The Other World Is Nigh
 

This song I wrote after spending my first night sleeping out in the open, just under the bare sky in the arms of Mother Earth. I have seldom felt so save and it was a real magical experience.

Dit lied heb ik geschreven nadat ik voor het eerst een nacht buiten heb geslapen, gewoon onder de blote hemel in de armen van Moeder Aarde. Ik heb me zelden zo veilig gevoeld en het was een echt magische ervaring.

The Other World Is Nigh


When the birds are silent other voices speak
And amongst the shadows other creatures creep.
When the skies are darkened other wings will fly
And then I know for certain: The Other World is nigh…

When the hawk stops calling and the flowers fade
I walk between the trees, leaves dream shade in shade.
When the stars all shine and the moon is high
Then I know for certain: The Other World is nigh…

When my thoughts stop spinning and my mind is free
I can find the Gate and I hold the Key.
I step through the veils, time stops passing by
Then I know for certain: The Other World is nigh…

When the birds are silent other voices speak
And amongst the shadows other creatures creep.
When the skies are darkened other wings will fly
And then I know for certain: The Other World is nigh…
