KNIGHT AREA LYRICS

1. Unbroken

[M. Bogert, lyrics; M. Smit]

Eyes closed, almost, your skin turning white

Willing to sacrifice, a love at first sight
Take my hand and enter my world
Let me reach out to you and hand you the pearl
Of eternity...

Saving someone worth saving
I'll give eternal life
My fangs will bite
And I will make you my own

You won't know what hit you from out of the blue
You won't know what bit you, I will come for you

Woken, unbroken, lifting the dark
Receive my kiss of life and your eyes will spark
Come near, no fear, just come along
I want you by my side and sing you my song
Of loving and crying sin
Of living forever

Saving someone worth saving
I'll give eternal life
My fangs will bite
And I will make you my own

Hear my voice, breathe again
Welcome to the circle
Waking to the darkest night
That will become your closest ally
Preying on your nameless souls of mankind

Take me in your arms again
Feed the hand that bites you
Worlds unseen as in a dream
Will all be lying at your feet for
You to rule, my black bride of the night

Woken but still unbroken
Now you'll belong to me
Eternally our allied souls will fly

2. Dreamworld

[P.J. Vink, M. Bogert, lyrics: M. Smit]

What is this place, what have I done?
Something must have gone terribly wrong
Where it went wrong I may never learn
But somewhere I've taken a very wrong turn
The faces the places, their sound and name
All too familiar but not quite the same
It's like a dream, and really absurd
Looks like I'm trapped in a parallel world

Finding the way
Back to the gates of the real world
Time and space
Will they ever align
Welcome to the dreamworld

I'm certain there must be one gateway or more
But I've climbed every stair and tried every door
Wrecking my brain for something that makes sense
Trying to track back the chain of events
The timelines that once were so nicely aligned
Have somehow strangely become intertwined
A time window one day may open for me
And let me step back to my world and be free

A door that leads me to a stair
That leads me to room
That leads me to a twilight zone

A clock that leads me to a time
That leads me to a cause
That leads me back to the beginning

Strange how things will always change
Will never be the same
In this great parody of reality

Waiting for the hours
To lead me back in time
Visions of a dreamer
A never ending night ooh

Losing my way
Back to the gates of the real world
Time and space, never they will align
Trapped inside the dreamworld

3. The Reaper

[G. Klazinga, lyrics: M. Smit]

My dearest friend
Where have you gone
You've lost and nowhere to be found
We all came down
Knocked on your door
But there was no light, no sound
No trace
What could have taken you that night?
We're scared to death
For what might be
For the fate that lies ahead
And one by one
We will go on
And take each other by the hand

Nothing will be the same
Now that I've heard his name
While the men looked around in fear
It was whispered in my ear
He works in silence
For all we know he might be near

Wondering who he might demand
We held each other's hands
Praying in the fading light
That we would make it through the night
But then the darkness came
And when we lit a flame
And counted heads of all the men
We were one down once again

Awake the other night
When I heard a sound outside
A pounding if some fight was fought
It was just as I had thought
On my doorstep
I found his footprint made of blood

Couldn't sleep that night
'Cause I was petrified
The truth I was about to learn
But still the questions burn
While my life remains afloat
I'll leave a final note
To whom it may concern
Tonight will be my turn

A pounding at my door
I've heard that sound before
The struggle was in vain
I hear him roar my name
Can there be some mistake
For soon the day will break
I cannot comprehend
Can this be the end?

He looks you in the eyes
His breath feels cold as ice
That's when you realise
Time is up

4. Box of Toys

[G. Klazinga, lyrics: M. Smits]

In an old box full of toys
Some for girls, some for boys
Left forgotten in a dusty corner
There was suddenly a noise
I believed it was a voice
Softy talking to me from the dark
Hidden memories you will find
We are the keepers or your mind
If you open this box wide
We'll tell the story of your life
Living proofs that tell the story
Of what you're proud, for what you're sorry
Secrets you don't want hear
What you love and what you fear

Tell me said the teddy bear
Are you the same that used to care
Took me in your arms when you were crying
Isn't it a little strange
From the outside you have changed
But inside your still that little boy
All the games you used to play
Have made you what you are today
If you open this box wide
We'll tell the story of your life
Living proofs that tell the story
Of what you're proud, for what you're sorry
Scandals you thought no one knew
But now they're coming back for you

Light shining from the open door
We'll follow you for evermore

Living proofs that tell the story
Of what you're proud, for what you're sorry
Secrets you don't want hear
What you love and what you fear

5. Starlight

[M. Bogert, lyrics: M. Smit]

Here's a story about a boy who ran away from home
Mom and dad were always out and left him on his own
Realising no one cared for him he left one day
The only roof above his head it was the Milky Way

Starlight starlight showing him the Way
Don't be afraid, go there
Don't be afraid, go there
Starlight starlight to be your light of day
Don't be afraid, show them
Don't be afraid, show them that you dare

Trying to stay out of trouble the cops were on to him
Thought he could be put away but the evidence was thin
He learned to play guitar to show he had no fear
And with his band he made the record of the year

Starlight starlight shining down on his face
Don't be afraid, go there
Don't be afraid, go there
Starlight starlight shining down on the stage
Don't be afraid, show them
Don't be afraid, show them

Starlight starlight shining down on his face
Don't be afraid, go there
Don't be afraid, go there
Starlight starlight shining down on the stage
Don't be afraid, show them
Don't be afraid, show them that you dare

6. Heaven and Beyond

[G. Klazinga, lyrics: M. Smit]

Looking back on my life I can finally say
It has been worth living
The were beautiful moments and memories
And pure exultation

And as for times of deception and times of despair
That can't be avoided
No regrets for the sorrow and the suffering
It was but confusion

We're going to heaven and beyond
We're going to heaven
Waiting for whatever will come
We're going to heaven

Nothing comes without reason we are part of the plan
Have our own role to play
And all we'll remember from our past lives
Are our dreams for tomorrow

We're going to heaven and beyond
We're going to heaven
Waiting for whatever will come
We're going to heaven

When one day we've learned from our fatal mistakes
And the battles are over
We'll look down on the world with a smile
And all be forgiven

7. Saviour of Sinners

[M. Bogert, lyrics: M. Smit]

My soul awakes
Back from the dead
Who looked me in the eyes
I'll escape him again
The heartbeat or a life
That's hanging by a thread

Saviour of the sinners who call my name
I will pay the penitence for your shame
Soon your wretched lives take a fatal turn
Act upon a dream
That may never return

The underworld
Where demons lie in wait
The eve of judgement day
They'll rise again
Invading our world
Through the open gate

Saviour of the sinners who call my name
I will pay the penitence for your shame
Soon your wretched lives take a fatal turn
Act upon a dream
That may never return

8. Eternal Light

[Instrumental]

9. Twins of Sins

[G. Klazinga, lyrics: M. Smit]

Is it me that I recognise
Different minds with the same pair of eyes
The same lips speak, identical chin
The same morning light falls on the same skin

We're twins we're twins
We're twins we're twins

Can't remember how we landed on earth
Or whatever happened at our moment of birth
I have dreams, he has the brains
The same blood runs through both our veins

He's bullying me and tells me l'm blind
I never know what's on his devious mind
He never will ask how I might feel
I go where he goes it's a done deal
I'm not that clever and l'm not that strong
He only knows what is right and what's wrong
I only blindly follow commands
Before I know I'm having blood on my hands

Twins, Twins of, Twins of sins Gemini
We're brothers
Never pay for our crimes
Twins, Twins of, Twins of sins Gemini
We're brothers
Never pay for our lies

We shared the times of yesterday
And the same strands of DNA
We share the same lives we are one
Never afraid of what will come
We shared the times of yesterday
And the same strands of DNA
We share the same lives we are one
Brothers in crime our will be done

Waking in sweat from a really bad dream
What could have happened, what could have been
No memories of yesterday night anymore
No recollection of the day before
Lucky that my twin brother is there
He says not to worry and will take care
Tells me that all went according to plan
And why the bed sheets are bloody again

Don't you know that as of lately
I'm feeling not so well
People have been telling me
I'm talking to myself
It seems strange to have a brother
No one else can see
Could it be
That all this time
There has been only me?

Goodbye now my dearest brother
From now l'm on my own
I'll be on my way now
On my way back home

10. Tree of Life

[G. Klazinga, lyrics: M. Smit]

Growing from the dark shadows
Towering over our heads
Rooted in caves and in mountains
Places mankind will dread

All its branches are spanning the horizons
All the living will climb the tree of life

Fed by slow flowing rivers
And blinding rays from the sun
We're starting all at the bottom
Where once every climb has begun

And we'll make our way up to the sunshine
All the living will climb the tree of life

With every step we take
We separate ourselves
Further from the deep, deep ground
That ground that ties us all
To what is left on earth
And living in blind darkness

Watching every step afraid that I might slip
Trying not to look down

Peering through the leaves I think I sometimes see
What could be light of day

Countless the petrified climbers
Fearing the dangers up high
The older they get, the higher
And greater their fall from the sky

11. Memories

[M. Bogert, lyrics: M. Smit]

Thought I would be ready when that moment came
When the night took both your souls away
Now I feel an emptiness inside
I try to fill with memories
In my mind
I'm drifting back in time

Years they passed but things they still remained the same
You were always watching over me
Now I am a man but in your eyes
I was still that small child
In your minds
Time always stood still

Find
Those memories inside
There is still a child in all of us
Try
To keep that flame alight
Looking for the child in all of us
Before it's gone

I still can hear your voices' sound inside my head
Though so many words remained unsaid
All the conversations on the phone
Now there's only silence
But your flames
Still burn inside of me

Find
Those memories inside
There is still a child in all of us
Try
To keep the flame alive
Looking for the child in all of us
Before it's gone
