I don’t want to hear anything
Nothing to be shown
Just lend me a shoulder
And take me home
…
Shut the doors for another day
And secrets, unknown
Will you lend me a shoulder?
And take me home
…
The angels have fallen asleep while
The demons roam
Please lend me a shoulder
And take me home
…
My heavy heart knows how
These feelings have grown
But lend me a shoulder now
And take me home
…
Will you stay and not leave me
On my own?
Lend me a shoulder
And take me home

When Raging Against A Storm
When raging against a storm
Take your umbrella with you
Though it may not suffice
You’ll need something to hold on to
Cupid’s Fist
Where do you think I would be
When it begins to rain?
Waiting for a girl
To heal my pain
On this lonely road
With not a soul in sight
And a strange feeling
Gripping me in the night
Have I felt this before?
Should I let this grow?
Feels like Cupid’s using his fist
He must have lost his bow
…
Where would she be
When it begins to pour?
Would she be waiting
Like before?
Will Cupid hit her
With his arrow?
Or has he lost it too?
I do not know
Let the winds blow the answers
In my ears
When the rains will wash away
All my fears
May God Be With You – 7
God must love me a lot
He picked up all the problems in the world
And put them in my heart
You say that’s not true?
All the problems are with you?
Well, God must love you too
Summer’s Driving A Bus
Lay down all the corpses in my yard
I will bring them to life
No black magic or witch craft
Neither a surgeon’s knife
Will aid me in this ceremony
Of howling ghosts and foxy eyes
Just tell me what the truth is
And hear the last of your cries
…
Lay down all the demons in your soul
The winter is upon us
Cold winds are blowing through the window
While Summer’s driving a bus
On the path of solitude
Where darkness and pain had met
Only for a little while
When Sun had begun to set
Amy
If the conquerors of the world
Were to fall at my feet
And promise to bring me anything
As soon as I had wished
What do you think I would wish for?
What do you think I crave?
Is there something I need?
Is there something I don’t have?
…
No, I wouldn’t wish for gold
Nor for any gems lost beneath the sea
Nor for any buried treasure
Neither for a map to lead me
No, I wouldn’t wish for power
Nor do I desire fame
I feel blessed with silence
That comes with this name
…
If there’s one thing, however
That I would like to call my own
Is for a pretty girl I know
Who doesn’t leave my thoughts alone
She comes up in my head
Whenever I try to write
A song or a poem
About my sleepless nights
…
I wish she was here with me
Telling me stories and tales
We’d have endless conversations
About each other and nobody else
I know it is just a dream
Is it ever going to become
That we would talk for hours on end
Until Spring has come?
Minutes
We’ll dance and we’ll play
And we’ll jump all day
And then we’ll grow apart
Minutes will turn to days
Days to years
What we have now
Will then, be forever lost
Walls
Without you here
This ain’t a home
Not even a house
They’re just walls
May God Be With You – 6
Now, my soul I left with you
To make all the things you want come true
Our good ol’ days may be over
But we ought to create some new
…
A thousand miles away from home
Not for a moment I felt alone
You were always on my mind
While I was caught up in a storm
…
Now, my skin is getting older
And my bones are getting colder
It gets worse here every night
Will you lend me a shoulder?
…
Tell all our friends that I said hi
There’s still time for my goodbye
I may never ever be back
That doesn’t mean you have to cry
…
This letter I wrote for you
And this song I’ll sing for you
Always keep me in your heart
And may God be with you too
Becoming The Mask
Don’t put that mask on too tight
It may never come off
Just say what you feel inside
It will be enough
…
What if there would be no tomorrow?
Would you leave with all the secrets in your heart?
Drive away all the pain and sorrow
Let happiness take a part
…
I know love is long overdue
But isn’t it unfair
When you do not let anyone come through
And become the mask that you wear?
