Our song for Freedom, starting in Dutch and ending in English.

Ik zie geen gezichten meer, ik mis je glimlach,
Allemaal verborgen, verscholen achter lapjes materiaal
Jij die altijd zoveel straalde
Je bent klein gemaakt, onzeker, niet vocaal

Al die tijd heb jij je, zo laten leiden
Elk gesproken woord was voor jou simpel en zo waar
Gevoed met angst en al die propaganda
Alles wat ik zeg, vind jij maar raar

Toe laat die angst gaan 
Toe laat me naast je staan
Ik sla m’n armen om je heen en houd je vast, vannacht

Het huis telkens maar zo leeg, geen vrienden
Afstand houden van elkaar in t nieuwe normaal
Eenzaam lopend in de lege straten 
De angst in jou, het onderdrukte kabaal

Jij denkt niet, is het al tijd, zal ik eens opstaan, 
Wat is vrijheid, en wat maakt mij nu blij
Die regels opgelegd in onderdrukking
Sta nu op, maak je nu toch eens vrij

Toe laat die angst gaan 
Toe laat me naast je staan
Ik sla m’n armen om je heen en houd je vast, vannacht

Hey you, take control now
It’s been enough we don’t bow
Hey you, take back your life
They all played us, but we will survive

Hey you, we are stronger
Together we fight, we don’t go under
Hey you, feel the spirit
Fight for freedom, we will win it

Hey You

Siren's Sky / Along The Beachline

You're under my skin
Deep in my heart
Where blood
Flows your blood 

No one can stop this
Not even you
If you only,  only
Only knew

Your words they hurt
Time and time again
But in my heart
I will find you again

I can’t escape
Even in my dreams
Hear your voice
And I see your face 

You’re forever to stay
Deep in my heart
Where blood
Flows your blood 

If it's not what you wanted
Or  had in mind  
 If I only only 
 Only knew

Your heart seems closed
Broken on the way
Longing for love
I see and feel your pain 

I can’t escape
Even in my dreams
Hear your voice
And I see your face 

You're under my skin
Deep in my heart
Where blood
Flows your blood 

No one can stop this
Not even you
If you only only
Only knew

If you only only
Only knew

If you only only
Only knew

Under My Skin

Siren's Sky / Forever Feat. Lydia Salnikova

A song about the death of a dear person as a result of Alzheimer's dsease.

Lyrics

Just how you’re laying here
In this empty room
Your body feather light
In a bed that’s not your own

The odors in the room
The whisper of your breathing
Nearing the end
On your way to the unknown

Just let it go
Let it go and fly away
Just let it go
Every ending has it’s price

Just let it go
It will all turn out just right
Just let it go
In the tunnel there is light

Your eyes are unopened
No place for a tear
Feeling the stillness
The moment is near

Now please stop the fighting
Exhausted as you are
You fought the whole battle
It’s time to shed off the scars

And you appear all and all alone
And your body is only skin and bone

Just let it go
Let it go and fly away
Just let it go
Every ending has it’s price

Just let it go
It will all turn out right
Just let it go
In the tunnel there is light

Siren's Sky / Let Go Feat. Lydia Salnikova

Blinded

You 
Got a bad taste
Don’t you

You 
Are a waste
So true

You
Are the thinker
For yourself

You
And your tunnel vision
You
Making money religion
You
Who’s got only lies to sell

Why can’t you see that there’s more in life to live
Why do you only take and never give
Why are you never standing still

You 
Create waves
Everywhere
Kill 
And despise
You don’t care
Conscience 
Something not within your realm

You 
Just collide
With everyone
You
Only rob
Take out the fun
You
Never taught to love and care

How can you live with your tunnel vision
Money and hate the new religion
You think you are big
But your soul is o so small
You have your mind set not to see
You are part of a big family
Criminals terrorist 
Politicians choking me
You are the universal criminal
Corporate wall street name it all
Power money and fools
Discarding all the rules

Why can’t you see that there’s more in life to live
Why do you only take and never give
Why are you never standing still

Release Feat. Lydia Salnikova

Here and Now _Lyrics

Staring at the stars in the night
And the day is done
They are so far, so out of sight
Still I want to
Look on

There is a light that always shines
Outside and inside of me
Inner bliss inner light
Kind of lets me be

Death´s our day and life´s our night
Betrayed by sight
And all the light
Night is where I want to be
Darkness shows the ray in me

In the end it will all dissolve
And we´ll melt into one
For the riddle must be resolved
Before we walk in the sun

Plenty of night plenty of day
And it all resides in us
I dug a hole to heart of matter
To find out I was lost

I don´t know
What´s coming to us
Things needs to be found
Before they are lost
Just show me the good in me
Before you throw away the key

The key is here the key is now
The story’s written in our hearts
I need the darkness to find back the light
I need the night to see the stars
It´s all in here and now etc

This song is a re-make of a version I did about 10 years earlier, with about zero knowledge and patience of proper recording and mixing. Definitely a lot better now :-).


Here And Now

Here and Now Feat. Mella Barnes

This actually is a song I wrote and performed for special event in The Netherlands. The purpose was to raise money for cancer patients to enable them to have their own music recorded. Many of my friends and family attended and I was honored to be on the same stage as some of the most renown Dutch guitar players such as Harry Sacksioni, Erik Vaarzon-Morel, Ruben Hoeke, Leif de Leeuw, Ron Baggerman, Wim den Herder and Lars de Rijck. Ironically I was the only person to be both an artist as well as a cancer patient. Anyway, I am still alive and kicking. It was a great evening. Credits to all of the artists involved and especially to Dennis van den Heuvel and Jan Anton van der Graaf for organizing the event.

Thanks for listening!

No More Running

Once a sinner once a traveler
Once a saint
It’s all down in me
Looking up which way to focus
Finding out
A way to be

I looked at love I looked at pain
Roads turning going over the top
Washed away I let it rain
And this heartbeat
Never came to a stop

And I would do it all again
And I would do it all again

And when the running ends
Standing there finding nothing’s lost
No more thoughts to spend
Just listen to the stillness in us
And I would take you with me
And hand you the key

Born and raised in many places
Sleeping conscious
Awakes from the dream
Let it loosen let it loosen
The outer crust
Lost in the stream

Let the lights turn on
And see through it all
Leaving nothing as it seemed
But beware of the fall

And I will do it all again
And I will do it all again

And when the running ends
Standing there finding nothing’s lost
No more thoughts to spend
Just listen to the stillness in us
And I will take you with me
And hand you the key

Lyrics, song and recording by Herbert Kaptein

No More Running

No More Running Feat. Lydia Salnikova

Soulmates

Before I even met you
You always were there
Hidden by the veils
Of time

Going through the motions
Sometimes running scared
Waiting for you to enter
Our life

We are soul mates
Without end date
We’re intended to go
All the way

You understand me
Without words you see
It is bliss
That gets us through the day

And now that I know you
How could I ever not
Don’t know how I lived
Without you

Through you I became confident
To do things my way
On a journey together
We’re here to stay

We are soul mates
Without end date
We’re intended to go
All the way

You understand me
Without words you see
It is bliss
That gets us through the day

You're in my heart
My soul
My soulmate

Soulmates Ft. Lydia Salnikova

Hi, welcome to my Siren's Sky page, my musical baby where I collaborate with various female vocalists.  My name is Herbert and I am a guitarist/songwriter/producer from The Netherlands. 

Before starting my studio project Siren's Sky I was the guitarist and songwriter of the Rotterdam based New Wave/postpunk bands "Eyes Are Blind" and "The Undertow". 

As of 2015  I started recording my music in my own studio. All my work is audible on Spotify and on almost all other digital media platforms. Just do a search on Siren's Sky and enjoy.
