Listen to a sample of the demo version of "Jon Evens the Score," the first song on Scenes from an Icelandic Novel.

Jon Evens the Score

It was said Jon had died falling off the Skor Cliffs, but everyone had their doubts. Jon certainly knew that Bjarni had killed him, and he came back to haunt him with such horrifying insight that only the dead seem to possess...

I should have put you down a long time ago
Before temptation began to grow
But now it's too late to turn my head
Such collusion in this house of stone
No solution without broken bones
But some things are better left unsaid

I feel the rain falling down

Far too long I've been lying here awaiting your wretched company
There's always room for more
For was there really ever any trace of doubt
You and the wife would be found out
Once the truth got washed ashore?

I feel the rain falling down

This lie will sound
It won't stay buried in the ground

I feel the rain falling down
