Ritual Noise

We make ritual noise
Wired to the world under our fingertips
We take special care
Listen to the words spoken in confidence
We make ritual noise
Shouting to be heard
Cooling our burning lips
We break down the gates
Open up our wounds
Bleeding for innocence

We make ritual noise
We weave the fabric of dreams
We build cities of sound
We feel the rhythm of time
We live dangerous lives
We have the power of will
We twist logic around
We feed the engines of change

Pulse

I'm falling out of cars
Don't know when I'll hit the ground
Hold me when I fall
Headlights in my face
My body's full of scars
Words are lost and won't be found

Stay until I'm gone
Stumbling on my knees
I'm dancing in the dark
Shrinking cities feel the sound
Hear the silent hum
Searchlights in the skies
I'm blinded by the stars
There is darkness all around
Hold me when I cry
Those were all my days

I'm falling out of cars
Hanging on the windscreen
Blinded by the headlights
I'm killing ground
I'm dancing in the dark
Stumbling on the highway
Guided by the city lights
I'm lost and found

I'm falling out of cars
Don't know when I'll hit the ground
Hold me when I fall
Headlights in my face
I'm dancing in the dark
Shrinking cities feel the sound
Hear the distant hum
Searchlights in my eyes
I never took the time
I should have told you then
I never found the time

Happy Man

I don't love anyone
No, I just want my fun
I'm a happy man
Yes, I'm a happy man

Brave New World

The earth is shaking down below our feet
We move in wonder and we generate the beat
Our blood is boiling
Wonderful in heat
We glow like embers dancing in the dark

Where is the promised land?
Where is the brave new world?
Where do all dreams go when they die?
We can move the streets today

The lights are fading out before our eyes
We lose each other and we celebrate the peace
Our lives are changing faster than we think
We flow like dancers crashing in the dark

Another morning broken
Shattered sheets of lead
Clouds the size of oceans
Inside and above our heads



Lyrics: Joakim Montelius

The Men

We are the men
Silent and cold

Beautiful eyes
Sheep among wolves

We are the men
Silent and strong



Lyrics & Music: Eskil Simonsson









Sweet & Salty

Sweet and salty
Tears of joy
Liquid lies
Cheeks on fire
Loud and noisy
Girls and boys
Ancient rites
Late at night
Counting every second
We refuse to go
Counting every second
We will never die


Lyrics: Joakim Montelius
Music: Eskil Simonsson







Greater Than The Sun

Ladies and gentlemen
lights are going out
Let's step outside and watch the city sleep
Listen and remember
Wait another day
We are explorers far away from home
Stay for just a moment
Watch the natives dance
Be civilized and kiss the pretty bride

Brothers and sisters
the pain is gone for now
Let's burn our books
And find a little peace sooner or later
We walk another day
We are colliders everywhere we go
Stay for just a car crash
Know your heart is weak
Be primitive and wave your love goodbye

Ladies and gentlemen
lights are going out
Let's step outside and watch the city sleep
Preachers and sinners, we are all the same
Let's save ourselves and drink
from deeper wells
Hatred and compassion wail against the walls
We are invaders trying to escape
Fight for just a lifetime
Count the moments lost
Be so alive and cry as time goes by

We are greater than the sun



Lyrics: Joakim Montelius

20 hz

I ride the morning train
People come and go
So many different faces as the city
passes by
I watch their tired eyes

Journeys never made
Broken dreams of leaving
Fill the streets with dust
This is our final journey
It's the end of the line

Constantly in transit
We just want to go home

The rain that falls for weeks
Painting pictures on the streets
Twisted stars beneath my feet
I cruise the crowd

I could be one of them
Going back and forth
Between familiar places as my
blood turns cold

I watch with gypsy eyes
Secrets never told
Stolen years of yearning turn their
tears to dust



Lyrics: Joakim Montelius

Spindrift

I don't know how I ended up here
On this frozen, nameless shore
I remember nothing of the journey
And there is no one else around

I go down across the towering dunes
To watch the seagulls glide above
So graceful when they are silent
Like lonely white ghosts in the air

I notice they are all unique
With faces that are all their own
Born to kiss the turbulent sky
Before they collapse and die

As I look and dream myself away
A sound grows lound enough to hear
Like disembodied friendly voices
Carried on by south-bound winds

I wake up to the sound of silence
Their words are faint and far away

Like the finest spray of water
They still speak of things I know

I turn to fix my eyes on the horizon

And I face teh freezing gale
I observe the majestic white waves
As they rise and break and fall

While they rise into the wild wind
It picks them up before it strikes
Steals away their urgent faces
Lifts their spirits to the skies

And their language is soft and broken
But still I understand it well
We talk about the ones we care for
And of all the things we lost



Lyrics: Joakim Montelius

The World Is Growing Loud

The world is growing loud
It's time for us to fade to gray
I wish they'll let us stay

The lights are going out
We knew we had to go one day
I wish they'll take us in

The skies are falling down
Too late for us to change our minds
I wish they'll keep us safe

The times are changing fast
We knew we wouldn't last this long
I hope they'll keep the pace
