Within Temptation - Stand My Ground

I'm searching for answers
'Cause something is not right
I follow the signs,
I'm close to the fire

I fear that soon you'll reveal
Your dangerous mind

It's in your eyes, what's on your mind
I fear your smile and the promise inside
It's in your eyes, what's on your mind
I fear your presence, I'm frozen inside

I'm searching for answers
Not questioned before
The curse of awareness,
There's no peace of mind
As your true colours show
A dangerous sign

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

I just have know, while I still have time
Do I have to run, or hide away from you?

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

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

Sparkling angel I believed
You were my saviour 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 wish they would turn into real
You broke the 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 would turn into real
You broke the 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 would turn into real
You broke the promise and made me realize
It was all just a lie
Could have been forever
Now we have reached the end

I hear your whispers
Break the silence and it calms me down
Your 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

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

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 would turn back the tide, 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'd 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,
We're the last of our kind

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 come
The day has come
The day has come

It waits for the day I will let it out
To give it a reason, to give 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,
That one day will come to life
Have to save
To save my beloved,
There is no escape,
Because my faith 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 am losing all beauty within
I can no longer restrain it,
My strength is fading
I have to give in

It's the fear
Fear of the dark
It's growing inside of me,
That one day will come to life
Have to save
To save my beloved,
There is no escape,
Because my faith is horror and doom

Long ago it came to me
And ever since that day,
Infected with its rage
But it ends today

It's the fear
Fear of the dark
It's growing inside of me,
That one day will come to life
Have to save
To save my beloved,
There is no escape,
Because my faith is horror and doom

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 trough 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

All of my memories...

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
I have 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 alright

I know, should realise
Time is precious, it is worthwhile
Despite how I feel inside,
Have to trust it will be alright
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 alright

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

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

Is it true what they say,
Are we too blind to find a way?
Fear of the unknown clouds our hearts today
Come into my world,
See trough 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 whithering the soul
At the point of no return
We must be the change
We wish to see

I'll come into your world,
See trough your eyes
I'll try to understand,
Before we lose what we have

We just can't stop believing
Because 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 their 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

Lost in the darkness, hoping for a sign
Instead there is only silence,
Can't you hear my screams?
Never stop hoping,
Need to know where you are,
But one thing is for sure,
You're always in my heart

I'll find you somewhere
I'll keep on trying until my dying day
I just need to know whatever happened,
The truth will free my soul

Lost in the darkness, try to find your way home
I want to embrace you and never let you go
Almost hope you're in heaven so no one can hurt your soul
Living in agony cause I just do not know
Where you are

I'll find you somewhere
I'll keep on trying until my dying day
I just need to know whatever happened,
The truth will free my soul

Wherever you are, I won't stop searching
Whatever it takes, I need to know

I'll find you somewhere
I'll keep on trying until my dying day
I just need to know whatever happened,
The truth will free my soul

I can see
When you stay low nothing happens
Doesn’t feel right
Late at night
Things I though I’d put behind me
On my mind

I just know there’s no escape now
Once it sets its eyes on you
But I won’t have to stare it in the eye

Stand my ground I won’t give in
No more denying
I gotta face it
Or 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
Cannot 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

Stand my ground I won’t give in
No more denying
I gotta face it
Or close my eyes
And hide the truth inside
If I don’t make it
Someone else will
Stand my ground

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 in)
I won’t give up (I won’t give up)
No more denying
I gotta face it
Or 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 gotta face it
Or close my eyes
And hide the truth inside
If I don’t make it
Someone else will
Stand my ground

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
