Cometen 1834
Lad Verden tee sig nok saa lærd, foruden som forinden,
Naar først Cometen viser sig, den ryger dog af Pinden.
Saa seer man, den er ei solid, men saa er det for silde,
Nu lapser den sig alt for fælt, og derfor gaaer det ilde.
Ja, hører nu, hvordan det gaaer, og hvad der snart vil hænde,
Thi siden faae vi neppe Tid, at see paa Verdens Ende.
— Omtrent naar Tappenstregen slaaer,
Naar Vægteren paa Gaden gaaer,
Og synger høit mod Skyen,
Mens Flyveposten flagrer over Byen,
Da viser sig Cometen stor og rød,
Men hver Mand troer: „O det har ingen Nød,
Den gaaer nok over!"
Selv Byens Magistrat med denne Tanke sover.
— Men ak! Cometen kjender ei til Hvile,
I hvert Minut den løber hundred' Mile;
Den mod vor Jord fremrykker,
Men slaaer os ikke lige strax i Stykker,
Nei, den gjør os en anden stor Fortred,

Bruden i Rørvig Kirke
Klart skinner Maanen paa den nøgne Kyst.
I Præstegaarden er nu Alt saa tyst;
Dog, tyst og stille er det stedse der,
Thi i den øde Egn den ligger her
Paa Tangen, som gaaer langt hist ud i Havet,
Hvor Kirken staaer i Sandflugt halv begravet.
Hvem nærmer sig? — Med stærke Skridt de gaae.
Det er en Skare Mænd med Kapper paa!
Men under Kappen blinker Staalet frem;
Den gamle Præst de gjæste i hans Hjem. -
Alt ryster Porten ved de stærke Slag;
Selv Spurven vækkes under Husets Tag
Og flagrer, bange, fra sin lille Rede,
Til Lyngen paa den sorte Hede.
II
Med Fader-Blik og sølvgraat Haar,
Den gamle Præst nu hos dem staaer;
Men taus som Aander er hver Mand;
De pege mod den nøgne Strand,

The Three Christmas Waits
My name is Pleaceman X;
Last night I was in bed,
A dream did me perplex,
Which came into my Edd.
I dreamed I sor three Waits
A playing of their tune,
At Pimlico Palace gates,
All underneath the moon.
One puffed a hold French horn,
And one a hold Banjo,
And one chap seedy and torn
A Hirish pipe did blow.
They sadly piped and played,
Dexcribing of their fates;
And this was what they said,
Those three pore Christmas Waits:
'When this black year began,
This Eighteen-forty-eight,
I was a great great man,

Chant d'automne (Song Of Autumn)
I
Bientôt nous plongerons dans les froides ténèbres;
Adieu, vive clarté de nos étés trop courts!
J'entends déjà tomber avec des chocs funèbres
Le bois retentissant sur le pavé des cours.
Tout l'hiver va rentrer dans mon être: colère,
Haine, frissons, horreur, labeur dur et forcé,
Et, comme le soleil dans son enfer polaire,
Mon coeur ne sera plus qu'un bloc rouge et glacé.
J'écoute en frémissant chaque bûche qui tombe
L'échafaud qu'on bâtit n'a pas d'écho plus sourd.
Mon esprit est pareil à la tour qui succombe
Sous les coups du bélier infatigable et lourd.
II me semble, bercé par ce choc monotone,
Qu'on cloue en grande hâte un cercueil quelque part.
Pour qui? — C'était hier l'été; voici l'automne!

Lost Love Deliria
AWAKENING
Sleep and slumber, dreams of wonder... weaving,
morning's vacuum broke the spell
Pitted pillow, note of parting... leaving,
'from your friend, a fond farewell'
Sunrise throbbing, twilight aching... grieving,
daydreams, flashbacks, nightmares knell
Pale phantasms, visions sneaking... thieving,
plot to fill the empty shell
12 DELIRIA
1st Delirium: Collapses
Fractured sky bolts, billows bursting... rumbling,
heavens tighten, turn the vise
Horsemen saddle shafts of lightning... tumbling,
jagged highways must suffice
Ruptured skyways, hailstones crackling... crumbling,
naked pearls of paradise

Marts
'Livets Frihed, Jordens Baand,
Kamp imellem Form og Aand.'
*
Mægtigt Vaarens Pulse banke,
Dog er det saa kold en Tid;
See, imellem Form og Tanke
Viser sig den store Strid;
Aaret giver i det Mindre,
Hvad i Secler Verden gav,
Hvad du seer, hvor Stjerner tindre,
Og i Oldtids sjunkne Grav,
Livets Frihed, Jordens Baand,
Kamp imellem Form og Aand.
*
Jorden.
Ton høit i Tidens Kamp mit stolte Qvad!
En Verden være mig mit Nodeblad,
Urbjergene, som dybt grundfæsted' staae,
De er' de sorte Streger, sat' derpaa,

God & Me
If the devil was a man
Then hed probably try to stand between
God and me
He would claim to have translation
For the least communication between
God and me
He would scare my friends and neighbors
Into thinking he was saviour but he
Wont save me
He would use his imposition
To restore the inquisition then hed
Come for me
I never worry about him
Hell never get between
God and me
He would crush me in his vise
Singing hail to jesus christ but he
Wont crush me
With one hand he says brother
Theres an h-bomb in the other but he

Secret Garden
Shell let you in her house
If you come knockin late at night
Shell let you in her mouth
If the words you say are right
If you pay the price
Shell let you deep inside
But theres a secret garden she hides
Shell let you in her car
To go drivin round
Shell let you into the parts of herself
Thatll bring you down
Shell let you in her heart
If you got a hammer and a vise
But into her secret garden, dont think twice
Youve gone a million miles
How fard you get
To that place where you cant remember
And you cant forget
Shell lead you down a path
Therell be tenderness in the air

Party Girl
They say youre nothing but a party girl
Just like a million more all over the world
I know I shouldnt be raising my hopes so high
But I have seen the hungry look in their eyes
Theyd settle for anything in disguise of love
Seen the party girls look me over
Seen em leaving when the partys over
They cant touch me now
You say you dont mind
Were so hard to find
I could give you anything but time
Give it just one more try
Give it a chance
Starts like fascination
Ends up like a trance
Oh youll never be the guilty party girl
Maybe someday we can go hiding from this world
Maybe Ill never get over the change in style
But I dont want to lock you up and say youre mine
Dont want to lose you or say goodbye

Vertigo
Hey guys, turn it up to get sleazy, twist it in a vise.
Nobody said it was easy, just use your naked eyes. (oh)
How to see and how to hide it,
How to save it well...
Maybe, maybe, maybe
You could take it and eat it
Chew your life supply (oh)
Where's the real life, in your illusion
On the dark side - your powers and confusion
Do the dance,
Do the demolition
And lose the chance to hear when you don't listen
Don't you feel edgy?
Bite your lips and bleed.
Conversation is empty,
Abandoned in the freeze.
Freedom is the only condemnation
Free to say well..
Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe -
You can take it or leave it,
