Within Temptation : Never-Ending Rarities
Les paroles
DISC 1 - DEMOS
1. ENTER
The gates of time have opened,
Now, it's chains are broken.
An ancient force unleashed again
As I enter the portal,
I feel the enchantment
It takes me away, away from here
Come near me,
enter my private chambers,
I want to feel the warmth on my face,
light-in darkness,
lift me up from here.
Give me your wings,
to flee from my ivory tower.
As I enter the portal,
I feel the enchantment
The stars above are lying at my feet.
Come near me,
enter my private chambers,
I want to feel the warmth on my face,
light-in darkness,
lift me up from here.
Give me your wings,
to flee from my ivory tower.
2. CANDLES
Take away,
These hands of darkness.
Reaching for my soul.
Now, the cold wind, blows out my candles.
Feeling, only fear, without any hope.
A thousand dark moons.
A thousand winters long.
A million fallen stars, the candle burns in the womb.
We try not to forget, they live through us.
Slowly they die away at every candle's end.
A thousand dark moons.
A thousand winters long.
A million fallen stars, the candle burns in the womb.
We trie not to forget, they live through us.
Slowly they die away at every candle's end.
3. GATEKEEPER
The shadows of the night,
are unleashed again
Where their greed begins,
the end is near
A morbid hunger for blood,
lies in their cold black eyes
They've come to take our lifes away
One by one they died
A massacre that took all night
They had no chance, it was no fight
You can't kill what has been killed before
They died.....
With shadows on its tail
He stepped through the portal,
locked the door and ate the key
With his life they took their way to freedom,
and he became the final keeper of the key
4. PEARLS
After,
the cold darkness,
in the heart of the forest.
Where birds are singing,
for the new born sun
In the womb of the leaves,
on the branches of the trees,
lies the treasure in the morning,
the pearls of light.
Carried away by the truculence of my world,
I got lost in the search for enlightenment,
The blue rain,
Covered my roots and I forgot where I came from.
Carried away by the truculence of my world,
I got lost in the search for enlightment,
The blue rain,
Covered my roots and I forgot where I came from.

5. ICE QUEEN
When leaves have fallen and skies turned to grey
The night keeps on closing in on the day
A nightingale sings his song of farewell
You'd better hide from her freezing hell
On cold wings she's coming
You'd better keep moving
For warmth, you'll be longing
Any day
Come on, just feel it?
Don't you see it?
You'd better believe
When she embraces
Your heart turns to stone
She comes at night when you're all alone
And when she whispers
Your blood shall run cold
You'd better hide before she finds you
Whenever she is raging
She takes a life away
Haven't you seen
Haven't you seen
The ruins of her world
Whenever she is raging
She takes a life away
Haven't you seen
Haven't you seen
The ruins of her world
She covers the Earth with a breathtaking cloak
The sun awakes and melts it away
The world now opens its eyes and sees
The dawning of a new day
On cold wings she's coming
You'd better keep moving
For warmth, you'll be longing
Any day
Come on you feel it
Don't you see it
You'd better believe
Whenever she is raging
She takes life away
Haven't you seen
Haven't you seen
The ruins of her world
Whenever she is raging
She takes life away
Haven't you seen
Haven't you seen
The ruins of her world
6. MOTHER EARTH
Birds and butterflies
Rivers and mountains she creates
But you'll never know
The next move she'll make
You can try
But it is useless to ask why
Cannot control her
She goes her own way
She rules until the end of time
She gives and she takes
She rules until the end of time
She goes her way
With every breath
And all the choices that we make
We are only passing through on her way
I find my strength
Believing that their souls live on
Until the end of time
I'll carry them with me
She rules until the end of time
She gives and she takes
She rules until the end of time
She goes her way
Once you will know my dear
You dont have to fear
A new beginning
Always starts at the end
Once you will know my dear
You dont have to fear ...
Until the end of time x3
She goes her way
She rules until the end of time
She gives and she takes
She rules until the end of time
Until the end of time
Until the end of time
She goes her way.
7. OUR FAREWELL
In my hands
A legacy of memories
I can hear you say my name
I can almost see your smile
Feel the warmth of your embrace
But there is nothing but silence now
Around the one I loved
Is this our farewell?
Sweet darling, you worry too much, my child
See the sadness in your eyes
You are not alone in life
Although you might think that you are
Never thought
This day would come so soon
We had no time to say goodbye
How can the world just carry on?
I feel so lost when you are not at my side
But there is nothing but silence now
Around the one I loved
Is this our farewell?
Sweet darling, you worry too much, my child
See the sadness in your eyes
You are not alone in life
Although you might think that you are
So sorry your world is tumbling down
I'll watch you through these nights
Rest your head and go to sleep
Because my child, this is not our farewell.
This is not our farewell.
8. RESTLESS
She embraced, with a smile,
as she opened the door.
A cold wind blows,
it puts a chill into her heart.
You have taken away the trust,
you're the ghost haunting through her heart.
Past and present are one in her head,
you're the ghost haunting through her heart.
Take my hand as I wander through,
all of my life I gave to you.
Take my hand as I wander through,
all of my love I gave to you.
You have taken away the trust,
you're the ghost haunting through her heart.
Past and present are one in her head,
you're the ghost haunting through her heart.
Take my hand as I wander through,
All of my life I gave to you.
Take my hand as I wander through,
All of my love I gave to you.
9. DEEP WITHIN
Is there a place deep within
A place where you hide your darkest sins
There's a strange kind of ambiance,
its surrounding you
as a songstress you lure me,
towards the truth
Candles die down as you leave the room
In my heart you leave no gloom
As you lure me I know the truth
You're a leprechaun, I see you through.
Is there a place deep within
A place where you hide your darkest sins
There's a strange kind of ambiance,
its surrounding you
as a songstress you lure me,
towards the truth
10. THE DANCE
Someone is dancing on my grave
Sending shivers down my spine.
I hear a laugh, it awoke my soul
The wind takes the leaves where he
Wants them to go
His tunes enchant our world,
Our thoughts and leave us frozen
In this heart of mine
It's you I find
Take my hand
I'll take you to the promised land
You're the one
I hear a laugh, it awoke my soul
The wind takes the leaves where he
Wants them to go
His tunes enchant our world,
Our thoughts and leave us frozen
In this heart of mine
It's you I find
Take my hand
I'll take you to the promised land
You're the one
Nevil, whatever you have done, these tears
Will fade
Nevil, wherever you have gone,
Please have faith
11. ORF
We've been dreaming for so long
Endless wisdom comes our way
And before he his time has
Never failing until the end
We'll always, we'll always
See the truthless skies in your face
We'll never, we'll never
See the love when having goodbye
If you want to belong
nd never see you're facing
To feel the sorrow
And never see the truth
It's too long to belong
And never see your face
And never to be strong
We've been dreaming for so long
Can his words taken you way ?
And before he his time has
Never faling until the end
We'll always, we'll always
See the truthless skies in your face
We'll never, we'll never
See the love when having goodbye
If you want to belong
And never see you're facing
To feel the sorrow
And never see the truth
It's too long to belong
And never see your face
And never to be strong
For how long?
The dream has sinned long ago
We tell our stories and endless worries found in here
We'll be together, for ever and ever
found in here
We'll always be
If you want to belong
And never see you're facing
To feel the sorrow
And never see the truth
It's too long to belong
And never see your face
And never to be strong
12. JANE DOE
Why, you just won't leave my mind
Was this the only way
I couldn't let you stay
Run away, hide away
the secrets in your eye
Sacrificed just her life
for a higher love
No matter how many stones you put inside
She always keeps on floating in your mind
With every turn of your head you see her face again
until the end, over and over again
Why, you just won't leave my mind
Was this the only way
I couldn't let you stay
Told the truth she laughed at you
Something snapped inside
She had to go or they would know
all you tried to hide
The sins of your life are now catching up with you.
You can't stay ahead, there's nothing you can do
With every turn of your head you see her face again
until the end, over and over again
Why, you just won't leave my mind
Was this the only way
I couldn't let you stay
(Repeat 2x)
13. NEVER-ENDING STORY
Armies have conquered
And fallen in the end
Kingdoms have risen
Then buried by sand
The Earth is our mother
She gives and she takes
She puts us to sleep
In her light we'll awake
We'll all be forgotten
There's no endless fame
But everything we do
It's never in vain
We're part of a story, part of a tale
We're all on this journey
No one's to stay
Where ever it's going
What is the way?
Forests and deserts
Rivers, blue seas
Mountains and valleys
Nothing here stays
While we think we witness
We're part of the scene
This never-ending story
Where will it lead to?
The earth is our mother
She gives and she takes
But she's also a part
A part of the tale
We're part of a story, part of a tale
We're all on this journey
No one is to stay
Where is it going
What is the way?
We're part of a story, part of a tale
Sometimes beautiful and sometimes insane
No one remembers how it began.
We're part of a story, part of a tale
We're all on this journey
No one is to stay
Where is it going
What is the way?
We're part of a story, part of a tale
Sometimes beautiful and sometimes insane
No one remembers how it began.
14. RUNNING UP THAT HILL
It doesn't hurt me
Do you wanna feel how it feels?
Do you wanna know that it doesn't hurt me?
Do you wanna hear about the deal that I'm making?
It's you and me, yeah
And if I only could
Make a deal with God
And let him swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
Be running up that building
So if I only could
Don't wanna hurt me
But see how deep the bullet lies
Unaware I'm tearing you asunder
Oh, there is thunder in our hearts
Is there so much hate for the ones we love?
Oh tell me we both matter, don't we?
It's you and me that won't be unhappy
And if I only could
Make a deal with God
And let him swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
Be running up that building
And if I only could
Make a deal with God
And let him swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
With no problems
C'mon baby, c'mon c'mon darling
Let me steal this moment from you now
C'mon angel, c'mon, c'mon darling
Let's exchange the experience
And if I only could
Make a deal with God
And let him swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
Be running up that building
So if I only could
Make a deal with God
And let him swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
With no problems...

DISC 2 - LIVE, RARE AND B-SIDES
1. SEE HOW I AM
Is it true what they say,
Are we too blind to find the way?
Fear of the unknown cloud our hearts today.
Come into my world,
See through 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 withering the soul
At the point of no return.
We must be the change
We wish to see.
I'll come into your world,
See through your eyes.
I'll try to understand,
Before we lose what we've had.
We just can't stop believing
'Cause 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.
Hear the 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.

4. DARK WINGS
Why was I one of the chosen ones?
Until the fight I could not see
The magic and the strength of my power
It was beyond my wildest dreams
Dark wings they are descending
See shadows gathering around
One by one they are falling
Every time they try to strike us down
Don't you die on me
You haven't made your peace
Live life, breathe, breathe
Don't you die on me
You haven't made your peace
Live life, breathe, breathe
Dark wings they are descending
See shadows gathering around
One by one they are falling
Every time they try to strike us down
As they took your soul away
The night turned into the day
Blinded by your rays of life
Gave us the strength we needed
Dark wings they are descending
See shadows gathering around
One by one they are falling
Every time they try to strike us
Dark wings they are descending
See shadows gathering around
One by one they are falling
Every time they try to strike us down
5. THE PROMISE
[spoken]
"Where are we now... you almost look happy...
Where are we now... you almost look happy...
Where are we now... look happy...
You almost look happy...
You almost look happy...
Look happy...
On behalf of her love
She no longer sleeps
Life had no longer meaning
Nothing to make her stay
She sold her soul away
I held you tight to me
You slipped away
You promised to return to me
And I believed, I believed
After the night he died
I wept my tears until they dried
But the pain stayed the same
I didn't want him to die all in vain
I made a promise to revenge his soul in time
I'll make them bleed down at my feet
I held you tight to me
But,you slipped away
You promised to return to me
And I believed
Sometimes I wonder
Could I have known about their true intentions?
As the pain stayed the same
I'm going to haunt them down all the way
I made a promise to revenge his soul in time
One by one they were surprised
I held you tight to me
But,you slipped away
You promised to return to me
And I believed
[spoken]
"Where are we now... you almost look happy...
Where are we now... you almost look happy...
Where are we now... look happy..."
"Look happy..."
"You almost look happy..."
I held you tight to me
´But,you slipped away
You promised to return to me
And I believed
6. BITTERWEET
If I tell you
Will you listen?
Will you stay?
Will you be here forever?
Never go away?
Never thought things would change
Hold me tight
Please don't say again
That you have to go
A bitter thought
I had it all
But I just let it go
Oh, this silence
It's so violent
Since your`re gone
All my thoughts are with you forever
Until the day we'll be back together
I will be waiting for you
If I had told you
You would have listened
You had stayed
You would be here forever
Never went away
It would never have been the same
All our time
Would have been in vain
Cause you had to go
The sweetest thought
I had it all
Cause I did let you go
All our moments
Keep me warm
When you're gone
All my thoughts are with you forever
Until the day we'll be back together
I will be waiting for you.
7. WORLD OF MAKE BELIEVE
On golden wings
She flies at night
With her dress
It's blinding white
Countless diamonds
And her long blonde hair
The queen is coming
So you better be aware
Her plums and flowers
They are never the same
Blue and silver
It's all her game
Flying dragons
And enchanted woods
She decides, she creates
It's her reality
In her world of dreams and make believe
She reigns forever
With all her glory
Unicorns appear in her sight
The fireflies lead her trough these woods at night
In search of the legendary amulet
And it's secret
In the big oak there is a door
Which will lead her
To the wizard shore
And she'll ask him
For the wind to sail her home
To the world where she belongs
In her world of dreams and make believe
She reigns forever
With all her glory
In this world of endless fantasy
She makes it happen
It's her reality
In her world of dreams and make believe
She reigns forever
With all her glory
In this world of endless fantasy
She makes it happen
It's her reality
8. STAND MY GROUND
I can see
when you stay low nothing happens
Does it feel right?
Late at night
things I thought I'd put behind me
haunt my mind
I just know there's no escape now
once it's set its eyes on you
but I won't run, have to stare it in the eye
Stand my ground, I won't give in
No more denying, I gotta face it
Won't 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
can I 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
Won't 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 got to face it
won't 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
Won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside
If I don't make it, someone else will
Stand My Ground.

13. THE OTHER HALF OF ME
Over the hills lies a new beginning
Over the hills
Over the hills there is a way I know it
Over the hills
You can't brighten at the gloom
-Your heart is afraid and so empty
You glorify the future
-Living in a different world than me
This journey ends in death
-You are giving up so easily
You are the other half of me
Over the hills [x4]
We are drifting apart
- Chilled to the marrow 'cause you don't want to go
We've got a different wish at heart
- The Amulet guides us to other side
When I go down, it's you who'll bleed
- I'm not scared to die, as long as I'm with you
You are the other half of me
Over the hills lies a new beginning
Over the hills
Over the hills there is a way I know it
Over the hills

His tunes enchant our world,
Our thoughts and leave us frozen
In this heart of mine
It's you I find
Take my hand
I'll take you to the promised land
You're the one
Nevil, whatever you have done, these tears
Will fade
Nevil, wherever you have gone,
Please have faith
11. ORF
We've been dreaming for so long
Endless wisdom comes our way
And before he his time has
Never failing until the end
We'll always, we'll always
See the truthless skies in your face
We'll never, we'll never
See the love when having goodbye
If you want to belong
nd never see you're facing
To feel the sorrow
And never see the truth
It's too long to belong
And never see your face
And never to be strong
We've been dreaming for so long
Can his words taken you way ?
And before he his time has
Never faling until the end
We'll always, we'll always
See the truthless skies in your face
We'll never, we'll never
See the love when having goodbye
If you want to belong
And never see you're facing
To feel the sorrow
And never see the truth
It's too long to belong
And never see your face
And never to be strong
For how long?
The dream has sinned long ago
We tell our stories and endless worries found in here
We'll be together, for ever and ever
found in here
We'll always be
If you want to belong
And never see you're facing
To feel the sorrow
And never see the truth
It's too long to belong
And never see your face
And never to be strong
12. JANE DOE
Why, you just won't leave my mind
Was this the only way
I couldn't let you stay
Run away, hide away
the secrets in your eye
Sacrificed just her life
for a higher love
No matter how many stones you put inside
She always keeps on floating in your mind
With every turn of your head you see her face again
until the end, over and over again
Why, you just won't leave my mind
Was this the only way
I couldn't let you stay
Told the truth she laughed at you
Something snapped inside
She had to go or they would know
all you tried to hide
The sins of your life are now catching up with you.
You can't stay ahead, there's nothing you can do
With every turn of your head you see her face again
until the end, over and over again
Why, you just won't leave my mind
Was this the only way
I couldn't let you stay
(Repeat 2x)
13. NEVER-ENDING STORY
Armies have conquered
And fallen in the end
Kingdoms have risen
Then buried by sand
The Earth is our mother
She gives and she takes
She puts us to sleep
In her light we'll awake
We'll all be forgotten
There's no endless fame
But everything we do
It's never in vain
We're part of a story, part of a tale
We're all on this journey
No one's to stay
Where ever it's going
What is the way?
Forests and deserts
Rivers, blue seas
Mountains and valleys
Nothing here stays
While we think we witness
We're part of the scene
This never-ending story
Where will it lead to?
The earth is our mother
She gives and she takes
But she's also a part
A part of the tale
We're part of a story, part of a tale
We're all on this journey
No one is to stay
Where is it going
What is the way?
We're part of a story, part of a tale
Sometimes beautiful and sometimes insane
No one remembers how it began.
We're part of a story, part of a tale
We're all on this journey
No one is to stay
Where is it going
What is the way?
We're part of a story, part of a tale
Sometimes beautiful and sometimes insane
No one remembers how it began.
14. RUNNING UP THAT HILL
It doesn't hurt me
Do you wanna feel how it feels?
Do you wanna know that it doesn't hurt me?
Do you wanna hear about the deal that I'm making?
It's you and me, yeah
And if I only could
Make a deal with God
And let him swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
Be running up that building
So if I only could
Don't wanna hurt me
But see how deep the bullet lies
Unaware I'm tearing you asunder
Oh, there is thunder in our hearts
Is there so much hate for the ones we love?
Oh tell me we both matter, don't we?
It's you and me that won't be unhappy
And if I only could
Make a deal with God
And let him swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
Be running up that building
And if I only could
Make a deal with God
And let him swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
With no problems
C'mon baby, c'mon c'mon darling
Let me steal this moment from you now
C'mon angel, c'mon, c'mon darling
Let's exchange the experience
And if I only could
Make a deal with God
And let him swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
Be running up that building
So if I only could
Make a deal with God
And let him swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
With no problems...

DISC 2 - LIVE, RARE AND B-SIDES
1. SEE HOW I AM
Is it true what they say,
Are we too blind to find the way?
Fear of the unknown cloud our hearts today.
Come into my world,
See through 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 withering the soul
At the point of no return.
We must be the change
We wish to see.
I'll come into your world,
See through your eyes.
I'll try to understand,
Before we lose what we've had.
We just can't stop believing
'Cause 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.
Hear the 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.

4. DARK WINGS
Why was I one of the chosen ones?
Until the fight I could not see
The magic and the strength of my power
It was beyond my wildest dreams
Dark wings they are descending
See shadows gathering around
One by one they are falling
Every time they try to strike us down
Don't you die on me
You haven't made your peace
Live life, breathe, breathe
Don't you die on me
You haven't made your peace
Live life, breathe, breathe
Dark wings they are descending
See shadows gathering around
One by one they are falling
Every time they try to strike us down
As they took your soul away
The night turned into the day
Blinded by your rays of life
Gave us the strength we needed
Dark wings they are descending
See shadows gathering around
One by one they are falling
Every time they try to strike us
Dark wings they are descending
See shadows gathering around
One by one they are falling
Every time they try to strike us down
5. THE PROMISE
[spoken]
"Where are we now... you almost look happy...
Where are we now... you almost look happy...
Where are we now... look happy...
You almost look happy...
You almost look happy...
Look happy...
On behalf of her love
She no longer sleeps
Life had no longer meaning
Nothing to make her stay
She sold her soul away
I held you tight to me
You slipped away
You promised to return to me
And I believed, I believed
After the night he died
I wept my tears until they dried
But the pain stayed the same
I didn't want him to die all in vain
I made a promise to revenge his soul in time
I'll make them bleed down at my feet
I held you tight to me
But,you slipped away
You promised to return to me
And I believed
Sometimes I wonder
Could I have known about their true intentions?
As the pain stayed the same
I'm going to haunt them down all the way
I made a promise to revenge his soul in time
One by one they were surprised
I held you tight to me
But,you slipped away
You promised to return to me
And I believed
[spoken]
"Where are we now... you almost look happy...
Where are we now... you almost look happy...
Where are we now... look happy..."
"Look happy..."
"You almost look happy..."
I held you tight to me
´But,you slipped away
You promised to return to me
And I believed
6. BITTERWEET
If I tell you
Will you listen?
Will you stay?
Will you be here forever?
Never go away?
Never thought things would change
Hold me tight
Please don't say again
That you have to go
A bitter thought
I had it all
But I just let it go
Oh, this silence
It's so violent
Since your`re gone
All my thoughts are with you forever
Until the day we'll be back together
I will be waiting for you
If I had told you
You would have listened
You had stayed
You would be here forever
Never went away
It would never have been the same
All our time
Would have been in vain
Cause you had to go
The sweetest thought
I had it all
Cause I did let you go
All our moments
Keep me warm
When you're gone
All my thoughts are with you forever
Until the day we'll be back together
I will be waiting for you.
7. WORLD OF MAKE BELIEVE
On golden wings
She flies at night
With her dress
It's blinding white
Countless diamonds
And her long blonde hair
The queen is coming
So you better be aware
Her plums and flowers
They are never the same
Blue and silver
It's all her game
Flying dragons
And enchanted woods
She decides, she creates
It's her reality
In her world of dreams and make believe
She reigns forever
With all her glory
Unicorns appear in her sight
The fireflies lead her trough these woods at night
In search of the legendary amulet
And it's secret
In the big oak there is a door
Which will lead her
To the wizard shore
And she'll ask him
For the wind to sail her home
To the world where she belongs
In her world of dreams and make believe
She reigns forever
With all her glory
In this world of endless fantasy
She makes it happen
It's her reality
In her world of dreams and make believe
She reigns forever
With all her glory
In this world of endless fantasy
She makes it happen
It's her reality
8. STAND MY GROUND
I can see
when you stay low nothing happens
Does it feel right?
Late at night
things I thought I'd put behind me
haunt my mind
I just know there's no escape now
once it's set its eyes on you
but I won't run, have to stare it in the eye
Stand my ground, I won't give in
No more denying, I gotta face it
Won't 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
can I 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
Won't 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 got to face it
won't 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
Won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside
If I don't make it, someone else will
Stand My Ground.

13. THE OTHER HALF OF ME
Over the hills lies a new beginning
Over the hills
Over the hills there is a way I know it
Over the hills
You can't brighten at the gloom
-Your heart is afraid and so empty
You glorify the future
-Living in a different world than me
This journey ends in death
-You are giving up so easily
You are the other half of me
Over the hills [x4]
We are drifting apart
- Chilled to the marrow 'cause you don't want to go
We've got a different wish at heart
- The Amulet guides us to other side
When I go down, it's you who'll bleed
- I'm not scared to die, as long as I'm with you
You are the other half of me
Over the hills lies a new beginning
Over the hills
Over the hills there is a way I know it
Over the hills
