Within Temptation

All my agony fades away
when you hold me in your embrace.

The memories ease the pain inside,
Now I know why.

All of my memories keep you near.
In silent moments imagine you here.
All of my memories keep you near.
Your silent whispers, silent tears

Stand my ground, I won't give in
no more denying, I 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 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.

When lies turn into truth
I sacrifice for you
You say that I am frozen
But what can I do?

If we can’t restrain the beast which dwells inside
It will find it’s way somehow, somewhere in time.

Everything will slip away
Shattered pieces will remain
When memories fade into emptiness
Only time will tell its tale
If it all has been in vain

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.

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 better be aware.
Her plums and flowers
They're never the same
Blue and silver,
It's all her game.
Flying dragons
And enchanted woods,
She decides, she creates
It's her reality.

Forests and deserts
Rivers, blue seas
Mountains and valleys
Nothing here stays
While we think we witness
We are 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 is also a part
A part of the tale.
We're part of a story, part of a tale
Sometimes beautiful
And sometimes insane
No one remembers
How it began.

You can't live without the fire,
It's the heat that makes you strong,
'Cause you're born to live and fight it all away!
You can't hide what lies inside you,
It's the only thing you've known!
You'll embrace it and never walk away,
Don't walk away!

Covered by roses
When this dance is over
We all know our beauty will die.
The choirs have awoken
Left no words unspoken
Remember you as long as I can

It's in your eyes, what's on your mind.
I see the truth that you've buried inside
It's in your eyes, what's on your mind.
There is no mercy, just anger I find.

The darkness has come to the roses.
The fire is reaching the end.
The colors 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
