- 1000 Years
1000 years of solitude
1000 years of pain
hardened my heart
fed my poor soul with misery
I can't even tell
am I dead, am I alive?
Don't hesitate, penetrate me with your sting
- Brighter Days
Awakened to heavy silence, no sunrise in sight
Was that just one more dream that passed me by?
Smiling as it waved goodbye "you know how nothing can last"
Still we crave for brighter days though we still feel blind
Seems no-one warned us when somehow we'd lose our will
The joys of yesterday still seem a perennial breeze
But could we carry tomorrow's burdens with dignity?
- Broken Statue
Remember when you said that you don’t need me any more
Success had finally come your way
You smiled and waved at me as you got into your car
A gallant knight held the door open
Alice what have you become? You have tumbled from your footing
Three years have passed since then but success abandoned you
- Deliverance
When I awoke, the sun was high and the clouds had accepted their defeat
The lovely shores and the blue sky couldn’t tell me where I was
I had to find out by myself
Then I stood up and a gentle breeze graced my sun-burned, naked skin
I collected fallen leaves to cover my fear and shame
And I went to find out who I was
- Don't Mourn
Don't mourn now
for your lost life
and what did you do to deserve it?
it was just a bitter gift
Pull yourself together
and with your last strength
make a final prayer
- Envy Us
We, the dead, cannot understand
Why these mortals don't envy us
In silence and peace we rest, but we don't exist
We have so many things in common
Why are they afraid of us? We can't understand
Our lives are over, theirs have no meaning
What have they got that we don't have?
- Liefde Voor Niemand
Nooit meer mijn hart zul je ineenkrimpen, in twee breken
want het gevoel dat jou zo deed lijden, was de liefde voor niemand
Onpersoonlijke liefde, gericht op een glimlach, een speels blik, een gouden haarlok, de aanraking van een zacht lichaam
zo zacht, sidderend zacht dat slechts de herinnering overblijft
lijkt mij te beurt te zijn gevallen
Als een magneet lijkt deze liefde zonder gezicht
- O...Solitude... .. ...
O, how it hurts
The sting of solitude!
I''''m quenching on my own
My solitude is going to kill me
O, how they tighten
The ropes around my neck!
What have I done to myself?
- The Loss of Innocence
When suddenly at nights dark thoughts intrude your peaceful sleep
And your dreams wander in places long-forgotten
When visions of loss and regret engrave their ugly features on your skin
And you feel your purity slipping from your hands
When gradually you see the years you’ve lived turn into statues
-The hopes and dreams you had, now cast in stone
And when the years that come appear to be stillborn
- The Pains of Sleep
Ere on my bed my limbs I lay
It hath not been my use to pray
With moving lips or bended knees
But silently, by slow degrees
My spirit I to Love compose
In humble trust mine eye-lids close
With reverential resignation
No wish conceived, no thought expressed
