Wilsum (population as of 2001: 710) is a village in the Dutch province of Overijssel. It is located in the municipality of Kampen, about 4 km southeast of that city.
Wilsum received city rights in 1331. It is most known for its church, which was built in 1050 and as such the oldest church in the province Overijssel. Thanks to several restorations (the last one being in 1982) the church is still in a very good state.
Wilsum was a separate municipality until 1937, when it became a part of IJsselmuiden.

My mind seems buried
Murdered by your wish
While wandering the path of sadness
All rapture becomes mourning
You seemed so fragile to me
The opposite was real
Unexpected malice
Beautiful oasis turns to desert
Where the clouds gather with the sun
There I stood
Now the tempest is present
And I, I drown in sadness
In my winds of dream
The night of the thousand suns awakes
every sun, every ray, darker than black
Thousands ideas of you Thousands uncried tears
Chained words
uncried tears leaving my eyes
endlessly deep ravines of sorrow
conquering my soul
Delivering screams in the darkness
sounding out of the misty paradise
far away the mystical unkown
deafening release
I please my heart
not to be my guide
strength is an art
but you are my bait
Inner uproar
Thunder like growl
leaving the hiding place
unable to conceal anymore
