Solace

[original text in Dutch by André Verbeek] [translation by Damen] [music: Damen] [arranged by Crimson Falls] Still so many plans So many expectations So much things to share Spring was already in the air And the green grass to play on Together Solace Death is so hard to take All our dreams, gone with the wind A broken life, a bruised future Only sorrow and questions remain Words don't matter anymore Just the silence And the memories of beautiful days Bring it all back to life Solace Pray for the strength to carry the pain Open your hands looking for peace Carry our love And us who remain Solace Death… choose for death… a dark and cold thought… Our life as a family must have stood still… you were gone… you choose to take another path, a path we couldn't follow. A path that feels dark and chill, the path of death. Death was your choice… A choice that keeps us questioning… Why? You'll never be able to answer us… For a long period I struggled with these questions, I changed, saw myself as an incomplete person… But growing older helps me to reconcile with the deed you did. Deep inside I know that you, in your eyes, back then, choose ‘the best solution' for yourself and our family… That's why there are moments I can let you and the past go… Thinking about how it could have been from time to time… but also being happy with my life now and letting you go a little… Like you chose yourself to go…
