Seigmen

Klisne Seigmenn har sitt opphav fra Tønsberg og spilte sin første konsert i 1989. Før de slapp sin første utgivelse skiftet de navn til Seigmen.

Mer enn 35 år senere har gruppa på nytt plassert seg på kartet med trippel albumutgivelse, nominasjon til spellemann, og ikke minst konserter fra nord til sør.

Give

Come in to my arms
Leap in to my mind
I clothe the naked
Give eyes to the blind

The guilded youth of all
are dancing wildly
The air is a bloodred stream
flickering - formed by thousand lights
The world's going down
The world's going to the Devil
So come on down to Metropolis

Come in to my arms
Leap in to my mind
I clothe the naked
Give eyes to the blind

(Tilgi oss for vi vet ikke hva vi gjør)

Anything you want - you'll get
But not from me I've always known
That what tomorrow brings is not enough for you
You want promises I can't keep
You want the dreams out of my sleep
You haunt the dreams out of my sleep
So come on - see for yourself
I've got nothing to hide
And I don't care
If I have to step aside and let you be the one
to stop The beat of my heart
As long as there is mountain to move
I will have earth as my talent
and the universe as a weakness
So tell the fly on the wall
that I will stay
I will stay below the Milky Way
and tell them what I have to say
That I will stay for just one more day
So anything you want - you will get
but not from the foetus of my mind never

Come in to my arms
Leap in to my mind
I clothe the naked
Give eyes to the blind

Like a pearl in the ocean
I promised you the earth
I cut the hand that feeds me
I'll cut the frost below my feet
And I'll give fear to the brave
I'll cut the frost below my feet
And I'll tell you where the rain will fall
And I'll tell you why the bedroom is so cold

Come in to my arms
Leap in to my mind
I clothe the naked
Give eyes to the blind

P-Machinery

On joyless lanes we walk in lines
a calm but steady flow.
Accompanied by loud commands
our strength is running low.

Another hope feeds another dream
another truth installed by the machine.
A secret wish the marrying of lies
today comes true what common sense denies.

Rotating wheels of destiny inflame the city lights.
Machines call out for followers far out into the night.
The calls of the machines drowning in the steam.

Installed by the machine

Another hope
another dream
another truth
installed by the machine
A secret wish the marrying of lies
today you find is true what common sense denies.

Installed by the machine, feeds another dream
Installed by the machine, drowning in the steam
Installed by the machine

Installed by the machine

Octopus

Alive under water I breathe into straws
I swim under water - a swimming horse
Alone under water
I walk under water
I sleep under water at night
I cry under water
I fly under water
I'm safe under water at night
I swim - I swim - I am

I walk under water
I've made up my mind
I will walk under water untill I shine
To be like another
Turn water to wine
What I see of the surface
is what I read between the lines

I tried to kill myself
Now I shine
v Awake under water
I will stay under water 'till I drop
I'm alive
I'm alone at last

Toys

In your memory there are words unspoken
In your memory there is a silence broken
And if there is a sky where the angel meets the ghost
And if there is a God
I am the one to hurt you the most

The thousand house of Christ
I will try to understand
A million times - a million toys
Love you need - there's a choice

In your silence of your violence of your adolescent desire
As I can see - you're still here
And you pretend to be
As I can see - you're still here
And we are meant to be

In Oblivion

There is a train on its way to Rome today
I travel - I ride the tide
I travel - I walk the world
I travel - I crawl the field
I travel - I climb the top
This bird has flown
It all ends in oblivion

How does it feel left alone?
How does it feel to be unknown?
I travel around
I travel alone
I travel beneath
I travel beyond
This bird has flown

I make love
I make angels
I make room
I make it happen
I make wishes
I refuse to take your drugs again

It all ends
