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- 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...

Unknown Soldier

Hi everyone. Today I'm going to review a great song by Breaking Benjamin. As you can see, they've made it to my "awesome bands, cool music stores and anything else that has to do with music" list, so they're pretty awesome. So this song is from they're album Phobia and it's about (well, the way I see it) fighting the world and the bipolar emotions and thoughts we all have knowing we fight the world till we die and wanting to escape reality. Wanting to see life through a screen. Because we are one of the thousands of soldiers that the world doesn't know about.

There is no video that does this song justice so to listen, click here.


Unknown Soldier- Breaking Benjamin

Borderline,
Dead inside.
I don't mind,
Falling to pieces.
Count me in,
Violent,
Let's begin.
Feeding the sickness.
How do I simplify,
Dislocate,
The enemy is on the way.

[Chorus]
Show me what it's like
To dream in black and white,
So I can leave this world tonight.

Full of fear,
Everclear.
I'll be here,
Fighting forever.
Curious,
Venomous,
You'll find me
Climbing to heaven.
Never mind,
Turn back time.
You'll be fine,
I will get left behind.

[Chorus]
Show me what it's like
To dream in black and white,
So I can leave this world tonight.
Holding on too tight.
Breathe the breath of life,
So I can leave this world behind.

It only hurts just once.
They're only broken bones.
Hide the hate inside.

[Chorus]
Show me what it's like
To dream in black and white,
So I can leave this world tonight.
Holding on too tight.
Breathe the breath of life,
So I can leave this world behind.

Evil Angel

This is another wonderful song by breaking Benjamin. It's played beautifully with great drums and guitar parts, wonderful suspense and incredible conviction. I really love it. I see it as being betrayed by someone you love, but needing them nonetheless and feeling helpless.

Again, there is no video for this song so to listen to it, click here.


Evil Angel- Breaking Benjamin

Hold it together.
Birds of a feather.
Nothing but lies and crooked wings.
I have the answer.
Spreading the cancer.
You are the faith inside me.
No, Don't, leave me to die here.
Help me survive here, alone.
Don't Remember!
Remember!

Put me to sleep, Evil Angel.
Open your wings, Evil Angel. (Ahhh)

I'm a believer.
Nothing could be worse.
All these imaginary friends.
Hiding betrayal.
Driving the nail.
Hoping to find a savior.
No, don't, leave me to die here.
Help me survive here, alone.
Don't Surrender!
Surrender!

Put me to sleep, Evil Angel.
Open your wings, Evil Angel. (oohh)
Fly over me, Evil Angel.
Why can't I breathe, Evil Angel?

Put me to sleep, Evil Angel.
Open your wings, Evil Angel. (oohh)
Fly over me, Evil Angel.
Why can't I breathe, Evil Angel?

Yay! New Songs!

Here are a couple of great songs that I found. Enjoy!

B.Y.O.B.- System of a Down


B.Y.O.B.- System of a Down

Why do they always send the poor?!

My god is of bible blood
With pointed ears
Victorious victories kneel
For brand new spankin' deals

Marching forward hypocritic and
Hypnotic computers
You depend on our protection
Yet you feed us lies from the tablecloth

La la la la la la ooooooo
Everybody's going to the party have a real good time
Dancing in the desert blowing up the sunshine

Kneeling roses disappearing into
Moses' dry mouth
Breaking into Fort Knox stealing
Our intentions

Hangers sitting dripped in oil
Crying freedom
Handed to obsoletion
Still you feed us lies from the tablecloth

La la la la la la oooooooo
Everybody's going to the party have a real good time
Dancing in the desert blowing up the sunshine

Everybody's going to the party have a real good time
Dancing in the desert blowing up the sunshine

Blast off
It's party time
And we don't live in a fascist nation

Blast off
It's party time
And where the fuck are you?

Where the fuck are you?
Where the fuck are you?

Why dont presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor?

Why dont presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why do they always send the poor?

Kneeling roses disappearing into
Moses' dry mouth
Breaking into Fort Knox stealing
Our intentions

Hangers sitting dripped in oil
Crying freedom
Handed to obsoletion,
Still you feed us lies from the tablecloth

Everybody's going to the party have a real good time
Dancing in the desert blowing up the sunshine

Everybody's going to the party have a real good time
Dancing in the desert blowing up the sun...

Where the fuck are you?
Where the fuck are you?

Why dont presidents fight the war?
Why do they always set the par?

Why dont presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why do they always send the poor?

Why do they always send the poor?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why do they always send the poor?
They always send the poor
They always send the poor

That Green Gentleman- Panic(!) At The Disco


That Green Gentleman- Panic(!) At The Disco

Things are shaping up to be pretty odd
Little deaths in musical beds
So it seems I'm someone I've never met

You will only hear these elegant crimes
Fall on your ears from criminal dimes
They spill unfound from a pretty mouth

And everybody gets there when everybody gets there
And everybody gets their way
I never said I missed her when everybody kissed her
Now I'm the only one to blame

Things have changed for me, and that's okay
I feel the same, I'm on my way, and I say
Things have changed for me, and that's okay…

I want to go where everyone goes
I want to know what everyone knows
I want to go where everyone feels the same

I never said I'd leave the city
I never said I'd leave this town
A falling out we won't tiptoe about

When everybody gets there everybody gets there
And everybody gets their way
I never said I missed her when everybody kissed her
Now I'm the only one to blame

Things have changed for me, and that's okay
I feel the same, I'm on my way, and I say
Things have changed for me, and that's okay
I feel the same, and I say

Things have changed for me, and that's okay
I feel the same, and I say
[X2]
Things have changed for me
