Within Temptation
Album • 2014
Now darkness has come to the roses The fire is reaching the end The colours that I have created Are suddenly flying away I'm not fighting myself, will not follow 'Cause my choices are mine, it's my fate And I'll never bow down from the sorrow I'll face all that is coming my way Denying the devil of silence Embracing the world on the edge Let us burn Let us burn And light up the skies here tonight Let us burn Let us burn In this fire that makes us yearn We're fighting our fear of the silence We're running through walls where they stand Let us burn Let us burn Let us burn I'm searching no more for tomorrow I reach for the skies while I can The unknown will always be waiting My last day I'll jump in its hands I'm not fighting myself, will not follow 'Cause my choices are mine, it's my fate And I'll never bow down from the sorrow I'll face all that is coming my way Denying the devil of silence Embracing the world on the edge Let us burn Let us burn And light up the skies here tonight Let us burn Let us burn In this fire that makes us yearn We're fighting our fear of the silence We're running through walls where they stand Let us burn Let us burn Let us burn Why, why don't you let me burn? Why don't you come down And break out and let me burn? Oh why, why don't you let me burn? Why don't you let me burn? Why don't you let me burn? Oh why? Chasing the demons in my mind Oh why am I waiting for change? Throwing me to the ground Now darkness has come to the roses The fire is reaching the end Let us burn Let us burn And light up the skies here tonight Let us burn Let us burn In this fire that makes us yearn We're fighting our fear of the silence We're running through walls where they stand Let us burn Let us burn Let us burn

It burns into your heart, the darkness that you fear You were never free, and you never realized And love is a word you never heard Your heart ain't cold 'cause it burns A desire to leave the mire Take your breath till nothing's left Scars of life upon your chest And I know wherever it goes And we run with a lonely heart And we run for this killing love And we run till the heavens above Yeah we run, running in the dark And we run till we fall apart And we run till the heavens above Don't blink, you'll miss it Lift up your head We gotta get gone Yeah, we outta here Don't blink, you'll miss it Lift up your head Too late, we gone Yeah, we outta here And we run with a lonely heart And we run for this killing love And we long for a heavenly heart I'ma break these chains, ran through the rain Never look back, never quit work through the pain This blood in my veins run cold When I think it'll never be the same But I never lose hope This is my time now, no time for tears Celebrate, put it in the air right now! Never back down You can never wear my crown 'cause it weighs too much And I crush every motherfucking thing I touch This is love I've never loved so much! Get involved make the world stand up! Give my life before I ever give up "Name in lights", you lost all my trust Now it's time to face all of us Get in line cause they callin' us And it feels so marvelous Just take my hand and run! And we run with a lonely heart And we run for this killing love And we run till the heavens above Yeah we run, running in the dark And we run till we fall apart And we run till the heavens above Yeah, we out of here Don't blink, you'll miss it Lift up your head We gotta get gone Yeah, we outta here Don't blink, you'll miss it Lift up your head Too late, we gone Yeah, we outta here And we run with a lonely heart And we run for this killing love And we long for a heavenly heart Don't blink, you'll miss it Lift up your head We gotta get gone Yeah, we outta here Don't blink, you'll miss it Lift up your head Too late, we gone Yeah, we outta here

Can I swallow the soil, make it all beautiful? Can I carry you, carry you, carry you now? The truth can't bare the sunlight You're afraid for the day it does And when I told you so I got burned, burned, burned again Heaven forbid that my heart is forsaken Hope in the end, truth prevails I'm gonna run to the edge of the world Run to the edge of the world Feel that I'm gonna get home if I try I'm gonna run to the edge of the world Run to the edge of the world Need to find my way home You're as proud as a god, but I believed in your heart And I'll be leaving you, leaving you, leaving you now The truth can't bare the sunlight And don't pretend to be my guide You said you'd change it all But I got burned, burned, burned instead Heaven can wait cause my soul is for sale Hope in the end, truth prevails I'm gonna run to the edge of the world Run to the edge of the world Feel that I'm gonna get home if I try I'm gonna run to the edge of the world Run to the edge of the world Need to find my way home Justify, no more lies Once upon a time...

Turn around, open your eyes Can't move on, the fear is tying you down Open your eyes It's alright... oh! I'm hellbound in this life Keep fighting this endless war It's always been like this, I don't know why Enslavement of your mind Your fear, it ties me down Going down, I won't bow... no! Screaming at the walls of fire They're closing in on me (Closing in on me) I hunger for the vertigo,the silver moonlight It's where I wanna be (It's where I wanna be) Screaming at the walls of fire But I'm still running free (I'm still running free) In the silver moonlight I can breathe These days are only now Breathing in the coldest lies I think that's only what you have in mind Holding on to the best of you I hit the pavement Going down, I won't bow down! Screaming at the walls of fire They're closing in on me (Closing in on me) I hunger for the vertigo,the silver moonlight It's where I wanna be (It's where I wanna be) Screaming at the walls of fire But I'm still running free (I'm still running free) In the silver moonlight I can breathe I'm impatient but it's colors that I need Too many shades of gray, I cannot breath (I can't breathe) The dreams I have ain't tainted, I need you to believe The only way to make them real (I can breathe) Screaming at the walls of fire They're closing in on me (Closing in on me) I hunger for the vertigo,the silver moonlight It's where I wanna be (It's where I wanna be) Screaming at the walls of fire But I'm still running free (I'm still running free) In the silver moonlight I can breathe (I can breathe) Turn around, open your eyes Can't move on, the fear is tying me down Open your eyes, it's alright...

I feel my heart explode to particles Love is always here and I told you so Restless in dreams, love carved in stone This rhapsody of life, in a way, I guess we all know it Hand in hand we stand while we watch it flow Heaven can you help us, where we can't go Covered by roses When this dance is over We all know all beauty will die The choirs have awoken Left no words unspoken Remember you as long as I can Hold you in my arms all night And spill the wine until the end We all have our place in time Need to live every moment We build our castles high, turned our dreams to gold We took the blows with pride, went through it all The dawn is closing in, new tales are told This rhapsody of life, in a way, I guess we all know Covered by roses When this dance is over We all know all beauty will die The choirs have awoken Left no words unspoken Remember you as long as I can Hold you in my arms all night And spill the wine until the end We all have our place in time Need to live every moment For all we are these falling stars in the night A blinding light raging down from the sky The rise and fall, the rhapsody of our lives It's all we are and know, we've got to let go "She dwells with beauty, beauty that must die And joy, whose hand is ever at his lips His soul shall taste the sadness of her might And be among her cloudy trophies hung" Covered by roses When this dance is over We all know all beauty will die The choirs have awoken Left no words unspoken Remember you as long as I can Hold you in my arms all night And spill the wine until the end We all have our place in time Need to live every moment

Wake up in the dead of night Dogs are turning wild Run into what's wrong each time Fail to get it right Fighting off this heavy heart Keeping your head high Oh won't you please forget? Won't you please forget? These are the dog days These are the dog days Leading our hearts astray These are the dog days These are the dog days Soon they will fade away One, two, three, four What are you waiting for? One, two, three, four What are you waiting for? These are the dog days These are the dog days Awakened by the dreams at night Chills run down your spine The brightest star in summer skies Brings madness to our minds Fighting off the darkest thoughts Fighting to survive Oh won't you please forget? Won't you please forget? These are the dog days These are the dog days Leading our hearts astray These are the dog days These are the dog days Soon they will fade away One, two, three, four What are you waiting for? One, two, three, four What are you waiting for? These are the dog days These are the dog days Embracing the highs to fight the lows Running down the path that I think i need to go When you think you've won You're still losing after all These are the dog days These are the dog days These are the dog days These are the dog days Leading our hearts astray These are the dog days These are the dog days Soon they will fade away One, two, three, four What are you waiting for? One, two, three, four What are you waiting for? These are the dog days These are the dog days

I've been losing myself in anger So much broken by the rage Nothing could take my mind off How to make them pay Killing myself for nothing And the pain will go away Losing myself to madness And the game’s been played If I could turn the hands of time I would , but here I am Tell me why am I still here when it’s all gone I’m living with the ghosts of yesterday Tell me why I am still trying to hold on I’ve got to tear it down to let it go I’m too tired to keep on trying But I’m spellbound till the end Knowing that there’s no closure For my wars inside I’ve buried the good and evil Only memories left behind I am the one still standing I will live to tell If I could turn the hands of time I would, but here I am (Here I am!) Tell me why am I still here when it’s all gone I’m living with the ghosts of yesterday Tell me why I am still trying to hold on I’ve got to tear it down to let it go Tell me why I’m wasting away Tell me how to break my own chains ‘Cause I’m losing after all Tell me how to escaped this grim fate Tell me how to face one more day ‘Cause I’m wasting away It’s all gone silent I'm searching for fire Nothing to fight for alone Tell me why am I still here when it’s all gone (When it’s all gone, when it’s all gone) I’m living with the ghosts of yesterday (Yesterday’s gone, yesterday’s gone) Tell me why I am still trying to hold on I’ve got to tear it down to let it go

You live your life You go day by day like nothing can go wrong Then scars are made, they're changing the game You learn to play it hard And I know you wish for more, and I know you try And I hope you realize, you know the time is right The whole world is watching when you rise The whole world is beating for you right now Your whole life is flashing for your eyes It's all in this moment that changes all What are you waiting for? What are you fighting for? 'Cause time's always slipping away The whole world is watching Yeah, the whole world is watching you when you rise You build your walls, you break them away 'Cause that is what it takes You saved yourself, you found who you are That never goes away And I know you wish for more, and I know you try And I hope you realize, you know the time is right The whole world is watching when you rise The whole world is beating for you right now Your whole life is flashing for your eyes It's all in this moment that changes all What are you waiting for? What are you fighting for? 'Cause time's always slipping away The whole world is watching Yeah, the whole world is watching you when you rise Your sacrifice goes through your mind But nothing is wasted, you've made it now You rise again, breaking out Each step you've taken, you've paid the price The whole world is watching The whole world is watching The whole world is watching you when you rise What are you waiting for? What are you fighting for? 'Cause time's always slipping away The whole world is watching Yeah, the whole world is watching you when you rise
