Our story began over a centruy ago, when seventeen-year-old Egmont Harald Petersen found a coin in the street. He was on his way to buy a flyswatter, a small hand-operated printing machine that he then set up in his tiny apartment.
The coin brought him such good luck that today Egmont has offices in over 30 countries around the world. And that lucky coin is still kept at the company’s head offices in Denmark.
In loving memory of our grandmothers,
Josephine, Lora, and Mary,
who loved us no matter our choices
No trees in sight, just concrete
Still I see
Two roads twist and turn in front of me
No signs, but screams
Which way’s reality?
So you choose; yeah, you choose
Maybe you lose
The sidewalk paved in hitches
Broken hearts not fixed by stitches
But morning’s coming soon
No right in sight, just questions
And you find
There is no map to Mecca
It’s just life
No right answer; perfect marks
It’s no big deal; it’s just your heart
Falling stars and lightning sparks
This will only sting a bit
We are all just
Magnets for fate
Stumbling, skipping, running at our pace
Making choices, losing voices
Making wishes for forgiveness
But morning’s coming soon
And no matter where you sit, how fast you sip
The coffee tastes the same on magnet lips
“Magnets for Fate”
—Electric Freakshow
