Within Temptation
Album • 2000
Birds and butterflies Rivers and mountains she creates But you'll never know The next move she'll make You can try But it is useless to ask why Cannot control her She goes her own way She rules until the end of time She gives and she takes She rules until the end of time She goes her own way With every breath And all the choices that we make We are only passing through on her way I find my strength Believing that your soul lives on Until the end of time I'll carry it with me Once you will know my dear You don't have to fear A new beginning always starts at the end Until the end of time She goes her own way

When leaves have fallen And skies turned into grey The night keeps on closing in on the day A nightingale sings his song of farewell You better hide for her freezing hell On cold wings she's coming You better keep moving For warmth, you'll be longing Come on just feel it Don't you see it? You better belief it When she embraces Your heart turns to stone She comes at night when you are all alone And when she whispers Your blood shall run cold You better hide before she finds you Whenever she is raging She takes all life away Haven't you seen? Haven't you seen? The ruins of our world She covers the earth with a breathtaking cloak The sun awakes and melts it away The world now opens its eyes and sees The dawning of a new day

These are the darkest clouds To have surrounded me Now I find my self alone caught in a cage There's no flower to be found in here Not withering or pale to me Everyone with a friendly face Seems to hide some secret inside He told me he loved me While he laughed in my face He just led me astray He took my virtue I feel so cold inside Sorrow has frozen my mind My heart is covered with thoughts entangled How could it ever have felt so real? Is there a place more lonely than I feel within? Could I have seen? Could I have known? I just took it as the truth Everyone with a friendly face Seems to hide some secret inside Always there to remind me To keep me from believing That someone might be there Who'll free me and never ever leave me

On behalf of her love She no longer sleeps Life had no longer meaning Nothing to make her stay She sold her soul away I held you tight to me You slipped away You promised to return to me And I believed, I believed After the night he died I wept my tears until they dried But the pain stayed the same I didn't want him to die all in vain I made a promise to revenge his soul in time I'll make them bleed down at my feet I held you tight to me You slipped away You promised to return to me And I believed, I believed Sometimes I wonder Could I have known about their true intentions As the pain stayed the same I'm going to haunt them down all the way I made a promise to revenge his soul in time One by one they were surprised

Armies have conquered And fallen in the end Kingdoms have risen Then buried by sand The Earth is our mother She gives and she takes She puts us to sleep In her light, we'll awake We'll all be forgotten There's no endless fame But everything we do It's never in vain We're part of a story, part of a tale We're all on this journey No one's to stay Wherever it's going, what is the way? Forests and deserts Rivers, blue seas Mountains and valleys Nothing here stays While we think we witness We're part of the scene This never-ending story Where will it lead to? The Earth is our mother She gives and she takes But she's also a part A part of the tale We're part of a story, part of a tale We're all on this journey No one's to stay Oh, where is it going, what is the way? We're part of a story, part of a tale Sometimes beautiful, sometimes insane No one remembers how it began We're part of a story, part of a tale We're all on this journey No one's to stay Oh, where is it going, what is the way? We're part of a story, part of a tale Sometimes beautiful, sometimes insane No one remembers how it began

He feeds on fear He feeds on pain He rules again With growing hate He will guide their faith again No light in the darkness is too small to see There's always a sparkle of hope If you just believe He told the tale so many times About the dream not meant to be In a world of the free He plays with your mind As faith for the future faded fast He grows strong with their displeasure It sets him free Deceiver of hearts Deceiver of fools He rules with fear Deceiver of hopes Deceiver of fools He rules again He feeds on fear Poisons the truth to gain their faith To lead the way to a world of decay He rules your heart He will sell your soul to the grave Without a hesitation he’ll make He belongs to the dark Deceiver of hearts Deceiver of fools He rules with fear Deceiver of hopes Deceiver of fools He rules again Please, awake and see the truth He can only be if you believe what he tells you Remember who you are, what you stand for And there will always be a way Deceiver of hearts Deceiver of fools He rules with fear Deceiver of hopes Deceiver of fools He rules again In my heart there is a place In my heart there is a trace of a small fire burning A sheltering ray shines through this night Although it’s small, it’s bright, but darkness is lurking He will sell your soul to bitterness and cold Fear him Deceiver of hearts Deceiver of fools He rules with fear Deceiver of hopes Deceiver of fools Shall he rule again?

This track is instrumental.
Why was I one of the chosen ones? Until the fight I could not see The magic and the strength of my power It was beyond my wildest dreams Dark wings they are descending See shadows gathering around One by one they are falling Every time they try to strike us down Don't you die on me You haven't made your peace Live life, breathe, breathe Don't you die on me You haven't made your peace Live life, breathe, breathe Dark wings they are descending See shadows gathering around One by one they are falling Every time they try to strike us down As they took your soul away The night turned into the day Blinded by your rays of life Give us the strength we needed

In a world so far away At the end of a closing day A little child was born and raised Deep in the forest on a hidden place Mother never saw his face Ancient spirits of the forest Made him king of elves and trees He was the only human being Who lived in harmony In perfect harmony Ancient spirits of the forest Made him king of elves and trees He was the only human being Who lived in harmony In perfect harmony The woods protected, fulfilled his needs Fruit by birds, honey by bees He found shelter under the trees He grew up in their company They became his family Ancient spirits of the forest Made him king of elves and trees He was the only human being Who lived in harmony In perfect harmony Ancient spirits of the forest Made him king of elves and trees He was the only human being Who lived in harmony In perfect harmony A thousand seasons They passed him by So many times, have said goodbye And when the spirits called out his name To join forever, forever to stay A forest spirit he became

On golden wings She flies at night With her dress It's blinding white Countless diamonds And her long blond hair The queen is coming So you'd better be aware Her plants and flowers They are never the same Blue and silver It's all her game flying dragons And enchanted woods She decides, she creates It's her reality In her world Of dreams and make believe She reigns forever With all her glory Unicorns appear in her sight Her fireflies Lead her trough these woods At night In search of the legendary amulet And it's secrets In the big oak There is a door Wich will lead her To the wizard's shore And she'll ask him For the wind to sail her home To the world where she belongs In her world Of dreams and make believe She reigns forever With all her glory In this world Of endless fantasy She makes it happen It's her reality

She embraced, with a smile As she opened the door A cold wind blows, it puts 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 wander through All of my life I gave to you Take my hand as I wander through All of my love I gave to you You have taken away the trust, you're the ghost haunting through her heart

The gates of time have opened Now, it's chains are broken An ancient force unleased again As I enter the portal I feel the enchantment It takes me away, away from here 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 I feel the enchantment The stars above are lying at my feet

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 as you leave the room In my heart youleave no gloom As you lure me I know the truth You're a leprechaun, I see you through

Take away these hands of darkness Reaching for my soul. Now, the cold wind, blows out my candles Feeling, only fear, without any hope A thousand dark moons A thousand winters long A million fallen stars, The candle burns in the womb We try not to forget, they live through us Slowly they die away at every candle's end
