Something silent (Live band Recording- "Met"- Norway)
I went to Norway recently to meet Geir and Jim and Mike for a Weekend of Music.

We have never played Live together, and this was the First Time.
I wrote the Song a couple of days before the trip..

-Lyrics-
Something silent reachin’ in
From the moment it begins
Let’s you think the edge is middle ground
And nothin’ wins the day
Stunnin’ souls rest immunized
Against the fibres of this life
From the light that tries to creep on in
But not the coldest night
Nothin’ left inside the shell
Just the armour left to tell
What was here before and nothin’ more
These wares are yet to sell
This ain’t life as we prescribed
All the beats have passed us by
Still we seek a note to lead us on
A stick to keep our time
Screamin’ soundless rage inside
What you feel is what you hide
I will call again another day
When you can hear your cries
Stubburn stains revealed inside
Takes the sparkle from their eyes
Never seen, so we can’t clean them up
Or burn them in the fire
Nothin’ left inside the shell
Just the armour left to tell
Who I was here before and nothin’ more
These wares are yet to sell
Secret safe reclusive isle
Sunless shores roll intertwined
With icy seas that came on in
And won’t go out again
Stop, succeed, renew, ignite
Make your mind up, stand and fight
Feed the power back into your life
A fire blazin’ bright
Nothin’ left inside the shell
Just the armour left to tell
Who I was here before and nothin’ more
These wares are yet to sell
These wares are yet to sell
These wares are yet to sell
These wares are yet to sell
