1) Anyone have the lyrics for these new songs? (The ones that aren't instrumental, obviously.) 2) Anyone have more info about the years this project was active? 3) I'm not 100% sure about "when" this project became Christian. It was somewhere around 2015, anyway. Are all of the releases here Christian? Are there any additional Christian songs that aren't mentioned here? 4) Does anyone have the official statement released by Boreas confirming Morbus Mundi's change in beliefs?

Prayers from a Yearning Heart (EP)

August, 2000, Nordic Mission, CD
25 March, 2020, Nordic Mission, Bandcamp

Guest appearances:

Kjartan Vestvik - Synthesizers

The top cover art is lower quality, but higher res.
The bottom version is higher quality, but lower res.

Track 5 is called "In Strongest Arms" on the back of the packaging, but "In Strongest Arms Held" in the lyric booklet.

1) Prayer of the Yearning
5:20, lyrics:
Oh mighty Lord, You that hold
Heaven above the water
You, the one that feed the sun's fire
Have You, in Thy greatness,
Forgotten me?

People marvel at the work
Of Thy hands.
And cheer at the wonders
by Your name
Why, then, am I so bereaved?
How come I cry at night?

My heart once flooding
With love poured over me
is now parched as the desert's sand
The words I speak
Once ones of love and comfort
Now poisonous darts
From mouth to hearts
Standing on my knees I cry,
From the top of my lungs I scream
Forsake me not,
You, coordinator of the stars
You, protector of sparrows
Hear my plea as I return to beauty
Open the gates as I return to life

2) Praise
4:51, lyrics:
Praise be to God
The father of Jesus Christ
For He chose us in Him
Before the creation of the world

He made Himself nothing
Took the form of a servant
Made in human likeness

In appearance as a man
He humbled Himself
And became obedient to death

He disarmed all evil authorities
Triumphing over them
By the cross

From the fullness of His grace
We have all received one blessing
After another

Before Him, every knee will bow
And every tongue will confess
To God

3) Tears
5:51, lyrics:
I bow before Your cross
See Your blood on the ground
Running in streams it mingles
With the tears
That drip from my cheek

With sorrow they run from my eyes
For I know, You are in my place
My sins were the hammer
That drove the nails into Your hands
And the pain that tears at Your flesh

In helplessness they
Fall to the ground
For words can never
Express my gratitude
And never can I repay such love

Your love has captured me,
Therefore I am free

4) Lament
6:04, lyrics:
O Lord! Be merciful to me!
O Lord! Heal me!
For my soul is in anguish
How long, o Lord, how long?

My eyes grow weak with sorrow
They fail because of the troubles they've seen
My sorrow has overwhelmed me
Like a burden too heavy to bear

Hear my cry for mercy!
Do not turn a deaf ear to me!
No one remembers you when he is dead
Who praises you from his grave?

I confess my inequity:
I am troubled by my sin
I am about to fall
My pain is ever with me

Out from the depths, I cry to You
O Lord, hear my voice

5) In Strongest Arms / In Strongest Arms Held
13:39, partial lyrics:
Waking up in darkest hour
A pool of sweat
In which the terror bathes
The flash of a horrid moment
(Fading?) in the mind
Deprived of restful hours
By scares from within

The end of all terrors
The cease to all fear
No more present darkness
In strongest arms held

Restless shadows roaming the night
Lurking in dark
Always there to (find?) you
With hunger so enormous
They can never stop
They are the thieves of freedom
Feasting on your fear

Crawling through a endless mire
Of darkness and (?)
Never shines the light
Bones aching with exhaustion
Soul is black with (?)
Stolen is the smile
Carried away on a dark cloud

The end of the distress
(?)
Banned from my soul,
No longer is their place vacant
For light is in their place

14) The August Failure - This Song I Promised You
2:58, lyrics unknown

Are You Afraid of the Dark? (single, 1 February, 2021, Ghostfling Records)
Format: Digital / Bandcamp
Stream / Download (OFFICIAL)

Release date is listed on Bandcamp as 1 June, 2006. I assume that's when it was originally released.

1) Are You Afraid of the Dark?
3:50, lyrics:
Your fingers are slipping, trying to get a hold on my wrist
The ring’s in your way, you’ve got nothing to hide from me
Still, you keep trying to disappoint me
“an old habit” you say as you blow your smoke in circles (out of my bedroom window)

You wouldn’t like to lose me, you’re lying
And on the inside you’re dying
Don’t think about tomorrow, make sure you survive the day

All you’re saying is that you did this for me
Excuse me, but you’re nothing more than a bleeding contest
So what if you bled more than I did
You lost your touch quite a while ago

You wouldn’t like to lose me, you’re lying
And on the inside you’re dying
Don’t think about tomorrow, make sure you survive the day

Call me blind, I just know what I did
You’re the one that’s screwing up everything
Just pack your bags and burn down the closet
Since I’ve packed it all like three weeks ago

You wouldn’t like to lose me, you’re lying
And on the inside you’re dying
Don’t think about tomorrow, make sure you survive the day

MISCELLANEOUS DISCOGRAPHY
Some songs listed on songmeanings.net

??) "Let Me Spell the Word W.H.O.R.E. for You"
You're playing with your hair
You seem to care more about
The way you dress than the way you miss me
The way you kissed me, cheated on me

The sheets you crawled under are whiter than your soul
Then again, what isn't when it's compared to you?
You could simply blame this on a lack of self control
I will when I kick you out off my bed

Sweet dreams my dear
Just close your mouth for once
Open your ears to hear
Lie to me baby, one more time

You whisper his name when you're asleep
Every syllable comes straight out of your heart
And I know where you're at when you're smiling like that
Sincere dishonesty are the words that come closest to describing you

Sweet dreams my dear
Just close your mouth for once
Open your ears to hear
Lie to me baby, one more time

If you'd give me your hand
You'd count your fingers afterwards

Count me in, count me out
You're dark and gorgeous
Lying is all what you're about

Sweet dreams my dear
Just close your mouth for once
Open your ears to hear
Lie to me baby, one more time

??) Sleepingbags VS Your Bed

Oh I hate you so when you talk like that
Saying those words over and over again
"This ain't the movies dear, you talk like a fill it in"
If I wanna dream then I'm a dreamer
I will chase them forever, and to be honest with you I've never chased you
You've been too good to be a dream, but baby don't turn into a nightmare

So go kiss yourself goodnight in your sleep
So go call yourself and make yourself weep
Cry it out, you think you're so special
I hate you more than you'll ever know

You're almost a 24 with the illusion of safety
A 2 and a 4 makes it six and perhaps this is coincidence
Dust needs to be swept away you know
This is just a matter of self defense
This could be all too late, you're lucky that I don't believe in fate

So go kiss yourself goodnight in your sleep
So go call yourself and make yourself weep
Cry it out, you think you're so special
I hate you more than you'll ever know

??) Wipe the Sleep from Your Eyes
The longer I wait, the harder it gets
To fill my sleep and long for your dreams
I can’t forget, these chances I had
It has been just too long now, it has been just too long now

And I hate so much to hurt you
I’m so tired of lying all the time
I just can’t be honest to tell you the truth
I just want to hate you

My feelings for you have left through my backdoor
There’s nothing left to talk or cry about
It has just been too long now and you know what I’m thinking
We’re probably better off this way

And I hate so much to hurt you
I’m so tired of lying all the time
I just can’t be honest to tell you the truth
I just want to hate you

‘Cause I’m sick of the drug and the alcohol that I took
and the more I see you the brighter this looks
You’re just not the one, no you’re just not the one
You’re just not the one

And I hate so much to hurt you
I’m so tired of lying all the time
I just can’t be honest to tell you the truth
I just want to hate you

The longer I wait, the harder it gets
To fill my sleep and long for your dreams
I can’t forget, these chances I had
It has been just too long now, it has been just too long now

??) You Call It Suicide, I Call It Murder
Is it the last time, is this the last time
That you call me after midnight
Saying soft words after fake fights
Did you wonder, did you ask yourself
“Was I lying all the time
When he’s dead then I’ll be fine”

No it’s not that easy
And I hope you’re doing well
When you’re kissing your own mirror
You’re kissing your own mirror, tonight

Just spare me all the details
Honestly I don’t give a shit
I don’t want to know, I don’t want to know
All I know is I miss your soft curves
The seventh heartbreak of your…
Your seventh heartbreak

I miss your heart, do you still have one?

No it’s not that easy
And I hope you’re doing well
When you’re kissing your own mirror
You’re kissing your own mirror, tonight

??) Zack Morris Used to Be My Hero But I Was Saved by the Bell
As straight lines start to blur
I will fade away into your arms
Don’t try to make right what’s wrong
Two lefts just won’t make it right
Into the air my lungs start to fill with poison
My integrity falls when I breathe out
Fight my eyes for the lies I see
For your love this is all I’ve left to burn

Search for me in the dark
And you will finally see
Nothing’s here for you to take
So kiss me while you still have the chance

My feelings bled out for all the times I hated you
You know I did, yes I did
Your knife’s still sharper than mine
And your words are carved deep into my soul
Try to stop me bleeding, try to stop me
If there is any truth left in you
Try to stop me bleeding, try to stop me
If there is any life left in you

Search for me in the dark
And you will finally see
Nothing’s here for you to take
So kiss me while you still have the chance

??) Chaos Sticks Three Thingers Up with a Twist
(note the live video mentioned above adds, "... That Might Even Confuse Christopher Walken" to the end of the song title)
Are there any words I need to whisper?
I mean, why do you insist in telling me lies
Hell no I won’t keep my voice down
Your lack of faith destroys my trust in you

I tried to set your clouds on fire
But even bleeding grenades won’t take you down
They’re taking you over, taking you over
Take me out when you are dead

You’re holding me for just 10 seconds
You say this is forever
Hey whats one more lie on a lifetime
“when I say it’s over I’ll tell you the truth”

I tried to set your clouds on fire
But even bleeding grenades won’t take you down
They’re taking you over, taking you over
Take me out when you are dead

“I won’t hold onto you” you said
But still I find you bleeding
It grabs me and suffocates me
I can’t get you out of my head

I tried to set your clouds on fire
But even bleeding grenades won’t take you down
They’re taking you over, taking you over
Take me out when you are dead

If I’d find a bullet and shoot it through my head
I still wouldn’t forget you, I still wouldn’t forget you
I’m not sure of what it takes
I wish that you would be dead

I tried to set your clouds on fire
But even bleeding grenades won’t take you down
They’re taking you over, taking you over
Take me out when you are dead
