Within Temptation - World Of Make Believe Lyrics

World Of Make Believe Lyrics - Within Temptation

On golden wings
She flies at night
With her dress
It's blinding white
Countless diamonds
And her long blonde hair
The queen is coming
So you better be aware
Her plums 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
The fireflies lead her trough these woods at night
In search of the legendary amulet
And it's secret
In the big oak there is a door
Which will lead her
To the wizard 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

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

Within Temptation - Why Not Me Lyrics

Why Not Me Lyrics - Within Temptation

Though some may call it a curse
A life like mine
But others a blessing...

It's certianly a lonely life
But a fullfilling one at best
It's my cross to bear and
I bear it gladly...

Someone must take a stand against evil
Why should it not be me?

Within Temptation - Where Is The Edge_ Lyrics

Where Is The Edge? Lyrics - Within Temptation

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

Within Temptation - What You Have Done Lyrics

What You Have Done Lyrics - Within Temptation

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 wont 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
Why, why does fate make us suffer?
There's a curse between us,
Between me and you

What have you done! (x4)
What have you done now!
What have you done! (x4)
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 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?

What have you done! (x4)
What have you done now!
What have you done! (x4)
What have you done now!
What have you done now,

What have you done
(What have you done... ? )

I will not fall,
Wont 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
(What have you done now! )
Why, why does fate make us suffer
There's a curse between us,
Between me and you

Within Temptation - Utopia Lyrics

Utopia Lyrics - Within Temptation

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?

The Turn Against
The World We Know
Now Our Destiny
Will Be Decided
We Have To Send Our Brothers In Arms
With Pain In Our Heart
We Watched Them Go

Truth Is We Had No Choice
We'll Try To Shield Those We Can
No Better World
Let This End
Mothers Cry
Our Boys Die
But We'll Stand 'Till The End

Within Temptation - The Truth Beneath The Rose Lyrics

The Truth Beneath The Rose Lyrics - Within Temptation

Give me strength to face the truth
The doubt within my soul
No longer I can justify
The bloodshed in his name

Is it a sin to seek the truth, the truth beneath the rose?
Pray with me so I will find the gate to Heaven's door
I believed it would justify the means
It had a hold over me

Blinded to see
The cruelty of the beast
It is the darker side of me
(Forgive me my sins)

The veil of my dreams
Deceived all I have seen
Forgive me for what I have been
(Forgive me my sins)

Pray for me 'cause I have lost my faith in holy wars
Is paradise denied to me 'cause I can't take no more

Has darkness taken over me
Consumed my mortal soul?
All my virtues sacrificed
Can Heaven be so cruel?

I believed it would justify the means
It had a hold over me
(Forgive me my sins)

Blinded to see
The cruelty of the beast
It is the darker side of me
(Forgive me my sins)

The veil of my dreams
Deceived all I have seen
Forgive me for what I have been
(Forgive me my sins)

I'm hoping, I'm praying
I won't get lost between two worlds
For all I have seen
The truth lies in between

Give me the strength to face the wrong that I have done
Now that I know
The darkest side of me

How can blood be your salvation
And justify the pain
That we have caused throughout the times

Will I learn what's truly sacred
Will I redeem my soul
Will truth set me free

Blinded to see
The cruelty of the beast
It is the darker side of me
(Forgive me my sins)

The veil of my dreams
Deceived all I have seen
Forgive me for what I have been
(Forgive me my sins)

Within Temptation - The Swan Song Lyrics

The Swan Song Lyrics - Within Temptation

Winter has come for me, can't carry on.
The chains to my life are strong but soon they'll be gone.
I'll spread my wings one more time.

Is it a dream?
All the ones I have loved calling out my name.
The sun warms my face.
All the days of my life, I see them passing me by.

In my heart I know I can let go.
In the end I will find some peace inside.
New wings are growing tonight.

Is it a dream?
All the ones I have loved calling out my name.
The sun warms my face.
All the days of my life, I see them passing me by.

As I am soaring I'm one with the wind.
I am longing to see you again, it's been so long.
We will be together again.

Is it a dream?
All the ones I have loved calling out my name.
The sun warms my face.
All the days of my life, I see them passing me by.

Within Temptation - The Promise Lyrics

The Promise Lyrics - Within Temptation

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
But,you slipped away
You promised to return to me
And 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

I held you tight to me
But,you slipped away
You promised to return to me
And I believed

I held you tight to me
´But,you slipped away
You promised to return to me
And I believed

Within Temptation - The Other Half (Of Me) Lyrics

The Other Half (Of Me) Lyrics - Within Temptation

Over the hills, lies a new beginning
Over the hills
Over the hills, there is a way I know it
Over the hills

You can't bring all the gloom (voices)
Your heart is frayed and so empty
You glorify the future (voices)
Living in a different world than me
The journey ends in death (voices)
You are giving up so easily
You are the other half of me (voices + sharon)

Over the hills (4x)

We are drifting apart (voices)
Chilled to the marrow, cause you don't want to go
Cause we've got a different wish at heart (voices)
The amulet guides us to the other side
When I go down it's you who'll bleed (voices)
I'm not scared to die, as long as I'm with you
You are the other half of me (voices + sharon)

Over the hills, lies a new beginning
Over the hills
Over the hills, there is a way I know it
Over the hills

Within Temptation - The Last Time (Demo Version) Lyrics

The Last Time (Demo Version) Lyrics - Within Temptation

For so long I've tried.
Could not close my eyes.
When you became a outcast in this life.

Again and again I try
to understand the demons inside your head,
but the truth is you love them to death.

Now, I know it's the last time I have tried
to lift you up to make you fight.
Nothing is ever easy in life.
I can't change it if you don't have the will deep inside.

I have been blind to how you justify
everything that you've wasted in this life.

Got lost in the illusion,
I'd find a solution for the demons in your head,
but the truth is you love them to death.

Now, I know it's the last time I have tried
to lift you up to make you fight.
Nothing is ever easy in life.
I can't change it if you don't have the will deep inside.

You can blame and you can hide
behind what is wrong and what is right.
Life is the choices we make
I hope you'll awake before it's too late.

Now, I know it's the last time I have tried
to lift you up to make you fight.
Nothing is ever easy in life.
I can't change it if you don't have the will deep inside.

Within Temptation - The Howling Lyrics

The Howling Lyrics - Within Temptation

We've been seeing what you want,
You've got us cornered right now
Falling asleep from our vanity
May cost us our lives

I hear them getting closer
Their howls are sending chills down my spine
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 night that we've created
I wanna be awakened somehow
(I wanna be awakened right now)

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 on and on
But there's no trace to be found
It's like they all have just vanished
But I know they're around

I feel them getting closer
The howls are sending chills down my spine
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 night that we've created
I wanna be awakened somehow
(I wanna be awakened right now)


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 them getting closer
The howls are sending chills down my spine
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 night that we've created
I wanna be awakened somehow
(I wanna be awakened right now)

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!

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 is all coming down right now
From the night we've created
I wanna be awakened somehow
(I want to be awakened somehow)
When we start killing.
When we start killing!

Within Temptation - The Heart Of Everything Lyrics

The Heart Of Everything Lyrics - Within Temptation

The Heart Of Everything

Nor 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 - The Dance Lyrics

The Dance Lyrics - Within Temptation

Someone is dancing on my grave
Sending shivers down my spine.
I hear a laugh, it awoke my soul
The wind takes the leaves where he
Wants them to go
His tunes enchant our world,
Our thoughts and leave us frozen

In this heart of mine
It's you I find
Take my hand
I'll take you to the promised land
You're the one

I hear a laugh, it awoke my soul
The wind takes the leaves where he
Wants them to go
His tunes enchant our world,
Our thoughts and leave us frozen

In this heart of mine
It's you I find
Take my hand
I'll take you to the promised land
You're the one

Nevil, whatever you have done, these tears
Will fade
Nevil, wherever you have gone,
Please have faith

Within Temptation - The Cross Lyrics

The Cross Lyrics - Within Temptation

Nothing's ever changed, you still turn away
You've washed your hands, you've made that all too clear
You just keep on living this lie

You refuse to see, you're denying me
The cross I bear but you don't seem to care
Even Judas knew he had lied

I keep wondering why
I'm still calling your name through my tears

Why have you waited to embrace me my dear?
Cold is your silence, denying what is real
I'm still wondering why
I'm still calling your name my dear

I'm sorry if you can't stand the naked truth
All you see is how you want it to be
So you keep on living your life

Release me from this cross after all these years
Oh call my name and help me with this weight
Even though it comes far too late

I keep wondering why
I'm still calling your name through my tears

Why have you waited to embrace me my dear
Cold is your silence, denying what is real
I'm still wondering why I'm still calling your name
And I wonder, Oh I wonder ...

In my heart I still hope you will open the door
You can purify it all, answer my call

Why? Why?

Why have you waited to embrace me my dear?
Cold is your silence, denying what is real
I'm still wondering why I'm still calling your name
And I wonder, Oh I wonder ...

In my heart I still hope you will open the door
You can purify it all, answer my call
