Within Temptation The Silent Force 1. Intro [Instrumental] 2. See Who I Am Is it true what they say? Are we too blind to find a way? Fear of the unknown Clouds 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. [Chorus:] 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 have. We just can't stop believing Because we have to try. We can rise above their truth and their lies. [Chorus x2] 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. I hear their silence Preaching my blame. Will our strength remain If their power reigns? [Chorus x2] See who I am, Break through the surface. Reach for my hand, And show them that we can Free our minds and find a way. The world is in our hands. This is not the end. 3. Jillian I've been dreaming for so long, To find a meaning To understand. The secret of life, Why am I here To try again? Will I always, Will you always See the truth When it stares you in the face? Will I ever Will I never free myself By breaking these chains? [Chorus:] I'd give my heart, I'd give my soul. I'd turn it back, it's my fault. Your destiny is forlorn, Have to live till it's undone. I'd give my heart, I'd give my soul. I'd turn it back And then at last I'll be on my way. I've been living for so long, Many seasons have passed me by. I've seen kingdoms through ages Rise and fall, I've seen it all. I've seen the horror, I've seen the wonders Happening just in front of my eyes. Will I ever Will I never free myself by making it right? [Chorus] Jillian Our dream ended long ago. All our stories And all our glory I held so dear. We won't be together for ever and ever, No more tears. I'll always be here Until the end... [Voices] (Jillian, no more tears... Jillian, no more tears...) [Chorus] 4. Stand My Ground I can see When you stay low nothing happens Does it feel right? Late at night Things I thought I put behind me Haunt my mind I just know there's no escape Now once it sets its eyes on you But I won't run, Have to stare it in the eye [Chorus:] Stand my ground, I won't give in No more denying, I've 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 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 [Chorus] 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 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 5. Pale The world seems not the same Though I know nothing has changed It's all my state of mind I can't leave it all behind I have to stand up to be stronger [Chorus:] I have to try To break free From the thoughts in my mind Use the time that I have I can say goodbye Have to make it right Have to fight 'Cause I know in the end it's worthwhile That the pain that I feel slowly fades away It will be all right I know I should realize Time is precious It is worthwhile Despite how I feel inside Have to trust it'll be alright Have to stand up to be stronger [Chorus] Oh, this night is too long Have no strength to go on No more pain I'm floating away Through the mist I see the face Of an angel, calls my name I remember you're the reason I have to stay [Chorus] 6. Forsaken Now the day has come We are forsaken this time We lived our lives In our paradise As Gods we shaped the world around No borderlines We stayed behind No boundaries is something fragile Well we thought we were gaining We turned back the time It still slips away Our time has run out Our future has died There's no more escape [Chorus:] Now the day has come We are forsaken There's no time any more Life will pass us by We are forsaken We're the last of our kind The sacrifice Was much to hide Our greed just made us all go on We try to hide what we fear inside Today is the end of tomorrow As the sea started rise And the land that we conquered It just washed away We all have tried To turn back the time It was all in vain [Chorus:] Now the day has come We are forsaken There's no time any more Life will pass us by We are forsaken Only ruins stay behind (Een hoop gebrabbel) Now the day has come We are forsaken this time Now the day has come We are forsaken There's no time any more Now the day has come, The day has come 7. Angels Sparkling angel I believe You are my saviour In my time of need Blinded by faith I couldn't hear All the whispers The warning's so clear I see the angels I'll lead them to your door There is no escape now Now mercy no more No remorse 'cause I still remember The smile when you tore me apart [Chorus:] You took my heart Deceived me right from the start You showed me dreams I wished they'd turn to real You broke the promise And made me realise It was all just a lie Sparkling angel Couldn't see Your dark intentions Your feelings for me Fallen angel Tell me why?

It's The Fear It waits for the day, I will let it out To give it a reason, to give it its might [Pre-chorus:] I fear who I am becoming, I feel that I am losing the struggle within I can no longer restrain it, My strength, it is fading I have to give in [Chorus:] It's the fear, The fear of the dark It's growing inside of me They won, they will come to life Have to save, Save my beloved, There is no escaping Because my fate is horror and doom Hold down your head now, Just let me pass by Don't feed my fear, If you don't want it out [Pre-chorus] [Chorus] Long ago, it came to me and ever since that day, Infected with it's rage But it ends today [Chorus] 11. Somewhere Lost in the darkness Hoping for a sign Instead there's only silence Can't you hear my screams? Never stop hoping Need to know where you are But one thing's for sure You're always in my heart [Chorus:] I'll find you somewhere I'll keep on trying Until my dying day I just need to know Whatever has happened The truth will free my soul Lost in the darkness Tried to find your way home I want to embrace you And never let you go Almost hope you're in heaven So no one can hurt your soul Living in agony Cause I just do not know Where you are [Chorus] Wherever you are I won't stop searching Whatever it takes me to know [Chorus] 12. A Dangerous Mind [Bonus track] I'm searching for answers 'cause something is not right. I follow the signs, I'm close to the fire. I fear that soon you'll reveal Your dangerous mind. [Chorus:] It's in your eyes, what's on your mind. I fear your smile and the promise inside. It's in your eyes, what's on your mind. I fear your presence, I'm frozen inside. I'm searching for answers Not questioned before. The curse of awareness, There's no peace of mind. As your true colours show A dangerous sign. [Chorus 2:] It's in your eyes, what's on your mind. I see the truth that you've buried inside. It's in your eyes, what's on your mind. There is no mercy just anger I find. I just have know, while I still have time. Do I have to run, or hide away from you? [Chorus 2] 13. The Swan Song [Bonus track] Winter has come for me, can't carry on. The Chains to my life are strong but soon they'll be gone. I'll spread my wings one more time. [Chorus:] Is it a dream? All the ones I have loved calling out my name. The sun warms my face. All the days of my life, I see them passing me by. In my heart I know I can let go. In the end I will find some peace inside. New wings are growing tonight. [Chorus] As I am soaring I'm one with the wind. I am longing to see you again, it's been so long. We will be together again. [Chorus] 14. Overcome [Bonus track] Where are the heroes I my time of need Is my crying abandoned? Or have they gone Oh no They just tend to stand Out of the rain Thinking but not acting That they're not to blame Falling and crawling A fight to stand up Memory still haunts me In the dead of night Over and over I felt so small But one day I'll be stronger And you better watch out [Chorus:] I will overcome In violence there's silence Oh no, It can't be undone I will overcome Knowing that I'm not the only one I will overcome It's the only way to carry on Where are the saviours Afraid of the toll Sorry do my nine inch nails Slash your soul? Such heroes Throwing stones Straight at the one Who is standing alone? Twisting and turning It's always the same The truth is never honest When you're to blame Pushing and pulling Never give in One day I wish You see you're not so beautiful within [Chorus] Run and run Run and run [Chorus] I will overcome 15. Towards The End [Bonus track] The turn against The world we know Now our destiny Will be decided We have to send our brothers in arms With pain in our heart We watched them go Will they return? Truth is we had no choice We'll try to shield those we can No better world Let this end Mothers cry Our boys die But we'll stand 'till the end 16. The Silence [Bonus track] 17. Destroyed [UK bonus track] I did my best to please you But my best was never good enough Somehow you're only able to see All I am not Did you ever look behind Aren't you afraid of the pieces you'll find I have failed you But you have failed me too It's so easy to destroy and condemn The ones you do not understand Do you ever wonder if it's justified It's so easy to destroy and condemn The ones you do not understand In your life why didn't you ever try I close my eyes as I walk the thin line between love and hate For the person with the same blood in his veins You show no regrets About all the things you did or said I have failed you But believe me you failed me too It's so easy to destroy and condemn The ones you do not understand Do you ever wonder if it's justified It's so easy to destroy and condemn The ones you do not understand In your life why didn't you ever try It's so easy to destroy and condemn The ones you do not understand Do you ever wonder if it's justified It's so easy to destroy and condemn The ones you do not understand Do you ever wonder if it's justified 18. Jane Doe [UK Bonus track] Run away, hide away The secrets in your mind 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 Why, you just won't leave my mind Was this the only way I couldn't let you stay
