Within Temptation - Faster, faster

I can't see, cause it’s burning deep inside.
Like gasoline, a fire running wild.
No more fear, cause I’m getting closer now.
So unreal, but I like it anyhow.

[PRE-CHORUS:]
I go faster and faster and faster
and faster and faster and faster and faster.

[CHORUS:]
I can’t live in a fairytale of lies.
And I can’t hide from the feeling cause it’s right.
And I go faster and faster and faster and faster for love.
And I can’t live in a fairytale of lies.

I can feel that you’ve mezmerized my heart.
I feel so free.
I’m alive, I’m breaking out.
I won’t give in, cause I’m proud of all my scars.
And I can see I’ve been wasting too much time.

Within Temptation - Wish You Were Here

Wish You Were Here
Me, oh, my country man
Wish You Were Here
I Wish You Were Here
Don't you know, the snow is getting colder
And I miss you like hell
And I'm feeling blue

Wish You Were Here
Me, oh, my country man
Wish You Were Here
I Wish You Were Here
Don't you know, the snow is getting colder
And I miss you like hell
And I'm feeling blue

I've got feelings for you
Do you still feel the same?
From the first time I laid my eyes on you
I felt joy of living
I saw heaven in your eyes
In your eyes

Wish You Were Here
Me, oh, my country man
Wish You Were Here
I Wish You Were Here
Don't you know, the snow is getting colder
And I miss you like hell
And I'm feeling blue

I miss your laugh, I miss your smile
I miss everything about you
Every second's like a minute
Every minute's like a day
When you're far away

The snow is getting colder, baby
I Wish You Were Here
A battlefield of love and fear
And I Wish You Were Here

I've got feelings for you
From the first time I laid my eyes on you

Wish You Were Here
Me, oh, my country man
Wish You Were Here
I Wish You Were Here
Don't you know, the snow is getting colder
And I miss you like hell
And I'm feeling blue

(Wish you were here)
Wish you were here
Wish you were here
(Wish you were here)
I wish you were here

Within Temptation - Pearls of Light

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 in the morning,
the pearls of light.

Carried away by the truculence of my world,
I got lost in the search for enlightenment,
The blue rain,
Covered my roots and I forgot where I came from.

Carried away by the truculence of my world,
I got lost in the search for enlightment,
The blue rain,
Covered my roots and I forgot where I came from.

Within Temptation - Forsaken

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'd turn 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 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 feared inside
Today is the end of tomorrow

As the sea started rising,
The land that we 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.

Within Temptation - Pale

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.
Have to stand up to be stronger.

Have to try to break free
From the thoughts in my mind.
Use the time that I have,
I can't 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 realize
Time is precious, it is worthwhile.
Despite how I feel inside,
Have to trust it'll be all right.
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't 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 all right.

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

Have to try to break free
From the thoughts in my mind.
Use the time that I have,
I can't 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.

Within Temptation - The Heart Of Everything

For 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 their 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

Within Temptation - See Who I Am

Is it true what they say,
Are we too blind to find a way?
Fear of the unknown cloud 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 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,
Let's 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
cause 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,
Let's 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,
Let's show them that we can
Free our minds and find a way.
The world is in our hands,
This is not the end.

I 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,
Let's 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,
Let's show them that we can
Free our minds and
find a way.
The world is in our hands,
this is not the end

Within Temptation - Another Day

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

Within Temptation - Grace

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

Within Temptation - It's The Fear

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,
they won they 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'm 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,
they won they 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 it's rage
but it ends today

It's the fear
Fear of the dark
It's growing inside of me,
they won they will come to life
Have to save
To save my beloved,
there is no escape,
because my fate is horror and doom

Within Temptation - Mother Earth

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 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 their soul lives on
Until the end of time
I'll carry them with me

she rules until the end of time
she gives and she takes
she rules until the end of time
she goes her way

Once you will know my dear
You dont have to fear
A new beginning
Always starts at the end
Once you will know my dear
You dont have to fear ...
Until the end of time x3
She goes her way

she rules until the end of time
she gives and she takes
she rules until the end of time
until the end of time
until the end of time
she goes her way.

Within Temptation - Angels

Sparkling angel I believe
You were my savior 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'd turn into real.
You broke a promise and made me realize.
It was all just a lie.

Sparkling angel, I couldn't see
Your dark intentions, 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'd turn into real.
You broke a 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'd turn into real.
You broke a promise and made me realize.
It was all just a lie.
Could have been forever.
Now we have reached the end.

Within Temptation - Deceiver Of Fools

He feeds on fear
He feeds on pain
He rules again
With growing hate
He will gain
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

Plays with your mind

As faith for the future faded fast
He grows strong with their displeasure
It sets him free

Chorus:
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

Rules your heart

He'll sell your soul to the grave
Without a hesitation to make
He belongs to the dark

(chorus)

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

(chorus)

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
Oh fear him

Deceiver of hearts
Deceiver of fools
He rules with fear
Deceiver of hopes
Deceiver of fools
Shall he rule again?

Within Temptation - Aquarius

I hear your whispers
break the silence and it calms me down.
A 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.

Chorus:
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.
I 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.

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.

Within Temptation - Gatekeeper

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 lifes 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 tail
He stepped through the portal,
locked the door and ate the key
With his life they took their way to freedom,
and he became the final keeper of the key

Within Temptation - The Silent Force - Intro

Within Temptation - Running Up That Hill

It doesn't hurt me
Do you wanna feel how it feels?
Do you wanna know that it doesn't hurt me?
Do you wanna hear about the deal that I'm making?
It's you and me, yeah

And if I only could
Make a deal with God
And let him swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
Be running up that building
So if I only could

Don't wanna hurt me
But see how deep the bullet lies
Unaware I'm tearing you asunder
Oh, there is thunder in our hearts

Is there so much hate for the ones we love?
Oh tell me we both matter, don't we?
It's you and me that won't be unhappy

And if I only could
Make a deal with God
And let him swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
Be running up that building

And if I only could
Make a deal with God
And let him swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
With no problems

C'mon baby, c'mon c'mon darling
Let me steal this moment from you now
C'mon angel, c'mon, c'mon darling
Let's exchange the experience

And if I only could
Make a deal with God
And let him swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
Be running up that building

So if I only could
Make a deal with God
And let him swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
With no problems...

Within Temptation - Dark Wings

Why was I one of the chosen ones?
Into 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
Gave us the strength we needed

Dark wings they are descending
See shadows gathering around
One by one they are falling
Every time they try to strike us

Dark wings they are descending
See shadows gathering around
One by one they are falling
Every time they try to strike us down

Within Temptation - Jillian

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 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, 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.
Jillian, no more tears
Jillian, no more tears

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.

Within Temptation - Perfect Harmony

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
