HSL-Oost
HSL-Oost (Dutch: Hogesnelheidslijn-Oost, English: High-Speed Line East) is the name of the now-cancelled high-speed railway line from Amsterdam to Germany via the Dutch cities of Utrecht and Arnhem. The scope of the project has now been reduced to some improvements to the existing railway between Utrecht and the German border. The railway between Amsterdam and Utrecht has been doubled from two to four tracks with the outer tracks prepared for 200 km/h and the overhead wiring prepared for the necessary 25 kV required for high-speed trains, though without 25 kV power supply, high-speed is not attainable. Still, it is expected that German ICE trains will be able to travel at 200 km/h from Amsterdam to Utrecht in the near future.
In 2009, a new feasibility study for HSL-Oost after the year 2020 was promised by Minister of Transport, Public Works and Water Management Camiel Eurlings.

Solilocide
by: Lemur VoiceMy dungeon trembles
Who is there
Disbelieve
Why would you bother
You say you care
That's your truth
I swallow lies
So please don't care
Solilocide, Solilocide, Solilocide again
Solilocide, Solilocide, Solilocide again
Solilocide, Solilocide, Solilocide again
I'm in solitary
Scared and numb
So tired
I long for rest
An endless one
Nowhere to go
Nowhere to go from
Who's there to fight for
I can't be me
I'm stuck in the silence
I'm stuck in the silence
The madman cries
Soliloquize
An endless play
For me to hear
Paralyzed
For what I am
I'll survive
This Solilocide
Fear kept me aside
Still we're in the silence
But now I know
I know I'm not alone
Now I know
Hold me and help my tears
Help them to let go
So hold me and help my tears
Help me to let go
My dungeon opens
I see you're here
True believe
A warm caress
You say you care
It's our truth
That I embrace
So please do care
Solilocide, Solilocide, Solilocide no more
Solilocide, Solilocide, Solilocide no more
Solilocide, Solilocide, Solilocide no more
The madman cries
Soliloquize
An endless play
For me to hear
Paralyzed
For what I am
I'll survive
