It Seemed the Better Way [Dutch translation]
't Leek eerst zo'n goed verhaal
Toen ik hem hoorde doceren
Maar nu is het veel te laat
Om de andere wang toe te keren
Het klonk als de waarheid
Het leek het beste zo
Het klonk als de waarheid
Maar vandaag rest alleen de echo
Ik weet niet wat het was
Ik weet niet wat het bood
Eerst sprak hij over liefde
Maar toen sprak hij over dood
Het klonk als de waarheid
Het leek het beste zo
Het klonk als de waarheid
Maar vandaag rest slechts de echo
Ik kan beter zwijgen
Ik kan beter plaats nemen
dit glas met bloed heffen
proberen dank te zeggen
't Leek eerst zo'n goed verhaal
Toen ik hem hoorde doceren
Maar nu is het veel te laat

Het klonk als de waarheid
Het leek het beste zo
Het klonk als de waarheid
Maar vandaag rest de echo
Ik kan beter zwijgen
Ik kan beter plaats nemen
dit glas met bloed heffen
proberen dank te zeggen
