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: The Shining Path

Interpret:
Tristania
Album:
World of Glass
Don't care if I choke 


Sacrifice me for my sins 
For my beliefs 
Spit at me 
Die … with me 
When I'm gone 
Death will come to you 
Death will come … 


The flames went high 
to lick the skin on her chin 
The words she said 
For those words she would die 
The crowd circles around her 
Praising their merciful god 
Her screams got weaker 
"Heathen, heathen" 
The mass was shouting 
The children that once were loving 
Now their small hands 
were full of rocks 


The found her bleeding 
The dark night came creeping 
Was she one of the devil's own kind? 


Beyond belief 
Beyond the pain 
And grief 


I lay low 
And crawl deep 
Choosing the narrow path 


Fear your thoughts and let the father 
judge them 
Walk the shining path 
and guide the weakling along 
The crowd circles around her 
Praising their merciful god 
Their screams grew higher 
"Heathen, heathen" 
The mass was shouting 
Hunt down the profane 
And put them to the torch 


Burn me on the fire 
Call me liar 
Shout at me 
Cry for me 
When I'm gone 
Death will come to me 
Death will come … 
Burn me on the fire …
