We've been seeing what you wanted, got us cornered right now
Falling asleep from our vanity might cost us our lives I hear them getting closer, their howls are sending chills down my spine Time is running out now, they're coming down the hills from behind When we start killing It's all coming down right now From the nightmare we've created I want to be awakened somehow (wanna be awakened right now) When we start killing It all will be falling down From the hell that we're in, all we are is fading away When we start killing We've been searching on and on but there's no trace to be found It's like they all have just vanished but I know they're around I feel they're getting closer, their howls are sending chills down my spine Time is running out now, they're coming down the hills from behind When we start killing It's all coming down right now From the nightmare we've created I want to be awakened somehow (wanna be awakened right now) When we start killing It all will be falling down From the hell that we're in, all we are is fading away When we start killing When we start killing I feel they're getting closer, their howls are sending chills down my spine Time is running out now, they're coming down the hills from behind... The sun is rising, the screams have gone Too many have fallen, few still stand tall Is this the end of what we begun Will we remember what we've done wrong? When we start killing It's all coming down right now From the nightmare we've created I want to be awakened somehow (wanna be awakened right now) When we start killing It all will be falling down From the hell that we're in, all we are is fading away When we start killing When we start killing When we start killing... 02. What Have You Done Music by Within Temptation
Would you mind if I hurt you?
Understand that I need to Wish that I had other choices than to harm the one I love What have you done now? I know I better stop trying You know that there's no denying I won't show mercy on you now I know I should stop beleiving I know that there's no retrieving It's over now What have you done? What have you done now? I've been waiting for someone like you But now you are slipping away (what have you done now?) Why? Why does fate make us suffer? There's a curse between us Between me and you What have you done? Would you mind if I killed you? Would you mind if I tried to? Cause you have turned into my worst enemy You carry hate that I don't feel It's over now What have you done? What have you done now? I've been waiting for someone like you But now you are slipping away (what have you done now?) Why? why does fate make us suffer? There's a curse between us Between me and you What have you done? I will not fall Won't let it go We will be free when it ends I've been waiting for someone like you But now you are slipping away (what have you done now?) Why? why does fate make us suffer? There's a curse between us Between me and you 03. Frozen Music by Within Temptation
I can't feel my senses
I just feel the cold All colors seem to fade away I can't reach my soul I won't stop running If I knew there was a chance It tears me apart to sacrifice it all But I'm forced to let go Tell me I'm frozen What can I do? Can't tell the reasons I did it for you! When lies turn into truth I sacrifice for you You say that I am frozen What can I do?! I can feel your sorrow You won't forgive me But I know you'll be alright It tears me apart that you will never know But I have to let go Tell me I'm frozen What can I do? Can't tell the reasons I did it for you! When lies turn into truth I sacrifice for you You say that I am frozen What can I do?! Everything will slip away Shattered pieces will remain When memories fade into emptiness Only time will tell its tale If it all has been in vain I can't feel my senses I just feel the cold Frozen What can I do? Frozen Tell me I'm frozen What can I do? Can't tell the reasons I did it for you! When lies turn into truth I sacrifice for you You say that I am frozen 04. Our Solemn Hour Music by Within Temptation
Santus, espiritus, redeem us from our solemn hour
Santus, espiritus, insanity is all around us Santus, espiritus In my darkest hours I could not foresee That the time could turn so fast to this degree Can't believe my eyes How can you be so blind Is the heart of stone, no empathy inside To keep from slipping away And we haven't learned So in the end what have we gained? Santus, espiritus, redeem us from our solemn hour Santus, espiritus, insanity is all around us Santus, espiritus is this what we deserve Can we break free from chains of neverending agony? Are they themselves to blame The misery, the pain Didn't we let go, allowed it, let it grow? If we can't restrain The beast that dwells inside It will find its way somehow, somewhere in time Will we remember all of the suffering Cause if we fail it will be in vain Santus, espiritus, redeem us from our solemn hours Santus, espiritus, insanity is all around us Santus, espiritus is this what we deserve Can we break free from chains of neverending agony? 05. The Heart Of Everything Music by Within Temptation
Nor the pain and the sorrow
Caused by my mistakes Won't repent to a mortal Whom is all to blame Now I know I won't make it There will be a time We'll get back our freedom They can't break what's inside I'll face it Cause it's the heart of everything Open up your eyes Save yourself from fading away now Don't let it go Open up your eyes See what you've become, don't sacrifice It's truly the heart of everything Open up your eyes Stay with me now I'm facing My last solemn hour Very soon i'll embrace you On the other side Hear the crowd in the distance Screaming out my faith Now the voices are fading I can feel no more pain I'll face it Cause it's the heart of everything Open up your eyes Save yourself, from fading away now Don't let it go Open up your eyes See what you've become, don't sacrifice It's truly the heart of everything Open up your eyes Open up your eyes Open up your eyes Save yourself, from fading away now Don't let it go Open up your eyes See what you've become, don't sacrifice It's truly the heart of everything 06. Hand Of Sorrow Music by Within Temptation
The child without a name grew up to be the hand
To watch you, to shield you, or kill on demand The choice he'd made he could not comprehend His blood a grim secret they had to command He's torn between his honour and the true love of his life He prayed for both but was denied So many dreams are broken and so much was sacrificed Was it worth the ones we loved and had to leave behind So many years have past, who are the noble and the wise? Will all our sins be justified? The curse of his powers tormented his life Obeying the crown was a sinister crime His soul was tortured by love and by pain He surely would flee but the oath made him stay He's torn between his honour and the true love of his life He prayed for both but was denied So many dreams are broken and so much was sacrificed Was it worth the ones we loved and had to leave behind So many years have past, who are the noble and the wise? Will all our sins be justified? Please forgive me for the sorrow For leaving you in fear For the dreams we had to silence That's all they'll ever be Still I'll be the hand that serves you Though you'll not see that it is me So many dreams are broken and so much was sacrificed Was it worth the ones we loved and had to leave behind So many years have past, who are the noble and the wise? Will all our sins be justified? 07. The Cross Music by Within Temptation
Nothing's ever changed, you still turn away
You've washed your hands You've made that all too clear You just keep on living this lie You refuse to see, you're denying me The cross I bear But you don't seem to care Even Judas knew he had lied I keep wondering why I'm still calling your name through my tears Why have you waited to embrace me, my dear? Cold is your silence, denying what is real I'm still wondering why I'm still calling your name, my dear I'm sorry if you can't stand the naked truth All you see is how you want it to be So you keep on living your lie Release me from this cross after all these years Call my name and help me with this weight Even though it comes far too late I keep wondering why I'm still calling your name through my tears Why have you waited to embrace me, my dear? Cold is your silence, denying what is real I'm still wondering why I'm still calling your name And I wonder, oh, I wonder In my heart I still hope you will open the door You can purify it all, answer my call Why have you waited to embrace me, my dear? Cold is your silence, denying what is real I'm still wondering why I'm still calling your name And I wonder, oh, I wonder In my heart I still hope you will open the door You can purify it all, answer my call 08. Final Destination Music by Within Temptation
I escaped my final moment,
But it's turning back at me On every corner I can feel it waiting Just a moment, no awareness, I can easily slip away. And then I'll be gone forever! I'm searching I'm finding for a way to get through To turn it away It's waiting, always trying Feel the hands of fate They're suffocating Tell me what's the reason Is it only inside my head? Can't take it no more All around me I see danger And it's closing in on me Every second I can hear it breathing I can't stand the feeling inside of me 'Cause it's leading me astray And it will be my ending I'm searching I'm finding for a way to get through To turn it away It's waiting, always trying Feel the hands of fate They're suffocating Tell me what's the reason Is it only inside my head? Can't take it no more But no one faced what's coming my way And I will let my fear fade away Whatever may be, I'll have to find out It's waiting, always trying Feel the hands of fate They're suffocating. Tell me what's the reason Is it only inside my head? Can't take it no more 09. All I Need Music by Within Temptation
I'm dying to catch my breath
oh why don't I ever learn? I've lost all my trust though I've surely try to turn it around Can you still see the heart of me all my agony fades away when you hold me in your embrace Don't tearr me down for all i need make my heart a better place give me something I can believe Don't tear me down you've opened the door now don't let it close I'm here on the edge again I wish I could let it go I know that I'm only one step away From turning it around Can you still see the heart of me all my agony fades away when you hold me in your embrace Don't tear me down for all I need make my heart a better place give me something I can believe Don't tear it down what's left of me make my heart a better place i've tried many times but nothing was real make it fade away don't break me down I want to believe that this is for real save me from my fear don't tear me down don't tear me down for all I need make my heart a better place don't tear me down for all I need make my heart a better place give me something i can believe don't tear it down what's left of me make my heart a better place 10. The Truth Beneath The Rose Music by Within Temptation
Give me strength to face the truth
The doubt within my soul No longer I can justify The bloodshed in his name Is it a sin to seek the truth, the truth beneath the rose? Pray with me so I will find the gate to Heaven's door I believed it would justify the means It had a hold over me Blinded to see The cruelty of the beast It is the darkest side of me Forgive me my sins The veil of my dreams Deceived all I have seen Forgive me for what I have been Forgive me my sins Pray for me 'cause I have lost my faith in holy wars Is paradise denied to me 'cause I can't take no more Has darkness taken over me Consumed my mortal soul? All my virtues sacrificed Can Heaven be so cruel? I believed it would justify the means It had a hold over me Forgive me my sins Blinded to see The cruelty of the beast It is the darkest side of me Forgive me my sins The veil of my dreams Deceived all I have seen Forgive me for what I have been Forgive me my sins I'm hoping, I'm praying I won't get lost between two worlds For all I have seen The truth lies in between Give me the strength to face the wrong that I have done Now that I know the darkest side of me How can blood be your salvation And justify the pain That we have caused throughout the times Will I learn what's truly sacred? Will I redeem my soul? Will truth set me free? Blinded to see The cruelty of the beast It is the darkest side of me Forgive me my sins The veil of my dreams Deceived all I have seen Forgive me for what I have been Forgive me my sins 11. Forgiven Music by Within Temptation
Couldn't save you from the start
Love you so it hurts my soul Can you forgive me for trying again? Your silence makes me hold my breath Time has passed you by For so long, I've tried to shield you from the world You couldn't face the freedom on your own Here I am Left in silence You gave up the fight You left me behind All that's done is forgiven You'll always be mine I know deep inside All that's done is forgiven I watched the clouds drifting away Still the sun can't warm my face I know it was destined to go wrong You were looking for the great escape To chase your demons away For so long, I've tried to shield you from the world You couldn't face the freedom on your own Here I am Left in silence You gave up the fight You left me behind All that's done is forgiven You'll always be mine I know deep inside All that's done is forgiven I've been so lost since you've gone Why not me before you? Why did fate deceive me? Everything turned out so wrong Why did you leave me in silence? You gave up the fight You left me behind All that's done is forgiven You'll always be mine I know deep inside All that's done is forgiven 12. The Last Time
For so long I've tried.
Could not close my eyes. When you became a outcast in this life. Again and again I try to understand the demons inside your head, but the truth is you love them to death. Now, I know it's the last time I have tried to lift you up, to make you fight. Nothing is ever easy in life. I can't change it if you don't have the will deep inside. I have been blind to how you justify everything that you've wasted in this life. Got lost in the illusion, I'd find a solution for the demons in your head, but the truth is you love them to death. Now, I know it's the last time I have tried to lift you up, to make you fight. Nothing is ever easy in life. I can't change it if you don't have the will deep inside. You can blame and you can hide behind what is wrong and what is right. Life is the choices we make I hope you'll awake before it's too late. Now, I know it's the last time I have tried to lift you up, to make you fight. Nothing is ever easy in life. I can't change it if you don't have the will deep inside. 13. Sounds Of Freedom
Your call is coming
I'm dreaming away For what lies hidden It needs to be found Sounds of freedom make me wanna try When the ghosts are found They will lead us to tomorrow Sounds of freedom make me wanna try Voices forgotten I hear them close by Ghosts from the past i can see through their eyes Are these the ancestors leaving me signs? Sounds of freedom make me wanna try When the ghosts are found They will lead us to tomorrow Sounds of freedom make me wanna try The sounds, they are all around Forces start moving out Taking sides, though there's so much That I need to know And soon it will be shown Sounds of freedom make me wanna try When the ghosts are found They will lead us to tomorrow Sounds of freedom make me wanna try When the ghosts are found, they will lead us to tomorrow When the ghosts are found, they will lead us to tomorrow If we could restart how it was before tomorrow. 14. Blue Eyes
Blue eyes just smile to the world
Full of dreams and with fascination Too soon she saw that her hands were Chained and pulled without any freedom It's always the same, they fear no way out I can not break it, I can't take it no more It's burning me up inside Lost all my tears, can't cry No reason, no meaning Just hatred No matter how hard I try You fear the beast inside It's growing, it's waiting Just to hurt you This heart was hurt by the lights And I see your world that tries to deny us Now everything that I love Has died or has been shattered to pieces It's always the same, they fear no way out I can not break it, I can take it no more It's burning me up inside Lost all my tears, can't cry No reason, no meaning Just hatred No matter how hard I try You fear the beast inside It's growing, it's waiting Just to hurt you Can't you see their eyes, what lies inside They've given up, they no longer shine Too soon they'll close with one last cry Before they turn to light It's burning me up inside Lost all my tears, can't cry No reason, no meaning Just hatred No matter how hard I try You fear the beast inside It's growing, it's waiting Just to hurt you |
