AS VOICES SPEAK

 
When we were a solid band again it was time to realise our dreams
and let our voices speak. We recorded our firts CD at studio Het Pand by Frits.
 The artwork was made by Beer. And the logo by Elmo van Slingerland.
And the catologenumber had our own fairy formula: H2O.11je
And we released our first cd independently.
The following tracks were recorded:
As voices speak Asrai Gothic Rock
  • Pain
  • As voices speak
  • Burn
  • Name
  • Recall
  • Rumours
  • To interfere
  • A part of you
  • Light

We had a photoshoot with Carla van der Marel,  Our CD; As voices Speak together with this picture convinced Michal Zoller to sign us to the Label Poison Ivy Records.

In Germany we remasterd our songs and a German version was issued. New pictures we added to the artwork and  those were made by Rudolph Favier

Lyrics

RECALL

Cease the light on me

And till the darkling...

alone to see

Voices coming down a wounded sky

 

The air above me

cold and wrong,

the air above me so cold and wrong so cold

so cold and wrong

 

And tell the lies in mystery.

And memories fade in fear

Like sounds that die in whispering

 

As it all seemed so clear...

As angels...

Like blood...

as a river dawn

As a river dawn

 

For all and more to give,

from an empty hand

It's those that blame me to have been

to kiss my soul and die within

to kiss my soul and die within

to kiss my soul and die within

Die…. To kiss my soul

 

To kiss my soul and die within

To kiss my soul and die within

To ...to kiss my soul

 

As unknown reasons

disappeared in anger

Like bright minds cry

 

So did you know,

sounds last forever.

Only we can't hear them die

Only we can't hear them die

Die

 

to kiss my soul and die within

to kiss my soul and die within

to kiss my soul and die within

Die…. To kiss my soul

RUMOURS

A scream, silence, empty words.

You've nothing to say.

Ugly faces, no smile,

but too much talking with empty words.

 

Wishing, that I'll never meet you again.

The moments that you walked away from me.

 

When I look into your eyes,

I've asked myself too many times.

Who are you, all those years toge­ther

the things I hardly know.

Talk to me, touch me, hold me.

But you'­re pointing a knife at me.

The cruelty of the love you've given me.

 

Love hurts and love dies and just to know

your love is a lie.

Can't tell you how hard I've trie­d.

All your secrets we've shared.

The inno­cence is the agony and sorrow of the past.

 

Touch me but you touched her,

You whisper my words to her.

She feels the warm­th of your body,

My body so cold as ice.

Did you ever mean it.

 

Cause I'm the fool and you are the liar.

I'm the fool and you are the liar.

 

Your power is the cruelty that's driving me insane

Your power is the cruelty that's driving me insane

 

Love hurts and love dies, just to know that love is a lie

TO INTERFERE

You never leave me alone

Shouting, a scream

The pain is everywhere

Inside I cry, inside I die

 

The time of sharing is gone

I never see you again

I´m all alone

So where are you

 

Broken glasses

a present for me

I can´t have it

The pain is everywhere

And I must cry

 

There is a rumour

I´m confused

Many people and all alone

I´ve lost myself

Where am I looking for

 

One life, different lives

Everybody lives its own

In my small world

You were always there

 

A PART OF YOU

A part of you. I'm myself.

Chosen for us. To be one.

So we know the things what we've done.

Unknown things. A part of you.

For us.

 

So we go one.

Today or the past, it doesn't matter.

Knowing what's done. We are one, flowing,

Today or the past, flowing

 

Battle, there's somet­hing wrong.

You never listen, why don't you.

It's happened all before. I'm so tired

I'm so tired

 

We go on, we are one

flowing, today or the past

flowing,

 

We go on, so we go on

So we go on

LIGHT

The room is filled with darkness

A crowd they didn't see

All alone and all the people

The crowd they didn't see

 

Is there a moment to reach you

Can my words find a way

A touch to prove you

that the memory will always stay

 

All the things that crossed my mind

Stock my breath and makes me blind

Scared off the things to happen

Victim of this endless fight

 

All the things we never said to you

but in our hearts we'll always do

I take the girl in my arms

Our tears mix all for you

Whispering words of comfort

But in our hearts we know it will never be the same

 

It's hard to say goodbye

It's hard to say goodbye

It's hard

And It hurts

It's hard

And It hurts

 

It's hard to say goodbye

PAIN

The pain it's

making me sick

My eyes...

Everything moves

I won't cry. No I won't

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I hold myself the mirror...

Touch me, hold me...

I'm so afraid

I'm so afraid

My breath

Everybody's hurt my eyes

And love me....

 

 

Because there's a hole inside of me

please fill it up

The clouds...

Everything's changing

I won't grow up

No I won't

Please touch me

 

 

 

 

The pain

The pain is me

The pain is me

 

NO

 

The pain

The pain is me

AS VOICES SPEAK

As voices speak alone,

when bitter tears breaks down.

How should we know.

For what has gone.

Time's lost its mark.

Hidden in a spell

for all and more and more to come.

 

In every day a tear, and honest cry that lie.

When will we ever see the spell that’s growing older

When will we ever see, is to know that we will die

 

Tomorrow is another day so she says,

words that's been spoken the truth for today,

Hear your words and feel your warmth,

so empty, so empty tomorrow.

 

All the moments twisted in my head.

Lost in my heart.

Looking at the past, the time goes so fast,

 

Moments to forgive and moments to forget.

It turned me so sad,

It turned me so sad

And I asked myself what has been wrong.

Tomorrow is another day so she say

BURN

Hey you with your big brown eyes

little lies and no talking

You and your big world

your big world of fantasy

Give me a piece of what's in between

Give me a piece of you

 

Burn, Burn,

 

Just for a while

Your dreams and your sex

and your anger

Now you can give it to me

Now you can give it to me

 

Burn

 

You'll never know what it's like

It's too empty without me

Just me, only me, only me

Just me, only me, let us burn

 

Burn

I look into your eyes

I kiss you so I can't

hear your lies

I kiss you so I can't

hear your lies

So let us burn

Burn

Death is better

Stay with me

 

SOMETHING

Don't close the door

It's cold outside

Nothing seems the same anymore, it is changing

 

And I can't control

So tell me now

 

Is it something I said

Is it something I did

Is it something in between

Just you and me

 

My words turned in accuses

you're in excuses

The distance between

You and me

For filling a memory

 

Is it something I said

Is it something I did

Is it something in between

you and me

Just you and me

 

It's no matter what I say

Well I'm loosing

It's no matter what I do

I've lost, I am losing you

 

Is it something I said

Is it something I did

Is it something in between

you and me

Just you and me

 

 

How could I know

It cut's me like a knife

Different stories,

waiting for your lies

 

So tell me

Is it something I said

Is it something I did

Is it something in between

you and me

 

Just you and me

 

It's circles in my head

It's slipping into time

 

You feel sorry for yourself

You only feel sorry for yourself

NAME

Years ago I found a letter

It wasn't meant for me

But I've read the anger

Your fear, the horror and the a­gony

 

Words I remember,

now they're a part of me

Circle in my head and

I can feel the pain

It's in my name.

The new life you expected,

you never heard them cry

Our arms are empty,

try to live with the lie

Never taken seriously,

Suffering inside

You've lost it all, your family

 

I can't look straight in to your eyes

Afraid of what I see.

No, you can't remember me

And I asked myself

What hurts the most.

It's all in our name

It's all in our name

 

Staring at you, and try to look

into your empty eyes

You whisper words of madness.

What is the world inside

The life you lived so long

You're alive, inside you are dead.

Isn't there a way

What is the game to play

 

How long can you hold

It's been so long, to be afraid

What are the words they whisper.

Try to find a way, to let it all end

It's all in our name

It's all in our name

 

Want to hold you in my arms,

You're so close, so far away

Goodbye I told you so,

promising to be back soon,

A tear in my eye,

I know that I lied

I wished I could do more

 

I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry

Goodbye

I'm so sorry

 

BURNING INSIDE

Shadows falls and the silence returns.

I can't get it out of my head.

Too many secrets, too many times to be left alone.

 

There's no comfort for this all.

Why do you want to hold.

It slides already out of our hands.

 

I wish it wasn't true.

I wish it wasn't true.

Can't you see I'm trying

Can't you see I'm trying

CAN'T YOU SEE I'M TRYING

 

This all comes to an end.

Hunting the clouds,

reaching out for the things

I'm running out

 

A bitter taste in my mouth

reminds me of the pain.

I can't spit it out

I'm too tired to pick up the pieces

I saw too many faces

Hearing one voice

 

It slides already out of our hands, while you're waiting and watching for this isolation

 

How cruel is the stranger inside

Different ways to move too many secrets to hide.

 

I'm too tired to pick up the pieces. I saw too many faces

Hearing one voice

 

It slides already out of our hands,

while you're waiting and watching for this isolation

 

How cruel is the stranger inside

Different ways to move

Too many secrets to hide

MERCY

I never met a man without

lies on his lips,

pain in his heart,

and chaos in his mind.

I never saw a day pass,

without human suffering.

Screaming at me from every

corner of the world.

 

Why move, a soul wind,

through those milli­ons

of meaningless lives

 

Why be trapped by the limitations of human flesh

defiled by the stink and rot of human kind.

 

How many generations,

can the wheel turn,

before it finally spins

out of control?

 

And how much pain

can the children bear

before they collapse

under its weight?

 

My eyes turn away from earth,

move across the place beyond,

Slipping to something I don't claim to understand

Slipping to something I don't claim to understand

 

I never met a man without

lies on his lips,

pain in his heart,

and chaos in his mind.

I never saw a day pass,

without human suffering.

Screaming at me from every

corner of the world.

 

Why move, a soul wind,

through those milli­ons

of meaningless lives

 

Mercy, Mercy, Mercy,

Have fucking mercy
