✧ LYRICS ✧
𝘈𝘍𝘛𝘌𝘙 𝘛𝘏𝘌 𝘚𝘛𝘖𝘙𝘔
The lights went down, the curtain fell, a lingering, heartfelt cheer died away.
The harmony, if it was real, then why am I dismayed?
At eventide, in vain I whiled, should we not stand and fight together?
How I regret, my bannerets left me bereft and shamed.
Flow down, bleak rivulet, and carry me ashore.
Fuel my heart, mend my bones for I can't bear no more.
After the storm, after the battle, the bitter rain pours.
Battered and broken I'll leave no words unspoken.
Bravery fell into the deepening night where I dwelled.
Demonized, terrorized, scorned but eyes wide open.
Oh dream that I adored, oh memories galore.
Awaken me once more, the tyrant will not be dethroned.
And so you wilt, while he will not atone.
He'll forsake our world: the cretin sways his sword.
Commands the sky, 'till feathers fly and burn forevermore, forevermore.
After the storm, after the battle, the bitter rain pours.
Battered and broken I'll leave no words unspoken.
Bravery fell, into the deepening night where I dwelled.
Demonized, terrorized, scorned but eyes wide open.
A plague on your kingdom, a plague on your chest.
Render me lost, all that I'll have I'll forgo but not my quest.
Dishonoured, abandoned, a lone soul, lost and awash with tears.
Without arms nor armour, a meagre shadow, laden with fear.
To you, my love, I bid farewell and bestow the flame.
Hold it high, bright it shines when I reclaim my song.
After the storm, after the battle, the bitter rain pours.
Battered and broken I'll leave no words unspoken.
Bravery fell, into the deepening night where I dwelled.
Demonized, terrorized, scorned but eyes wide open.

Dianne has one of the few truly dramatic operatic soprano voices in symphonic metal. I love her rich and full timbre. It's like hearing Puccini in metal, and it makes me wonder what genre Puccini would be writing for if he were still alive today.
Thank you so very much, especially for the Puccini referrence. I always say his music is 'honey for the ears', there's nothing like it 🙏❤️
😮Wow! The one and only TCV giving a comment 😁👍 But, this song deserves it for sure! And maybe... a future analysis 😊❤ ???
he would probably keep throwing it in the bin after hearing how good this song is
So you're going to cover this song in a video? I'd love to see that!
TheCharismaticVoice and Dianne 😀. For when the video reaction?
I remember meeting Dianne after the concert with Xandria in Prague back in 2014. I was surprised by how down to the earth she is: she talked with fans, took photos, and really made everyone who approached her feel appreciated. So glad she's back. It's time for the fans to show how much we appreciate her too.
I met her post-show at the merch booth 2017 when Xandria and Delain were opening for Sonata Arctica! She took a photo with my friend and I - it was my icon for a couple years!! Really hope I get the chance to see her live some day, and hopefully sign some merch!
Such sweet and kind words, thank you both so much! And hey, without you there would be no reason to create my music, so yes: I will always be there to say hi!
I also saw her back in 2014! One of my first concerts and the first singer I ever met live. Such a lovely experience. What I remember the most was thinking about how tall she is (but that might be because I am super short lol). It was such a pleasant first experience with meeting singers. She was so sweet!
@@DiannevanGiersbergen This is not my case, in 2016 I paid for the meet and greet in Colombia to be able to meet her, she was my favorite singer up to that moment, I asked her for a selfie to which she replied "no, I don't know you" and she left. I didn't get to enjoy the rest of the concert, and even though I'm a fan and love their music, it still hurts to remember that moment.
Hi @@TheMaoarango, it saddens me to read your message. I do remember the meet and greet in Colombia and as far as I know we (the band and I) left no one out. I'm sorry to hear that this has happened to you though! Maybe it was an organisational error (there was always crew managing this M&G for us)? I would however never say "no, I dont know you" and then not take a picture with you, thats simply not who I am. So maybe something was lost in translation/organisation, but you clearly feel sad too. I am sorry to hear that dear. I hope that there will be a next time in Colombia on which I can change your mind about me 😘
I'm glad there's still someone that keeps the opera stuff in the genre alive now that almost everyone is abandoning it.
Could not agree more!! Well you can rest asured, this is my thing and always will be!
you said what I wanted to say. also thank you DIanne for not going trendy !
Opera must never die! And I thank our lovely Dianne for continuing to show how wonderful it is 🤘
Symphonic metal with that opera feel
@@Nightykk Yes that is what happened to Nightwish when Tarja left. I think Dianne and Tarja are the two remaining. Nightwish with Tarja had the best overall compositions.
This is just like old Nightwish... and I LOVE it!! ❤
Killer Nightwish Vibes giving me chills....keep it up 🤘🏻💙
What a pleasure it was to make this video for this stunner of a lady and epic song! Happy release day, dear Dianne!
Great work together ❤
Recorded in Luxemburg??
Yes @@jeroenbecker7485! At Mullerthal near Echternach!
@@DiannevanGiersbergen i hiked there last summer. Did not see a princess in a blue dress.😜💙
I love this song, Dianne is epic and brilliant! ❤️
Very strong oldschool nightwish/epica vibes. I love it! And Dianne looks beautiful in blue.
Yepp, I missed this since Tarja was kicked out from Nightwish (I love Floor too). Utterly loved the Xandria album with Diane, but frankly her voice sells the music 600 other fairly known bands can play. I hope she has now the (marketing..) power just get a bunch of nice guys around her instead of joining an established band and keep making songs like this. I'm in.
Now I just want a Kamelot or Arch Enemy collab and she ticks all the boxes for me. 😈🤘❤ (wow, I still hate emojis...) :)
She's as powerful as Tarja or Simone. The star of immense power and force, glowing in blue and scorching in raging UVA/UVB, that's the right definition of a sympho diva. Sitara devi सितारा देवी
Exactly, finally again a proper unsweetened symphonic metal. 🤘
Tarja's era was the golden age of Nightwish.
@@AndersMidnattSimone powerful? Ok... Good bait.
People who read this comment please think about it! You 50% didn't 👍 this ,but is not so difficult ,and Dianne it's nice! But she's such a smart people besides singing great,she's a sympathetic person.She reads and like all the comments, although she doesn't hate to.She even answers many peoples .So give her a like , it's easy for you ,and it's nice for Dianne!
holy fook, this is EPIC! welcome back, queen of the symphonic metal! ;)
Aaaaw that's so sweet, you're making my smile even brighter!
As far as I'm concerned, Dianne is the Queen of Symphonic Metal!!! Glad to have Dianne Back...
Aw thats so very sweet of ypu, thanks!
There is something in the water in the Netherlands, so many beautiful female voices, it is unbelievable 😍
Nada disso, tem Deus que deu o dom para as pessoas desse pais
nobody brings pure theater and drama like Dianne!
From Russia with love! It's a great song, I'm looking forward to a full-length album.
Hello from Kyrgyzstan, Central Asian, Bishkek and Osh. Very good song! I love symphony metal.
К сожалению я плохо знаю ангдийский. Можно я скажу на русском?) Совершенно случайно нашел вашу песню и мне понравилось))
Я так понял, что вы из Нидерландов? Заметил, что у Нидерландов очень сильная школа рок музыки! Жаль, что у нас в Кыргызстане мало таких песен слушают.
Thank you @@novacom7604 ! There are indeed a lot of great acts from the Netherlands :)
"Mommy Legs" is BACK!!!
You and Tarja are the ones that make me love symphonic metal. Epic 🤘🔥 song, welcome back Dianne
Aw, that's such a compliment. Thank you 🥰
Dianne you are a True Warrior Princess. Going solo is not easy and yet u embark yourself ALONE and under your OWN NAME. That is not for cowards. That is for brave people like you.
Most soloists go wrongly in different directions than the work they have been known for but here you show us you are still reigning the Epic Symphonic Metal world like no other. This genre is dying but you keep it living. Thanks for that.
Keep on fighting for your career we are here for you.
Wow, thank you for those heartfelt words! 🙏
Welcome back, Dianne!!!! We missed you a lot! This first solo song is everything we needed, congratulations!!! And come to Brazil!
I would love to come to Brasil! Lets see what the future holds 😊
@@DiannevanGiersbergen Congratulations for this epic song!!! WELCOME back dear Dianne... I'm one of those guys who have heard this kind of music for years.. and next month I'm starting my classical singing studies.. Finally, after trying to be someone else.. But now I found myself into this music.. and into this song 😍... Let's get back to South America.. It will be a pleasure to meet you and talk about music 😊.. My best wishes for you..
Oooh that's wonderful!! Congratulations to you @@lanuevaemily and the best with your studies!!
The best! The Very best In Opera Goth Metal You are Astounding ❤🎉❤🎉
Thank you so very much Ariel! I'm happy to hear that you like my music!
Dianne is back with a bloody amazing banger of a tune
Thank you 🥰
Fantastic to see you doing this kind of music again after what Xandria did to you I was really hoping your health would recover and we would get to hear you like this again .... fantastic!!!!
можете, пожалуйста, объяснить, что xandria сделала с дианой? (я недавно в фэндоме, извините)
Great song. Thanks for making the world a better place.
You have the most beautiful operatic voices I've ever heard. A big thumbs up to whoever invented symphonic metal.
Nightwish invented symphonic metal.

Congrats on the release of your first solo single, Dianne! Such an epic song! As always, your vocals are outstanding. And I love your gorgeous gothic dress 🖤
Right!? The dress designer is a pure genius!
Dear Dianne, you have truly answered your "Call of Destiny". The future is bright! This song and video are amazing. ❤️
Awesome!!!!!!
The last Ex Libris release, and now this. Dianne, you breathe so much life into this genre. Very much looking forward to the rest of the album!
Thats so sweet of you to say, thank you 🙏
I've always loved how you dramatize a song with your face, your eyes, your arms...your whole body becomes part of the song's expression, it makes watching you perform live a fantastic experience, and this video showcases this perfectly!
Hey thanks, thats such a nice compliment ❤️
@@DiannevanGiersbergen Thank you for being a true artist, a true artist will always have an audience, I can't wait to get this album!
Incredible single Dianne ! Time to form a touring band and do some shows and share your awesomeness with the world again !
A true medieval Queen... Miss Giersbergen is finally back, with a new history for us! 😍
Only this will be about my history then ;). For the next Ex Libris however we will def be teaching you about an interesting figure from history again!
@@DiannevanGiersbergen Yes, Miss... I can't wait for more new things from you! 😘
@@DiannevanGiersbergen i love you Dianne 💋❤️ You my dream ❤️💋
She is beyond words!
@@michaelwilleford8367 Exactly... Miss Dianne is really a artist from another world, can't be from this planet! 🥰
Great singer, gret performer, gorgeous woman! 👏👏
Liking Dianne's solo project more and more each time I listen to this!
Dear Diane! The metal world owes you a lot. You are so much more than an industry could want. You are a phenomenon. Gratitude for being who you are. Thank you for your talent, the world needs you.
And thank you for being here to support me 🙏
Awww ♡♡♡
@@bubu8909 FOR REAL?
C'mon, of course baby.
Our queen 👑
What a beautiful song!
So much power in your voice!!
Awesome !!!! YEAHHHH!!
This just gets better with each listen 🤘🤘🤘🤘
February the 14th and you have already made the best song of 2023! What an epic masterpiece! Love it!
The Queen is back💃
.....I'm gonna say this now. The two albums she did with her last band were stunning from what I've heard. But this? Dianne you were born to be a heavy metal solo goddess. WOOOOW
Aaaaaaw thank you ever so much ❤️❤️❤️🙏
Great song!!!!!!
Beautiful Dianne! This is symphonic metal at it's best! 💞
La conocí por Xandria y me alegra que su carrera solista empieza a despegar, muchos éxitos Diane, eres divina 😁😁😁
Great voice, song, and dress, ty!
Great piece of symphonic metal! Dianne, you are amazing. I'm so happy you are still singing for us!
Fantastische song. Sluit geweldig aan bij het Xandria werk. Kijk uit naar een heel album. In Dianne we trust!!
Your voice is stunning Dianne! Truly a voice of a lifetime ❤❤
Aw thank you so very much 🥰
I couldn't agree more 🙂
I missed your beautiful voice. Welcome back Dianne! I can't wait for the full album ♥
Dianne van Giersbergen has an amazing voice! One of my favorite symphonic metal singers!
Oh my god, I'm gonna play this a million times!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
Absolutely epic 👌👌
Am glad to hear something new from you, after we all know who -- I've missed it!
World needs more excellent symphonic metal, with the opera feel.
Brilliant to have Dianne back! A great track and I can't wait to see her live
Amazing song and your voice is even more melodic and majestic. Congratulations Dianne and wish you all the great success!
Oh yes, my voice really developed over the years and has grown darker, which I love too!
I can’t stop listening to this song. It plays in my head all day. Especially the chorus. Instant classic!
Thank you so very much! Makes me happy to hear that! 🤗
She is increíble
Oh, how much I missed your marvelous voice in a new song. I'm so happy that you're moving ahead, after all that happened to you in Xandria. And this song is quite a headbanger so, good for you and my very best wishes for you!
Simply stunning. Thank You so much for Your music, Dianne!
The sun is rising here in Mexico, so I woke up to find this beautiful surprise.
I have to say, I needed to replay it a couple of times before knowing how to summarize how I feel, and how I feel is proud, I'm so proud of you Dianne.
Time after time you've proven to be a top class singer, composer and creative. A sign of Dianne's approval means quality, it means passion and it also means freedom.
It's a great way to start a solo career, usually the first solo single are kind of awkward for the separation from previous achievements, but this is very familiar and welcoming.
Never stop creating Dianne, you have so much to give.
Aaaaw thank you for such a sweet message Alejandro! You gave me goosebump when reading it. Thank you for supporting me like you do!
OMG I MISS DIANNE SO MUCH , SHE IS MAKING A COMEBACK ❤❤❤
One of the best symphonic metal songs in recent years. What a pleasant surprise 😄
🤘
Simply WOW! I needed this woman back in my life.
Well here I am hahaha! Happy to be back ;)
What a way to build hype for an album! Dianne's voice just SOARS here, with effortless delivery and angelic power and glory! Visually the video holds true to its fantasy theme very well. The armor, the costuming, the locations, everything is just so well presented and produced. The only thing I would say is missing from her ensemble here would be a sword and shield, maybe a spear. But, that a minor quibble. The song itself is a tour de force of symphonic metal majesty that takes no prisoners and hold NOTHING back! If this first track is ANY indication of what to expect when the full album is released, we're in for a SERIOUS album of the year contender here folks..... I'm calling it NOW!!!!
So our queen of metal opera from Holland, her star keeps on rising!!!!!!! This song , marvellous, I listen everyday to it, it gives me goosebumps and Dianne's sublime voice gives me years. She reaches me in the heart. And this month September , yeah, I cannot wait, the second song will come. She and her bandmembers are Genious. Thank you for the person who you are miss DIANNE. And people reading this.....please listen and support this song and the upcoming second song. And her website is also genious: you can get signed photos and marvellous selfmade jewelry......
Aw bless you Martin for speaking so highly of me 🥰
@@DiannevanGiersbergen ofcourse, thanx for your kind reaction. If anyone deserves it on earth........
Strong song Dianne. The storm of the Law.
Our dear Dianne is back!I'm so glad to see you with this beautiful song!Your outfit is brilliant too)
GOOD TO HAVE HER BACK! Awesome to hear from her still have that talented voice.
Wow.. Fantastic video 🎶🎤👏👏👏👏(fantastic Diane and fantastic outfit 💙💙💙
Absolutely amazing... can't believe the YT algorithm took 2 months to put this on my feed. Anything you do should be front and center immediately.
Aw thank you so very much dear! Happy to hear that my song found you in 'the end'. Stay tuned for more!
So glad Dianne is putting out new music. As everything she does, this song is fantastic. Can't really wait for more 🤟.
Much love, Dianne.
Aw thank you so much 🥰
Silence poor mortals ! The Queen of heart is reborn ! 👑 What a comeback, you’re stronger than ever ! Damn this is epic, it sounds amazing, the video looks beautiful and your outfit is on point, I love this blue dress 💙
I’m so happy for you Dianne, welcome back in symphonic metal 🤘🏻💙
Wow 💣💗😍 This is awesome . Dutch symphonic metal singers are the best in the world . 🥰🤘🤘🤘
At last! My favorite female vocalist comes back! You are a miracle, Dianne! Waiting for full album!🥰😍🤩
I really love about Dianne that she can show multiple emotions at once and how expressive are her eyes
Hey thank you! What is music without emotions right? It's the thing that drives us to create art!
First time I heard Dianne's voice was about 5 years ago while listening to Voyage of the Fallen. I was so blown away with her astonishing voice and the way she sings and made me every word of the song and how she transmit the feelings through her singing. And now, 5 years later, still gave me the same amazing feelings that I had when I first heard her! No words can describe the charm of this brilliant lady! This is absolutely awesome! Hope to see and hear more of your masterpieces in future❤️ Love from Syria ✌️
MS DIANNE BRINGING THAT GOOD OLD FANTASY AGAIN TO METAL, WE STAN!
This song is a real joy to listen to, Diane's. voice is truly amazing.. I look forward to the rest of the album.
This is the best symphonic metal I've heard all year...potentially the past few years. Your previous records pushed me to pursue a degree in vocal performance 10 years ago, and I am still singing today both classically and otherwise. Thank you for carrying the banner for the genre that I deeply love!
Oh honey, I am honored! Thank you so much for sharing that with me! ♥️ Do you have video's online that I can watch?
@@DiannevanGiersbergen Not many videos - I graduated in 2020 during the pandemic and spent most of my time studying opera repertoire. From 2021 till now I have grinded away on production and released a cover on this UA-cam Channel. But I have a few private, more symphonic/power metal recordings linked in the description of that video now. I've removed links as I'd hate to drive traffic away from your awesome video/song and hard work!
I was 16 years old when I auditioned and got into a YAP in Europe with the help of my voice teacher who was prepping me for college. My voice wasn't mature enough to sing full roles, but I was able to attend masterclasses and study art song in Novafeltria Italy. While there I traveled out to Masters of Rock as one of the friends I had met there told me about mysterious "Symphonic Metal" - luring me in with promises of Opera's huge vocals but with guitars. I was mesmerized, and we hoofed it all the way to Wacken after our rehearsals wrapped. There, I heard you perform Nightfall which tore open the gates. I couldn't have imagined anyone with an operatic voice like mine could actually be on stage as a rockstar and escape the tight corsets, lack of movement in scene blocking and frequently poor acting of the opera world. I probably would've quit if it hadn't been for introduction to this kind of music, but pressed on through a vocal education to hone my craft so I could sing along and eventually write music of my own.
I tried to sing rock and other genres at that time, but my deep, dramatic soprano voice just didn't fit and I didn't have the technical aptitude to cross over at the time (And still am learning 10 years on!). So when I heard you, it gave me hope I could have the best of both worlds. And now you do it again and I feel 10 years younger again .Thanks for sharing this awesome work with the world :)
@@DiannevanGiersbergen She has one on her channel
im not crying but i am headbanging to this masterpiece 🤟🤟
Now that's what I like to hear!
Great song, Dianne 🥰🤘
I look pretty forward to your upcoming album.
After hardest days this song bring me so much happiness. Congratulations dear Dianne can't wait for the album released
This is the first time I have ever heard your voice and I love it! This song was in my UA-cam feed and it intrigued me. You have such a powerful voice!
Hey thank you Mary! I hope that you'll keep on spinning it 😊
A powerful return from one of the best voices I’ve ever heard. Glad you’re back, welcome beautiful Dianne😭💜
QUEEN of Metal voice
Really glad to see her back doing music.
It's nice to have Dianne back doing what she does best. Those who know her from her previous bands know what she can do and how versatile she is. I realize it takes a big investment in time and resources to put something out, but it looks like this single is getting quite a bit of traction, with over 75k views in a few days! I look forward to hearing more from her soon.
Melhor vocalista ao lado de Simone Simons. Dianne é perfeita na execução vocal e teatral. Eu realmente senti falta quando ela saiu do Xandria, ansioso por músicas assim ♥️♥️
OMG THAT VOICE!!!!! SO POWERFUL
Fantastic video and song...very deep performance 🙂
Господь услышал наши молитвы! Дианна возвращается!
All heil to our glorius queen of symphonic and power metal🤘
