LYRICS SWEET CURSE:
It's a burden for wrong reasons
But I keep hold of this pain
No more tears but common sorrow
Yet it wears off day by day
Letting go; I never could but I surely need to heal
Sweet curse, my hell

You bear our memories like staining scars within your mind
You lose all that you knew of me, gone deep inside
Lost love, my hell

Sweet is the curse of hearts entwined but lost
Detached but bound
Sad is their fate without relief
Cruel is the curse of love
So luscious yet so dangerous
Sweet curse, our hell

Words weren't meant to tell the story
For I can't describe the ache
No remorse for your betrayal
Yet though I find that hard to take
How can beauty change unseen into a monster, I don't know
Lost love is my hell

Sweet is the curse of hearts entwined but lost
Detached but bound
Sad is their fate without relief
Cruel is the curse of love
So luscious yet so dangerous
Sweet curse, our hell
Lost hope and lost dreams
Killing you (killing me) slowly
New scars and new cravings take control
New desire, this new despair

Losing you was more than I could bear
Losing us, a dive in water deep
Losing you

Sweet is the curse of hearts entwined but lost
Detached but bound
Sad is their fate without relief
Cruel is the curse of love
So luscious yet so dangerous
Sweet curse, our hell

Floor and Henk meeting each other probably is the greatest thing that happened thanks to Beste Zangers (and I'm taking about the entire history of the program, not only the 2019 edition). Two amazing singers with great chemistry and a true admiration for each other, influencing each other, pushing each other to new highs...

[Hexenkind]

A wonderful gift for me here, alone in the hospital. Makes me happy even in dark times. I thank you so much.

[rafaelpfutze]

I would never have imagined, that here in my house which is in the Amazon rainforest, Brazil, I would be listening to a Dutch opera singer. Thank you Floor Jansen for bringing me Henk's amazing voice

[revampfan]

It was one of my best decisions to crowdfund this project. This was an epic performance from Floor, Henk and the band. Sweet Curse is a gem and Revamp has so many more.

[mlaen]

I never understood why this song wasn't a bigger hit, the lyrics are so good. Happy to hear this new version, it's amazing and you always rock, whether it's with Russel or Henk (I was there for both Bibelot and AFAS).Hopefully now Sweet Curse will get the attention it deserves.

[keesjanschilt]

Henk's rock voice is so impressive, when you realize his training and career has been entirely opera/operette/musical!

[Robert_Herring]

This is fantastic. Henk's metal/rock voice is getting better all the time, what a career he has had. He and Floor's chemistry is palpable, I hope there is more to come.

[Rex_Stuph]

I love that this was included. ReVamp deserves more love from the peeps that it seems to get. There is a LOT more Floor pre Nightwish (than with) and people need to hear it.

[martine]

Zo bijzonder om Henk dit soort nummers te horen zingen. Jullie klinken geweldig samen. Het was een fantastische avond!

[lillianekockritz]

These two are a match made in heaven and I admire Henk Poort for trying something so new at his age (he was born in 1956). He normally is an opera and musical singer and it seems to me that he has so much fun with testing new fields of music.

[Marie-Therese]

How epic would it be for Henk to tour with Nightwish when it's possible again. Stay safe everyone ❤

[DeanKopri]

1st song that I have heard when introduced to Floor - "WTF!?!?!?" was my reaction. Wished one day she would join my favorite band Nighwish... Fast forward and here we are <3 Floor and Henk are both amazing here!!

[Wraithlen]

I think Henk working with Floor has expanded his abilities as much as the reverse. He's absorbing the rock/metal/opera mix/vibe amazingly well. So happy for both of those off the chart vocalists. Love them both!

[HellcatM]

Is it just me or would anyone else love Henk to join Nightwish or make his own rock album? He's great!

[JustJenRx]

This was absolutely breathtaking @FloorJansen. Wow. Thank you for posting these videos from your concert in Amsterdam. I wish I could have been there. Hopefully I’ll see you in May in NYC with NIGHTWISH!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[erwinmulder]

I can understand Floor isn't as angry as she used to be and wants to leave her ReVamp days behind, but gems like these deserve so much more.

[bartosz]

I remember Henk smiled and pointed at Natalie and me in the first row around this song🙈It was magnificent to be there live and it is great now to hear that perfect performance once again😁

[JustJenRx]

Dang you @FloorJansen and Henk Poort….why you guys gotta be so darn addictive???!

[raesilcox]

I always feel like the odd one out as I found Floor because of Henk rather than the other way round! But I am so glad I did, and am thrilled with their duets. So fantastic!

[no_onein]

Seriously one of my FAVORITES!!! Anyone think Floor and Henk should do a WHOLE Cd together???
