Turn Away 03:07
We went for a ride, stood side by side We walked through the rain You and me, didn't feel any pain And time passed us by, but we didn't cry We had our day, sorry we couldn't fly fly fly away The dreams that you dare to dream (turn turn) could really come true (turn turn) All that you have to do is turn away Open your eyes and see (turn turn) bad times are gone (turn turn) All that you have to do is close your eyes and you will see what I mean Came back from our ride Still side by side Came in from the rain You and me will never feel any pain

I met a lady down the road She said she tried to kiss a toad I said that love can't turn around She is the little girl found She's the little girl found She's the little girl found I left the old, deserted farm With stains of blood on my bare arms I walk in circles through the frost I am the little boy lost I'm the little boy lost I'm the little boy lost Your eyes are fire, my soul is pale You won't get burned by the sun if you stay underground

The years will pass you by Like seasons after seasons But still, I'm by your side You think and think again About the you, you could have been But the past cannot be bent What do you regret more? The things you said or didn't say What do you regret more? The things you did or didn't do The power to do wrong Shall bring you back again To try another way You think of yesterday That once way real to you Will soon be lost and gone What do you regret more? The things you said or didn't say What do you regret more? The things you did or didn't do
5.
Time and time you know it stands still When you hold me with a holder's will And I fall fall fall, for years and years For years I fall like your tears I just I just can't help help thinking that this edition will be a reprise of a thousand frequent heroic poems that melted your cold heart And I fall fall fall, for years and years For years I fall like your tears Now I know that you feel afraid When I call you by your secret name And I also know that when you smile You stop the time for awhile And I fall fall fall, for years and years For years I fall like your tears
6.
I've lived so many years And sometimes wondered why I dream a thousand dreams I cry so many tears When I lay down to rest Six feet underground I've got to ask me why I never did my best We melt like snow Hopeless and slow So close your eyes and tell me gently winter has gone by Hopeless and slow I want you to be here when I go Across the morning sky We sang our lonesome tune You told me I was free But still I wonder why
7.
You know you got your life to blame for everything You know you won’t be there when they wake the ancient king Your lonesome troubled years, will end when he appears But you won’t be alone, no you won’t be denied A million trillion stars will shine right by your side And you will dance and sing with the universe in spring Your lucky star will shine, when you’re free from the divine But you won’t be alone, no you won’t be denied A million trillion stars will shine right by your side And you will dance and sing with the universe in spring Your lucky star will shine, when you’re free from the divine

I Am Life 03:54
I light a fire, over the sea So the unknown can see me I burn my fire, yellow and bright They might think I am the morning light I whisper words, under the sky So you can kiss your dreams goodbye I make up plans, forevermore They might think they heard them once before My light is out my words are gone No one really sung along I had my dream, but you were right I think that I just might die tonight I am life I am life I am life I am life

You blue, good merciful heaven Where is your entrance, where is your door? I saw her dancing with the shadow of light I saw her building a bridge across the land I never thought she could make it I never thought she could break me You blue, good merciful heaven Where is your entrance, where is your door? No time for laughing while we burn our bones No time for living in these modern days I couldn’t ask for more I’m stuck in the planets core You blue, good merciful heaven Where is your entrance, where is your door?

about

A long long time ago, the Swedish band Alabaster started to record their third album. But something happened, or actually, something didn't happen. No one really knows why, but both the recordings and the band slowly faded into obscurity and vanished from people's minds. For a long time, the unfinished album was just a legend among the few hardest hardcore fans.

But then in 2020, something happened again. The recordings where accidentally found on a dusty hard drive in a garage. A spark was lit, and the band decided to get together and finish what they started almost two decades ago. The old recordings were kept, and new ones were added. So now, after all these years, Alabaster proudly present the (finished) album "Unfinished Songs".
