waiting for him to sleep
What others saw of me, was what dad wanted them to see

Father! Please!

I want to taste the free, like nothing ever used to be
I want to taste what is mine
Am I evil, could it be, that I am the one they fear
Look at me, I am the sweetest one you`ll ever see

I made it through the old into a brand new life
No more hiding in the closet, waiting for him to sleep

Into the shadows of old
Strange memories of time gone

I was never rightfully yours
Storys like mine, that were never told
Out of the window feeling free
That is how I killed me...


6. Two Seconds In Life

[music: Kjetil N, lyrics: Kjetil N]

I left myself
I left my body
I got so frightened by the light,
and all the things that I could see
I left myself

Blinded by the light
Faded by the dawn
Of mine

I whispered "no"
To my own shadow
I got so frightened by the light,
and all the tings that I could see
I whispered "no"

Blinded by the light
Faded by the dawn
Of mine

I got along
To my own voice
I got enlightened by the fright,
and all the things that I could see
I got along

Blinded by the light
Faded by the dawn
Of mine

I flew away...


7. Myron And Cole

[music: Stein R, lyrics: Stein R]

Myron and Cole had a plan heading of to another world
Inhaling an acre of Myrons sweet garden of pleasure
Waving goodbye to the rational patterns of thinking

High above, swans sails the orbits of earth
Waiting for peace below
Dying to go with the flow

Cole starts to shiver,
he`s sweating and swears that an angel`s here
He`s crying while speaking of colors which does not exist

Let me bleed for knowledge an angel possess
Speak to the world through me
I live for a reason to be

Myron stood up and he laughed in his moment of clarity
Said to his friend "are we ever to come to our senses?"

High above, swans sails the orbits of earth
Waiting for peace below
Dying to go with the flow


8. As Life Flows By

[Music: Tchort, Lyrics: Tchort & Kjetil N]

Cross my heart and hope to die
With only seconds away before I...
It felt so good when I hit the ground
Come with me; join me on the other side

And life flows by
It hits me when I hit the ground
And life flows by
I am feeling lonely, fading slowly
And life flows by

If tomorrow never see the light
If I never get to say goodbye
It doesn't mean that I don't care
Come with me, and I will take you there

And life flows by
It hits me when I hit the ground
And life flows by
I am feeling lonely, fading slowly
And life flows by
I am feeling lonely, fading slowly
Out

When passion burns no more
When your friends are all gone
When laughter is heard no more
I am the fool who turned away

And life flows by
It hits me when I hit the ground
And life flows by
I am feeling lonely, fading slowly
And life flows by
I am feeling lonely, fading slowly
Out


9. Rain

[music: Tchort, lyrics: Kjetil N]

It rained on the day that she went away
She never returned
Searching for something she`d lost on her way
She never came back

To me

It rained on the day that I fell asleep
I never returned
Searching for something I`d lost on my way
I never came back

To life

I dreamt of a mountain that I could not sieze
I dreamt of a flower that I could not smell
I dreamt of treasures that I could not possess
I dreamt of dreams that were not true

She found a mountain, but would not seize
She found a flower, but would not smell
She found treasures, but would not possess
She found a life, but would not live

To where she went I don`t know
But what I felt, she was close

She found a mountain, but would not sieze
She found a flower, but would not smell
She found treasures, but would not possess
She found a life, but would not live
