Crimson Falls - 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…
