Stad i ljus

Min resa var mot solen
Långt bortom alla slutna rum
Där allting är oändligt
Och alla gränser har för evigt suddats ut

Jag ville se miraklet
Och höra ord som föder liv
Bli buren av en styrka
Som bara växer när jag anat mitt motiv

Stad i ljus i ett land utan namn
Ge mig liv där allting föds på nytt

Och så när allt förändrats
När tiden inte längre finns
Så ser jag oss tillsammans
Och då är resans slut det enda som vi minns

Stad i ljus i ett land utan namn
Ge mig liv där allting föds på nytt

Stad i ljus i ett land utan namn
Ge… ge mig liv där аllting födѕ på nytt

City of light

My journey was towards the sun
Far away from all the closed rooms
Where nothing ever ends
And where there are no borders anymore

I wanted to see the miracle
And hear the words that give birth to life
I want to be carried by a force
Which will grow stronger when I know what I want

The city of light, in a country without a name
Give me life, where everything is born again

And when everything has changed
When time does no longer exist
I can see the two of us together
And then the end of the journey is all we remember

The city of light, in a country without a name
Give me life, where everything is born again

The city of light, in a country without a name
Give… give me life, where everything iѕ born agаin

Unchained Light

A freezing wind is rising
And morning seems so far away
The shadows are enticing
But yet these eyes are set to see the break of day

A fire still is burning
Beyond the walls of bigotry
This heart still holds a yearning
For yet a barren land to nourish liberty

Unchained light in a time soon to be
Freedom cries that all will be redeemed

And if at times I stumble
And though my dreams are doom and gloom
I know boundaries will tumble
And that our words can know no language if they're true

Unchained light in a time soon to be
Freedom cries that all will be redeemed

Unchained light in a time soon to be
Freedom crieѕ that аll will be redeemed
