The Puzzle
02:25

You said you had a friend,
I said, do you love him?
You said he is a part,
A part of life's puzzle.
I looked at my own,
Then I tried to see,
What she could mean to me,
She's a part of the puzzle.
Someway and somehow,
We are connected,
I can't neglect it,
I hope that the puzzle will fit forever,
Fill in the puzzle,
Try to make your own life clear,
All parts are equal,
I guess life is a jigsaw puzzle.

Sister O Sister

Sister o sister, what have you done,
You chose the wrong one, now he is gone.
Some years full of trouble, some years full of fears,
Some dark nights, some dark days, a long time of tears.
We danced in the discos, we talked all night long,
We laughed and we cried, we were still feeling young.
Later I met you only once in a year,
With a man at your side, who gave me some fears.
He ruined your life, he brought only trouble,
Why did you choose him, why did you do it?
We went on our way, lost you out of sight,
But always got that feeling that this wasn't right.
We called you my sister, the names on the book,
We shared the feelings, we shared the same look.
I loved you my sister, I always loved you,
Not as a friend, but as a brother to you.
I wish I can help you on the right way again, to love,
And to smile, with or without a man.

Memories

Memories never fade away,
For now and forever, they'll stay,
Broken dreams of love and passion,
Tears are in my eyes,
Never understood the lesson,
Even if I tried.
Moments of illusions, as lightnings through my head,
Things I'll always wonder, things I've never said,
Hope to clear up the sky, the rain and the clouds will disappear,
And the sun will take away.
Memories of love and passion,
Of broken dreams,
Lost in tears,
Wasted for no reason,
To understand, to let it be.

Desert Song

I've got to make it through the desert tonight,
Tonight is my last chance
I've got to make it through the desert tonight,
This is no place to end.
My car broke down three days ago, after I lost my way,
Got to get out of this desert now, or I won't live to see another day,
Got to get out of this desert now, or I there's gonna be some hell to pay.
Sunrise, beginning of dawn, I guess this is where I will end,
Never thought I would die this way, buried by desert sand.

Part I: The Words of God
I speak to you the words of god,
LISTEN!
I'll tell you what's right and wrong,
Don't you dare interrupt me!
LISTEN!
The beginning of time, was in my hands,
The earth, the water, the sky.
LISTEN! Don't cry, ha ha ha,
Do you think you can change your way?
Forget it!
LISTEN! To the Words of God.
Hear my thunder, see my lightning, clouds roll on,
I'll show you what I have done,
In every lake, you'll recognise my face,
In every river, you can see my power,
I AM EVERYWHERE!
So on your knees, you humble servant, and obey to me,
Obey my orders!
I'll tell you what to do, 'cause I know what's good for you,
I am your king, your president, your master,
Don't try to understand,
It is me who is in command!
It is me who is in command!
It is me who is in command!
IT IS ME WHO IS IN COMMAND!
Part II: Conviction
Are you the one, who they say you are,
Who can cure with a touch?
Are you the one, who they say you are,
You don't think I could believe such?
Well here you are, with all your plans sitting in your condemned cell,
Well here you are, your stupid fool, was this what you expected, well?
Are you the one, who could then raise fifty-thousand?
Now only some care about you.
You were talking of love and peace,
But now your own people despise you,
Now here you are, just a troublemaker, waiting for death to come,
Now here you are, just another inmate, waiting for justice to be done,
You were claiming you were the son of Good, but where is He now?
You also claimed you were born, don't you want to tell me how?
So now here you are, waiting for the things to come,
Speak, king of love and peace, who listened, only some.

Hailander Zaandam, Netherlands
1987 sees the birth of "Highlander Mad Metal", distinguishing themselves because of an electronic bagpipe with amps set at
11.
1995 to 1997 were transition years, as the Hard Rock band came to an end & steps were made towards Folk.
The same enthusiasm, passion & humor continued in Hailander.
Now we are working on merging both styles.
