Away in a Manger

Rows of windows all breathing in the dust
I can feel their cold light watching us
All these days, they fall in motion
All these days, we learn to carry stone
Then bleed out again
Then bleed out

This mirror will, will not reflect me right
It forgets the name I held last night
Drink red fourty, hold the silence
Before we all return beneath the stone
Then bleed out again
Then bleed out

Cracked bones, every limb
Burning bright and then goes dim,
Tastless dreams,and grinding teeth
Cut my feet on a jagged reef

All these days, they fall in motion
All these days, we learn to carry stone
Then bleed out again
Then bleed out

We bury our names in love
We bury our names in love

Jagged Reef

Lucky You Babe

[Verse 1]
You said I light up a room
just before it burns down
that I move like a song
that leaves you torn and spellbound

I laugh like someone
who’s never lost a thing—
but babe each smile
pulls a string

[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve got a kiss like luck
and a trail of ash behind
you think you found a treasure
but I’m the warning kind

[Chorus]
So lucky you babe
to catch the eye of a storm
you danced with the cursed
and thought you could stay warm

Lucky you babe
betting hearts like dice
but I’ve never held onto
a good thing twice

[Verse 2]
I wear charm like perfume
to cover the past
I touch like summer
but I leave like a frost

People fall in love
with the idea of me
’til they realize
I don’t come free

[Pre-Chorus]
My hands are gentle
but they’ve let go too soon
my promises are poems
read best under a darkened moon

[Chorus]
So lucky you babe
to trace the lines of a myth
I kiss like I’m holy
but I’m more ghost than gift

Lucky you babe
just another star-crossed fool
but I told you from the start—
I don’t play by the rules

[Bridge – spoken]
If love was a venture
you played with loaded dice
thinking I was the prize
not the price

[Final Chorus]
Lucky you babe
to say you had me once
but luck don’t last
when it burns that bright
for too long

Lucky you—
but it’s still just
bad luck
that others call love

Lucky You Babe

Dear friends - Chlorophyll is also our friend - it absorbs carbon dioxide and uses sunlight to make wood. Scientists are increasingly emphasizing the importance of preserving the greenery on Earth. Trees also provide shade, coolness and retain moisture in the soil. Trees are the climate's friend! At the same time, I would like to tell you what my grandfather taught me: chew each bite at least ten times so you don't get fat and have no stomach problems - and - save on electricity!!

Quietly the River Flows

Quietly the river flows under the green embrace 
of the willow trees whose leaves are moving with the wind
and birds like to catch all the flies swarming around here
and under the trees a lot of children have
gathered here to learn
all to know about our nature

They all lose their breath when they see the greenery
over the stream that sparkles by the morning sun
they enjoy their life and they can’t understand why
that not everyone are able to see this 
wonderful show
that are created for all of us

And they listen to the words given from their teacher
that say how it is when everything is falling down
how nature react - during the years that lie ahead of us 
it is magical how - nature swallow all the
carbon dioxide 
that we people have let out in the world
It is a magical sight to see these green leaves here

Lyrics in Swedish

Tyst flyter floden

Tyst flyter floden under den gröna famnen
av pilträden vars löv rör sig med vinden
och fåglar gillar att fånga alla flugor som svärmar omkring här
och under träden har många barn
samlats här för att lära sig
allt att veta om vår natur

De tappar alla andan när de ser grönskan
över bäcken som glittrar i morgonsolen
de njuter av sitt liv och de kan inte förstå varför
att inte alla kan se denna
underbara show
som är skapad för oss alla

Och de lyssnar på orden från sin lärare
som säger hur det är när allt faller ner
hur naturen reagerar - under de år som ligger framför oss
det är magiskt hur - naturen sväljer all
koldioxid
som vi människor har släppt ut i världen
Det är en magisk syn att se dessa gröna löv här

Streams

Wonderful Land

don't you forget about me

Fading Behind Me

[Verse 1]
I walked the shoreline
barefoot against the wind
sand caught in every silence
waves too tired to even begin

The tide held its breath again
not a promise not a wish
just the calm between each moment
and the sound that never came

[Chorus]
Footprints fading behind me
gone before they reach the sea
I let the wind decide
where I end
where I used to be

[Verse 2]
Loneliness didn’t misbehave
it sighed and turned away
left a warmth I couldn’t handle
and was never meant to keep

The salt air held too many secrets
the sky looked the other way
I kept walking like it mattered
but the ground forgot me anyway

[Chorus]
Footprints fading behind me
like a face no one remembers
I let the wind decide
what to keep
what to leave

[Bridge]
There is no one on the beach now
just the cold
and my retreat
no answers in the tide
just the way it pulls from me

[Final Chorus]
Footprints fading behind me
not even shadows want to stay
I let the wind decide
and it took you away
and it took you away

Fading Behind Me

Xak Stahl is a genre-blurring music artist, sonic storyteller, and relentless experimenter. Every track he creates is a new world—a kaleidoscope of indie folk, alt-pop, electronica, and global flavors—infused with raw emotion and boundless curiosity. Xak’s music isn’t just heard; it’s felt.

From Shadow to Spotlight

For Xak, music is metamorphosis. His journey began in the shadows, transmuting heartbreak and struggle into songs that glow with hope. Early anthems like “Neon Dreams” and “Rising Through the Darkness” invite listeners to find their own light. His newest project, Major Arcana, channels the mysteries of the Tarot—each song an archetype, each lyric a step along the path from the Fool’s first leap to the wisdom of The World.

More Than Music: A Multisensory Universe

But Xak isn’t confined to sound. As a visual artist and writer, he crafts immersive stories that spill across genres and languages—sometimes haunting, sometimes playful, always honest. Whether he’s conjuring lush soundscapes, weaving bilingual lyrics, or creating striking visuals, Xak’s art dares you to feel deeper and dream wilder.

An Invitation to Transformation

Join Xak Stahl on a sonic odyssey that blurs borders—between genres, between artforms, between you and the music. Each release is an invitation to explore, to heal, to become. For Xak, every song is a spell, every album a universe. The only question is: are you ready to step inside?
