Within Temptation
The Brightest Void
1. No Bitter End (Video Clip Version)
Desire is a flame alive when dreams are far away
Open up your inner eye, let hope save the day
She will follow for you
Make the rain shine anew
We’ll make the path for you to take
Till to the end walk you though
Time won’t wait
Lead your fate
Never let go
Blackout the sun
Light nowhere
Tell me you don’t need it anymore...
No bitter end
Hold on, don’t run
Forever still yourself
The one that you defend
No bitter end
Silently, mysteriously
How brave worlds are born
They cut away the misery
For hearts to find home
To be there with all you need
And nothing left to prove
Take a chance, oh, never leave
Know it all starts with you
Time won’t wait
Lead your fate
Never let go
Blackout the sun
Light nowhere
Tell me you don’t need it anymore...
No bitter end
Hold on, don’t run
Forever still yourself
The one that you defend
No bitter end
There’s hope for everyone
‘Cause every heart’s the same
To forgive what you have done
A silent wish for change
Blackout the sun
Light nowhere
Tell me you don’t need it anymore...
No bitter end
Hold on, don’t run
Forever still yourself
The one that you defend
No bitter end
2. Your Heaven and Your Hell
Give the devil your little finger
He’ll take your whole hand
Wanna stay in bed, got a heavy head
A sledge-hammer in my skull
But I’m scared I’d wind up dead if life should get too dull
Well, maybe there ain’t no divine plan
And things just happen ‘cause they can
Just don’t paint devils on the wall
Ain’t nothing cool about death at all
Love and light are heaven-sent
We really ain’t all that hellbent
On darkness as our style
We’d rather make you smile
Killing then with kindness all the while
Why on Earth d’you wanna blame God
When things don’t go your way?
It’s just the evil that men do down here everyday
Take responsibility for your actions and you liberty
Can’t neglect cause and effects with your apathy
The second coming came and went
Third time lucky, heaven sent
It ain’t no shuck n’ jive
You control your life
You don’t need the trouble or the strife
If there’s a God we know him well
If there’s a devil we can tell
There ain’t no punishment in hell
Sin is only man’s invention
It ain’t no divine intervention
You make your own heaven and your hell
If there’s a God we know him well
If there’s a devil we can tell
There ain’t no punishment in hell
You don’t get saved by the bell
If there’s a God we know hill well
If there’s a devil we can tell
There ain’t no punishment in hell
Sin is only man’s invention
It ain’t no divine intervention
You make your own heaven and your hell
And your hell
3. Eagle Eye
I’ve been to the end of earth, the waters, end of sky
I’ve circled the mountains, the forests
Across the nights
Over the land that I have seen
Where the wind swept my heart clean
I found the way to feel alive
Leaving behind your eagle eye
Love like a dance in fire untamed, blazing high
The power to dwell as one, unchained, will not die
When you have burned so deep within?
Rest the ashes, then begin
I found a way to feel alive (to feel alive)
Leaving behind your eagle eye (your eagle eye)
Over the land that we have seen
Where the winds swept our hearts clean
When we have burned so deep within
Rest the ashes, then begin
Eagle eye
...
(Over the land that we have seen)
(Where the winds swept our hearts clean)
(When we have burned so deep within?)
(Rest the ashes, then begin)
(...)
Your eagle eye
...
I found a way to feel alive
Leaving behind your eagle eye (your eagle eye)
I found a way to feel alive (to feel alive)
Leaving behind your eagle eye (your eagle eye)
4. An Empty Dream (Main theme from "Corazón Muerto")
Your scent became again
Vanishing memory
Repeating lace of pain
Why this endless misery
Us or oblivion
This void will haunt you
Can't be forgiven
Our love the tears for two
Oh, I wish to reach your heart
Life is just an empty dream
We will never be apart
Take me home forever
Through the time I will control
Whispering cruelty
Today you have my soul
Who is who in this puppetry?
Lost our connection,
Feelings I once knew
Crying for meaning
All alone, the death for two
Oh, I wish to reach your heart
Life is just an empty dream
We will never be apart
Take me home forever
[I'm another mess
When I'm alive
How long will you turn]
Oh, I wish to reach your heart
Life is just an empty dream
We will never be apart
Take me home forever, ever!
Oh, I wish to reach your heart
Life is just an empty dream
We will never be apart...
(Take me home forever)
5. Witch Hunt
You seek to blame
Condemn the name
Bewitch the masses with your own veil
Without remorse
You chase the ones
Trespassing lines you don't understand
I am the door to the unknown
I hear the whispering souls around
My eyes can see your fear of me
I am not wondering why you're here
No more pain
Wronged again and again
Pride will fall like sounds of misery
In the hymns that have been heard
Still today as before
Write your sins to her core
My gruesome fate
Axe, rope or flame
Put me to death
I'll be born again
No more pain
Wronged again and again
Pride will fall like sounds of misery
In the hymns that have been heard
Still today as before
Write your sins to her core
6. Shameless
I used to think that is just my imagination
I hear you through the tale, day and night
Oh just you there, shifted into the desperation
Are we accepting this without a fight?
You well know how much your words deceive
You well know how much you need us to believe
Take me there
Where our wisest are heard
Take me anywhere
Then I, I, I won’t feel despair
All your sins I have seen through my eyes
The truth, your shameless lies
You get away with stealing through you dedication
Poker face towards the sleeping crowds
And after killing thee there is a huge temptation
The art of mastering the abuse of crown
You well know how much your words deceive
You well know how much you need us to believe
Take me there
Where our wisest are heard
Take me anywhere
Then I, I, I won’t feel despair
All your sins I have seen through my eyes
The truth, your shameless lies
Take me there
Where our wisest are heard
Take me anywhere
Then I, I, I won’t feel despair
All your sins I have seen through my eyes
Your lies
Take me there
Where our wisest are heard
Take me anywhere
Then I, I, I won’t feel despair
All your sins I have seen through my eyes
The truth, your shameless lies
Take me there
Where our wisest are heard
Take me anywhere
Then I, I, I won’t feel despair
All your sins I have seen through my eyes
Your lies
(Take me there!)
7. House of Wax (Paul McCartney Cover)
Lightning hits the house of wax
Poets spill out on the street
To set alight the incomplete
Remainders of the future
Hidden in the yard
Hidden in the yard
Thunder drowns the trumpets blast
Poets scatter through the night
But they can only dream of flight
Away from their confusion
Hidden in the yard
Underneath the wall
Buried deep below a thousand layers
Lay the answer to it all (all) all (all) all (all) all
Lightning hits the house of wax
Women scream and run around
To dance upon the battleground
Like wild demented horses
Hidden in the yard
Underneath the wall
Buried deep below a thousand layers
Lay the answer to it all (all) all (all) all (all) all...
Hidden in the yard
Underneath the wall
Buried deep below a thousand layers
Lay the answer to it all, all, all, all...
Oh...
Oh...
8. Goldfinger (James Bond Main Theme, Shirley Bassey cover)
Goldfinger
He's the man, the man with the Midas touch
A spider's touch
Such a cold finger
Beckons you to enter his web of sin
But don't go in
Golden words he will pour in your ear
But his lies can't disguise what you fear
For a golden girl knows when he's kissed her
It's the kiss of death...
From Mister Goldfinger
Pretty girl, beware of his heart of gold
This heart is cold
Golden words he will pour in your ear
But his lies can't disguise what you fear
For a golden girl knows when he's kissed her
It's the kiss of death...
From Mister Goldfinger
Pretty girl, beware of his heart of gold
This heart is cold
He loves only gold
Only gold...
He loves gold
He loves only gold
He loves gold
Only gold...
9. Paradise (What About Us?) (New Mix)
There’s no sense, the fire burns
When wisdom fails, it changes all
The wheel embodies all that keeps on turning...
Blood red skies, I feel so cold
No innocence, we play our role
The wheel embodies all where are we going
All in all you’d expect the wise to be wiser
Fallen from grace, all and all I guess
We should have known better, ‘cause…
What about us, isn’t it enough?
No, we’re not in paradise
This is who we are, this is what we got
No, it’s not our paradise
But it’s all we want
And it’s all that we’re fighting for
Though it’s not paradise
You and us, or I and them
There comes a time to take a stand
The wheel is watching all, it keeps on burning
The venom works, it’s like a curse
A Trojan horse, when will we learn?
The wheel embodies all that keeps returning
All in all you’d expect the wise to be wiser
Fallen from grace, all and all I guess
We should have known better, ‘cause…
What about us, isn’t it enough?
No, we’re not in paradise
This is who we are, this is what we got
No, it’s not our paradise
But it’s all we want
And it’s all that we’re fighting for
Though it’s not paradise
What about us, isn’t it enough?
No, we’re not in paradise
This is who we are, this is what we got
No, it’s not our paradise
But it’s all we want
And it’s all that we’re fighting for
What about us, isn’t it enough?
No, we’re not in paradise
This is who we are, this is what we got
No, it’s not our paradise
But it’s all we want
And it’s all that we’re fighting for
Though it’s not paradise
What about us?
What about us?
What about us?
Isn’t it enough?
What about us?
What about us?
What about us?
Isn’t it enough?
What about us?
What about us?
What about us?
Isn’t it enough?
What about us?
What about us?
What about us?
Isn’t it enough?
