Nomiza
"Nomiza" (Greek script: Νόμιζα, English translation: "I Believed") was the Cypriot entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2000, performed in Greek and Italian ("Rosso vivo" - the first time that the country had not sung entirely in Greek) by the duo Voice, made up of Christina Argyri and Alexandros Panayi. Panayi had previously represented Cyprus at the 1995 Contest with "Sti Fotia".
"Nomiza" was performed eleventh on the night, following Belgium's Nathalie Sorce with "Envie de vivre" and preceding Iceland's August & Telma with "Tell Me!". At the close of voting, it had received 8 points, placing 21st in a field of 24.
The song is a love duet, with the singers declaring that they believed they each would find a way to unite, despite the problems they faced.
Due to poor results, Cyprus was not permitted to take part in the 2001 contest, however they were re-admitted for the following year. Thus, the song was succeeded as Cypriot representative at the 2002 contest by One with "Gimme".

Afterlife
by: NemeseaDon't shut your eyes to me
I want to make you see
Our destiny, how it's supposed to be
And let the darkness fade
Find comfort in my shade
'Cos you're not alone, no you're not alone
Can we see, can we feel when we're in the afterlife
Do you know, how I know to believe in you
Because I do
Can we hope, can we love, can it be our destiny
'Cos I'm listening
Yes I'm listening
To you
Now don't you close your eyes
Stop telling me your lies
Don't live in fear, 'cos I won't disappear no
I hope you understand
I'll lend a helping hand
So come to me, 'cos I will set you free
Break the silence
Fill this emptiness
And hope for better days
Can we see, can we feel when we're in the afterlife
Do you know, how I know to believe in you
Because I do
Can we hope, can we love, can it be our destiny
'Cos I am listening
Yes I am listening
To you
Don't break me now
Don't tell me that it ends
Let us find another way to make amends
Don't hate me now
Don't turn the other way
