[Dedicated to Hannah Stjé‹œnvind]



Alone I sit, I wonder why

You dream of love and so do I

But in your sleep you cannot see

This pain which is always haunting me

What I need I'll never feel

This world is for me unreal

So I drink to darkness with a candle lit

And through the whole night alone I sit



The sleeping beauty

She stops the bleeding

She stops the bleeding in my soul

She is fresh air in this stinking world



The more I drink, the more I see

That suicide could be the key

To the place called paradise

Where pain not dwells, not hate nor lies

But if I look beyond all this

I reckon something I would surely miss

Because in my dreams I rule my life

And the sleeping beauty is my wife



The sleeping beauty

She stops the bleeding

She stops the bleeding in my soul

She is fresh air in this stinking world
