Tornø

Tornø (meaning Thorn Island) is a small island in the Odense Fjord, roughly 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) northeast of the city of Odense, in Kerteminde Municipality, Funen, Denmark. It covers an area of 21 hectares (52 acres) and is connected to the mainland by a 300 m (980 ft)-long causeway. The first tenant farmer on the island was Hans Eriksen in 1921.

For years the island could only be reached by riding or driving through the shallow waters but after Anders Jørgensen bought the island in 1922, he connected it to the mainland by road so that he could transport shells from the island. The link was completed in 1926. His shell crushing plant has long disappeared but the land is still farmed on Odense Fjord's only inhabited island. The original farm has long been replaced by a modern brick building. As of 2006 the island had a population of 3 people, with 4 people reported in 2014, although the island is inaccessible to the general public. It contains a narrow strip of salt marsh.

    Torn

    by: Schandfleck

    I thought, I saw a man brought to life
    He was warm, he came around and he was dignified
    He showed me what it was to cry
    Well, you couldn't be that man I adored
    You don't seem to know
    Seem to care what your heart is for
    But I don't know him anymore
    There's nothing where he used to lie
    The conversation has run dry
    That's what's going on
    Nothing's fine, I'm torn
    I'm all out of faith
    This is how I feel
    I'm cold and I am shamed
    Lying naked on the floor
    Illusion never changed
    Into something real
    I'm wide awake and I can see
    The perfect sky is torn
    You're a little late, I'm already torn
    So I guess the fortune teller's right
    Should have seen just what was there
    And not some holy light
    It crawled beneath my veins
    And now I don't care, I had no luck
    I don't miss it all that much
    There's just so many things
    That I can touch, I'm torn
    I'm all out of faith
    This is how I feel
    I'm cold and I am shamed
    Lying naked on the floor
    Illusion never changed
    Into something real
    I'm wide awake and I can see
    The perfect sky is torn
    You're a little late, I'm already torn, torn
    There's nothing where he used to lie
    My inspiration has run dry
    That's what's going on
    Nothing's right, I'm torn
    I'm all out of faith
    This is how I feel
    I'm cold and I am shamed
    Lying naked on this floor
    Illusion never changed
    Into something real
    I'm wide awake and I can see
    The perfect sky is torn
    I'm all out of faith
    This is how I feel
    I'm cold and I'm ashamed
    Bound and broken on the floor
