Black/white/grey

you just stood idly by
as the bishops raped your friends
and burnt down everything you had

It would have been so comforting
if it all were just a mare
there is no escape from reality

Walls crumble
into the abyss remission
left your knights behind for fools
tending your wounds before the dawn

In the grey
you close in
hooves march
to end all suffering

It would have been so comforting
if it all were just a mare
there is no escape from reality

And your pawns litter the field
the grey now turned into rust
your queen lay silent beneath you
as the king marches towards

Check mate

In waves

Trivium released their new record this week, and I’m addicted. In Waves is a fantstic concept album, spanning so many different techniques. I reallt recommend everyone to check it out.

Today AM and I are heading to Lintilla to bbq and relax in a hot tub. I’m really excited about this, as AM has made homemade ice cream, and homemade hamburgers. I’ve had a taste of the former, and it’s awesome! There’s a slight chance there will be some ethanol involved, but I have to measure my mind when the time comes. I’m not 100% well yet, so it all depends on the moments.

A couple of days ago I went on a home visit. I cincerely can’t remember doing that in the noon for years. Went to Kjell Haaverd, whom I hadn’t seen for 7 or 8 years. It was so fun to see him again, and how he’s changed. I saw alot of myself in him, and he proved to be a very good conversationist. Reflected, acceptable and interesting. Hope to see him again, as I think there are lots of topics to be touched upon.

And I’ve found a happy place

 

Hardened

Indestructible
On this rock I lie
But I’m alive for good
And I just free myself now
From all what was wrong
Break the unbreakable

All the stars
Fearlessly bright
They call me out there
Order me to face the wind
My structure’s alive,
My body’s on the way
Don’t bow down
Before the walls
Of fear and madness
They try to counter me
And strike me down
To the ground again

Inexhaustible
The strength of fire
Is running through me
Spike like beam of light
What mortal could ever
Break this force
Unconstrained
I see at last
My backbone straighten
Thy serpent made of bones
Finally rise up
From the ground awaken

Beat your feet
On the ground now, go!

802 days

Open for suggestion
Tell me what time it is
Uncertainty kills
(left me flowing)

Time passes slowly
to wait. equals pain
Afraid to fall, crutches clenched
(left me falling)

Kick, hit, scream
Turn around the emptiness
Hold on, release the pain
(let me follow)

Hidden from view, kept safe
Leave the gift of mother
Delivery unknown
(let me fail)

Darkness falls
Sorrow behind. every word
Reality falls apart
(let me feed)

By my hands, torn
By my hands, ripped
By my hands, scarred
But the gesture brought me back to a haltered life

Empty

I´ve been pretty empty lately, so haven´t written much here. But I will try to get better, I promise.

8 days till we leave for Oslo. Got two concerts lined up. First, it´s Gothminister. Haven´t listened much to it, so I hope the show will surprise me. Trail Of Tears are supporting, which I do like. The next day it´s time for Taste of Chaos, with In Flames headlining. 5 bands, one night. Looking forward to Dead by April and Killswitch Engage. What I´ve heard so far is awesome. But it won´t beat In Flames. I even got a Meet & Greet VIP pass, so I´ll get to meet the band! Can´t wait to shake hands with Anders, Bjørn, Daniel, Peter and Neil, and of course Nichlas Engelin. Gonna bring some stuff to get signed. And of course, pre-show meeting at Elm Street. Seeing P00p and Silje agin is gonna be a blast. Love those people.

Right now we have an italian dish brewing in the oven, with garlic baguettes. Omnomnom! Then it´s time for bed, with Ghost Hunters and Mythbusters on the telly.
