The end is near (lyrics)

I know the end is near.
In a time of war and fear.
The end is near.
It’s all very clear.
We’re not safe anymore, my dear.
We’re doomed to live in fear.
There seems no end to all my tears.
I know the end is near.
It’s all very clear.
In a time of fear.
I’ve cried too many tears.
But I believe the end is near.
A brand new life…
A brand new world will appear
and wash away all my tears.

Poor bird (lyrics)

Geef een reactie

Why are you picking food on the road?
Why are you risking your life?
Cars waiting for a chance to crash you.
Who will bury you, poor bird?
Don’t you want to live?
There’s plenty of food in the woods.
Plenty of delicious nuts in the trees, in the grass.
Are you losing your home?
Poor bird…
People cutting the woods,
taking away plenty of delicious food.
Poor bird… risking your life on the road.
Who will bury you?

(Part 1)

A lonely boy like me meets a lonely horse like you.
And we meet in a dream.
Where are you?
Where are you?
Where are you?
My black horse, dark stallion.
You, wild horse of the rhythm of life.
Where are you?
Oho…
Where are you?
My white horse, snow stallion.
The risen horse of eternal afterlife.
Where are you?
Aha ah…
Where are you?
I know they hurt you,
but I’ll protect you.
No one will dare! No!
One day…
One day…
One day you will return.
Hurry, sweet love.
A boy like me needs a horse like you.
Run away with me on the beach.
Where are you?
Oho…
Where are you?

(Part 2)

One day we’ll be together, my love.
One day we’ll look in each other’s eyes again.
I wanna feel your body of work.
Work out!
Work out, you strong stallion!
Arousing all my senses.
Work out!
Hey yeah!
Work out!
I wanna feel your body of work.
Work it out!
But most of all I’d like to feel your spirit.
Your spirit…

Song written by Ryan Maurice Roemer in November 2020.
When I was 10 years old in late 1988, two horses started to appear in my dreams.
I was riding one of the horses on the beach. This became a recurring dream.
For many years this horse appeared on the beach in my dreams, night after night after night after night. I’ve never ridden a horse in reality, but I’ve done it plenty of times in dreams. I know that God sent those angelic horses to me in my dreams, because I was bullied at school when I was 10 years old and this went on for many years. I guess God believed I needed these horses for emotional support. They never left me. They are my guardian angels.
Thank you, God, for bringing these angelic beings into my spiritual life.
Nobody else can see them, but I can see and I promise I will always take care of them.

Kiss of life (lyrics)

Geef een reactie

I’ve been watching you.
I’ve seen your daily actions.
What’s the secret you hide?
That’s what I wonder night and day.
Are you meant to be alone?
Or is it me who you just can’t love?
But little stories told me love begins when you kiss.
After that you’re dying, dying for falling in love.

Let me kiss you in a lively way.
Let me make you high with a kiss.
You’re dying for coming alive,
after I’ve given the kiss of life.

I’ve been wanting you.
I feel a burning flame inside.
What’s the thing exciting you?
That’s what I wonder night and day.
Why do people always want to be down on the floor
before screaming ‘more’?
Well, little stories told me love begins when you kiss.
After that you’re dying, dying for falling in love.

Let me kiss you in a lively way.
Let me make you high with a kiss.
You’re dying for coming alive,
after I’ve given the kiss of life.
Let me kiss you in a lively way.
Let me make you high with a kiss.
You’re dying for coming alive,
after I’ve given the kiss of life.

Song written by Ryan Maurice Roemer (17 years old) in spring 1996.
I’m reliving and re-examining my teenage years through some old love songs.
Originally the title of this song was ‘Kiss of death’, but I thought that sounded too cruel, so that’s why I decided a few years ago to change the title to ‘Kiss of life’.
The funny thing is that I wrote this love song when I still had very little experience with intimate kisses. It was all just imagination based on what I had seen in movies and soap operas. I was a wallflower. I didn’t even like French kissing. Honestly, I still don’t like it.

The first love (lyrics)

Geef een reactie

I was so hopeless.
I saw so many things that were so far away from me.
Oh…
I am free now.
The teenager time is over right now.
Oho oho…
It’s the first time for me that I can love, can love myself.
It’s the first time for me that I can love, can love myself.

Snippet from a song written by Ryan Maurice Roemer (13 years old) in May 1992.

One of the first songs that I wrote in the English language after learning English at school. Now that I’m older and have a chance to look back to this old song, I wonder why I believed that my puberty was over, since I was only 13 years old at the time. In fact, puberty had only just begun. My body was still growing taller. But I guess it was wishful thinking. I was changing from a boy into a man. The body started to change, so I had to get used to it. It made me feel insecure. I had to learn to love and embrace this more mature face that I saw in the mirror. Secretly, I wished it would stop, because I was not ready yet to say goodbye to my childhood. I always wanted to be a child forever. I used to believe that adulthood was no fun. But Mother Nature is merciless and manhood was waiting for me at dawn, a gradual change and sexual awakening that was about to change my life forever. And once I had my first orgasm, I didn’t want to go back to my childhood anymore. Nobody had ever told me that maturity could feel so good.

Medley: Not your kind / Wicked beast (lyrics)

Geef een reactie

Something in my heart says:
Boy, my life is so boring.
Know the dark sides of life.
The beauty of darkness and the creep (hiding) behind smoke.
(But everybody says:…)
Don’t talk to that guy!
Life that he lives is not your kind of life, my dear.
Don’t talk to that guy!
Life that he lives is not your kind of life, my dear.
Oeh, ah…
Oeh, ah…
Oeh, ah…
Oeh, ah…
Beast from the dark!
Beast from the dark!
Beast from the dark!
Beast from the dark!
Oeh, yeah…
I am wicked beast forever
and nobody could be as bad as I am,
because you wouldn’t dare!
I am the super greatest wicked beast!
I am wicked beast forever
and nobody could be as bad as I am,
because you wouldn’t dare!
I am the super greatest wicked beast!
Yeah!
Beast from the dark!
Beast from the dark!
Beast from the dark!
Beast from the dark!
Oeh, yeah!

Written by Ryan Maurice Roemer in 1990-1992. I was between 11 and 14 years old.
One of the first songs that I wrote in English language after learning English at school.
When I played my song ‘Wicked beast’ for my father, he got a little worried about me.
The lyrics scared him. Well, don’t be worried, dad (in heaven now). It’s just theater.

Today, darling, I feel hot.
Today, darling, I will make you interested in me.
Today, darling, I will show you a different side of me.
Today, darling.

So the love that I wouldn’t show you, will I show right now.

Every day a new year starts (lyrics)

Geef een reactie

Oeh… aha…
Every day a new year starts.
Every day a new year starts.
Global authorities don’t decide when a new year starts.
You don’t make that decision for me.
Only my heart decides when a new year starts… in my mind.
I don’t know much for I’m only a man.
But I do know…
I said I do know that every day a new year starts.
Every day a new year starts for the world, for you, for me.

(Reprise)

I said I do know that every day a new year starts.
Every day a new year starts for the world, for you, for me.
Every day the sun comes up.
Every day a child is born.
Every day is a new fantasy.
Every day I rise from the sea.

I don’t know who you are.
But love comes from where you are.
Finally I have been found.
You save me from the underground.

You always seem so close.
No matter where I go.
I can’t deny the truth.
You make me feel so good.

Your wings are very wide,
showing me the way to the light.
You lift me up so high.
I feel like I can fly.

You always seem so close.
No matter where I go.
I can’t deny the truth.
You make me feel so good.

You treat me like a king.
That’s why I like to sing.
I write my song for you.
Every word I say is true.
I only want you…
