Within Temptation

WITHIN TEMPTATION STAND MY GROUND


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 there’s no escape now
Once it sets its 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’ve got to face it.
Won’t close my eyes and hide the truth inside.
If I don’t make it.
Someone else will stand my ground.

It’s all around, getting stronger,
Coming 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,
There’s no turning back from here.



All I know for sure is I’m trying.
I will always stand my ground.

Stand my ground, I won’t give in.
I won’t give up, no more denying.
I’ve got to face it.
Won’t close my eyes and hide the truth inside.
If I don’t make it,
Someone else will stand my ground.
I won’t give in, no more denying.
I’ve got to face it.
Won’t close my eyes and hide the truth inside.
If I don’t make it, someone else will stand my ground.

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

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 believe 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

Whenever she is raging
She takes all life away
Haven't you seen?
Haven't you seen?
The ruins of our world

WT - Running up the hill 2004


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

And if I only could,
I'd make a deal with God,
And let him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
Be running up that building.
So if I only could...

You don't want to 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, it's you and me.
It's you and me won't be unhappy.

And if I only could,
I'd make a deal with God,
And let him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
Be running up that building,
Say, if I only could, oh...

You,
It's you and me,
It's you and me won't be unhappy.

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

And if I only could,
I'd make a deal with God,
And let him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
With no problems.

And if I only could,
I'd make a deal with God,
And let him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
With no problems.

And if I only could,
I'd make a deal with God,
And let him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
With no problems.

If I only could
Be running up that hill
With no problems...

WT - Memories 2005


In this world you tried
Not leaving me alone behind
There's no other way
I'll pray to the gods: let him stay

The memories ease the pain inside
Now I know why

[Chorus:]
All of my memories
Keep you near
In silent moments
Imagine you'd be here
All of my memories
Keep you near
The silent whispers, silent tears

Made me promise I'd try
To find my way back in this life
I hope there is away
To give me a sign you're okay
Reminds me again
It's worth it all
So I can go home

[Chorus]

Together in all these memories
I see your smile
All the memories I hold dear
Darling you know I love you till the end of time

[Chorus]

WT - Angels 2005


Within Temptation - Angels
Cargado por shizuruvde. - Explorar otros videos musicales.

Sparkling angel
I believe
You are my saviour
In my time of need

Blinded by faith
I couldn't hear
All the whispers
The warning's so clear

I see the angels
I'll lead them to your door
There is no escape now
Now mercy no more

No remorse 'cause I still remember
The smile when you tore me apart

[Chorus:]
You took my heart
Deceived me right from the start
You showed me dreams
I wished they'd turn to real
You broke the promise
And made me realise
It was all just a lie

Sparkling angel
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 is no escape now
No mercy no more

No remorse 'cause I still remember
The smile when you tore me apart

[Chorus]

Could have been forever
Now we have reached the end

This world may have failed you
It doesn't give the reason why
You could have chosen
A different path of life

The smile when you tore me apart

[Chorus:]
You took my heart
Deceived me right from the start
You showed me dreams
I wished they'd turn in to real
You broke a promise
And made me realise
It was all just a lie

Could have been forever
Now we have reached the end

WT - What have you done ft Keith Caputo 2007



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'd better stop trying
You know that there's no denying
I won't show mercy on you now
I know, should stop believing
I know, there's no retrieving
It's over now, what have you done?

What have you done now?!

I, I've been waiting for someone like you
But now you are slipping away... oh
Why, why does fate make us suffer?
There's a curse between us, between me and you

What have you done?! What have you done?!
What have you done?! What have you done?!
What have you done now?!
What have you done?! What have you done?!
What have you done?! What have you done?!
What have you done now?!

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, I've been waiting for someone like you
But now you are slipping away... oh
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?! What have you done?!
What have you done?! What have you done?!
What have you done now?!
What have you done?! What have you done?!
What have you done?! What have you done?!
What have you done now?!
What have you done now, what have you done?...

I will not fall, won't let it go
We will be free when it ends

I, I've been waiting for someone like you
But now you are slipping away... oh
What have you done now?!
Why, why does fate make us suffer?
There's a curse between us, between me and you

I, I've been waiting for someone like you
But now you are slipping away... oh
What have you done now?!
Why, why does fate make us suffer
There's a curse between us, between me and you

WT - Frozen 2007


Within Temptation - Frozen

I can't feel my senses
I just feel the cold
All colors seem to fade away
I can't reach my soul
I would stop running, if 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 but what can I do?
Can't tell the reasons I did it for you
When lies turn into truth I sacrificed for you
You say that I'm frozen but what can I do?

I can feel your sorrow
You won't forgive me,
but I know you'll be all right
It tears me apart that you will never know but I have to let go

Tell me I'm frozen but what can I do?
Can't tell the reasons I did it for you
When lies turn into truth I sacrificed for you
You say that I'm frozen but what can I do?

Everything will slip way
Shattered peaces 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...
But what can I do?
Frozen...

Tell me I'm frozen but what can I do?
Can't tell the reasons I did it for you
When lies turn into truth I sacrificed for you
You say that I'm frozen, frozen...

WT - The howling 2007



We've been seeing what you wanted, got us cornered right now
Fallen asleep from our vanity, might cost us our lives
I hear they're getting closer
Their howls are sending chills down my spine
And 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

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 all night long 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
And 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

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
And 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 ending of what we've 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

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...

WT - All I need 2007



I'm dying to catch my breath
Oh why don't I ever learn?
I've lost all my trust,
though I've surely tried 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 tear 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 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
Make my heart a better place

WT - Forgiven 2008 ( Black symphony concert )


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

Oh, for so long I've tried to shield you from the world
Oh, 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's forgiven
You'll always be mine
I know deep inside
All that's done's 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

Oh, for so long I've tried to shield you from the world
Oh, you couldn't face the freedom on your own
And here I am left in silence

You gave up the fight
You left me behind
All that's done's forgiven
You'll always be mine
I know deep inside
All that's done's 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's forgiven
You'll always be mine
I know deep inside
All that's done's forgiven

WT - Utopia ft Chris Jones 2009

Within temptation-Untopia from Sheila Chan on Vimeo.

The burning desire
To live and roam free
It shines in the dark
And it grows within me

You're holding my hand but you don't understand
So where I am going, you wont be in the end
I'm dreaming in colors
Of getting the chance
Of dreaming of trying the perfect romance

The search of the door, to open your mind
In search of the cure of mankind
Help us were drowning
So close up inside
Why does it rain, rain, rain down on utopia?
Why does it have to kill the ideal of who we are?
Why does it rain, rain, rain down on utopia?
How will the lights die down, telling us who we are?

I'm searching for Answers, not given for free
Your hurting inside, is there life within me?

You're holding my hand but you don't understand
So you're taking the road all alone in the end
I'm dreaming in colors, no boundaries are there

I'm dreaming the dream, and I'll sing to share
In search of the door, to open your mind
In search of the cure of mankind
Help us were drowning
So close up inside
Why does it rain, rain, rain down on utopia
Why does it have to kill the ideal of who we are?
Why does it rain, rain, rain, down on utopia?
And when the lights die down, telling us who we are

Why does it rain, rain, rain down on utopia
Why does it have to kill the ideal of who we are?
Why does it rain, rain, rain down on utopia
And when the lights die down, telling us who we are
Why does it rain?

WT - Where is the edge 2010


In the shadows it awakes the desire
But you know that you can't realize
And the pressure will just keep rising
Now the heat is on

It's too late, there is no way around it
You will see for yourself many times
In the end you will give up the fight
It's unescapable

'Cause you're losing your mind and you sleep
In the heart of the lies

Where is the edge
Of your darkest emotions?
Why does it all survive?
Where is the light
Of your deepest devotions?
I pray that it's still alive

It's the rule that you live by and die for
It's the one thing you can't deny
Even though you don't know what the price is
It is justified

So much more that you've got left to fight for
But it still doesn't change who you are
There is no fear you'll ever give in to
You're untouchable

'Cause you're losing your mind and you sleep
In the heart of the night

Where is the edge
Of your darkest emotions?
Why does it all survive?
Where is the light
Of your deepest devotions?
I pray that it's still alive

You can't stop yourself
Don't want to feel
Don't want to see what you've become

You can't walk away
From who you are
Never give in

Where is the edge
Of your darkest emotions?
Why does it all survive?
Where is the light
Of your deepest devotions?
I pray that it's still alive

Faster



I can't sleep, 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

I go faster and faster and faster and
Faster and faster and faster and faster

I can't live in a fairytale of lies
I can't hide from the fear cause it's right
I go faster and faster and faster and faster for life
I can't live in a fairytale of lies

I can feel that you mesmorise 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

I go faster and faster and faster and
Faster and faster and faster and faster

I can't live in a fairytale of lies
I can't hide from the fear cause it's right
I go faster and faster and faster and faster for life
I can't live in a fairytale of lies

And I can't live in a fairytale of lies
And I can't hide from the fear cause it's right
I go faster and faster and faster and faster for life
I can't live in a fairytale of lies

A fairytale of lies

Shot in the dark



i've been left out alone like a damn criminal
i've been praying for help cause i can't take it all
i'm not done,
it's not over.

now i'm fighting this war since the day of the fall
and i'm desperately holding on to it all
but i'm lost
i'm so damn lost

oh i wish it was over,
and i wish you were here
still i'm hoping that somehow

cause your soul is on fire
a shot in the dark
what did they aim for when they missed your heart?

i breathe underwater
it's all in my hands
what can i do
don't let it fall apart
a shot in the dark

in the blink of an eye
i can see through your eyes
as i'm lying awake i'm still hearing the cries
and it hurts
hurts me so bad

and i'm wondering why i still fight in this life
cause i've lost all my faith in this damn bitter strife
and it's sad
it's so damn sad

oh i wish it was over,
and i wish you were here
still i'm hoping that somehow

cause your soul is on fire
a shot in the dark
what did they aim for when they missed your heart?

i breathe underwater
it's all in my hands
what can i do
don't let it fall apart
a shot in the dark

a shot in the dark
a shot in the dark
a shot in the dark

a shot in the dark

i feel you are fading away
i feel you are fading away
i feel you are fading away
i feel you are fading away

cause your soul is on fire
a shot in the dark
what did they aim for when they missed your heart?

i breathe underwater
it's all in my hands
what can i do
don't let it fall apart
oh, your soul is on fire
a shot in the dark
what did they aim for when they missed your heart?

i breathe underwater
it's all in my hands
what can i do
don't let it fall apart
a shot in the dark

a shot in the dark
a shot in the dark
a shot in the dark

a shot in the dark

Sinéad




I've gotta try
It's not over yet
No signals of love
Have you left
My heart is bleeding just for you
Bleeds for only you


And it hurts to know the truth


Are you looking for saviour
Chasing a dream
Love turned to hate


Now I'm crossing the border
Sealing our fate
But I'm not afraid


Oh Sinéad,
For the first time
Life is gonna turn around
I'm telling you
You will like it, I know


Oh Sinéad,
It's the first time
Only you can set it free
Oh Sinéad
Come break away with me


This second chance I know won't last
But it's OK
Got not regrets
And I, I feel the end here
I'm no fool
Getting closer


But I'm doing what I should
I been drowning in sorrow
Chasing tomorrow,
Running away


Now you're crossing the border
Sealing tomorrow
But you're not afraid


Oh Sinéad,
For the first time
Life is gonna turn around
I'm telling you
You will like it, I know


Oh Sinéad,
It's the first time
Only you can set it free
Oh Sinéad
Come break away with me


But I'm doing what I should
I've been drowning in sorrow
Chasing tomorrow,
Running away


Now you're crossing the border
Sealing tomorrow
But you're not afraid


Oh Sinéad,
For the first time
Life is gonna turn around
I'm telling you
You will like it


Oh Sinéad,
For the first time
Love is gonna turn around
I'm telling you
You will like it, I know


Oh Sinéad,
It's the first time
Only you can set it free
Oh Sinéad
Come break away with me.
