Within Temptation Album

[No lyrics]

Is it true what they say,
are we too blind to find a way?
Fear of the unknown clouds our
hearts today.
Come into my world,
see through my eyes.
Try to understand,
don't want to lose what we have.

We've been dreaming
but who can't deny,
it's the best way of living
between the truth and the lies.

Chorus:
See who I am,
break through the surface.
Reach for my hand,
And show them that we can
free our minds and find a way.
The world is in our hands,
this is not the end

Fear is withering the soul
at the point of no return.
We must be the change
we wish to see.
I'll come into your world,
see through your eyes.
I'll try to understand,
before we lose what we have.

We just can't stop believing
because we have to try.
We can rise above
their truth and their lies.

Chorus 2x:
See who I am,
break through the surface.
Reach for my hand,
And show them that we can
free our minds and find a way.
The world is in our hands,

This is not the end

Hear the silence
preaching my blame.
Will our strength remain
if their power reigns?

Chorus 2x:
See who I am,
break through the surface.
Reach for my hand,
And show them that we can
free our minds and find a way.
The world is in our hands,

This is not the end.

I've been dreaming for so long,
To find a meaning
To understand.
The secret of life,
Why am I here
To try again?
Will I always,
Will you always
See the truth
When it stares you in the face?
Will I ever
Will I never free myself breaking these chains?

I'd give my heart, give my soul.
I'd turn it back, it's my fault.
Your destiny is forlorn,
Have to live till it's undone.
I'd give my heart, give my soul.
I'd turn it back
And then at last
I'll be on my way.

I've been living for so long,
Many seasons passed me by.
I've seen kingdoms through ages
Rise and fall,
I've seen it all.
I've seen the horror,
I've seen the wonders
Happening just in front of my eyes.
Will I ever
Will I never free myself by making it right?

I'd give my heart, give my soul.
I'd turn it back, it's my fault.
Your destiny is forlorn,
Have to live till it's undone.
I'd give my heart, give my soul.
I'd turn it back
And then at last
I'll be on my way.

Jillian
Our dream ended long ago.
All our stories
And all our glory
I held so dear.
We won't be together for ever and ever,
No more tears.
I'll always be here
Untill the end...

I'd give my heart, give my soul.
I'd turn it back, it's my fault.
Your destiny is forlorn,
Have to live till it's undone.
I'd give my heart, give my soul.
I'd turn it back
And then at last
I'll be on my way.

I can see
when you stay low nothing happens.
Does it feel right?
Late at night
things I thought I put behind me
haunt my mind.

I just know there’s no escape now
once it sets its eyes on you.
But I won't run, have to stare it in
the eye.

Chorus:
Stand my ground, I won't give in.
No more denying, I've got to face it.
Won’t close my eyes and hide the
truth inside.
If I don’t make it,
someone else will stand my ground.

It’s all around, getting stronger,
coming closer into my world.
I can feel that it's time for me to face
it,
can I take it?

Though this might just be the ending
of the life I held so dear.
But I won’t run,
there’s no turning back from here.

Repeat chorus:

All I know for sure is I’m trying.
I will always stand my ground.

Chorus2x

The world seems not the same,
though I know nothing has changed.
It's all my state of mind,
I don't leave it all behind.
Have to stand up to be stronger.

Chorus:
Have to try to break free
from the thoughts in my mind.
Use the time that I have,
I can say goodbye,
have to make it right.
Have to fight, cause I know
in the end it's worthwhile,
that the pain that I feel slowly fades
away.
It will be alright.

I know, should realise
time is precious, it is worthwhile.
Despite how I feel inside,
have to trust it will be alright.
Have to stand up to be stronger.

Repeat chorus:

Oh, this night is too long.
I have no strength to go on.
No more pain, I'm floating away.
Through the mist I see the face
of an angel, who calls my name.
I remember you're the reason I have
to stay

Repeat Chorus

Now the day has come
We are forsaken this time

We lived our lives in our paradise,
As gods we shaped the world around
No borderlines we'd stay behind,
Though balance is something fragile

While we thought we were gaining,
We would turn back the tide, it still
lsips away
Our time has run out, our future has
died,
There's no more escape

Now the day has come,
We are forsaken,
There's no time anymore
Life will pass us by,
We are forsaken,
We're the last of our kind

The sacrifice was much too high,
Our greed just made us all go blind
We tried to hide what we fared
inside
Today is the end of tomorrow

As the sea started rising,
The land that we'd conquered just
washed away
Although we all have tried to turn
back the tide,
It was all in vain

Now the day has come,
We are forsaken,
There's no time anymore
Life will pass us by, we are forsaken,
Only ruins stay behind

Now the day has come
We are forsaken this time

Now the day has come,
We are forsaken,
There's no time anymore

Now the day has come
The day has come
The day has come

Sparkling angel I believed
you were my saviour in my time of
need.
Blinded by faith I couldn’t hear
all the whispers, the warnings so
clear.
I see the angels,
I'll lead them to your door.
There's no escape now,
no mercy no more.
No remorse cause I still remember
the smile when you tore me apart.

Chorus:
You took my heart,
Deceived me right from the start.
You showed me dreams,
I wished they would turn into real.
You broke the promise and made me
realise.
It was all just a lie.

Sparkling angel, I couldn't see
your dark intensions, your feelings
for me.
Fallen angel, tell me why?
What is the reason, the thorn in
your eye?

I see the angels,
I’ll lead them to your door.
There's no escape now,
no mercy no more.
No remorse cause I still remember
the smile when you tore me apart.

Chorus:
You took my hear,
deceived me right from the start.
You showed me dreams,
I wished they would turn into real.
You broke the promise and made me
realise.
It was all just a lie.
Could have been forever.
Now we have reached the end.

This world may have failed you,
it doesn’t give you reason why.
You could have chosen a different
path in life.

The smile when you tore me apart.

Repeat chorus

In this world you tried
not leaving me alone behind.
There's no other way.
I prayed to the gods let him stay.
The memories ease the pain inside,
now I know why.

Chorus:
All of my memories keep you near.
In silent moments imagine you here.
All of my memories keep you near.
Your silent whispers, silent tears.

Made me promise I'd try
to find my way back in this life.
I hope there is a way
to give me a sign you're ok.
Reminds me again it's worth it all
so I can go on.

Repeat chorus:

Together in all these memories
I see your smile.
All the memories I hold dear.
Darling, you know I will love you
until the end of time.

Repeat chorus:

All of my memories....

I hear your whispers
break the silence and it calms me
down.
Your taste on my lips,
your salty kisses.

They say I'm seeking out the
danger.
That one day you won't let me go,
(I'll drown, you'll take me down.)

I need you Aquarius,
enchanted I will have to stay.
I feel you Aquarius,
cause you the sea set me free.
You call to me Aquarius.
(You call to me, you set me free)

I relinquish to your powers.
From your grasp, I just can't hide.
Missed the danger I had to conquer.
You made me feel alive.

They say I have to be aware,
that one day you won't let me go,
(I'll drown, you'll take me down)

I need you Aquarius,
enchanted I will have to stay.
I feel you Aquarius,
cause you the sea set me free.
You call to me Aquarius.
(You call to me, you set me free)

I long for you Aquarius.
I need to be with you again.
I fear you, Aquarius.
My destiny till the end.

I need you Aquarius,
enchanted I will have to stay.
I feel you Aquarius,
cause you the sea set me free.
You call to me Aquarius.
(You call to me, you set me free)

It waits for the day I will let it out.
To give it a reason, to give it its
might

I fear who I am becoming
I feel that I am losing the struggle
within.
I can no longer restrain it
my strength it is fading
I have to give in.

(It's the fear)
Fear of the dark
It's growing inside of me
That one day will come to life.
(Have to save)
To save my beloved
there is no escape
because my fate is horror and doom.

Hold down your head now,
just let me pass by.
Don't feed my fear,
if you don't want it out.

I fear who I am becoming,
I feel that I am losing all beauty
within.
I can no longer restrain it,
my strength it is fading,
I have to give in.

(It's the fear)
Fear of the dark
It's growing inside of me
That one day will come to life.
(Have to save)
To save my beloved
there is no escape
because my fate is horror and doom.

Long ago it came to me
I'm ever since that day,
Infected with its rage
But it ends today.

(It's the fear)
Fear of the dark
It's growing inside of me
That one day will come to life.
(Have to save)
To save my beloved
there is no escape
because my fate is horror and doom.

Lost in the darkness, hoping for a
sign.
Instead there is only silence,
can't you hear my screams?
Never stop hoping,
Need to know where you are,
but one thing is for sure,
you're always in my heart.

Chorus:
I'll find you somewhere.
I'll keep on trying until my dying day.
I just need to know whatever has
happened,
the truth will free my soul.

Lost in the darkness, try to find your
way home.
I want to embrace you and never let
you go.
Almost hope you're in heaven so no
one can hurt your soul.
Living in agony cause I just do not
know
where you are.

Repeat chorus

Wherever you are, I won't stop
searching.
Whatever it takes, I need to know.

Repeat chorus

I'm searching for answers
cause something is not right.
I follow the signs,
I'm close to the fire.

I fear that soon you'll reveal
your dangerous mind.

Chorus:
It's in your eyes, what's on your
mind.
I fear your smile and the promise
inside.
It's in your eyes, what's on your
mind.
I fear your presence, I'm frozen
inside.

I'm searching for answers
not questioned before.
The curse of awareness,
there's no peace of mind.
As your true colours show
a dangerous sign.

Chorus:
It's in your eyes, what's on your
mind.
I see the truth that you've buried
inside.
It's in your eyes, what's on your
mind.
There is no mercy, just anger I find.

I just have to know, while I still have
time.
Do I have to run, or hide away from
you?

Chorus:
It's in your eyes, what's on your
mind.
I see the truth that you've buried
inside.
It's in your eyes, what's on your
mind.
There is no mercy, just anger I find.

Winter has come for me, can't carry on.
The chains to my life are strong but soon they'll be gone.
I'll spread my wings one more time.

Is it a dream?
All the ones I have loved calling out my name.
The sun warms my face.
All the days of my life, I see them passing me by.

In my heart I know I can let go.
In the end I will find some peace inside.
New wings are growing tonight.

Is it a dream?
All the ones I have loved calling out my name.
The sun warms my face.
All the days of my life, I see them passing me by.

As I am soaring I'm one with the wind.
I am longing to see you again, it's been so long.
We will be together again.

Is it a dream?
All the ones I have loved calling out my name.
The sun warms my face.
All the days of my life, I see them passing me by.

Where are the heroes
I my time of need
Is my crying abandoned?
Or have they gone
Oh no

They just tend to stand
Out of the rain
Thinking but not acting
That they're not to blame

Falling and crawling
A fight to stand up
Memory still haunts me
In the dead of night

Over and over
I felt so small
But one day I'll be stronger
And you better watch out

Chorus:
I will overcome
In violence there's silence
Oh no,
It can't be undone
I will overcome
Knowing that I'm not the only one
I will overcome
It's the only way to carry on

Where are the saviours
Afraid of the toll
Sorry do my nine inch nails
Slash your soul?

Such heroes
Throwing stones
Straight at the one
Who is standing alone?

Twisting and turning
It's always the same
The truth is never honest
When you're to blame

Pushing and pulling
Never give in
One day I wish
You see you're not so beautiful
within

Chorus

Run and run
Run and run

Chorus

I will overcom

The turn against
The world we know
Now our destiny
Will be decided
We have to send our brothers in arms
With pain in our heart
We watched them go
Will they return?
Truth is we had no choice
We'll try to shield those we can
No better world
Let this end
Mothers cry
Our boys die
But we'll stand 'till the end

[No lyrics]

I did my best to please you
But my best was never good enough
Somehow you're only able to see
All I am not
Did you ever look behind
Aren't you afraid of the pieces you'll find
I have failed you
But you have failed me too
It's so easy to destroy and condemn
The ones you do not understand
Do you ever wonder if it's justified
It's so easy to destroy and condemn
The ones you do not understand
In your life why didn't you ever try
I close my eyes as I walk the thin line between love and hate
For the person with the same blood in his veins
You show no regrets
About all the things you did or said
I have failed you
But believe me you failed me too
It's so easy to destroy and condemn
The ones you do not understand
Do you ever wonder if it's justified
It's so easy to destroy and condemn
The ones you do not understand
In your life why didn't you ever try
It's so easy to destroy and condemn
The ones you do not understand
Do you ever wonder if it's justified
It's so easy to destroy and condemn
The ones you do not understand
Do you ever wonder if it's justified

Why, you just won’t leave my mind ?
Was this the only way ?
I couldn’t let you stay ?

Run away, hide away
the secrets in your mind.
Sacrificed just her life,
for a higher love

No matter how many stones you put
inside.
She’ll always keeps on floating in
your mind.
With every turn of your head you
see her face again,
until the end, over and over again.

Why, you just won’t leave my mind ?
Was this the only way ?
I couldn’t let you stay ?

Told the truth she laughed at you.
Something snapped inside.
She had to go or they would know,
all you tried to hide

The sins of your life are now
catching up with you.
You can’t stay ahead. There’s
nothing you can do.
With every turn of your head you
see her face again,
until the end, over and over again.

Why, you just won’t leave my mind ?
Was this the only way ?
I couldn’t let you stay ?

(repeat 2x)
