Within Temptation – Destroyed Lyrics 15 years ago
One of the things I love most about WT are their magnificent lyrics. =D

This song means so much to me (Well, actually many of their songs mean a lot to me - it's as if they were writing right from my own heart.). It reminds me of my parents, me coming out to them and everything that followed. :-/

I heard the same as nikole115. Plus, there's an older version of the song in which the lyrics are "And there's no FREAKS allowed in". How incredibly sad. :-(

Tarja Turunen – The Seer Lyrics 17 years ago
The lyrics above are wrong to a big part. Those are the right lyrics:

I cut my heart, a gift to you
You leave salt in my wound
You are inside my wall of thoughts
But in yours I'm unknown

My desperation finds a book of heroes gone
Legends tell about a saviour wise and strong
I'm burning at the stake of love, the flames get tall
And in my anguish he's the last resort to call

And suddenly, my seer is on my side
Bringing love while forgetting his pride
In his eyes I see there'll be better times along my way

Nothing to fear
Nothing to fear

Why is it called Elysian Fields
When love builds only grief
All your agony and pain
Stays the same till you see

That destination shows you legends long extinct
Rumours are told about a hero kind and skilled
I'm burning at love's stake and that's the end I feel

But suddenly my seer is on my side
Bringing love while forgetting his pride
In his eyes I see there'll be better times along my way

As he longs to speak to me
I realise the reflection while listening
His words mend all my wounds, cause he is me
My seer lives inside of me

When suddenly, my seer is on my side
Bringing love while forgetting his pride
In his eyes I see there'll be better times along my way

Nothing to fear
My seer is near
There's nothing to fear
My seer is near
My seer is near

Nightwish – The Poet And The Pendulum Lyrics 17 years ago
This song is just so f.r.a.c.k.i.n.g. beautiful. And yes... it is indeed also related to "The Pit and the Pendulum" by Edgar Allan Poe. You should read that... it's really good.

Within Temptation – The Truth Beneath The Rose Lyrics 18 years ago
There are a few mistakes in the above lyrics. Where the hell do you guys get them from? Buy the CD and you'll have the right lyrics and put them then in here!! I hate if someone puts in here wrong lyrics. Here are the right ones (out of the booklet):

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
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

Blinded to see the cruelty of the beast
It is the darker side of me
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 our 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
The veil of my dreams deceived all I have seen
Forgive me for what I have been
Forgive me my sins

I escaped my final moment
But it’s turning back at me
On every corner I can feel it waiting
Just a moment, no awareness
I could easily slip away
And then I’ll be gone forever
I’m searching,
I’m fighting for a way to get through
To turn it away

It’s waiting, always trying
I feel the hands of fate, they’re suffocating
Tell me what’s the reason
Is it all inside my head
Can’t take it no more!

All around me I see danger
And it’s closing in on me
Every second I can hear it breathing
I can’t stand the fear inside me
Cause it’s leading me astray
And it will be my ending
I’m searching
I’m fighting for a way to get through
To turn it away

It’s waiting, always trying
I feel the hands of fate, they’re suffocating
Tell me what’s the reason
Is it all inside my head
Can’t take it no more!

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

Within Temptation – Hand Of Sorrow Lyrics 18 years ago
The above lyrics have a few mistakes. Where the hell do you guys get them from? Buy the CD and you'll have the right lyrics and put them then in here!! I hate if someone puts in here wrong lyrics. Here are the right ones (out of the booklet):

The child without a name grew up to be the hand
To watch you, to shield you or kill on demand
The choice he’d made he could not comprehend
His blood a grim secret they had to command
He’s torn between his honor and the true love of his life
He prayed for both but was denied

So many dreams were broken and so much was sacrificed
Was it worth the ones we loved and had to leave behind?
So many years have past, who are the noble and the wise?
Will all our sins be justified?

The curse of his powers tormented his life
Obeying the crown was a sinister price
His soul was tortured by love and by pain
He surely would flee but the oath made him stay
He’s torn between his honor and the true love of his life
He prayed for both but was denied

So many dreams were broken and so much was sacrificed
Was it worth the ones we loved and had to leave behind?
So many years have past, who are the noble and the wise?
Will all our sins be justified?

Please forgive me for the sorrow, for leaving you in fear
For the dreams we had to silence, that’s all they’ll ever be
Still I’ll be the hand that serves you
Though you’ll not see that it is me

So many dreams were broken and so much was sacrificed
Was it worth the ones we loved and had to leave behind?
So many years have past, who are the noble and the wise?
Will all our sins be justified?

And again the above lyrics are full of mistakes. Where the hell do you guys get them from? Buy the CD and you'll have the right lyrics and put them then in here!! I hate if someone puts in here wrond lyrics. Here are the right ones (out of the booklet):

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

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

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!

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

Within Temptation – Our Solemn Hour Lyrics 18 years ago
These lyrics above are shit!!! Here's the right version (out of the booklet).

Sanctus espiritus redeem us from our solemn hour
Sanctus espiritus insanity is all around us
Sanctus espiritus! Sanctus espiritus! Sanctus espiritus!

In my darkest hours I could not foresee
that the tide could turn so fast to this degree
Can't believe my eyes
How can you be so blind?
Is the heart of stone, no empathy inside?
Time keeps on slipping away and we haven't learned
So in the end now what have we gained?

Sanctus espiritus, redeem us from our solemn hour
Sanctus espiritus, insanity is all around us
Sanctus espiritus, is this what we deserve,
can we brake free from chains of never-ending agony?

Are they themselve's to blame, the misery, the pain?
Didn't we let go, allowed it, let it grow?
If we can't restrain the beast which dwells inside
it will find it's way somehow, somewhere in time
Will we remember all of the suffering
Cause if we fail it will be in vain

Sanctus espiritus, redeem us from our solemn hour
Sanctus espiritus, insanity is all around us
Sanctus espiritus, is this what we deserve,
can we brake free from chains of never-ending agony?

Sanctus espiritus, Sanctus espiritus

Within Temptation – The Howling Lyrics 18 years ago
There are a few mistakes in the lyrics above. Here are the right ones (out of the booklet):

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...

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...

Within Temptation – Say My Name Lyrics 19 years ago
"So I will know you're back you're here again"

"Tell me about
The days before I was born
How we were as children"

"You're not aware
Your hands keep still
You just don't know that I am here"

"I pray now that soon you're released"

I think it's about a daughter or a son whose mother or father is already old and in a verry bad condition or had an accident and now are in coma (I don't now if this is the correct word; please correct me if I'm wrong). I think my coma-theory fits best.

Within Temptation – Stand My Ground Lyrics 19 years ago
I've found an interview with Sharon on the www. It's a german interview and unfotunately for those who don't understand german, I'm too lazy right now to translate the whole text now.
That's the interview:

"Dieser Song handelt davon, sich seinen Ängsten oder einem Übeltäter zu stellen, egal welche Konsequenzen sich daraus ergeben", erläutert die Sängerin. "Selbst wenn dieser Widerstand tödlich endet, war er nicht umsonst, denn jemand anderes wird sich dann erheben und aufbegehren." Wer sich jetzt an Gandhis Konzept des zivilen Ungehorsams erinnert fühlt, liegt wohl kaum falsch. "Tatsächlich ist `Stand My Ground´ ein sehr politisches Lied", bestätigt Sharon. "Wir sehen doch alle die Folgen des amerikanischen Angriffs auf den Irak. Natürlich war Saddam ein Arschloch, doch dies rechtfertigt es nicht, mit vorgeschobenen Gründen in ein anderes Land einzumarschieren und dabei die UNO zu beschädigen. In den Niederlanden besteht eine klare Mehrheit gegen diesen Einsatz, aber unsere Regierung beteiligt sich trotzdem daran. Es gibt eine Menge Proteste und genau darum geht es bei `Stand My Ground´: Wenn etwas falsch ist, erhebt euch und macht den Mund auf. Wer nichts gegen ein Unrecht unternimmt, macht sich selbst schuldig." Ein Satz, der nicht nur jedem Leser von Erich Kästners "Das fliegende Klassenzimmer" bekannt vorkommen sollte.

Ok, summed up: It's about that you have to stand up to your fears and to wrongs, no matter what the consequences are. Even if this resistance ends deadly it wasn't in vain because then someone else will stand up and lead that further. Further Sharon says, that this is a quite political song and talks about the US's Irak-invasion. And she says what Stand my Ground is simply about, is, if something's wrong you should stand up and make yourself heard. If you don't do something about injustice, you also make yourself guilty.

That's what she said.

Within Temptation – Deceiver Of Fools Lyrics 19 years ago
"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

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
Fear him

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

This is one of the most beautyful lyrics i've ever read. and i would say that above lines say everything. it says that we shouldn't just follow blindly the "opinions" of the majority, but that we should remember who we are and what is relly important.
