Cover art for The Cross lyrics by Within Temptation

A few small corrections: the first line is: Nothing’s ever changed, you still turn away And: 'If my heart is too hold/cold, can we open the door? Can we ever find it all and save my heart?' should be "In my heart I still hope you will open the door, You can purify it all, answer my call" This is according to the WT official site.

This is probably the most emotional song on the album, or perhaps any WT song. Bitterness, anger, betrayal, love, dispair. Not sure what it really means, she has had a tramatic experience on her life that her mate either denies altogether, or blames on her, even though perhaps he might be to blame? Regardless he isn't giving her the love and comfort she needs which is causing her even more pain. (Maybe a rape victim, who's mate now has trouble being intimate her; I've heard of that happening) Or she has done something she regrets and has carried the guilt for a long time, but he won't forgive her even though they've stayed together? The "ah, ah, ah, ahhhh" kind of creeped me out and annoyed me at first, I almost didn't give this song a chance, but I did and it grew on me quickly.

That is a good idea, but if you watch the Black Symphony DVD you see a girl cutting her wrist with a big handled dagger. Perhaps that could have something else to do with what happened to her, but I think that in there she's trying to tell him to help her, but he won't because he just doesn't want to deal with her problems.
