I have been wounded
With a strike to my arm 
While we were still talking
I was falling apart

I'm up by the mountains
Striking a chord
Singing a new song
About a world without war

Now I'm older with nothing
But strings to my arm
My wound has gone sour
And I'm falling apart

It's the Blood of the Mountain
that runs through my heart
It's the Blood of the Mountain
That keeps us apart

Get away, get away and find a better day
Get away, get away and find another day
Cause it makes you feel alone
And it makes me feel alone

It's the Blood of the Mountain
that runs through my heart
It's the Blood of the Mountain
That keeps us apart

Cizzi Pt. 1

I crawl beneath the surface
I hide under the ground
When I look into the mirror
I see a different kind

A different kind of being
Free from state of mind
Holding things together
Like a stone inside behind

Been hording up these memories 
In a place inside my house
A place full of pictures
With peoples eyes cut out

You can see right through them
Like your living within
And holding them together
Like a stone under their skin

There's a young man in the mirror
There's a young man in the crowd
There's a young man now living far from his tribe 
But when he feels like trying
He's blinded by the headlights
The headlights

If you walk along the train-tracks
In the town were i was born
Where the pine trees are talking
And the sons are growing old

If you look high above you
There is a shadow coming in
Filled with whats missing
Stories from within

There's a young man in the mirror
There's a young man in the crowd
There's a young man now living far from his tribe 
But when he feels like trying
He's blinded by the headlights
The headlights

As I walk through the darkness of my youth
Like a young man, Young man
I see the world through the eyes of my youth
Like a Young Man, Young Man

Young Man

Oh, the wind, the wind is coming
Howling through the night
My hand, my fist, my future
Are hanging on a wire

I keep my eyes on the few men
That can´t go under down
But all I find is nothing
But a simple twist of mind

Oh, the wind, the wind is coming
It bends around the trees
Echoes in the distance
Leaves under my feet

And love is like a story 
They tell you once a year
That life, is like an engine
Never to be seen

Tonight I'm like a virgin
To the crooked Christ below
You can find me in the gutter
Laying next to one I know

And the wind, the wind is coming
The shades are caving in
Blown away like ashes
In the everlasting rain
In the everlasting rain

Oh, The Wind

Last night I brought you a ladder
To climb the top of this wall
A wall that was built right between us
All ragged, fragile and tall

Your afraid not to have children
Not to fill your gap from the past
In your dreams life is beginning
To unravel things that could last

But it's me, its me I believe in!
its me im back from dead!
You wear my heart on your shoulder
You wear my heart on your head

The way we are bleeding
When we hunt across the fields
Like horses in the free
We are running..

They say you live with your sister
To hide your lonesome eyes
I'm still lost in your this jungle 
A long lived primitive life

But its me its me i believe in! 
It' s me im back from the dead!
You wear my heart on your shoulder
You wear my heart on your head

The way we are bleeding
When we hunt across the fields
Like horses in the free
We are running..

Let your freedom ride on the back of you
Let your freedom ride with you
Let your freedom ride on the back of you
Let your freedom ride with you




Horses

Armless chair on a wooden floor
Keys hanging from the kitchen door
Leaves outside are almost green
And you worry about where I've been

And we dance to the peace drum
Like we did when we were young
But we never talk about the loss
of a friend

All my clothes are out to dry
Waving in the wind against the sky
Now we stare into the fire
If you listen you can hear the sparkle choir

And we dance to the peace drum
Like we did when we were young
But we never talk about the loss
of a friend

Ooh, oh against the country
Ooh, oh against the country

Here I am on the street to moderation
Here I am on the road to moderation
Here I am on a war on mother nature

Against The Country

The Ship Song (Nick Cave Cover)

The Big Advice (Live)

Varjen (Swedish for "the wolf") is singer-songwriter Niklas Sibelius from Malmoe, Sweden. 'Against The Country' is his second release, here Sibelius is taking his songwriting and production another step. Based around his unassuming guitar work, he creates haunting indie folk tracks with deep lyrics in the veins of Damien Jurado and fellow swede The Tallest Man on Earth. The songs explore themes of broken love, small town boredom and a scattered youth. The title track is a slow minimalistic folk song were Sibelius sings " - And we dance to the peace drum, like we did when we were young" Here he has done extremely well in creating a quintessential folk track with deep lyrics, vulnerable vocals and just enough accompaniment to accentuate his playing to provide all the right highlights.


During the release of the new EP, Varjen was selected artist-of-the week by renowed Swedish webzine Rockfoto:

'Against The Country' is the follow-up of the 2012 self produced EP 'Hardland which included the single 'Shoreline Weeks' it provided Varjen with both a national and international following. It was aired on Swedish national radio (Musikguiden P3) and featured on the Indie Music Reviewer compilation album 2012. Varjen is also currently working on the soundtrack to the TV documentary "Från Andra Sidan Längtan". Hardland EP also opened up the eyes to Rundgång Rekords (This is Head, WiYcked, Kord) a local Indie label looking for new interesting independent music for vinyl releases. Rundgång Rekords really matches the ambition and integrity of this ambitious independent artist and 'Against The Country' has the promise to end up as one of the highlight releases of the year.
