These lyrics are written by me and my friend, Thrax (yes, again.. He's a very good friend)
All the lyrics are very personal and most of them are linked with happenings in one or both of our memories.
Therefore it might seem very agressive. So don't take them too literally.
At the end of each song, we've written something to explain the meaning and reason of why
we wrote it, so it will help you in understanding the lyrics and to appreciate them
Also, we don't have any instruments yet. Nor the knowledge on how to use them, or write the
music to the lyrics. But we're both fast learners, and music is in our blood, so maybe, just
maybe, one day this site will contain our songs in .wav or MP3 format.

The following list is in chronological order.
An Angels Ignorance
On goes the flight through life
On what point was I given the light
Death is all around......Is it peace that I have found?
I was searching for the reason to be
Is there anyone who can make me see
Why this question keeps pounding in my head
For all I care, I might as well be dead
(Bridge:)
On a quest for knowledge
Nothing made a sound
So don't even try, there's nothing to be found
(Chorus:)
Out of the darkness and into the light
Be sure for what you fight
You should know your destiny well
For the quest I took brought me straight to hell
Darkness all around me, covered up my tracks
The devil spoke to me: 'Come I will let you see'.
He told me of the people, about the bloodspilling
The mass killing
(Bridge:)
On a quest for knowledge
Nothing made a sound
But for the devil's tongue, I turned my back around
(Chorus)
Regard this as a warning, don't take up the fight
Sure I found my peace, and yes I've seen the light
The choice I made I know very well
My days in death, I'll dwell in hell
(Repeat first bridge)
(Chorus)
What was the meaning of my being
Damn, I will never know
For both heaven and hell would not show
Ben, 1996
First one I ever wrote.When I read it now I am not quite satisfied, but it remains my first anyway.
If life has purpose, How do I fit in it?....Both dark and light give no answer so I remain on a
quest, until time provides the revelation.
Edge Of Emotions
Why should we fear our fears
There's nothing we can do
I know we're gonna die some day
So why should I think of you
Are you the one I fear
The one who left me in this mess?
Is fear inside of you
Or could you care even less?
(Bridge:)
The fear that you aroused in me
Is more than your everlasting love could be
(Chorus:)
In all my life, this life of many years
I never believed there was anything greater than my fears
In all my life, with no heaven above
I never believed that my fear was your love
Till death do us part?
No love left in my heart
I turned my back and went
Left myself forever condemned
(Chorus)
On top of this lonely world
In wind and chilly rain
You say you want to help me
But there's nothing against my pain
(Bridge)
(Chorus)
On wings of love in flight
But still with fear as my guiding light
You want to help, but I won't stay
Along with my anguish I fade away...

The confusion you feel when you love someone, and at the same time fear losing that
person. This confusion can make you behave different than who you really are and cause you
to lose a love.
Driven by the anger, now's the time to kill
You are to die by my hand, and die you will
You once took away, everything that was dear to me
And for that reason, your life is damned
and will be taken by me
(Chorus:)
By the strike of the hammer
I will plunge you down
By the flash of the blade
Your life's blood flows away
Tremendous pain, no more fame
Tormenting you to me is a game
My rage, your death, it's all the same
The lust of seeing you hang is not to tame
My victory awaits
(Chorus)
There will be nothing left, not even Satan wants your soul
And as you take your last breath, you'll see only my law upholds
The severing of your body means not even hell for you unfolds
Now that you lie scattered, perhaps there was nothing to gain
But I will see you slain
(Chorus)
Ben
He who brings pain upon others should be banished from this world, but it seems impossible to do so.
Perhaps one day , things will be different........
What more can I say?
Previous | Main | Next
Late at night, you feel so cold
But the light in your eyes warms my soul
How I wish for us to be together
And stay in the skies forever
At anytime I want to stay
Only finding myself going away......again
What is it that you see?
Both dark and bright sides of me
My love for you brings out the bright in me
You will never be alone
Forever......my love
Your appearance is enchanting
Your words are like fire
How can anyone resist you?
Therefor I will stay
Or is it all a dream?
A kiss seals goodbye......again
Into the night, the stars by my side
As long as there are stars, there will be us
Your tender looks, my well meant charmes
Oh......How time passes quickly in your arms
Forever......my love
My love......forever
Ben
For the love of my life, who has been with me for many years now, but we always seem to
leave eachother for a short time since we do not live together.(yet)

Why is it, that all you do. Comes out not right?
Your pain, like a dragon won't die without a fight
Surely, you have not chosen to live this way
But still, all seen inside is complete disarray
Agony reigns
Why is it you say God has left your side?
Hold your ground, or the dragon will ride
Don't fear this pain, why can't you see
As soon as you hide, the dragon roams free
Take heed, the call
(Bridge:)
Take care of the danger before it gets too bold
And you valour will rapidly unfold
(Chorus:)
Thee art the one, given the benediction
The fall of thy dragon will not be a fiction
A turn in life thee shalt beckon
That's when the knight slays the dragon
And after long struggles, a dragon you will meet
Finally this is the day for its defeat
Turn towards the reason, look it straight in the eye
This is one beast which will no longer fly
Your time has come to arise
(Bridge:)
Bring the sword down to the desolate sight
In everyone hides a glorious knight
(Chorus)
Now inside, a fire burns high
You've conquered them all, no more dragons can sigh
The shroud of fear burns fast in the fire
With the death of the dragon you've found your desire
You now life free
(Bridge:)
Slashing the way through the gate called "your life"
For you this was the last relentless strife
(Chorus)
Search for the dragon
Search for the dragon
Search for the dragon
Ben
The fear of taking care of things described as a dragon.
He who faces his own fears will overcome all that happens to him.
(Although I must say that a dragon was not a wise choice, it happened anyway)

Corrosion through the years
But does it really end?
When it all comes down to one
Is there something to defend?
Feelings gathered at the time seem clear
As you see the light shining in your eyes disappear
Once passed on, light turns to grey
You witness your precious feelings taken away
(Chorus:)
Life and death joined forever
In tombs of time they come together
In life you walk on the dust of the past
Future and past are the present in rest
Uncompleted things now rest at your side
For now no more fears, in your tomb you can hide
The amber glows with you preserved
This cannot be what you deserved
Hate is worth nothing, set yourself above
Although it may seem to feel good, so isn't love
(Chorus:)
Love and hate joined forever
In tombs of time they come together
In a question of religion are they both not to bother?
If you believe in one, then don't deny the other
Deny these thoughts then don't believe at all
Await what's coming, prepare for your fall
(Chorus:)
You and me joined forever
In tombs of time we come together
And together we stand strong!

This one is, for me (Steven), mainly about our friendship. It feels so that is like we belong
together, just like all the controversies in life. Also, our thoughts in a bit 'down' mood are clear here.
(Ben): The balance of life will uphold itself, untill time tells us all what to do with it.

The dead can't tell you what's beyond, neither can the living
A deal with the devil or a deal with god, is it worth the giving?
Assurance for an easy life is impossible, only garanteed pain
I look on in wonder, our way of life is insane
It's all a game
(Chorus:)
The game is on, you will never be a winner
Triumph to the saint and you just might be the sinner
So get ready, 'cause the game is on
Pleasure and pain in life are the same
For I believe, life in matter is a game
We all play on this world, but technology won't arise
Retalliation of nature, selfdestruction our demise
It's all a game
(Chorus)
Enter now or leave forever, what will await?
Is it victory or defeat, it's neither, this is fate
Playing games on this so called world, your next sin
Denial of war between earth and man, so let the fight begin
It's all a game
(Chorus)
Ben
Is life for real, or is it just the antfarm of the Gods.
I believe that if we all do not stop destroying this world, it will eventually destroy us.

Reflections of your inner thoughts
Is only what your books have brought
Fictional reality is what you live and won't defy
Interpretations of others you will deny
You know the words but not the meaning
Close your eyes and keep on dreaming
No discussion, just you at word
Forcing yourself while no one has heard
Your river of words is only a reproduction
Believing in the pages has led to your seduction
Surrounding you now a wall that never dies?
The wall might break down, words are just lies
Deep inside, not strong enough
The outside world a life too tough
Yet something deeper wants to believe in yourself
But is doesn't confirm to the book on your shelf
No comprehension of what is going on
Total confusion, all is going wrong
Now open your eyes and dare to take a look
'Cause we tell you, your life was not written in a book
Ben & Steven

Hehe, well this one has a nice story to it.. We wrote this song together, because our mutual
mother-in-law (Don't ask!) had a bit of a way in forcing her opinion on to others. Not that big
a problem you might say, but it is if she changes it after every book she reads. She was kind of
spiritually focussed. So we decided to write this song for her and make clear that we were fed
up with her ways. Hehe, and gave her some advice as well.
The song itself isn't all that good, but i hope you can feel the emotions we had that day,
because they are really strong in this one

Over hills, into night
Worship me on my glory ride
All the monsters in this world defeated
No more to do, all quests yet completed
Now I am jobless and without a home
Living of my fame, everywhere I roam
Went to unemploymentoffice today
But "Get out!" was the only thing they'd say
I Guess I'll have to face it
Now that I'm alone
The use of my life
Just turn me to stone
Nowhere to go with nothing to do
A redundant warlord is the worst thing for you
Sitting at home check out the box
Only thing active is checking the locks
God, what frustration, what did I do
If I were a god, I wouldn't do this to you
One more time I pick up my trusty sword
Swing it around, like supposed to, a demonish lord
One more warcry
One last swing
See what glory my next life will bring
Steven
� 10-2-1997
Hahaha, this is probably the worst one on here. Just something I wrote when my imagination
was going wild. But i just couldn't let you out on this one. The collection wouldn't be
complete without it.

(Spoken Intro:)
There is light beyond the dark
He who dwells in this darkness, shall forever gaze upon the reasons
why he seeks the light, without reaching his destination.
Living in serenity
Next in line a fallacy
Waiting for eternity
Walk away in secrecy
(Pre-Chorus:)
Welcome; into the journey of the mind
Enter; a world of emptiness and pain
Tremble; as you cut loose from the strain
(Chorus:)
Feel the power deep inside called confessions of the mind
Seen it all with my own eyes, I won't follow, I'm not blind
Looking at a seperation
Cannot give enough attention
Working out the accusation
Find the answer, comprehension
(Pre-Chorus)
(Chorus)
Can it be it's liable
Living is frustrational
Seems to you it's legible
Darkness is perpetual
(Pre-Chorus)
(Chorus)
(repeat 1st verse)
Ben Gerritsen
No description on this one yet, working on it.

And there I sit in the light of the candle
Chained to the floor, I seem unable to hanlde
Head in my hands, you've confessed to me your lies
I'm staring into nothing as tears fill my eyes
Silence all those years, suddenly just pain
'You and I together have nothing more to gain'
By bringing me these words, you have found some peace
But the love that pumped my blood slowly began to cease
(Chorus:)
Now I face the fact
And now's the time to act
What I cannot provide
Someone else just has to bring
'Cause I know, I gave you everything
Walking into night, I no longer welcome dawn
Although I see it clearly, still it feels so wrong
But this time it is final, not another intermission
You've forced me to the fatal decision
(Chorus)
(Bridge:)
One look back, one last sigh
In my mind I already said goodbye
Freed from desire, I fall into the fire
My future life is blackened by the thorns that sting my bleeding heart
Crucified by those who say I'm to blame for the path I walk, it's in their eyes
Damn you all to hell followers of lies
I live on the edge, balance I will not find
Neither do I care, there's nothing left to live for
My dark new life without you by my side is the only reality
I hold no regret and I will not forget, I close my eyes and witness fatality
Ben
Ok....uhm...Relations have there ups and downs.(Boy this one sounds down).
Lets just say we worked things out.
If that is not to your satisfaction, I'll tell you personally what it all means.

In dreams I used to have, I found
Life is now, so I would hold ground
But what it brought, was seen in my eyes
Feelings of anger have built to rise
Now I no longer dream at night, forced into reality
But this just cannot be real, this amount of pain I feel
As I spend my days running around in circles
And I always end right where I have begun
(Chorus:)
Until the meanings come to justify
My way of life and the reasons why
I will remain in anger
Remain in anger
To lose the fear
Darkness holds more than the day
There's just no fire to light your way
And whenever I have found a light
I find myself running back, towards the night
Hide once more, in the deep dark shadows
Which always fills my mind with certain ease
As the days go by like slowly moving circles
And whenever I awake, I've reached the dawn
(Chorus:)
Until the meanings come to justify
My way of life and the reasons why
I will remain in anger
Remain in anger
To lose the fear
Trying to find, something with a purpose
As I spent my days running around in circles
To undo myself of what I,ve always held so near
To lose the fear
Ben
A reflection of my past life. There was so much going on at once that I never had a chance to
figure it all out.
It caused me a short temper which I alone have under control.

Now I stand here on this desolate site
Once a spectator in a fierce bloody night
Here on this same field, a warhorn was blown
Centuries ago men fought for the throne
Survival of the fittest the order of the day
Strong will survive, weakened fade away
Isn't this what nature had meant
When evolution, for us, took a blurry bend
Maybe this time just ain't right for me
'Cause for one thing, I just can't see
Why well advanced societies are right
If they hold a thousand deaths more in sight
Someday maybe I'll know my place
How I fit in on this silly earth
For the error lies not in culture or race
It lies in the time of my birth
Steven
This is more like a poem, that describes how i sometimes feel about our society. It all seems so
blurry, surreal. Sometimes I even feel like i don't belong here, and then I have a terrible
craving for woodlands, and simple little shacks... I don't know.
Maybe i was born too late

On top of a cathedral sitting there all dressed in grey
Wings of stone on his back, but he'll never fly away
Although he has the wish to see more than he already knows
This is his place and time, nowhere for him to go
Sitting here I no longer cry
This could never be my destiny
Just like birds I will be free
For all with wings can fly
(Bridge:)
Far away lies fascination
Will he reach his destination
(Chorus:)
Looking onto the world with glazing eyes
For him there are no secrets
The watcher in disquise
Forever looking down at people on the ground
As a chapel catches his eyes, a new desire found
A strange new sensation tingles up his stone cold spine
Knowing when leaving, he'll pay for this crime
Sitting high upon his throne
Speculating reason
Dreams in mind made of stone
Catching only treason
(Bridge:)
Far away lies fascination
Will he reach his destination
(Chorus:)
Looking onto the world with glazing eyes
For him there are no secrets
The watcher in the skies
Baptized in rain
Only dreams to gain
Watcher in the skies
Hearing all your cries
People pass in vain
But he feels their pain
Watcher in disquise
Dreamcatcher never dies
(Bridge:)
Far away lies fascination
Will he reach his destination
A chapel in the distance atrackts his glancing eye
He still awaits
And contemplates
And casts his dreams aside
The place of his creation, a high and windy stand
There he often fantasized
But never saw it realized
He's now waiting for his end
(Bridge:)
Far away lies fascination
Will he reach his destination
(Chorus:)
Looking onto the world with glazing eyes
For him there are no secrets
The watcher in disquise

Oh my god isn't this a long one.
This one is about people that wait for their chances in life to happen, without realizing they
have to create their own.
They feel, like a Gargoyle, unable to act and they can only watch all that happens, without
understanding why or how.
(Steven): I had a dream about this one, WITH the music to it!! GREAT!!!
Previous | Main | Next
On a cold late night, I closed the door
Walking in circles, my heart feels sore
Clearing my mind from the day before
You told me, you won't come back anymore
Many feelings come, time passes slow
Please take your time, I need you so
Why did you leave, why did you go
For silent reasons I'll never know
(Chorus:)
And now I stand here all alone
Wondering where you have gone
Gaze at the skies like in my dreams
Nothing is there or so it seems
Taste the tears that I have cried
Seems to me I am denied
All that once made me feel whole
Is now lost
In the reflections of my soul
I am a fool, I see that now
I'd take you back if I knew how
I'll pay the price I have to pay
If I could only make you stay
Without you here nothing to gain
Never ment to cause you pain
I cry my tears, they fall like rain
As I slowly go insane
(Chorus:)
And now I stand here all alone
Wondering where you have gone
Gaze at the skies like in my dreams
Nothing is there or so it seems
Taste the tears that I have cried
Seems to me I am denied
All that once made me feel whole
Is now lost
In the reflections of my soul
Ben
This one is not about myself or any other fine person I know.
Denied love, and no way to undo the damage that already has been done.

All down there heed the warning
The time has come
Hello, I fly once more, I come to claim
You are mine and I will tame
From under the ice, I bring you the flame
The lands of winter belong to me
Look up here, so you can see
The ice-cold claws of destiny
(Bridge:)
Fear the ice
Beneath it lies
The one who'll take
Draconis will awake
(Chorus:)
Dragon of ice, waiting there to rise
And conquer your reign over valleys
Climbing to the skies, death is in your eyes
But what will become
When the people beneath bring you down
My god I'm so good, for more I yearn
You people down there will never learn
Defy me once more and I will make you burn
Ha, ha
You choose to fight, well you may try
It's oh so nice to hear your last goodbye
I'll howl and growl and steal a sheep to fry
(Bridge)
(Chorus)
You make your plans when I do my soaring
But you're scared to death when I release my roaring
I find you people a little boring
I'm made of ice so you can't slaughter
Is it me you want when I drink some water
Careful now, I might just eat a daughter
(Bridge)
(Chorus)
Ben
One day I read all the lyrics we had written and discovered alot of fear and dark things when
you just read the words.
So I decided to write something without the dark pitch, guess what happened.
This is about nothing but fun in writing it.(Well I got a good laugh anyway!)
