Feather hooves Hammer down For the sake Of her safe return To sanctuary grounds Long before the wretched She left to tend To fearful woodlands yonder While time was short Tell these lands Growing vast Ancient hosts Make clear her path To sanctuary grounds

Shadow Tree 03:39
Felt The breath of your shadow tree You remain Loyal as always Pledged guardian of the kingdom While none beneath You were close to the spirit Hand before the sermon mouth Hear the earth tremble my brother Held New light in your sacred crown Oh soon for their pleasures Tearing up the truth By shame forbidden So you were banished Hand before the sermon mouth Calm your thrashing mind Hear the earth tremble my brother Herald sun Morning ember Your crown to sway Nothing withheld

Few are the vast maroon Thus forlorn The lowly left Pale hands towards the sun Armor for the robes Shepherd’s finger flare No solace in thirst Dare the sway of tongue Ornament the trees Faith in the blinded glance Woe the vulgar devilry Wash clean the ashen face Fleshed out by the olden Four paths Together one No blade to mind Dare the worn out writ Bursting Born again One hand to turn the page The other to live out the word Together all maroon
4.
Through grave Once name beloved Sift patience From the soil Take to the tales The myths on trial Will to further kingdom hymns Oh Desire Oh Truth I ask Forever Forever in severance? Give arm to trace the whispers Ancient prose mystique Feign to halt Chamber chest Days spent inside Know your many flames at stake Read the written With the waking eye Let alone the empty womb
5.
Meadow Pale 03:09
A heavy breath All shades of red my love These visions painted Naked and fearless Back and forth From the deepest well and home again I did not dwell upon The spell of the crow Lust as flame Carried out the message clear These hymns will be written Upon a meadow pale A flow deep and wide How soft and lovely the voice While numb and baffled Neath the spell yet again
6.
The sentence falls to all Blood calls out for more blood Riddle is no riddle at all You will find me as a ghost So keep walking my dear boy You have seen nothing yet The fairest sights to come You will find me as a ghost
7.
Sunken Ships 03:47
Whispering Madness The light of the spirit To yield as remnants Echoes of the past Mouth as the mother To homeward river black Tongue lies dry In heavy sleep Sunken ships all over town Whispering madness The light of the spirit To yield as remnants Drowned by waves Thrashing upon these Humble open palms Leave this host On with your own
8.
Haven 04:00
You are still the guidance I’ve felt since I was a child Doubt to dust when mute Leaves me solemn Known as the endless Treasures of the mind These through loving hands The grand devotion So barren are these words of mine In every grave attempt To render what I’ve found Beyond the spoken Haven Haven Set my loud aside For this my warden care
9.
Woe the Day 02:08
Devil the one who has fallen Righteous the one to cast out Nature and man Nature and man Demon far too lightly spoken Scriptures are read with one eye Darkness disguised Darkness disguised Woe the man Who denies another his breath So tie up the rope And do unto him Rid us all of these horrors Rid us once and for all Bless our own Bless our own Woe the day When we all are hung from the trees Blood begets blood Whichever the reason

about

Coulisses Sweden

Inspired by European and American folk music as well as movie soundtracks Coulisses has grown into a vehicle of Per-Erik Söderberg's inner self, with his trademark vocals and lyrics leading the way.

A bare-boned, naked, sound is to be expected, especially when compared to his day-job with psych/post-rockers Isobel & November.
