Solitude

sometimes, time doesn't live up to its promises

and takes me down a road I never wanted to go

I'd give anything, to again experience the sweetness

a love can bring

I know the pain, when it doesn't, stops and is taken away

from you, beyond your control and then it is lost forever

the truth is, once it has died in that way it is hard to find

and almost impossible to retrieve again a chance is only

given once, never twice

so when you do live on into your solitude

memories are those pieces of happiness 

that are left to you, until their silence finds you

Chasing love

stop chasing dreams that will never satisfy

stop chasing the reasons and answers of a lie

stop chasing a love that has no truth to build on

and will never thrive or comply

Our innocence

where are the days of our innocence

the days of our first love the days of

trust and commitment, left behind in

the truth that once was

that truth's gone that commitment is gone

that innocence,...is gone

the days of a man and a woman are gone

wasted in a tomorrow that will never be real

will never be what it seems, wrecked by beliefs

that never ever will be 

it will come again when the days of distrust

have died, when again the love of a man for

a woman will arrive, it's the only love

that promises that this is  what it takes to be whole

and complete with and to each other again

that day it will come again

Tomorrow

Tomorrow's a fool who couldn't speak the truth

van de morgen kan je niet verwachten

dat ze steeds hetzelfde is

soms is ze een dwaas

die de waarheid

niet spreekt

Compromise

my body is a temple
where my soul reigns
filled up to the rim

with faith, truth, compromise
if need, when it reaches out for
the boundries of

infinite love

Tomorrow

Tomorrow is a fool, who couldn't speak the truth.

Vertaling:

van de morgen kan je niet verwachten dat ze steeds
hetzelfde is, soms is ze een dwaas, die de waarheid
niet spreekt.
