From Finner

Taking over this town, they should worry

But these problem aside, I think I taught you well
That we wont run, we wont run, we wont run

And in the winter night sky ships are sailing

Looking down on these bright blue city lights
And they wont wait, they wont wait, they wont wait
Were here to stay, were here to stay, were here to stay
Howling ghosts they reappear
in mountains that are stacked with fear
But youre a king and Im a lionheart
a lionheart

Jumping up and down the floor

my head is an animal
And once there was an animal
it had a son that mowed the lawn
The son was an ok guy
They had a pet dragonfly
The dragonfly, it ran away
But it came back with a story to say

Her dirty paws and furry coat

she ran down the forest slope
The forest of talking trees
they used to sing about the birds and the bees
The bees had declared a war
the sky wasnt big enough for them all
The birds, they got help from below
From dirty paws and the creatures of snow

And for a while things were cold

they were scared down in their holes
The forest that once was green
was coloured black by those killing machines
But she and her furry friends
took down the queen bee and her men
And thats how the story goes
the story of the beast with those four dirty paws

His crown lit up the way as we moved slowly

Past the wondering eyes of the ones that were left behind
Though far away, though far away, though far away
Were still the same, were still the same, were still the same
Howling ghosts they reappear
in mountains that are stacked with fear
But youre a king and Im a lionheart
And in the sea thats painted black
creatures lurk below the deck
But youre a king and Im a lionheart
And as the world comes to an end
Ill be here to hold your hand
Because youre my king and Im your lionheart
a lionheart

I heard them calling in the distance

so I packed my things and ran
Far away from all the trouble
I had caused with my two hands
Alone we traveled
armed with nothing but a shadow
We fled far away
Hold your horses now
We sleep until the sun goes down
Through the woods we ran
Deep into the mountain sound

The lights go out, I am all alone

All the trees outside are buried in the snow
I spend my night dancing with my own shadow
And it holds me and it never lets me go

Some had scars and some had scratches

It made me wonder about their past
And as I looked around I began to notice
That we were nothing like the rest

I move slow and steady

But I feel like a waterfall
I move slow and steady
Past the ones that I used to know

My dear old friend, take me for a spin

Two wolves in the dark running in the wind
Im letting go but Ive never felt better
Passing by all the monsters in my head
And I move slow and steady
But I feel like a waterfall
I move slow and steady
Past the ones that I used to know
And Im never ready
Cause I know, I know, I know
That time wont let me
show what I want to show

We came here on his back and we caught your eye

The salty ocean wind made the seagulls cry
The rocking of his house had me holding on
but I knew that I was safe from there on out

And the waves that hit his face marked the past
And the furrows on his skin, oh how time goes fast
And we are far from home but were so happy
Far from home, all alone, but were so happy

After every sunny day, came a stormy night

Thats when Finner would say, Keep your heads held high
And we are far from home but were so happy
Far from home, all alone, but were so happy

Slow, slow me down

Her blood on my bones
Let go, lay to rest
We fall, we fall, we fall
we fall to the ground

I dont like walking around this old and empty house

So hold my hand Ill walk with you my dear
The stairs creak as you sleep its keeping me awake
Its the house telling you to close your eyes

And some days I cant even dress myself

Its killing me to see you this way
Because though the truth may vary
this ship will carry our bodies safe to shore

Theres an old voice in my head thats holding me back

Well tell her that I miss our little talks
Soon it will be over and buried with our past
We used to play outside when we were young and full of life
and full of love

Some days I dont know if I am wrong or right

Your mind is playing tricks on you my dear
Because though the truth may vary
this ship will carry our bodies safe to shore

Dont listen to a word I say

the screams all sound the same
Though the truth may vary
this ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
Youre gone, gone, gone away
I watched you disappear
All thats left is a ghost of you
Now were torn, torn, torn apart
theres nothing we can do
Just let me go well meet again soon
No wait, Wait, Wait for me
Please hang around
Ill see you when I fall asleep

Sleep, sleep all night

while the young, they wait alone
Get up, shake the rust
We crawl, we crawl, we crawl
we crawl on the ground
Alone, I fight these animals
Alone, until I get home

A wolf, Wolf and I

we share the same cold meal
I float on, float on down
We ride, we ride, we ride
we ride it all out
Alone, I fight these animals
Alone, until I get home

Coming back, Im coming back

Coming back, Im coming back
She follows me into the woods
takes me home

The
The
The
And

sea said goodbye to the shore so the sun wouldnt notice

seaweed that wrapped its arms around you
carpet on my cheek feels like a forest
I run though the tall trees with your hand chasing me

The books that I keep by my bed are full of your stories

That I drew up from a little dream of mine, a little nightmare of yours
To be asked to take this plunge to forgive and forget
And be the better man
To be a better man, to be a better man
So love me mother and love me father and love my sister as well
The cats silhouette - as big as a monster
In this concrete jungle with streetlights hanging their heads
So make all your last demands for I will forsake you
and Ill meet your eyes for the very first time for the very last

So love me mother and love me father and love my sister as well

So love me mother and love me father and love my brother as well

I met a man today and he smiled back at me

Now there are thoughts like these that keep me on my feet, that keep me on my feet

Im looking for a place to start and everything feels so different now

Just grab a hold of my hand I will lead you through this wonderland
Water up to my knees but sharks are swimming in the sea
Just follow my yellow light and ignore all those big warning signs

Somewhere deep in the dark a howling beast hears us talk

I dare you to close your eyes and see all the colours in disguise
Running into the night the earth is shaking and I see a light
The light is blinding my eyes as the soft walls eat us alive

Oh, I miss the comfort of this house

Where we are, where we are
Where we are, where we are
The floor under our feet whispers out
Come on in, come on in, where it all begins
Can you chase the fire away

We climbed up to the top in worn out shoes

She ran down, she ran down
she ran down to the house
A FOX THAT GAINS OUR TRUST
BUT THEN BREAKS IT AS HE WALKS AWAY FROM US
AWAY FROM US
Can you chase the fire away
In the fall we sleep all day
in the fall we sleep all day

IN THE FALL WE SLEEP ALL DAY

IN THE FALL WE SLEEP ALL DAY
WHERE WE ARE

FISHING FOR A FRIEND

CANT REMEMBER WHEN
IT WAS DARK, OR THE SUN COMING UP
FAR ACROSS THE OCEAN ALONE
WHILE NUMB BEARS AT HOME
SAID I COULD NEVER GET THERE
NEVER GET THERE

BREAKING LITTLE TWIGS WITH MY FEET

AND UNDERNEATH IS A ROAD THATS SO STEEP
FAR ACROSS THE OCEAN ALONE
WHILE NUMB BEARS AT HOME
SAID I COULD NEVER GET THERE
BUT IM ALREADY THERE

TAKK! THANK YOU!
