Anekdoten is a Swedish progressive rock band, comprised of guitarist/vocalist Nicklas Barker, cellist Anna Sofi Dahlberg, bassist/vocalist Jan Erik Liljestrom and drummer Peter Nordins. They are notable for the use of the mellotron and the heavy and trippy sound, dominated by a pounding bass guitar. Their music is associated with the tradition of 1970s progressive rock music, especially the one of King Crimson, but they have also covered songs by Van Der Graaf Generator and Magma on their live performances.

The War Is Over Lyrics

Anekdoten

a light shines above
a trace of the sky
reflecting in my lover's eye

the sun going down
on a war, lost or won
all is silent in this newborn world of peace
we're the only ones awake to see

it's not a case of right and wrong
it's all about to be
you and me
so come and bless my soul
it's all about to be

a blue whippoorwill sings
on the other side of the rain
we're through with the games
we survived the hate and the pain
the storm's gone away
so come my kingdom come - come today
