lyrics

Something is not finished
Something is left to be done
The air is weighing down on us
It makes us want to run

There is a message written on the wall
A call the king should heed
Blinded by his anger
His eyes refuse to read

The messenger on the balcony
Breaks his nails on the window pane
The king he does not see or hear
He swears and swings his cane

The tears that should be cried
Are locked inside a cage
He has thrown away the key
No mercy in his rage

The queen got up and headed for the door
The king he moves on his checkered floor
His face is stern
He believes that kings don't cry
(Keeping his cold logic by his side)
And his smile, bitter as bile
Is eating us up inside

about

Diftong The Netherlands

Welcome to Diftong’s heartfelt songs!

In 2022, after six albums with poetic songs on the edges of rock, country and folk, I decided the time was right to start something completely different: writing songs in Dutch. These Dutch songs will be released as single tracks and are accompanied by a blog (BOSGOD).

I sure hope that you enjoy my music and lyrics. Thanks for listening!
