[Instrumental]



2. “A NEW DAY RISING”
Lyrics: I. van der Stoel & D. van Wijgerden

I've left my home since time long gone,
The way for me was not yet known.
My destiny seemed dark and grim,
A life with failure and disgrace.

But amidst the forest's oldest trees,
I stumbled ‘pon a sight of me,
Falling oft, not giving in,
My lot was suddenly revealed.

Chorus:
A new day rising,
Another day to live again.
A new day rising,
Another day to claim my place.

A new day rising,
Another day to live or die.
A new day rising,
Another day to try!

This scene before my weary eyes,
The sound of song among the trees,
Full of might and heroic deeds,
Marks the start of my long quest!



3. “PRODIGY OF THE SEA”
Lyrics: I. van der Stoel & D. van Wijgerden

Risen from the marshlands,
A lone soul, stout and brave.
Desiring to be nowhere else,
And no one's slave.

His fate is predestined,
Guided by divine hand,
He's to grow to greatness,
Twixt sea and land.

Chorus:
Lo there! See the lion awake!
Brave and fearless he does stand.
Never doubt his mighty roar;
Let all beware!

Battling the floods and tides,
Foes surround him evermore.
But fight he does and he does well;
Prodigy of the Sea!

The eagle came and took his home.
His honour though they couldn't take.
A foreign king may rule his land,
But he shan‘t betake!

Tyranny he overthrew,
After eighty years of strife.
But when it's time to march again,
He'll follow the fife.

(chorus x2)

He did roam to foreign shores,
Spice and riches to be found.
His enemies watched jealously,
He shan't be downed!
Risen from the marshlands,
A lone soul, stout and brave.
He did grow to greatness,
Twixt sea and land.

(chorus)



4. “AWAITING THE END”
Lyrics: I. van der Stoel

I see the sun up in the sky,
From where I lie, waiting to die.
I never thought my end would come,
This bright and sunlit day.

But sorrow will not haunt my mind,
Through my life the years were kind.
And pain there was, but never long,
for the life I lived was full.

My blood that flows into the ground,
Still flows in other veins.
Revenge will be my son's delight,
My blood forever reigns!

Darkness falls on where I lie,
My journey starts towards the sky.
To sit amidst the golden hall,
Awaiting the end of time.
