ARMY OF SALVATION
I will sing from the highest mountain
I will shout from the deepest woods
I will scream across the ocean
I will sigh in the darkest of times
For you to get rid of all your guilt, and all your sweet talk
With my brothers of the forest
And all the sailors of the sea
And the founders of the red cross
And the sisters of the fields
We’ll come marching for you, an army of salvation
We will come over the mountain tops
We’ll be swimming from the seas
We’ll come running from the forest
Just to save you from this hell
When you’re stuck between borders, well I mind the gap
Stop dancing in the clouds, come down to earth

LORDS & LADIES
Lords & ladies from all the world
Dancin together in solid good times
Women & children we all concern
About the gaia paradise roundabout
Friends & foes cross your hands
Build up your mind to reach the sun above
All sons & daughters in waking dreams
Open your eyes see the mistery unfold
Saints & sinners when will they learn?
Sharp knives & loaded guns have done enough
Brothers & sisters we will return
To the time when we were all together
Lords & ladies from all the world
Dancin together in solid good times
Brothers & sisters we will return
To the time when we were all together

SLIP & SLIDE
If you treat me like air, I’m not gonna let you breathe me in
If you treat me like the dirt under your shoes, I’m not gonna let you walk all over me
If you think I’m gonna let this pass, I send you all my best wishes
If you treat me like a horses ass, I’m not gonna let you ride with the wind
I won’t let this pass
I’m not gonna let it slip & slide
But if you want to push me aside
I am gonna let this fade away
If you treat me like a child, I’m never ever gonna grow up
If you treat me like I’m someone else, you’re never goona know who I am
If you treat me like nothing, there really isn’t much I can do about it
If you treat me like a dog, I won’t come running after you kicked me to the curve
I won’t let this pass
Drift into the ocean
Leave all our troubles behind
I’m not gonna let us fade away

WOLVES
Son, you got wolves inside
fighting for your will
one of them is evil:
he is your anger, your fear
all the lies, and your greed
envy and jealousy
arroganse and selfpity
the other wolf is good:
she is your joy, your peace
your love and hope
she is calm and humble
your truth and trust
oh, father father who will win?
Son you be careful which one you feed

A SONG FOR THE EARTH
Tears from the earth
The smile of the sun
Sorrow of the moon
All the laughing animals
A question from a son
The stories of the wise men
The speed of a breakdown
The heat of a helping hand
You are begging on your knees
Who is going to get you on your feet when there is noone left around?
The humming of a tree
The buzzing of a bee
A jumping frog towards the pond
A call from within
It is written in the stars
These pictures disappear now
The cycle has begun
You are begging on your knees
I'm gonna help you, please, just open your eyes
Open your eyes and see the truth

UNIFORMS
Your hair is a reminder of the life you live
Your clothes they tell the truth about the things you do
Your shoes are the proof of the many roads you’ve walked
Your money is not a message of the power you posess
Your style is an intension of the one you want to be
Your shades are a shield, your protection from the outside world
Your eyes are the windows to your soul
Your ears are the doors to your mind
All expressions of your inside, you hide what’s underneath
Follow your heart and your mind will do the rest
Follow your leader and you will fail the test
Don’t be to hard on yourself
Go easy on your mind
We all wear our uniforms
But inside we are the same

FLOWERS
Lets make it clear, I am here to help this seed grow
Oh you may be the sun, but all around you is a dry desert
Noone can flourish on their own
Together we stand stronger than alone
The beauty of the flowers
Bursting through the soil
After a frozen winter
The seeds will grow again
Spring is on its way
I give you all my nurture and time, I rip out the weeds, to clean the air
But inside this greenhouse there is a toxin
The lillies seem to wither, the roses seem to bleach
So I’m hiring a gardener to sow a new bed of flowers
Without all these wounding thorns, so that we once again can enjoy
The mercy of the flowers
Reaching to the sky
After a burnin fire
The seeds will grow again
Spring has returned

MASTER & SLAVE
You’ve been steppin on my toes for quite a while now
You’ve been gettin on my nerves for quite some time
You’ve been spittin in my face to long / you’ve been treatin me like dust
But I won't break down
You told me you would set me free if I do as you command
You’ve been feedin me with lies for a bit to long now
You’ve been scratchin on my skin / you’ve commited every sin
You let me down
Oh will I be a slave to my grave?
And my story is buried with my name
You’ll be a master all the way til your dead and gone
Noone can defeat you, so you remain the same
You remain the same
But tomorrow when the sun is up I will not be around
I will break free from this torture and your chains
I’ve had it with your ignorance, the blood runs angry in my vains
You’ve been beatin me with stones / you’ve been breaking all my bones
I can not let this go
I'm not your slave anymore
I am finally free
Lay down your guns and take a walk

BECOME
What you give is what you get
But there’s always a catch
You don’t always get what you deserve
And nothing comes for free
Where you go is where you coming from
There is no place like home
You return with things you learn
And teach them to your old friends
Look at what you’ve done
What you have become
Be proud of yourself
You’re like noone else
What you did is what you’ve done
That belongs to yesterday
Do you even believe the words you say?
You can not change a thing
What you know is what you’re told
Be careful who you listen to
Rumors set like fire in dry leaves
Your truth can be twisted and perverted
Look at what you’ve done
What you have become
Be proud of yourself
You’re like noone else

BUILDING BRIDGES
We breathe the same air
We share the same sun
We walk the same ground
And we speak different languages
We share the same thoughts
We see the same things
We’re not that different from each other
Yet we fear what’s unknown
We do the things we do
We do them without thinkin
We are building bridges
But still blinded by belief

DAYS TO COME
Well I've had my days of wonder and confusion
Smoke in my eyes and my head for a solution
Now I'm sitting here thinking, sorting right from wrong
Just thinking bout the days to come
Well I can’t find any good reason to tell you why I'm leaving
Cause I've done my share of talking and nothing can be told
If you ain’t got nothing to say, don’t try to force it anyway
It will only make you look like a fool
Well I'm stuck in this illution
Between my dearest friends and all the frauds
I start living in the moment, stop dreaming of the past
Just thinking bout the days to come
I would rather be in mental reservation
Than lost somewhere deep in a sensation
Where nothing quite feels as it should
Just thinking bout the days to come

Mads With Norway
To sum up in one word, «folk» might work, but Mads With isn’t easily confined within genres. His music’s references are many and draw from art and literature, molded into a seameless and distinctive sound. Choosing guitar and voice as his core palette colors, he paints pictures and tells stories. ... more
