Within Temptation

She embraced, with a smile
As she opened the door.
A cold wind blows, it put's a chill into her heart.
You have taken away the trust,
you're the ghost haunting through her heart.
Past and present are one in her head,
You're the ghost haunting through her heart.

Take my hand as I wonder through,
All my life I gave to you.
Take my hand as I wonder through,
All my love I gave to you.

You have taken away the trust,
you're the ghost haunting through her heart.
Past and present are one in her head,
You're the ghost haunting through her heart.

Take my hand as I wonder through,
All my life I gave to you.
Take my hand as I wonder through,
All my love I gave to you

The gates of time have opened,
Now, it's chains are broken.
An ancient force unleashed again
As I enter the portal,
I feel the enchantment
The stars above are lying at my feet.

Come near me,
enter my private chambers,
I want to feel the warmth on my face,
light-in darkness,
lift me up from here.
Give me your wings,
to flee from my ivory tower.

As I enter the portal,

Come near me,

Give me your wings,
to flee from my ivory tower.

After,
the cold darkness,
in the heart of the forest.
Where birds are singing,
for the new born sun

In the womb of the leaves,
on the branches of the trees,
lies the treasure of the morning,
the pearls of light.

Carriedd away by thee truculence of my world,
I got lost in the surch for enlightment,
The blue ran,
Covereed my roots and I forgot where I came from.

Is there a place deep within?
A place where you hide your darkest sins

There's a strange kind of ambiance,
it's surrounding you
as a songstress you lure me,
towards the truth

Candles die down ass you leave the room
In my heart you leave no gloom
As you lure me I know the truth
You're a leprechaun, I see you through.

Is there a place deep within?

There's a strange kind of ambiance,
it's surrounding you
as a songstress you lure me,
towards the truth

The shadows of the night,
are unleashed again.
Where their greed begins
the end is near.
A morbid hunger for blood,
lies in their cold black eyes
They've come to take our lives away.

One by one they died.
A massacre that took all night
They had no chance, it was no fight
You can't kill what has been killed before,
They died...

With shadows on its tale.
He stepped Through the portal,
locked the door and ate the key.
With his life they took their way to freedom,
and be became the final keeper of the key.

Cold are the bones of thy soldiers.
Longing for home, their little paradise.
I don't feel redemption on their side

Fallen from grace, help me rise again.
Fallen from grace, help me through.

Fallen from grace, help me through.
Fallen from grace.

Feel these hands, the pressure, the cold, tremble.

Do you hear these words.
Do you feel the wounds.
I'll never help you through.

Cold are thy souls,
I feel the resentment,
they feel betrayed,
They hate the cold
I don't feel redemption on their side.

Fallen from grace, help me rise again.
Fallen from grace, help me through.

I know you're going away
I take my love into another day
In my thoughts you're with me
I fell in love with your ways

I know you're going away
Lead my heart into a daze
I know you're going away
Leaves a void in my heart and soul

Wherever you are
Whatever you do
I feel the walls surrounding you

Wherever you are
Whatever you do
I know you are independent
But I'm trying to get through to you

Wherever you are
Whatever you do
Don't you know, it depends on you

Take away,
These hands of darkness.
Reaching for my soul.
Now, the cold wind,
blows out my candles.
Feeling,
only fear,
without any hopr.

A thousand dark moons.
A thousand winters long.
A million fallen stars,
the candle burns in the womb.

We trie not to forget,
they live through us.
Slowly they die away at every candle's end

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
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
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
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

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
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
By breaking these chains
I'd give my heart I'd 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 I'd 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 have past 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 I'd 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 I'd 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 until the end

I'd give my heart I'd 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 I'd give my soul
I'd turn it back it's my fault
Your destiny is forlorn

Stand my ground-within temptation


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 theres no escape
Now once it sets it's eyes on you
But I won't run, have to stare it in the eye

Stand my ground, I won't give in
No more denying, I got to face it
Won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside
If I dont make it, someone else will
Stand my ground

It's all around
Getting stronger, comming 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, theres no turning back from here

Stand my ground, I won't give in
No more denying, I got to face it
Won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside
If I dont make it, someone else will
Stand my ground

All I know for sure is im trying
I will always stand my ground



Stand my ground, I won't give in
No more denying, I got to face it
Won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside
If I dont make it, someone else will
Stand my ground


Stand my ground, I won't give in
No more denying, I got to face it
Won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside
If I dont make it, someone else will
Stand my ground

The world seems not the same
Though I know nothing has changed
It's all my state of mind
I can't leave it all behind
I have to stand up to be stronger
I 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
I 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

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
I 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

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 Stayed Behind
No Boundaries Is Something Fragile
Well We Thought We Were Gaining
We Turned Back The Time
It Still Slips 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 Any More
Life Will Pass Us By
We Are Forsaken
We're The Last Of Our Kind
The Sacrifice Was Much To Hide
Our Grief Just Made Us All Go On
We Try To Hide What We Fear Inside
Today Is The End Of Tomorrow
As The Sea Started Rise
And The Land That We Conquered
It Just Washed Away
We All Have Tried
To Turn Back The Time
It Was All In Vain
Now The Day Has Come
We Are Forsaken
There's no Time Anymore
Life Will Pass You By
We Are Forsaken
Only Rules Stay Below

Now The Day Has Come
We Are Forsaken This Time

Now The Day Has Come
We Are Forsaken
There's No Time Any More

Now The Day Has Come
The Day Has Come
The Day Has Come

Sparkling angel I believed
You were my savoir 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.

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 realize.
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.

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 realize.
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.

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 realize.
It was all just a lie.
Could have been forever.
Now we have reached the end -

Memories memories
Memories memories
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
All of my memories
keep you near
In silent moments
Imagine you'd be 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 okay
Reminds me again
it's worth it all
So I can go home
All of my memories
keep you near
It's all about us
Imagine you'd be here
All of my memories
keep you near
In silent whispers
silent tears
Together in all these memories
I see your smile
All the memories I hold dear
Darling you know I'll love you
till the end of time
All of my memories
keep you near
It's all about us
Imagine you'd be here
All of my memories
keep you near
Your silent whispers
silent tears
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-

waits for the day
I will let it out
To give it a reason
to give it's 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
and 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
