Waterboarded Demo

Work in progress.
The song is loosely based on Player Unknowns Battlegrounds (PUBG) and movies like Hunger Games or Battle Royale.

Think a gameshow where a hundred people fight to the death.

Kill or be killed Demo

Christmas Contract Demo

One of the first songs I wrote. Most of it was done on a 1 hour train-ride going to a friends 40th birthday party.

Lyrics:

#Verse
War, it's never pretty
War you never really leave it
War, every day becomes a bore

Life, you struggle with your life
Argue with your wife
Cause your head is still back in the fight

Broken mind
You left a piece behind

#Chorus
The casualties of war
Trapped inside the void

Not the ones who died
They are the ones that got out alive

Prisoners of war
Stare into the void


#Verse
Sleep not getting any sleep
Tired of counting sheep
The mental scars they run to deep

Pain biting through the pain
Nothing more to gain
And every day is just the same

Broken mind
You left a piece behind

#Chorus
The casualties of war
Trapped inside the void

Not the ones who died
They are the ones that got out alive

The prisoners of war
Stare into the void


The hopelessness
There's nothing to be done
Staring down the barrel of a gun


You've tried it all
There's nothing like before

There's no other cure
So you sign up for another tour

#Chorus
The casualties of war
Trapped inside the void

Not the ones who died
They are the ones that got out alive

The prisoners of war
Stare into the void

Prisoners Of War Demo

Lyrics

Got no reason to remember
But it's etched into my mind
To see the man that was my hero melt away like ice in sun

I was hoping you would make it
But I knew it was too late
And at 5 am next morning there's a call I can't forget

Was like my world came crashing down
I was falling, through the ground

It gets easier with time they say
Don't think I understand
It's like a hole the size of you is filled with concrete, lead and sand

There are times when I forget it
Even when I'm on my own
Then it hits me like a hammer and I remember that you're gone

I see your face in every crowd 
Then a stranger, turns around

I still see you in my dreams
So alive, it feels so real
hear your laughter in my sleep
Memories I aim to keep

When the nighttime turns to day
You start to fade away
Why can't you stay
I miss you every single day

I've spent a thousand days of missing you
And thousands more to come
I guess they were right it's getting easier the pain is almost gone

I'll focus on the good things
Let the sad times come to end
And never I'm forgetting you, my father, mentor, friend

Ohh, it's so clear to see
You're the reason I exist, and the man I came to be

I still see you in my dreams
So alive, it feels so real
hear your laughter in my sleep
Memories I aim to keep

When the nighttime turns to day
You start to fade away
Why can't you stay
I miss you every single day

Losing you I lost my grip
I used to cry myself to sleep

But now I've found my way again
I cherish all the time we had
Instead of being sad

Wipe my tears away

I still see you in my dreams
So alive, it feels so real
hear your laughter in my sleep
Memories I aim to keep

When the nighttime turns to day
You start to fade away
Why can't you stay
I miss you every single day

You'll live forever in my dreams
And I know that's all there is
I know you can't stay here with me

Dreams

Lyrics


We go through life
Dance to someone else's tune 
and smile
I think it's time to rise

No self esteem
Herded left or right
We're like machines
With carbon copy minds

Conform, comply
Don't rock the boat
and stay in line
these are things they say to keep us down

Collective mind
That guy stands out
Let's take him down
A victim to a faceless mindless crowd
 
Let's open up our eyes


And break free from the mold
forget all you've been told
a personal revolt

Stand up take control
Raise your head up high stand tall

With your back against the  wall
It's time to fight or fall

Stand up take control
Raise your head up high stand tall
Raise your head up high stand tall



Devoid of pride, always
follow someone else 
Or try to hide
That's how opinions go to die

Our heads bowed down, going
down a darkened path
Like we are blind
I say it's time to turn around

Accepted crime
He's not like us
We should be fine
Let's strip him of his dignity and rights

Ignore the lies
They're all around
And buzz like flies
They're crawling in, poisoning our minds 

Let's open up our eyes


And break free from the mold
forget all you've been told
a personal revolt

Stand up take control
Raise your head up high stand tall

With your back against the wall
It's time to fight or fall

Stand up take control
Raise your head up high stand tall
Raise your head up high stand tall



In a world where fake is norm
We all transform
To gutless yes-man whores 

Maybe you don't want to change your views
Want to be a sheep
And continue the abuse 

I don't wanna be a part of that
Let's show some balls 
Fucking time to take it back 

Come to terms with who you want to be
Just a nodding tool 
Or somebody that is free


And break free from the mold
forget all you've been told
a personal revolt

Stand up take control
Raise your head up high stand tall

With your back against the  wall
It's time to fight or fall

Stand up take control
Raise your head up high stand tall
Raise your head up high stand tall

Stand Tall

Lyrics: 

For thousands of years you've left bodies in your wake
The voice of reason trapped behind a veil
Like burning wretched witches at the stake
All because a fucking fairy tale


Behold the Grandeur Of Delusion
Worshipping a god you've never seen
Although you're riddled with confusion
There's no answer in the sky for you or me


The poison in your mind has run its course
You murder innocents without remorse
They're all just faggots infidels and whores
You're blinded by your vile and hateful thoughts


Behold the Grandeur Of Delusion
Killing for a god you've never seen
Although you're riddled with confusion
There's no answer in the sky for you or me


You're brainwashed and swallowed all the lies
Think it justifies the virtue of your strife
And when you die, imagine the surprise
No afterlife, no virgin paradise


Behold the Grandeur Of Delusion
Dying for a god that's never been
Although you're riddled with confusion
There's no answer in the sky for you or me

G.O.D

Lyrics: 

Ser du mannen ner på gatan 
Tomma ögon dimmig blick
Vinterstorm och kallt som satan
Och han drömmer om det liv han aldrig fick

45 år på fabriken
Inte fan var det nåt värt
När pensionen blev för liten
Hhan förlorade allting han nån'sin ägt

Snart så tystnar musiken
Om han inte får nån sovplats i natt
Hans ögon skriker


Ser du mig
Jag gömmer mig av skam
Men kan du 
Se på mig
Snälla ta min hand
Ser du mig
Jag drunknar här på land   
Och kan du hjälpa nån som mig 
Sträck ut din hand
Till en vålnad utan namn


Det går en kvinna på Centralen
Smutsigt hår, omaka skor
Och alla tror att hon är galen
När hon släpar på kartongen där hon bor

Med trötta ögon, grå som aska
Röker hon en cigarett
Hon söker värmen i en flaska
Ett liv på gatan, det är svårt på alla sätt

De som lockas ned under ytan
Har det inte lika lätt att ta sig upp
Hon vill bara skrika


Ser du mig
Jag gömmer mig av skam
Men kan du 
Se på mig
Snälla ta min hand
Ser du mig
Jag drunknar här på land   
Och kan du hjälpa nån som mig 
Sträck ut din hand
Till en vålnad utan namn

Vi blundar för allt, tar allt för givet
Det finns ingen masterplan
Inga garantier

Plötsligt en dag när ditt liv är i ruiner
Så är det du som står och skriker

Ser du mig
Jag gömmer mig av skam…..

Ser du mig
Jag gömmer mig av skam
Men kan du 
Se på mig
Snälla ta min hand
Ser du mig
Jag drunknar här på land
Och vill du hjälpa nån som mig
Sträck ut din hand
Till en vålnad utan namn

Vålnad utan namn

Got my first guitar end of October 2017, been learning to play the guitar and mixing/mastering since then.
