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....

Only ashes and bones remain My hair is wet, my eyes are sore The past has been fed to the flames I cannot breathe anymore I try to stand on my feet, but I fall I try to walk, but I crawl Life – as we knew it, is over And you are gone Forever gone … I will not bend to a cross I will not kneel at your feet Greed and anger Made us younger Couldn't save us when the tower fell All my strength and all my hunger All is lost And none will live to tell I rest in the ruins of days gone by Of young affection and velvet sky A slave to greed … I do not feel regret anymore I sense the presence of birds Encircling me … And I am gone Forever gone... Dark is the night Dead is the moon I will not kneel I'd rather die Facing my doom I will not kneel
