The Gentle Storm

THE GENTLE STORM is a collaboration between AYREON's mastermind Arjen Lucassen and the famous Anneke Van Giersbergen.
"The Diary" is in essence a concept album that describes communication between lovers. "The Moment" could be the most emotional and aching song in the album where van Geirsbergen's voice is perfectly conveying anguish and heartbreak. Musically, The Diary shows off the strength of Arjen’s compositions and melodies.

THE GENTLE STORM - The Moment

My love my blessed soul
I'm whispering your name
from this moment on
we'll not be the same

I dread to speak these words
if forever they'll be heard
they'll ache and cause you pain

I live a silent dream
my hope has turned to dust
with you is where my heart
yearns to be

once more to see the dawn
and embrace the rising sun
but now the moment's gone

and now the moment's gone
and now the moment's gone
and now the moment's gone
and now the moment's gone

my love my shining star
I'm pleading with the moon
the only one who knows
where you are

an evil cold and grey
makes my body fade away
my faith has gone astray

I write without a sound
my words will never dry
they're melting in my tears falling down

I'd wish you'd stand ashore
be with me forevermore
but now the moment's gone

and now the moment's gone (x4)
