★WOODS ETERNAL

Forest green and trees entwined

withered trunks and branches bare

forest young in dancing rain

memories and wisdom rare

Oaks and elms and willows fare

all in different shape and form

some grow tall and some grow small

from an oak a leaf is torn

In the mornings golden light

hold me while the wild winds blow

hold me near and hold me tight

and sometimes let me go

Branches swaying in the wind

stretches up towards the sky

branches bowing to the earth

wondering what yonder lie

Some have shared too little soil

some others grew too bold

others broke in thunderstorms

or froze in wintry cold

In the mornings golden light

hold me while the wild wind blow

hold me near and hold me tight

and sometimes let me go

Lyrics: Janne Hansen

Music: Per Selør

★ROWAN'S SONG

In the beginning place

born of the morning mist

a unicorn in shining light

leaping through the air

Broken free of chains

of emerald blazing fire

lost beneath the sea

held by silvery wings

Tales of ancient times

by lakes of burning blue

fate, will and legends

mingles and comes true

In the beginning place

never to be touched again

near the faires edge

woods of green and gold

Longing to become

a creature of light

moving swiftly through the night

a moment of whispering time

Tales of ancient times

by lakes of burning blue

fate, will and legends

mingles and come true

Lyrics: Janne Hansen

Music: Per Selør

★ELEGY

Do not stand on my grave and weep

I am not there, I do not sleep

I am a thousand winds that blow

I am the diamonds glint on snow

I am the sunlight on ripened grain

I am the gentle autumn's rain

When you awaken in the morning's hush

I am the swift uplifting rush

of quiet birds in circled flight

I am the soft stars that shine at night

Do not stand on my grave and cry

I am not there, I did not die.

部分歌曲歌词

★The Well

By an old drinking well on the grass so green

I lay down and fell into a dream

By a strange mellow sound from a silver eyed bird

I opened my eyes but said no word

On the pathway came walking a woman so bold

Behind her in silence went the old

Ahead ran the children with joyful cries

Their faces were lifted to the skies

The woman's hair was raven and black as the night

Covered with stars shining bright

As they passed by the well I saw that their eyes

Were flaming like many coloured ice

They passed by the well like a breeze pure and clean

Soon they were nowhere to be seen

When I woke up alone on the grass so green

I looked into the well to catch the dream

The water was rising and I felt a chill

I willed the water to be still

There was a face in the mirror like a face out of time

The eyes held a shimmery shine

There was a face in the mirror

and the face wasn't mine

The eyes held a shimmery shine

★Ocean Rose

She was a silent white rose

who lived in a tall iron tower

Barefoot she wandered in her room

dreaming of life and a lover

And in a night she threw a net

into the ocean wide and deep

And some of the things she caught in there

made her sad and made her weep

A fiery warmth embraced her heart

when sunrays caught her hair

And then she looked upon the world

her longing got hard to bear

She was locked in an iron tower

with windows but no doors to be found

Often she listened hard at night

for a voice in the ocean\'s sound

And voices was mingling with her own

waves were singing,flee the tower

By the stairway that takes you down

follow the ocean\'s song my flower

Silent the rose went down

she was shivering in the dark and the cold

Through in an opening in the wall

the ocean sang as fortold

Floating upon the warm blue sea

by the waves to a shore she was led

Among the trees red roses grow

and the white rose turned to red...

THE LAND

(Janne Hansen: lyrics & Per Selör: music)

from the SHINE DIÓN CD "WYN"

The sky is filled with crimson light,

bright with morning fire

When you're waking in the night,

stars will lit the dark

And you know you belong,

you belong to this land

Where the light ever changes the sky

The mountains resting on the land,

all blue and gazing down

When you are climbing to the top,

you make the world your own

And you know you belong,

you belong to this land

where mountains forever will stand

Hear the wind in the trees

and the laughing of the leaves

The sunlight is smiling gold

Hear the wind in the trees

and the laughing of the leaves

The land tells a tale of old

The woodland stretching far and wide,

a thousand shades of green

The trees are holding memories,

in an endless dream

And you know you belong,

you belong to this land

The land is the home of your song
