[Verse 1]
Erik the sailor
Boots still wet from the sea
Rust on his jacket
Salt in his beard like a creed
Johanna from Mexico
Black lace
Eyeliner like war
Came for the silence
Stayed for the storm on the fjord
[Chorus]
We are the thunder over Tysnes
Black flags on a grey sky
Steel hearts waking up the islands
Screaming till the stars reply
You and me
Forever louder
Ink and leather in the rain
Erik and Johanna
Raising hell at the edge of the waves (hey!)
[Verse 2]
Graves by the church hill
Where she likes wasting the night
He brings a lantern
Reads her the runes by the light
Coffee at midnight
Records stacked on the floor
Her Spanish curses
His crooked laugh asking for more
[Chorus]
We are the thunder over Tysnes
Black flags on a grey sky
Steel hearts waking up the islands
Screaming till the stars reply
You and me
Forever louder
Ink and leather in the rain
Erik and Johanna
Raising hell at the edge of the waves
[Bridge]
She paints his nails black
He ties her hair in a braid
Boat rocking gentle
As the clouds start to fade
If this is nowhere
It’s where they both belong
Two dark silhouettes
Shaking the night with a song (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
We are the thunder over Tysnes
Black flags on a grey sky
Steel hearts waking up the islands
Screaming till the stars reply
You and me
Forever louder
Ink and leather in the rain
Erik and Johanna
Our little world at the edge of the waves
