"My Snare"
(also known as "Nature Is Ancient")

"My Snare"
(also known as "Nature Is Ancient")



It's bright in the middle
With a shell around it
It's called life

It goes wherever it wants to
Don't try to predict it
Then you'd offend it
It's meant to surprise

Nature is ancient, but surprises us all
Nature is ancient, but surprises us all, all, all

Rescue me
From level-headedness
An unnecessary luxury of being calm

Nature is ancient, but surprises us all
Nature is ancient, but surprises us all

She's got dark hairs on her head
And blood on her arms
She sneaks up from behind
Come on - you deserve it!

Nature is ancient, but surprises us all
Nature is ancient, but surprises us all
Nature is ancient, but surprises us all
Nature is ancient, but surprises us all

Nature is ancient
So ancient
Nature is ancient
Ancient

"My Spine"
(feat. Evelyn Glennie)

"My Spine"
(feat. Evelyn Glennie)



I adore
Back of necks
Beautifully shaven

Gives me
Always, always, always, always...
A pretty rush down my spine

All those boys
With fascinating fingers
Working creating
Touching their tools

Gives me
Always, always, always, always...
A pretty rush down my spine

Tell me stories
Play me the tunes
That cracked you up

Gives me
Always, always, always, always...
A pretty rush down my spine-HA!

"Náttúra"

"Náttúra"


Allt sem hann leiðir
Allt sem hann fleygði
Allt sem hann fleygði
Náttúra!

Ekkert tekur
Ég tekur því
Náttúra!

Ég tekur því
Ég þagði
Því

Virka
Aftast
Heldur
Upp vitund
Tilraunina

Allt sem við lendir
Allt sem við lendir
Ala mér
Náttúra!

Ekkert tekur
Ég tekur því
Ég tekur því
Ég tekur því
Ég tekur því
Ég tekur því
Náttúra!

"New World"

"New World"


Train-whistles, a sweet clementine
Blueberries, dancers in line
Cobwebs, a bakery sign

Ooooh - a sweet clementine
Ooooh - dancers in line
Ooooh ...

If living is seeing
I'm holding my breath
In wonder - I wonder
What happens next?
A new world, a new day to see

I'm softly walking on air
Halfway to heaven from here
Sunlight unfolds in my hair

Ooooh - I'm walking on air
Ooooh - to heaven from here
Ooooh ...

If living is seeing
I'm holding my breath
In wonder - I wonder
What happens next?
A new world, a new day to see

"Notget"

"Notget"


Once you fell out of love
Our love couldn't carry you
And I didn't even notice
For our love
Kept me save from death

You doubted the light
And the shelter it can give
For in love we are immortal
Eternal and safe from death

If I regret us
I'm denying my soul to grow
Don't remove my pain
It is my chance to heal

After our love ended
Your arms don't carry me
Without love I feel the abyss
Understand your fear of death

We carry the same wound
But have different cures
Similar injuries
But opposite remedies

I will not forget
This notget
Will you not regret
Having love let go

After our love ended
Your spirit entered me
Now we are the guardians
We keep her safe from death

Love will keep us safe from death

"Oceania"

"Oceania"


One breath away from mother Oceanðòa
Your nimble feet make prints in my sands
You have done good for yourselves
Since you left my wet embrace
And crawled ashore
Every boy, is a snake is a lily
Every pearl is a lynx, is a girl
Sweet like harmony made into flesh
You dance by my side
Children sublime
You show me continents
I see islands
You count the centuries
I blink my eyes
Hawks and sparrows race in my waters
Stingrays are floating
Across the sky
Little ones, my sons and my daughters
Your sweat is salty
I am why
I am why
I am why
Your sweat is salty
I am why
I am why
I am why

"Óliver"

"Óliver"


[Icelandic:]

Í Valhöll til fórna fagran dreng
þeir færðú fjötra í
þeir neglð'ann svo hátt á krýsukross
Og þeir kölluð'ann þræla þý

Óliver - kæri
Óliver - mæri
Óliver - nú rakna þín bönd
Óliver - ljúfi
Óliver - prúði
Óliver - nú skjálfa öll lönd

Enginn mun skilja þrautir þær
Er þola mátti hann
Hann gerði það fyrir mig og þig
Fyrir allan sannleikann

Óliver - kæri...

Sál þínn er heimur and'og álfa
Hinn fyrsti og síðasti
Kjarninn í hugum mannanna sjálfra
þú gafst þeim vísindi - óh, óh, óh

Stóðst eins og máttarstólpi stinnur
Sterkur á svellinu
Nú heyrast mun hátt í skýjunum
Á helgafellinu

Óliver - þú færð sígurlaun
þú færð sígurlaun
þó köld sé þín hönd

Óliver - þú færð sígurlaun
þú færð sígurlaun
Mín elskandi ónd - brjóttú böndin nú!

Óliver - kæri...

[English:]

In Valhalla a long time ago a beautiful boy
They put in chains
They nailed him so high upon a cross
And they called him a slave

Oliver - lovely
Oliver - glorious
Oliver - your bonds are untied now
Oliver - pleasant
Oliver - modest
Oliver - all the lands quiver now

No one will understand the trials that
He had to endure
He did it for me and you
For all the truth

Oliver - lovely...

You soul is home to spirit and elves
the first and the last
The essence is in the minds of the men themselves,
You gave them the knowledge - oh, oh, oh

Piled like a rigid stack of power
Strong on the ice
You can hear high in the skies now
About your legend

Oliver - you get your victorious reward
You get your victorious reward
Though your hand is cold

Oliver - you get your victorious reward
You get your victorious reward
My beloved hand - break the ties now!

Oliver - lovely...

around the volcano
with the eruption that never lets you down

and the beautifullest
fireworks are burning
in the sky just for you

i can feel it

one day

"Pabbi Minn"


Ó, pabbi minn
Hve undursamleg ást þin var
Ó, pabbi minn
þú avalt tókst mitt svar

Aldrei var neinn
svo ástuðlegur eins og þú

Ó, pabbi minn

Leikandi kátt
þú lékst þer a þínn hátt

Ó, pabbi minn
Hve undursamleg ást þín var
Æskunnar ómar

Liðin er tid
er leiddir þú mig lítið barn
Brósandi blitt

Ó, pabbi minn
eg dáði þína léttu lund
Leikandi kátt

Ó, pabbi minn
Hve undursamleg ást thin var
Æskunnar ómar

"Pagan Poetry"

"Pagan Poetry"


Pedalling through
The dark currents
I find
An accurate copy
A blueprint
Of the pleasure
In me

Swirling black lilies totally ripe
A secret code carved
Swirling black lilies totally ripe
A secret code carved

He offers
A handshake
Crooked
Five fingers
They form a pattern
Yet to be matched

On the surface simplicity
But the darkest pit in me
It's pagan poetry
Pagan poetry

Morsecoding signals (signals)
They pulsate (wake me up) and wake me up
(pulsate) from my hibernating

On the surface simplicity
Swirling black lilies totally ripe
But the darkest pit in me
It's pagan poetry
Swirling black lilies totally ripe
Pagan poetry

Swirling black lilies totally ripe

I love him, I love him
I love him, I love him
I love him, I love him
I love him, I love him
She loves him, she loves him

This time
She loves him, she loves him
I'm gonna keep it to myself
She loves him, she loves him
She loves him, she loves him
This time
I'm gonna keep me all to myself
She loves him, she loves him
And he makes me want to hand myself over
She loves him, she loves him
She loves him, she loves him
And he makes me want to hand myself over
