- The lyrics for Tundra were written by my frequent collaborator, poet Charles Anthony Silvestri. I asked Tony to write a text based on the title and photos of a part of my native Norway that is very dear to me, the Hardangervidda mountain plateau. It’s pretty close to where my father grew up, in the mountains between Oslo and Bergen.

Across The Vast Eternal Sky Lyrics
[Hook 1]Fiery woods and golden treesAre glittering beneath clear sky.Silver mist at every morningAnd lonely ravens scream up high.[Hook 2]Beholding the great vast forest.I can see the colours of autumn.Nightly frost that made flowers witheredIs silent messenger of whole life's doom.[Verse 1]Melancholy mood within nature.I feel cool touch of upcoming snow,Which is born somewehre in North.Northernmost at the end of the rainbow.[Chorus]The burning colours of autumn,Such a beatuiful garment for death!Last flashing of once vitalityBut already I can feel dying breath.[Verse 2]Not so long within further timeIs all what I see the grip of frost.That's the eternal cycle of birth and death,But still I enjoy what soon shall be lost.[Bridge]The everlasting colours of autumnThe everlasting colours of autumn[Hook 1]Fiery Woods and golden treesAre glittering beneath clear sky.Silver mist at every morningAnd lonely ravens scream up high.[Hook 2]Beholding the great vast forest.I can see the colours of autumn.Nightly frost that made flowers witheredIs silent messenger of whole life's doom.
