Within Temptation
Don't Pray for Me (digital)
1. Don't Pray for Me
I’m not lost in the dark.
I’m not blind to what I see.
I know the river is wide and the water is deep.
I feel the cold, my heart skips a beat.
I don’t need your absolution, so don’t hold that sword over me.
For my confessions I don’t need a church,
I don’t need salt to know where it hurts.
Don’t pray for me, no…
I cannot breathe for you.
You’re trying over and over, denying what I feel.
And every time you bow down your head
to pray.. Don’t pray for me, don’t pray for me!
Oh, I needed a revolution. I never had a war in mind and now the river runs dry and the fall is deep. The truth is dark and makes us bleed.
In hell is where I stand, it’s where I find my inner strength.
For my confessions I don’t need a church.
I don’t need salt to know where it hurts.
Don’t pray for me, no…
I cannot breathe for you.
You’re trying over and over, denying what I feel.
And every time you bow down your head
to pray.. Don’t pray for me, don’t pray for me!
2. Shed My Skin
Carry on your fire and raise your head. And everything comes to end, when hearts asunder.
When you gather like birds of prey.
Rejoice what is broken and turning away. There’s no rest cause these wounds won’t heal.
I can’t let it go, can’t let it go.
No matter how deep we’re falling, for our calling.
Can’t look back because it leads me to nowhere.
What is awaiting, I’ll embrace it.
In the end, all I know, I have to face it.
Carry on your fire and raise your head and save yourself from their collective projection.
Carry on your fire and raise your head and everything comes to end, when hearts asunder.
Forgive me, release me, I shed my skin. This pain is awakening what lies deep within.
You kill me, as lightning your words strike in. Oh, everything’s changing now that I shed my skin.
That I shed my skin.
I know heaven is not my home.
I feel like I’m choking and I’m playing their game.
Oh, I can’t hold on to yesterday.
I cannot hold on, cannot hold on.
No matter how deep we’re falling, for our calling.
Can’t look back because it leads me to nowhere.
What is awaiting, I’ll embrace it.
In the end, all I know, I have to face it.
When hearts asunder.
Forgive me, release me, I shed my skin
This pain is awakening what lies deep within.
You kill me, as lightning your words strike in. Oh, everything’s changing now that I shed my skin.
We shed our skin, we don’t wanna be broken, broken.
We shed our skin, we don’t wanna be broken, broken.
Carry on your fire and raise your head, and everything comes to end, when hearts asunder.
Forgive me, release me, I shed my skin. This pain is awakening what lies deep within.
You kill me, as lightning your words strike in. Oh, everything’s changing now that I shed my skin.
That I shed my skin,
that I shed my skin,
that I shed my skin,
that I shed my skin!
3. The Purge
Got no scars cut on my skin,
only my truth is wearing thin
and it hollows me.
It hollows me.
I hate the darkness of my past.
The cold rebelling, it drives me mad
and it follows me.
It’s carving the heart out of me.
I’ve got to bleed it out.
All my thought intoxicated ‘cause the weight on me.
It buries me alive.
It pulls me down right into the darkness.
It pulls me down and I can’t resist.
Let me feel it ‘cause I don’t know, I can’t see.
All I feel is I'm breaking up.
Oh, can’t you see it’s taking over, over me.
Can’t you see?
Yeah, you want me to fight it and you want me to let go.
Yeah, you tell me to fight it and you damn me if I don’t.
So, let me bleed it out and purge me.
I can't see, no I can't see, no I can't see.
And I feel I'm breaking.
My defiance made me strong
but now I’m doubting what I have done
and it's killing me, it's killing me.
I hate to see what I’ve become.
I find no peace, no justice done,
This gravity, it's carving the heart out of me.
I’ve got to bleed it out.
All my thoughts intoxicated, 'cause the weight on me
It buries me alive.
It pulls me down right into the darkness.
It pulls me down and I can’t resist.
Let me feel it 'cause I don’t know, I can’t see.
All I feel is I'm breaking up.
Oh can’t you see it’s taking over, over me.
Can’t you see?
Yeah, you want me to fight it and you want me to let go.
Yeah, you tell me to fight it and you damn me if I don’t.
So, let me bleed it out and purge me,
I can't see, no I can't see, no I can't see.
4. Entertain You
Don't be mistaken
Your bloody time's up
This ain't no game no we're not here to entertain you.
You get your fix sitting on your throne.
You want it all and the price, it doesn’t matter.
The world is yours and you think you know it all, know it all.
I know that smile so I should have known.
You sold me out for a reckless bet you burnt me.
Of the ground, now won't back down anymore.
You think you own me but I wouldn't be so sure.
You want a battle but you’re gonna lose a war.
Go to hell I'm not here to entertain you.
Just walk away or face the showdown.
I won't bow I don't care about the bleeding.
cause our freedom's undefeated
My soul on fire, burning desire
make no mistake cause the stakes are getting higher.
Go to hell, I'm not here to entertain you.
I'm not here to entertain you.
Don't be mistaken.
Your bloody time's up.
This ain't no game, no we're not here to entertain you.
Pull your face like you didn't know.
Like you cared and we'd buy your sorry story.
Blame the sea, blame the moon for all
don't you see we're the ones with the redemption
The time keeps turning round, turning round
Now the time is gone you're going down
You think you own me but I wouldn't be so sure.
Go to hell I'm not here to entertain you.
Just walk away or face the showdown.
I won't bow, I don't care about the bleeding.
cause our freedom's undefeated.
My soul on fire, burning desire.
Make no mistake cause the stakes are getting higher.
Go to hell, I'm not here to entertain you
I'm not here to entertain you.
In your mind you deny all the suffering
You've take sides cause you lost it ain’t your fight now
You don't care anymore cause you lost the crown now
We're not here to entertain you.
Go to hell I'm not here to entertain you.
Just walk away or face the showdown.
I won't bow, I don't care about the bleeding.
cause our freedom's undefeated.
My soul on fire, burning desire.
Make no mistake cause the stakes are getting higher.
Go to hell, I'm not here to entertain you
I'm not here to entertain you.
