Drown 05:07
lyrics

Once again I find myself in a situation where I simply do not understand what's going on I'm not sure that I can tell right from wrong I'm not sure I can tell your kisses from mourn I used to have a dream about a maze without light my feet were stuck in quicksand I was haunted every night Then I went out of bed like if it was made of nails slipped into my worn out shoes and slipped away the fear gets me down it drags me down to drown

Flotsam & Jetsam 04:24
lyrics

Pale edge of land stretch into the distance as far as I can see Tide rise and reveal all what the sand had tried to bury away Broken boxes scattering the ground caressing water splinters all around Past has sung of shipwreck I stand on the pier and cling to the land Famous are the last words raining down from the sky a hesitating roar by the waves a body washed ashore I looked away bewildered to the core and the wind began to howl at me I saw something that I should've never seen Now I'm all lost for words like the dead And the face I'm looking into is the face of someone I knew I am me and what I see is me I am me and what I see is me And the face I'm looking into is the face of someone I knew I am me and what I see is me

The Apparition 02:20
lyrics

Some might see this as a sign some might see this as a miracle Some might see this as a sign A sign that we should be prepared for the worries that may come Can our deed be made undone? Seeing things that isn't there Sorrow floating through the air A premonition of despair Broken hopes and no repair In restless dreams it walks alone It is a shadow on it own And some might see this as a sign Some will see this as a sign

Kite 02:53

The grass here is brittle The soil is hard The wind is like razors The sky is all dark Above the boreas Starless Pitch black The water is moving Downwards in slow motion Like world war 2 searchlights The cars driving by And just then Commence Silent Descent No words can describe it The sight that we see No camera lenses Can capture the glimpses Ignited Crowning Curtains Falling Kite

Three Red Frames 04:24
lyrics

Open your eyes before you is a script made up of lies look and you'll see a thousand words a perfect history what could it be? just fragments of a disturbed plan that's forced on to you and you may wonder if you're going to accomodate or wither and fade again Man lies and dream of thornless roses bend to suit his scull handshakes with kings and neckties tied so tight to fit his mood but then he wakes the pen is in his hand but there's no words his manifesto of ghosts walking through Europe is no more it's gone by the west hence economy and petro chemistry makes all he can see ambiguity I am keen to clean the mess blow it all away Mr. Fawkes will rise again this time make the day Won't be caught red handed when all the guardians come to the cell in the cellar where I'll beat the drum Sweet sound of november tear apart the air one makes a villan ten a psycopat one makes a villan ten a psycopat one makes a villan ten a psycopat a million makes a hero a nation makes you God one makes a villan ten a psycopat So it will seem That death only mean Figures on a screen That flickers on wall street Itís unacceptable To neglect a deathtoll Like that

Maleficence 03:17

We passionate are stigmatic now Our pierced wrists our holy bow In sacred names passing on the rite with bow and cross we set out to fight A sacrifice for us to see a hysteric move making history An eagle flies out to care Symbolize Whatís just and fair A city forged By men of belief A kingdom ruled By a thief An eagle flies out to care symbolize justice and fair And freedom Donít you know it's for your own good this freedom we have to fight for you well what do you do when your friends starts to do what you fear in your enemies some might tell them to sod it we chose to follow blindly we trust in our friends Democracy Is an ideology Suspended by supremacy Freedom Donít you know That we are right Freedom to fight for you we have to fight you

What kind of creature am I? so still and stripped tell me tell me what I am just another lifeless life that's spend I've been here I've been here I've been here so long now I've been here And time has passed me by Dream me gone Forget me still freeze me cold Keep your eyes nailed on me till I am no more Keep your eyes Keep them nailed on me till I am no more till I am no more till I am no more Keep your eyes Keep your eyes Keep your eyes On me Milk White Light

Out out Candle you burned so bright You lead me Into this night I am Kneeling before your bed Holding Your hand but itís dead now Soft words Please let the candles light Slowburn An embering sight Out out Outnumbered by the days Of all the years youíve lived And all you embrace I saw you there With your eyes so closed I still remember when you Had your life ahead Where have All the hours gone moments that you choose the last one is drawn

Your time is precious I won't take much I just want to feel the touch Of a human being else than me I am as lonely as I can be The city is hazy and so am I Things looks so different through these eyes of mine Far in the distance The bridges burn A fearsome lesson I had to learn And I'm going to have a world of my own A world where I'm not so alone Look at those faces All pale and grey They look so familiar But they're still so strange And I want to touch them But here I stay It's so much easier just to run away And I'm going to have a world of my own A world where this darkness and haze isn't out of place Take me to the oppsite bay Boatman set your sail

about

Released in november 2007, ‘Constructions’ was my magnum opus. A bleak and industrial sounding album, with twelve uncompromising songs dealing with loss, despair and frustration. I worked on the album for eight years, making it the most difficult work for me to complete.
I still regard ‘Constructions’ as my most artistic ambitious album, but not as my best.
Parts of it wasn’t as well executed as it could have been… had I spend more time. But I have returned to the old multitracks from time to time to see if I could improve anything. And now, just short of its 15th anniversary, I proudly present a brand new mix of ‘Constructions’.
The new version of ‘Constructions’ will be released with some previously unreleased material: three remixes by Karlheinz Kostenlos of Drown, Flotsam & Jetsam and The Noise. There will also be a collection of tracks from the Constructions sessions that didn’t make it onto ‘Constructions’ itself, but would be reworked and appear on later albums. Finally there will be a track that ended on the cutting room floor called ‘Leaving (part 2)’.
