Within Temptation

Hello fellow human beings! I just discovered a new band called Within Temptation. I first heard of them online, but I thought nothing of it. Then the other day I saw their most recent album in Best Buy. So, I looked them up on iTunes and they are amazing. It's a sort of mix between Evanescence and Nightwish. The Dutch sextet has four full-length studio albums and one of their EP albums was limited edition and sold only at Hot Topic stores. All proceeds from their single Frozen are donated to Child Helpline International. They have gret music that have rock, metal and symphonic elements. Ireally like them and invite you all to listen to the only songs I have of them due to a dwindiling iTunes allowance >.<

Our Solemn Hour-listen

Our Solemn Hour- Within Temptation

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 break free from chains of never-ending agony?

Are they themselves 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 break free from chains of never-ending agony?


All I Need

All I Need- Within Temptation

I´m dying to catch my breath
Oh why don´t I ever learn?
I´ve lost all my trust,
though I´ve surely tried to turn it around

Can you still see the heart of me?
All my agony fades away
when you hold me in your embrace

Don´t tear me down for all I need
Make my heart a better place
Give me something I can believe
Don´t tear me down
You´ve opened the door now, don´t let it close

I´m here on the edge again
I wish I could let it go
I know that I´m only one step away
from turning it around

Can you still see the heart of me?
All my agony fades away
when you hold me in your embrace

Don´t tear me down for all I need
Make my heart a better place
Give me something I can believe

Don´t tear it down, what´s left of me
Make my heart a better place

I tried many times but nothing was real
Make it fade away, don´t break me down
I want to believe that this is for real
Save me from my fear
Don´t tear me down

Don´t tear me down for all I need
Make my heart a better place
Don´t tear me down for all I need
Make my heart a better place

Give me something I can believe
Don´t tear it down, what´s left of me
Make my heart a better place
Make my heart a better place

Frozen


Frozen- Within Temptation

I can´t feel my senses
I just feel the cold
All colors seem to fade away
I can´t reach my soul
I would stop running, If knew there was a chance
It tears me apart to sacrifice it all but I´m forced to let go

Tell me I´m frozen but what can I do?
Can´t tell the reasons I did it for you
When lies turn into truth I sacrificed for you
You say that I´m frozen but what can I do?

I can feel your sorrow
You won´t forgive me,
but I know you´ll be all right
It tears me apart that you will never know but I have to let go

Tell me I´m frozen but what can I do?
Can´t tell the reasons I did it for you
When lies turn into truth I sacrificed for you
You say that I´m frozen but what can I do?

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

I can´t feel my senses
I just feel the cold
Frozen...
But what can I do?
Frozen...

Tell me I´m frozen but what can I do?
Can´t tell the reasons I did it for you
When lies turn into truth I sacrificed for you
You say that I´m frozen, frozen...
