V roce 1996 dva bývalí členové Uzi Suicide, Morten Veland a Einar Moen spolu s Kennethem Olssonem založili kapelu Tristania. Krátce před natočením dema v roce 1997 se skupina rozrostla o další členy: Vibeke Stene, Anderse Hidle a Rune Osterhuse....

Píseň: Crushed Dreams

Interpret:
Tristania
Album:
World of Glass
You choke a scream 
Crushing a dream 
Made the scheme real 


Show this sinner your precious god 
Lift the blame off my shoulders 
With a simple thought 
Show me life's pleasure 
And how it is caught 
Not just the air I breathe 
Or the dream I forgot … 


The last smile 
The last word 
It's time again to face the final outcome 
The pagan 
The godless deeds 
Fall … 
Deep … 
Your vacuum made complete 


Exterminate … 
Eradicate … 


Preparing for death 
Awaiting the light to shine on us 
Wishing the sun to fall down on our heads 
Show us the joy in the world 
that we're living in 
Turn our dreams into sin 


Your first breath 
The far tolls 
It's you these bells were made to call for 
The pagan 
The godless deeds 
Crawl … 
Deep … 
The last hypocrisy 


Walk the path 
The shining path 


Lift this prayer to heaven's heights 
Feed my mind 
with the most glorious thoughts 
Sacrificing all my dreams 
For this I will serve and honour to death 
Or do I just fear the tyrant's wrath?
