Broeders

Altijd zo ver weg maar ineens toch zo dichtbij. Eventjes verbonden in het bloed, in razernij.

Ink-zwarte vleugels overkoepelen ons bestaan. In angst zijn wij geboren en in angst zullen wij vergaan.

Even zijn wij broeders Alleen niet onder dezelfde naam.

Onze broeders hebben ons verlaten Maar vergeten zijn zij niet.

Ceci n'est pas une religion.

-Naar aanleiding van de aanslag in Parijs-

Home  (WIP Song Lyrics)

Home is where my senses tell me Not to go. Where you reside, my deep desire. I should go, I should know Better.

Let me be your devotee. I will show you that you’re heavenly. The way the winds tend to your hair. The way these shadows emphasize your elegance.

Let me stay a while in vain In what I know will never be my world, my domain. No one knows that I take aim At all of these panics inside of my brain.

[merlintunes]

At World's End

If I sail to the end of the world Will you follow in my steps? If I pass the liquid veil of earth Will you leave behind unrest?

One small step or a single drop Of our tears shed in rejoice, Of reconciliation, Of reuniting with our God.

Inspired by a dream. ‘Leave this earth and meet your maker, for you and he are one.’ 

[merlintunes]

Nooit meer voelen

Anders dan de anderen, Eenmaal maar nooit meer. Er valt niks te veranderen Aan de wonden van weleer.

De eenzaamheid die wint van mij, Denigreert mij keer op keer. In dromen zal ik nooit meer voelen. Ik wil, ik zal, ik kan niet meer.

Kharne & Embros (1): ‘Kharne’

“Het spijt me.”

Dat waren de woorden die van haar lippen ontsnapten toen we nog een laatste blik worpen op wat ons hele leven ons huis was geweest. Vertrouwen en veiligheid waren woorden die ik nooit meer zou geloven. Niet meer nu alles wat ooit vertrouwd en veilig was weg was. Verorberd, opgeslokt door leegte. Als een koude wind sloop het onze veilige haven in. Het zoog het leven uit de wereld die voor ons alles betekende.

We noemden het Kharne, een brenger van onheil.

(Dit is deel van een (waarschijnlijk) kort verhaal.)

My Winter

In the winter I came Until to dust I decayed. My faith had been broken On warm summer days. All that is left now Is the luminous resin, The essence of winter Locked tight in my heart.

A Memory

Once upon a midnight, dreary I forgot my name. This house has no more meaning Now I don’t want to stay.

Hidden in the walls Are all the faces of the past. Crying in the bedroom Is just the thought of you that’s left.

~Inspired by Edgar Allan Poe~

Her.

I remember skies of lightless hues dancing in front of my eyes in swirling motions. Jet black wings engulfing what little remained of my peace of mind. The ‘what if’s’ weigh heavier on my soul than the thoughts of all that is well. I’m cruel to myself in all the wrong ways at all the wrong times.

The only comfort I find is the one I find in her presence. It lightens even the heaviest burden on my shoulders And makes me tend to lose my cruel nature.

~Inspired by the life of a dear friend~

Blinded

I’ve found myself at an impasse in life. The part of me I always deemed familiar Has left with the autumn winds

I am terrified of the part it has left behind For it is me that I fear most of all.

Hiding in my own shadow I am a master of denial, Very adept at positioning myself to be someone who I am not, Someone who I think I must strive to be.

I am sure I speak for a big part of our generation when I say this: We are blind to how powerful we actually are.

We close our eyes to the truth as if it were burning our eyelids. We glue our sight to our boots as if it was always meant to be that way.

We’ve heard mountains of proof but swim in seas of regret. We hear a howling of sorrow when we think of us back then.
