To Slay this Dreamer

Anneke van Giersbergen is the woman with the voice. The voice that I've been obsessed with. But her face is also worth some obsession as well. Everything about her is beautiful, physically and not. Damn.


Her lyrics are amazing too. I love her style of writing and singing. Wow, I am obsessed now. Awesome. I also just found and added an acoustic cover she did of "The Blower's Daughter." Amazing.
A Life All Mine
Razor sharp I cut
The bull from my life
Too blunt your knife
To slay this dreamer

We might be dogs astray
No running line will hold us
So rather kick and kill me
I'll be butchered all the same

No words are spoken
But the world is broken

'Cause I want something
Something all wrong done
A life instead of mere living
Folding crumbling withering oh hell
What difference when working the way

The crown of my work
Is what I shall gain
At the end of my days

Daylight awake to a puppet world
No strings attach to this body of mine
Folding crumbling withering oh well
The punished pushed along the line
All my actions, all my moves
A life all mine to lose

The crown of my work
A life all mine to lose
A life all mine
Is what I choose
At the end of my days

Golden Grounds
As the sand
spreads wide open
and the glow of the sun
pearls the skin
All hope is craving fluids
and the yearning to where we've been

Golden grounds
so absorbing
When the heat of the sun
boils the skin
We have to stand the test of nature
to return to where we've been

Hold on my saviour
Keep my heart in holy dimensions
Drag me on your back
for one more day
One more day

One more day

You give
You learn
You live
You learn
I guess what ever you may find
It's all right to eat a piece of your mind

Slide over, you

The fabric softener of the mind
makes everything lazy
and we dive down

Slide over, you
