Within Temptation
Angels
1. Angels
Sparkling angel I believed
You are my savior in my time of need.
Blinded by faith I couldn't hear
All the whispers, the warnings so clear.
I see the angels,
I'll lead them to your door.
There's no escape now,
No mercy no more.
No remorse cause I still remember
The smile when you tore me apart.
You took my heart,
Deceived me right from the start.
You showed me dreams,
I wished they turn into real.
You broke a promise and made me realise.
It was all just a lie.
Sparkling angel, I couldn't see
Your dark intentions, your feelings for me.
Fallen angel, tell me why?
What is the reason, the thorn in your eye?
I see the angels,
I'll lead them to your door
There's no escape now
No mercy no more
No remorse cause I still remember
The smile when you tore me apart
You took my heart,
Deceived me right from the start.
You showed me dreams,
I wished they turn into real.
You broke the promise and made me realise.
It was all just a lie.
Could have been forever.
Now we have reached the end.
This world may have failed you,
It doesn't give you a reason why.
You could have chosen a different path in life.
The smile when you tore me apart.
You took my heart,
Deceived me right from the start.
You showed me dreams,
I wished they turn into real.
You broke the promise and made me realise.
It was all just a lie.
Could have been forever.
Now we have reached the end.
2. Say My Name
Say my name
So I will know you're back you're here again
For a while
Oh let us share
The memories that only we can share
Together
Tell me about
The days before I was born
How we were as children
[Refrain:]
You touch my hand
These colors come alive
In your heart and in your mind
I cross the borders of time
Leaving today behind to be with you again
We breath the air
Do you remember how you used to touch my hair?
You're not aware
Your hands keep still
You just don't know that I am here
It hurts too much
I pray now that soon you're released
To where you belong
[Refrain]
Please say my name
Remember who I am
You will find me in the world of yesterday
You drift away again
Too far from where I am
When you ask me who I am
Say my name
These colors come alive
In your heart and in your mind
I cross the borders of time
Leaving today behind to be with you again
Say my name
3. 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'd stay behind,
Though balance is something fragile.
While we thought we were gaining,
We'd turn back the tide, it still slips away.
Our time has run out, our future has died,
There's no more escape.
Now the day has come,
We are forsaken,
There's no time anymore.
Life will pass us by,
We are forsaken,
We're the last of our kind.
The sacrifice was much too high,
Our greed just made us all go blind.
We tried to hide what we feared inside.
Today is the end of tomorrow.
As the sea started rising,
The land that we conquered just washed away.
Although we all have tried to turn back the tide,
It was all in vain.
Now the day has come,
We are forsaken,
There's no time anymore.
Life will pass us by,we are forsaken,
Only ruins stay behind.
Now the day has come.
We are forsaken this time.
Now the day has come,
We are forsaken,
There's no time anymore.
Now the day has come.
The day has come.
The day has come.
4. The Promise
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
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
