Painted Romans image collage Mats and Jan Ottar playing

Beyond the Gate

Fall in awe
Fall in awe
Break a bone
Fall alone
Close the eyes
And lipsync
Movements my own
On the streets
Of anguish
Lights shine so low
Late at night
All too late
I peek through the gate

At something
To watch and desire
Something
Behold and desire
Something
So cold in my eye
Let me behold it
In peace

When I turn
See a past
Reflection
Move fast
When the bells
Are ringing
When the leaves amass
When the sight
Of comfort
When the staring gaze
When the time
For Heaven's sake
I join in the wake

Of something
To watch and desire
Something
Behold and desire
Something
So cold in my eye
Let me behold it
In peace

Let me
Behold it
