FROM WITHIN
sleep
golden city
behind bolts, bars and stone
dream
mighty city
of the wind and the sea
stars shoot a line across the sky
no way in
from the outside
no way out
from within
stars call me down from the sky
weep
sleepless city
in your room
deep within
and the stars shoot me down from the sky

KISS OF LIFE
blind morning
i rise with the tide
caught a glimpse of life passing by
sleepwalking
i’m falling in line
and successfully returning blind
keep moving
keep killing time
to keep the burning gone from my mind
shallow waters
hollow at heart
gone through the motions
gone back to start
break the circle
reset my head
wake the sleepwalker
and i’ll wake the dead

GROUNBBOUND
how long the wait?
clouds are hanging over me
obscurity prevails
wearing the face
of doubts, hopes and promises
i wish that you would stay
don’t blunt the edge
i breathe through my senses
the flesh and the divine
delicate moves
surrender into strangeness
and i can’t make out the signs
fall through the air
groundbound and giving away
your secret is safe
unless it would break in two
heaven’s still unbound
cling to my wings,
the dreams and the things we knew
now would you want it to?
fall through the air
groundbound and gliding
giving away

HOLE
i wonder why i let time slip by unconcerned
holding my breath while life’s calling out my name
i’m going down – feeling no trace of shame
playing no part – i’m not the one to blame
unfullfilled dreams stay intact here inside
shut out the world and let time fill the cracks all the while
i’m going down – feeling no trace of shame
playing no part – i’m not the one to blame

SLOW FIRE
i feed on fire
so that i can keep the dark at bay
i have known you
i long to speak your name
sink the stone
and heal the wounds to make me whole again
moving closer
we dance into the flame
surreal, still and shining
come and wash me away

FIREFLY
sparks flying through the room
my head’s on fire
and there is nothing i can do
i’m in the whirlwind
far beyond reach
i wish that you would be here too
fading fire
the wakened eye
soon turning blue again
for all gone before
all left undone
put down your walking-stick and run
i’m on a blind-ride
all screens are blank
looking forward running back
and all is one
to each his own
all is one
but i am alone
as i run
through the fire

FOR SOMEONE
wayworn souls – we’ve been drifting through space for so long
moving on – but never quite sure of where we should go
all as one – at the glass gazing out in the blue
we who’ve been waiting too long
for someone
for someone
stars all around
but we never found a fire burning as strong
no we never found a fire burning as strong
no we never found a fire

Dwellers of the Deep
by Wobbler
supported by 48 fans who also own “From Within”
This might be the least folky of the Wobbler releases and I wasn't sure about it at all. After a few listens however I'm loving the inventiveness and the endless melodies, all driven along by Kristian Hultgren's wonderful percussive bass.

From Silence to Somewhere
by Wobbler
supported by 34 fans who also own “From Within”
In the Prog Archives, this is the only album from this millennium to crack the top 45 on the all time list. The lovable grognards over there can't seem to get enough of Wobbler, and neither can I.
