Demons

Lyrics: (by Lewis Carroll)

twas brillig, and the slithy toves
did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
all mimsy were the borogoves,
and the mome raths outgrabe.

beware the jabberwock, my son!
the jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
beware the jubjub bird, and shun
the frumious bandersnatch!

he took his vorpal sword in hand:
long time the manxome foe he sought
so rested he by the tumtum tree,
and stood awhile in thought.

and as in uffish thought he stood,
the jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
and burbled as it came!

one, two! one, two! and through and through
the vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
he left it dead, and with its head
he went galumphing back.

and hast thou slain the jabberwock?
come to my arms, my beamish boy!
o frabjous day! callooh! callay!
he chortled in his joy.

twas brillig, and the slithy toves
did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
all mimsy were the borogoves,
and the mome raths outgrabe.

Jabberwocky

Lyrics:

foolish ones, serve my conceit, endure my mistreats
servants you are, my favor you need, too weak to be free

first born sons, chosen you are, off to war!
valiant ones, plow my lands, obey my commands

honest lambs, blameless souls
praised while rebellions fall
for slander the whip, for treason the sword
bow down, subdue to your lord!

anxious ones, where shall you head? whom shall you beg?
bondages are your gain, you're slaves to my reign, my pleasure - your pain

honest lambs, blameless souls
praised while rebellions fall
for slander the whip, for treason the sword
bow down, subdue to your lord

anxious ones!
where shall you head?
whom shall you beg?
too weak to be free!

honest lambs, blameless souls
praised while rebellions fall
for slander the whip, for treason the sword
bow down, subdue to your lord!


Archia

Lyrics:

paralyzed in sudden silence
blackness dazes my mind
the brightest day ends up in darkest night
and the moon chants a soothing lullaby

and we gather under a birch 
and we gather under a birch

what’s life worth?
what’s worth a life?
what will remain as years go by?
what’s life worth?
what’s worth a life?
who’s out to see a new dawn’s light?

and we gather under a birch 
and we gather under a birch

the past among the fallen leafs
the wind is moaning tunes of farewell
weeping souls won’t release
life has crumbled – life can dwell
in some time we'll meet again
although these days we’re sighing low
I will carry on ‘till than
slumbering Mary may know

while we’re gathered under a birch
and we’re gathered under your birch

Under a Birch

Lyrics:

out of darkness i cry to thee: it seems the world around is dying
feeble hands, sallow faces, thy children beg you for salvation

out of darkness, hear my voice, cursing dawn and cursing dusk
days in sorrow, nights in grief, a sighing, roving, lifeless body

we failed to see the shores of ararat
now we're drowning in the sea
my heart is as some famine-murdered land
and all good things have perished utterly

out of darkness i cry to thee
'cause all good things have perished utterly

we failed to see the shores of ararat
now we're drowning in the sea
my heart is as some famine-murdered land
and all good things have perished utterly

out of darkness i arise. i refuse to let it down.
in shadow valleys i fear no evil, for you're with those who help themselves.

(inspired by "E Tenebris" by Oscar Wilde)

Out of Darkness

Lyrics (by Oscar Wilde):

I marvel not Bassanio was so bold
To peril all he had upon the lead,
Or that proud Aragon bent low his head,
Or that Morocco's fiery heart grew cold:

For in that gorgeous dress of beaten gold
Which is more golden than the golden sun,
No woman Veronese looked upon
Was half so fair as thou whom I behold.

Yet fairer when with wisdom as your shield
The sober-suited lawyer's gown you donned
And would not let the laws of Venice yield
Antonio's heart to that accursed Dude*.
O Portia! take my heart; it is thy due:
I think I will not quarrel with bond.

* we changed one word because of ethical reasons

Portia

READ BEFORE YOU HIT FOLLOW!

It’s a little bit weird if the number of followers increases while the number of plays remains constant. The few people I follow are artists that impressed me with their music and style (most of all “Radiofriendly”) and I am following them because I want to be informed whenever they upload new material. I can’t imagine how it might be possible to really follow hundreds of artists or just approve them worthy without listening to one single track. So I won’t waste one single second of my time by listening to a track of someone spending his days randomly clicking “follow” at thousands of profiles just to attract attention.

BIOGRAPHY

Solveris was formerly unknown as “Sons of Light“ and was founded in 2002. We had a regular line-up of six musicians but never managed to get all together at the same time. However, after our drummer and our bass player left in 2004 because of other bands they were playing in, we tried to get along with substitutes. But unfortunately they remained substitutes, and we split up in early 2005.

The band was reborn in late 2011 with Heiko (the first drummer, who was not so busy any more) and Raoul (who played one guitar at Sons of Light) and changed the name to “Solveris” (which means something like “spring sun”). To keep the line-up small, Raoul decided to do the guttural vocals himself (can't be too hard) and Heiko was forced to do some clean tunes while drumming. When Christian, one of the guitarists of “Fenfire”, joined the band as bass player, the line-up was completed.
