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: ...of Ruins and a Red Nightfall

Interpret:
Tristania
Album:
Beyond the Veil
Life gains intensified pain 
to ascend within me once again 
Woe strikes through radiant light 
a quitus has conquered thy eyes 
the sequel of life 


Arising grievance rage through the eyes 
of our existence a thousand times 
The strife drawn hither 
as a daydream ascendancy 
In life we wither 
like laurel leaves in winterwinds 


Lurk far between 
a pale destiny 
drawn from the past 
Enclasp my wrath 
in the prophecy of thine 


Perchance to dream… 
Day of ire prithee 
behold the haven of life 
Perchance to dream… 
Day of ire prithee 
may daylight draw thy veils aside 


Summon the winterwind 
in which I walk 
Enter the morning glades 
of a fallen deathwish 
Summon the starlight gloss 
in which thou rage 
Enter the mourning shades 
Call out in vain 
for thee again 


Perchance to dream 
you're my dancing queen 
behold the haven of life 
Perchance to dream…Day of ire prithee 
may daylight draw thy veils aside 


A strike of angina 
Enthralled by the night 
and the shades at thy side 


A star of riddance rage through the sky 
Grant me thy visions...bequeath me life 
Through times of yearning… 
on a path of indignity 
No longer burning… 
at last this life's circuit I leave
