          LYRICS ENERGIZE ME:
          Energize me with a simple touch or with an open heart
          Energize me, fire up this flame that’s burning between us

          It’s not a fantasy, another mystery
          It’s just what I can feel, it’ something I can see
          It’s like a memory, an inner melody
          It’s just what we all know, and we all hear

          I was blind, I was closed down
          Could not feel or set it free

          Energize me with a simple touch or with an open heart
          Energize me, fire up this flame that’s burning between us

          It lies in everyone this whirling energy
          It’s all around us too, electrifying you
          So dare to set it free, this virtue is the key
          To something we all know and we all use

          I can feel it’s inside me
          Open up enlighten me!

          Energize me with a simple touch or with an open heart
          Energize me, fire up this flame that’s burning between us
          Energize me with a simple smile, open up your mind
          Energize me, activate the light that’s given and taken

          Can you believe in the power that’s burning between us?
          Would you believe if you open up your mind, open up your heart

          Energize me with a simple touch or with an open heart
          Energize me, fire up this flame that’s burning between us
          Energize me with a simple smile, open up your mind
          Energize me, fire up this fire that’s burning forever

            Official Northward music video for While Love Died from 2019. Northward features Floor Jansen on vocals.

            LYRICS WHILE LOVE DIED:
            You love me, you hate me, would you please decide
            We’ve fed hatred through the things we didn’t say
            I guess honesty sometimes really breaks things up
            I love you, I hate you and can’t I decide what feels better when darkness has devoured light
            But I fail to believe this is also you
            When it’s black!
            When all you see and do is black
            This raging part of you breaks me down
            A blinded hate marked within your soul

            Black or white
            Love or fight
            Hate can taint our brightest memory
            Black or white
            Anguished pride

            What if all stayed the same
            Was that better?
            Black and white turned to grey
            Is that better?
            We hurt the ones we love the most
            What if we turned the tide
            Will it matter?
            What if we left out pride
            Would that better withered hope and mourn the love that’s turned black

            When you’re okay, you’re smiling and you’re doing fine
            You can charm and lure, make me remember why
            But that could be a facade to get what you need
            When you’re not fine, you’re raging, your face like a mask
            Eyes filled with fire seem to burn me down, as a dark opponent to your smiles
            And I’m scared!
            In fear and rage I turn away
            I’ve seen too much of this to know your games
            I’ve had too much
            I have to let you go
            Goodbye

            Black or white, while love died
            No in between or grey for you
            Black or white, all tears dried
            What face will you put up this time?

            What if all stayed the same
            Was that better?
            Black and white turned to grey
            Is that better?
            We hurt the ones we love the most
            What if we turned the tide
            Will it matter?
            What if we left out pride
            Would that better withered hope and mourn the love that’s turned black

            Black or white, while love died

            What if all stayed the same
            Was that better?
            Black and white turned to grey
            Is that better?
            We hurt the ones we love the most
            What if we turned the tide
            Will it matter?
            What if we left out pride
            Would that better withered hope and mourn the love that’s turned black

              Official After Forever music video for Digital Deceit from 2004. After Forever featured Floor Jansen on vocals.

              LYRICS DIGITAL DECEIT:
              Come enter, here’s my world
              Closed off from pain and cold
              Come enter, come inside
              A secret place of light
              ‘Cause in this world I’m rid of you, you can’t get through

              So here I am and I’m beautiful
              and all my friends would say the same
              So here I am; and you cannot deny that I am someone you’d embrace
              I am the queen; I’m pure and loved by everyone

              Come enter, here’s my code
              Through the world wide wire you’ll know me
              The queen of her own world
              My story; meet my life

              So now you see, there is another me
              Not someone insecure and strange
              My father’s will in here, it doesn’t mean a thing
              And I don’t fear his violent rage

              I am the queen; you know I’m loved by everyone

              Come enter, here’s my code
              Through the world wide wire you’ll know
              The queen of her own world

              Stop dreaming and wake up
              Your silly world is not what’s real
              This world of fake friends
              and computers – digital deceit

              This cyber wall (this cyber wall)
              is built to break out or hold
              The choice is yours (the choice is yours),
              will you dream or see what’s real?

              Oh…no, no more
              Just let me be alone with myself
              These conflicting thoughts increase my doubts

              I am the queen, I must be loved
              This so-called ‘wall’ is there to protect
              a life controlled by keys, closed off from pain and cold

              Digital deceit…
              digital, digital, digital…

                Official After Forever music video for Emphasis from 2002. After Forever featured Floor Jansen on vocals.

                LYRICS EMPHASIS:
                The game is over, time has taught life
                Open your eyes and embrace our so called paradise
                All the notions and thoughts,
                devise a way to make it yours
                The enigma of a reason

                How can life be what you want it to be
                Find the emphasis in your own reality

                Deviate from the search with episodic glimpses
                Of a spectrum no one can see or feel, nor declare

                Slowly become aware life knows its prophecies
                Find the emphasis in your own reality

                In all life you see
                A sudden shifting of events
                What’s coincidence, what’s faith?

                The ambiguity makes the sense of our destiny worth searching for
                What can it induce?

                If our being was omniscient?
                There’s so much you’ll never know, but

                Your life will be what you want it to be
                Find the emphasis in your own reality

                  Official After Forever music video for Discord from 2007. After Forever featured Floor Jansen on vocals.

                  LYRICS DISCORD:
                  You need to get out of my sight
                  A lonely heart can beat
                  You’re too dangerous
                  A lonely heart can bleed
                  I cannot stand it to be enclosed but isolated
                  A lonely heart can be enclosed but isolated
                  You’re too much
                  A lonely heart is weak
                  Too dependant
                  A broken heart will seek
                  You take the life out of me, no heart is broken forever
                  Its broken promises, but my faith is broken forever

                  Can’t you believe that this power we feel can be for real?
                  The smile that was given light now seems to freeze, but why?

                  A lonely heart will break
                  Pressure will make me forsake you
                  A lonely heart won’t forsake me
                  As if we’re both the same, wounded and beaten but still not defeated
                  A lonely heart can be wounded and beaten but still not defeated
                  ‘Cause I won’t let you in!
                  So if it’s all for real
                  Your weakness will be my strength
                  Your heart should be melting
                  You might be lonely but I am not beloved and bounded forever
                  Because we’re all the same, beloved and bounded forever

                  Can’t you believe that this power we feel can be for real?
                  The smile that was given light now seems to freeze, but why?
                  Won’t you believe?
                  Won’t you embrace it?
                  Can’t you believe
                  The power between us?

                  Oh discord, see them fail, oh!

                  Won’t you believe?
                  Won’t you embrace it?
                  Can’t you believe the power between us?
                  Can’t you believe that this power we feel can be for real?
                  The smile that was given light now seems to freeze, but why?

                    Official After Forever music video for My Choice from 2003. After Forever featured Floor Jansen on vocals.

                    LYRICS MY CHOICE:
                    Is it not the choosing that makes the life we live so intricate?
                    Are the options we have too endless to control?
                    Can we oversee the offers and their demands and their goals?
                    Can we oversee our own needs if we do not know
                    What it is we really want?

                    Our minds, instead of our hearts
                    What we feel confuses our thoughts

                    Security, an ancient quest
                    Standing alone, the ultimate test
                    Still we search for warmth in the materialized luxuries in life
                    The times have changed but we are still the same
                    Another choice ’cause we still don’t know

                    Let me see where I belong
                    Let me be a little part of it
                    Can I choose my way in life?
                    Can I dream, can I feel, could I know my choice?

                    A choice without the illusion that luck is for sale
                    ’cause I have all that money can buy

                    A choice means freedom
                    And endless options
                    Can we survey that?
                    Can freedom be controlled?
                    The option’s bitter
                    It leaves a part of you behind the borders of your choice

                    Let me see where I belong
                    Let me be a little part of it
                    Can I choose my way in life?
                    Can I dream, can I feel, could I know my choice?

                    Let me see where I belong
                    Let me be a little part of it
                    Can I choose my way in life?
                    Can I dream, can I feel, could I know my choice?
