"Jillian (I'd Give My Heart)" track #3 on the album The Silent Force

"Jillian (I'd Give My Heart)" written by Spierenburg, Martinus J. E. Martijn / Den Adel, Sharon J. / Westerholt, Robert.

I've been dreaming for so long

To find a meaning to understand

The secret of life

Why am I here to try again?

Will I always, will you always See the truth

when it stares you in the face?

Will I ever, will I never free myself By breaking these chains?

I'd give my heart, I'd give my soul I'd turn it back, it's my fault

Your destiny is forlorn Have to live till it's undone

I'd give my heart, I'd give my soul I'd turn it back And then at last I'll be on my way

I've been living for so long

Many seasons passed me by

I've seen kingdoms through ages

Rise and fall, I've seen it all

I've seen the horror, I've seen the wonders Happening just in front of my eyes

Will I ever, will I never free myself By making it right?

I'd give my heart, I'd give my soul I'd turn it back, it's my fault

Your destiny is forlorn Have to live till it's undone

I'd give my heart, I'd give my soul I'd turn it back And then at last I'll be on my way

Jillian our dream ended long ago

All our stories and all our glory I held so dear

We won't be together For ever and ever, no more tears

I'll always be here until the end

Jilian

Oh My Jil.. Jilian

I'd give my heart, I'd give my soul I'd turn it back, it's my fault

Your destiny is forlorn Have to live till it's undone

I'd give my heart, I'd give my soul I'd turn it back And then at last I'll be on my way

"The Howling" track #6 on the album The Heart of Everything

"The Howling" written by Gibson, Daniel Bjorn/westerholt, Robert/den Andel, Sharon

We've been seeing what you wanted Got us cornered right now

Fallen asleep from our vanity Might cost us our lives

I hear they're getting closer Their howls are sending chills down my spine

And time is running out now They're coming down the hills from behind

When we start killing

It's all coming down right now

From the nightmare we've created I want to be awakened somehow

When we start killing

It all will be falling down

From the hell that we're in All we are is fading away

When we start killing

We've been searching all night long But there's no trace to be found

It's like they all have just vanished But I know they're around

I feel they're getting closer Their howls are sending chills down my spine

And time is running out now They're coming down the hills from behind

When we start killing

It's all coming down right now

From the nightmare we've created I want to be awakened somehow

When we start killing

It all will be falling down

From the hell that we're in All we are is fading away

When we start killing

When we start killing

I feel they're getting closer Their howls are sending chills down my spine

And time is running out now They're coming down the hills from behind

The sun is rising, the screams have gone

Too many have fallen, few still stand tall

Is this the ending of what we've begun?

Will we remember what we've done wrong?

When we start killing

It's all coming down right now

From the nightmare we've created I want to be awakened somehow

When we start killing

It all will be falling down

From the hell that we're in All we are is fading away

When we start killing

When we start killing

When we start killing

"Stand My Ground" track #8 on the album The Silent Force.

"Stand My Ground" written by Kooreneef, Han / Gibson, Daniel Bjorn / Den Andel, Sharon / Westerholt, Robert.

I can see When you stay low, nothing happens Does it feel right?

Late at night Things I thought, I put behind me Haunt my mind

I just know there's no escape now Once it sets its eyes on you

But I won't run, have to stare it in the eye

Stand my ground, I won't give in

No more denying

I got to face it Won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside

If I don't make it, someone else will stand my ground

It's all around Getting stronger, coming closer Into my world

I can feel That it's time for me to face it Can I take it?

Though this might just be the ending Of the life I held so dear But I won't run, there's no turning back from here

Stand my ground, I won't give in

No more denying

I got to face it Won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside

If I don't make it, someone else will stand my ground

All I know for sure is I'm trying

I will always stand my ground

Stand my ground, I won't give in

I won't give in

No more denying

I got to face it Won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside

If I don't make it, someone else will

Stand my ground, I won't give in

No more denying

I got to face it Won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside

If I don't make it, someone else will

Stand my ground

"The Cross" track #5 on the album The Heart of Everything.

"The Cross" written by Westerholt, Robert / Den Adel, Sharon J. / Spierenburg, Martinus J. E. Martijn.

Nothing's ever changed, you still turn away

You've washed your hands, you've made that all too clear

You just keep on living this lie

You refuse to see, you're denying me

The cross I bear but you don't seem to care

Even Judas knew he had lied

I keep wondering why I'm still calling your name through my tears

Why have you waited to embrace me, my dear?

Cold is your silence, denying what is real

I'm still wondering why I'm still calling your name, my dear

I'm sorry if you can't stand the naked truth

All you see is how you want it to be

So you keep on living this life

Release me from this cross after all these years

Oh, call my name and help me with this weight

Even though it comes far too late

I keep wondering why I'm still calling your name through my tears

Why have you waited to embrace me, my dear?

Cold is your silence, denying what is real

I'm still wondering why I'm still calling your name, my dear

And I wonder, oh I wonder

In my heart I still hope you will open the door

You can purify it all, answer my call

Why?

Why?

Why have you waited to embrace me, my dear?

Cold is your silence, denying what is real

I'm still wondering why I'm still calling your name

And I wonder, oh I wonder

You can purify it all, answer my call

You can purify it all, answer my call

"What Have You Done" track #6 on the album Black Symphony.

"What Have You Done" written by Gibson, Daniel Bjorn / Den Andel, Sharon / Westerholt, Robert.

Would you mind if I hurt you?

Understand that I need to

Wish that I had other choices

Than to harm the one I love

What have you done now?

"What Have You Done" Featuring: Keith Caputo

I know I'd better stop trying

You know that there's no denying

I won't show mercy on you no

I know I should stop believing

I know there's no retrieving

It's over now what have you done?

What have you done now?

I... I've been waiting for someone like you

But now you are slipping away

Why why does fate make us suffer?

There's a curse between us between me and you

What have you done now?

What have you done now?

Would you mind if I killed you?

Would you mind if I tried to? 'Cause you have

Turned into my worst enemy

You carry hate that I don't feel

It's over now what have you done?

What have you done now?

I... I've been waiting for someone like you

But now you are slipping away

Why why does fate make us suffer?

There's a curse between us, between me and you

What have you done now?

What have you done now?

What have you done now?

I will not fall

won't let it go

We will be free

when it ends

I... I've been waiting for someone like you

But now you are slipping away
