Idol Tales 06:20
Idol Tales (lyrics by GJ Riedstra) She looks like an angel Floating in the sky But the air ain't warm, it's cold And she, she doesn't know why Waiting for rainbows to appear Guitars to get smashed We're still crying, we're all traumatized Wants to be his prayer She doesn't watch TV no more Her body and sense is worn Butterflies now all around The end within the dream She listens to their idol tales She looks like an angel Floating in the sky But the air ain't warm, it's cold And she doesn't know why She keeps her chin up, show respect But now she feels the same There's the rage for the exhaust too 'Cause as she's... get the gun! She listens to their idol tales She looks like an angel Floating in the sky But the air ain't warm, it's cold And she doesn't know why

Icicles 06:08
Icicles (lyrics by GJ Riedstra) Did you ever have that cold feeling Of woman's eyes reflecting your soul Icicles will never melt, aaaahhh Did you ever try to find the key to her heart When embraces fail to get you warm Now her eyes are closed yet yours are open Now everything will get to you, if only you could try Bad company is everything no rather on your mind No rest no more, aaaahhh And now, when it feels you’re on the wrong side of the track You’re so wrong you’re going down lying on the floor Lying on the floor no one will hear you scream And no one gives you hope when you call You will be the one to bleed

Sacrifice 05:01
Sacrifice (lyrics by GJ Riedstra) No one did expect it to be this way To get on the fact as she moves They knew someone loses that all when it ends, so on that day No, watch the sinner, keep your mind clear They knew that I’d lose it that all in a sigh Dare to move all the other sides Consuming are fashions, lives on in our fear There on the devil in your mind No, cries the sinner, keep your mind clear Now he lies on the barrier Approach as shark Present the joy of life It’s in your mind At that time now I hear a great vision appear There is an easy way out The will through all my behavior and now to all the images lies No, cries the sinner, keep your mind clear Now he lies on the barrier Approach as shark Present the joy of life It’s in your mind

The Wicked Will Conquer Lyrics by Annelieke Vleugel As the twilight takes its place, the nocturnal animals crawl on in Time vanishes into space, at night the dawn of men is slowly fading Fade or die! Die or fade! Once we became earthbound, as shepherds of being The world was symbiotic, although so primordial No, we have not found, peace and quiet since Evolving was so messy, but we stayed our ground! A lot had to give way for us to rule the chain Fauna we haunted, we stepped into their skin! Flora we reaped it, as we swallowed it whole! With force we took our kingdom, the ends justify the means Chorus ‘Cause we’re heading for that day, his judgement will be useless The devil is on its way And our lives full of torment, will end before we know it Only the wicked will conquer, and their shadows will remain (2x) Men felt an urge to defend, to erect four walls The one who dare to mount them, likely was to fall Instead of herding we hoarded, so many relics to the crave Is it in our nature, or does nurture take away the blame? Chorus Solo End Chorus ‘Cause we’re heading for that day, his judgement will be useless Only the wicked will conquer, and their shadows will remain The wicked will conquer!

Firesong 07:04
Firesong (lyrics by GJ Riedstra; edited by Henri Huisjes, Sebastiaan Garritsen & Henrike Harkink) Through the fear, locked within the outcoming A certain bow, a smile on a face Scary torture, prayers within the legion In those nights, wanted from your eyes Fire... and emotion. Fire... it’s an emotion. Fire... just an emotion War within is to destroy the gods In the damage, there rest knights Wanting your soul, free from inside Calling for you, nowhere to hide Damn the cell, I know he’s on all the other lines A family grace, refused like he said Do you know what? Glory now on all the other sides Heavy divine, gods in your ear Fire... and emotion. Fire... it’s an emotion. Fire... just an emotion War within is to destroy the gods In the damage, there rest knights Wanting your soul, free from inside Calling for you, nowhere to hide solo Damn the cell, I know he’s on all the other lines A family grace, refused like he said Do you know what? Glory now on all the other sides Heavy divine, gods in your ear bridge Damn the sad puns, laughs over envy lies Theory line, a smile on a face Fire... and emotion. Fire... it’s an emotion. Fire... just an emotion War within is to destroy the gods In the damage there rest knights Wanting your soul, free from inside Calling for you, nowhere to hide Damn the sad puns, laughs over envy lies Theory line, a smile on a face Scary torture, now you feel you’re alive Angry dog, sorted from your tribe

about

In the summer of 2014 I got the idea to perform and record 6 songs from my former band Synergy aka Eyestare.
The only recordings I had were from a radio-cassette recorder from the rehearsal room in the mid 90's, and I regretted that they were never properly recorded, because I think they are just very good songs, I would say timeless.

It wasn't until 2016 that I found a drummer in the person of Ric Brand and a little later Sebastiaan on bass guitar and Henrike Harkink on vocals joined in.
In December of that year we recorded the drums at Berthus Westerhuis his studio, well known in the Metal scene as Franky’s Recording Kitchen.

Early 2020 Annelieke Vleugel provided new vocal lines and lyrics for the song "The Wicked Will Conquer".

I could never have imagined beforehand that the result would be so beautiful, although I had hoped for it of course, so in fact you could say that a wish has come true.
I hope you will enjoy it too!

about

Project Eyestare Netherlands

Eyestare was founded in the early 90s, and likes to reminisce on the era of 70s Hard Rock, New Wave of British Heavy Metal and Progressive metal. Their music draws on legends such as Black Sabbath, Metallica and Rush. After many years of erratic regeneration, this four-piece rock band has managed to steer a steady course from the studio straight towards the stage. ... more
