Within Temptation
Resist
1. The Reckoning
As cold as stone, they march in darkness
Enslaving the young and killing their fathers
But soon they'll know
The path they've chosen
Has carved their faith in stone
[Pre-Chorus]
In blood and tears, a thousand times
We'll rise against, we'll always hold the line
Of reckoning
[Chorus]
Red tears run down like a river
Don't close your eyes, it won't disappear
No fear you wanna end the pain
Don't let go, don't back down
Hold the line
We'll bring the reckoning
In blood and tears, a thousand times
We'll rise against, we'll always hold the line
Of reckoning
[Verse 2]
We're all alone, walking in twilight
The night has been long and so many've fallen
Feel no remorse, light will be breaking
Our freedom is worth it all
[Pre-Chorus]
In blood and tears, a thousand times
We'll rise against, we'll always hold the line
Of reckoning
[Chorus]
Red tears run down like a river
Don't close your eyes, it won't disappear
No fear you wanna end the pain
Don't let go, don't back down
Hold the line
We'll bring the reckoning
[Bridge]
I see your face, find piece of mind
Between the madness and the sadness and the fire burning
The end of war, the great divine
We'll see the day of reckoning
[Outro]
In blood and tears, a thousand times
We'll rise against, we'll always hold the line
In blood and tears, a thousand times
We'll rise against, we'll always hold the line
Of reckoning
We'll bring the reckoning
In blood and tears, a thousand times
We'll rise against, we'll always hold the line
Of reckoning
2. Endless War
You're fighting an endless war
Hunting a miracle
And when you're reaching for the stars
They just cut you down
Looking through the glass
Cannot recognize the ghost that you are seeing
Every step you take on the burning sand
Slowly sinking deeper
All the memories remain all the pain from your broken home
And the walls 'round your heart grew so strong
You can't let go
You keep crawling on
Don't wanna let it go
So you keep holding on
To feel whole
'Cause you're fighting an endless war
Hunting a miracle
And when you reach out for stars
They just cut you down
'Cause you're fighting an endless war
Hunting a miracle
Is it worth dying for?
Or are you blinded by, blinded it all?
Here they come again
Hear them whispering when your heart is bleeding
Like a symphony playing on repeat
Unravelling your feelings
All the memories remain all the strain, you feel broken up
And the weight that you feel pulls you down
You can't let go
You keep crawling on
Don't wanna let it go
You keep holding on
To feel whole
'Cause you're fighting an endless war
Hunting a miracle
And when you reach out for stars
They just cut you down
'Cause you're fighting an endless war
Hunting a miracle
Is it worth dying for
Or are you blinded by, blinded it all?
It's an endless war
But then they cut you down
They cut you down once more
Don't let them cut you down
Cut you down once more
3. Raise Your Banner
Blood for freedom
You're pushing me to the corner
Don't fight with me, don't fight with me, don't fight with me
I'm crowning no man for his armour or rhapsody
For what I see and what I feel
Wake up
I'm defying you, seeing right through you
Once I believed in you
Wake up
Feel what's coming deep within we all know
Blood for freedom
So raise your banner, fight your war
Break the silence, no remorse
Won't die within
Raise your banner, won't you come
Fight the venom, the good die young
Won't die within
I'm feeling the eyes of the fallen, they’re watching me
They make me see, they make me see
I'm feeling the pain how you break them and make them bleed
You make them bleed, you make them bleed
Wake up
I'm defying you, seeing right through you
Once I believed in you
Wake up
Feel what's coming deep within we all know
The way that you torment me
The way that you challenge me
The way that you make me bleed
Blood for freedom
So raise your banner, fight your war
Break the silence, no remorse
Won't die within
Raise your banner, won't you come
Fight the venom, the good die young
Won't die within
Blood for freedom
So raise your banner, fight your war
Break the silence, no remorse
Won't die within
Blood for freedom
Raise your banner, won't you come
Fight the venom, the good die young
Won't die within
When gods are falling
They put all heaven in rage
We're on our own
Our tears keep falling
They're setting fire to the flame
Blood for freedom
4. Supernova
I'm waiting for you, supernova
I'm waiting for you, supernova, supernova, supernova
I'm waiting for you, supernova, supernova, supernova
Drowning in a haze, and I just want to get in deeper
Purple skies with a million stars, I'm falling ground
These days when I'm losing track of time
These days when I'm burning up inside
These days when I'm lost to search the skies
I'm waiting for your last goodbye
'Cause I'm not over it, not over it
I'm waiting for your last goodbye
The kiss of time
Like thunder screaming out for a flash of lightning
Stars are falling down for God's applause
I'm waiting for the light of your supernova
Your last goodbye
I'm waiting for you, supernova, supernova, supernova
I'm waiting for you
When the lights go down, I'm still here, and I'm singing for you
When the lights go down, I can't let the music fade
I dive in deep and soar so high
I blow the ashes to free the sky
On a hill, I'm here to say goodbye
I'm waiting for your last goodbye
'Cause I'm not over it, not over it
I'm waiting for your last goodbye
The kiss of time
Like thunder screaming out for a flash of lightning
Stars are falling down for God's applause
I'm waiting for the light of your supernova
Your last goodbye
I'm waiting for you
As long as I dream, it ain't over, ain't over
I'll bring the chains of gravity
Oh, I long for your love
Yeah, I long for your love
My heart is fast between the stars
Drowning in a haze, and I just want to get in deeper
I'm waiting for your last goodbye
'Cause I'm not over it, not over it
I'm waiting for your last goodbye
The kiss of time
Like thunder screaming out for a flash of lightning
Stars are falling down for God's applause
I'm waiting for the light of your supernova
Your last goodbye
I'm waiting for you, supernova
I'm waiting for you, supernova, supernova, supernova
I'm waiting for you
I'm waiting for you, supernova, supernova, supernova
Drowning in a haze, and I just want to get in deeper, deeper, deeper, deeper
5. Holy Ground
Hey
It's been a while since I told you that I hate you
You've turned the truth inside out
Don't turn your back when I face you, or I'll make you
You turned my world upside down
You get inside my head, I want you out
'Cause I've been betrayed on holy ground
Burying the truth with lies
Fed up how you justify
And I hate it
And I hate it
You're so despicable
When you're acting unreasonable
And I hate it
And I hate it
Your words like firing guns, bullets raining
The way you hurt me 'cause you never wanna face it
Your words like firing guns, bullets raining
Bullets raining, you never wanna face it
But what does it take to break you, to awake you?
To make you bow and spit it out?
Doesn't matter if I hate you or embrace you?
Nothing makes you turn around
You got inside my head, I want you out
'Cause I've been betrayed on holy ground
Holy ground, yeah
Burying the truth with lies
Fed up how you justify
And I hate it
And I hate it
You're so despicable
When you're acting unreasonable
And I hate it
And I hate it
Your words like firing guns, bullets raining
The way you hurt me 'cause you never wanna face it
Your words like firing guns, bullets raining
Bullets raining, you never wanna face it
The way you hurt me 'cause you never wanna face it
Burying the truth with lies
Fed up how you justify
And now I hate it
And now I hate it
You're so despicable
When you're acting unreasonable
And now I hate it
And now I hate it
Your words like firing guns, bullets raining
The way you hurt me 'cause you never wanna face it
Your words like firing guns, bullets raining
Bullets raining, you never wanna face it, face it
Bullets raining, you never wanna face it
6. In Vain
Beautify all I know, keep on dancing
Let it all turn to gold
When the dream touches ground
The demons walk in, and I know what awaits
A priceless glory
Memento mori
All for nothing now
I know
Nothing of the heart remains
Even if we could've stayed
We've been here long enough
Long enough to know it's all in vain
Everything we tried to say
Up until the final day
I guess we said enough
Said enough to know it's all in vain
All in vain
All in vain
All in vain
All in vain
See the world through a tear, keep on breathing
Salt has dried, you're not here
Just a heartbeat away, the demons walk in
Now I know it's too late
A priceless glory
Memento mori
All for nothing now
I know
Nothing of the heart remains
Even if we could've stayed
We've been here long enough
Long enough to know it's all in vain
Everything we tried to say
Up until the final day
I guess we said enough
Said enough to know it's all in vain
All in vain
All in vain
All in vain
All in vain
Took the memories, but I can feel them fading
All our vanities, there's nothing left to save me now
I can take 'em 'cross the border
I can take 'em 'cross the border
Leaving everything we have for you to find it
Every time I walk away, I wanna turn around
I wanna turn around
Nothing of the heart remains
Even if we could've stayed
We've been here long enough
Long enough to know it's all in vain
Everything we tried to say
Up until the final day
I guess we said enough
We said enough to know it's all in vain
I guess we said enough
We said enough to know it's all in vain
All in vain
All in vain
All in vain
All in vain
7. Firelight
I pay my dues
All for truth
Can't leave it here and leave it here
And leave it here forgotten
Silence rules
Spineless fools
You'll never learn, never learn
Never learn to break away
Oh, why can't we rise again?
When all the days go by the firelight
We'll never fade out in the night
And we are estranged, but drawn to the flame
We are like fire to the rain
Isn't it strange that love is in the way?
It never goes away (never goes away)
I paid my dues (my dues, my dues)
All for truce
I leave it here, leave it here
Leave it here forgotten
Life, it rules
Over truth
We'll never learn, never learn
Never learn to break away
Oh, why can't we rise again?
When all the days go by the firelight
We'll never fade out in the night
And we are estranged, but drawn to the flame
We are like fire to the rain
Isn't it strange that love is in the way?
Isn't it strange that love is in the way?
When all the days go by the firelight
We'll never fade out in the night
And we are estranged, but drawn to the flame
We are like fire to the rain
Isn't strange that love is in the way?
It never goes away
Away
8. Mad World
Can't control the restless part of me
Bowing down our heads to love and greed
I wonder
Can't deny, it's in my head
A world in flames, the blood we shed
Walls are falling down on us
We wanna scream our pain
And break away from the dark
Caught in this wicked game
We know that nothing stays the same
'Cause we're living in a mad world
We're living in a mad world
We're living in a mad world
We're living in a mad world
Trying to hold on to all we know
But one day turn around and let it go
Restless
Can't deny the dreams we had
Are glowing sparks, the fire ain't dead
Walls are falling down on us
We wanna scream our pain
And break away from the dark
Caught in this wicked game
We know that nothing stays the same
'Cause we're living in a mad world
We're living in a mad world
We're living in a mad world
We're living in a mad world
We hate, we love, we're fighting
This world is tearing us apart
And piece by piece we're crumbling
We're crumbling
We wanna scream our pain
And break away from the dark
Caught in this wicked game
We know that nothing stays the same
'Cause we're living in a mad world
We're living in a mad world
We're living in a mad world
We're living in a mad world
We're living in a mad world
We're living in a mad world
We're living in a mad world
We're living in a mad world
9. Mercy Mirror
We are forever as one
In what remains
You're in my blood
From the cradle to the grave.
And I don't like to think about the pieces
All the cracks and the bricks that still remain
If I could breathe...I'd ask you
To look in my mercy mirror
I need you more than I know
To look in my mercy mirror
Cause I'm not ready to let you go
Now I know, now I know
I'm not ready to let you go
Now I know, now I know
I'm not ready to let you go
My heart, My heart
Like the planet the sun forgot
We're down
Holding to the light that I have lost
More than words that the silence teaches
How to see and to feel what is real
Until somebody reaches my soul
To look in my mercy mirror
I need you more than I know
To look in my mercy mirror
Cause I'm not ready to let you go
Now I know, now I know
I'm not ready to let you go
Now I know, now I know
I'm not ready to let you go
It's a wicked game I play
How I use and turn to waste
No turning round, touching ground
What we had was so much more than I'd realize
If I could I'd embrace you...embrace you
And to look in my mercy mirror
I need you more than I know
And to look in my mercy mirror
Cause I'm not ready to let you go
Now I know, now I know
I'm not ready to let you go
Now I know, now I know
I'm not ready to let you go
I'm not ready to let you go
10. Trophy Hunter
Breathe, I need to breathe
And wipe off the scarlet red
Make my heart slow down
I know I will find you here
You are trophy hunting
Kill for nothing
Tired of watching
Turning tables
I can't let go
I'll set them free from you
I won't give in
You, you won't escape me, I'll rise from the deep
In this final moment, no words left to say
I can't let you be when life fades away
You, you won't escape me 'cause I'll set you free
Time, I need more time
But patience is hard for me
Feel my blood rushing
Slowly I'm closing in
Trophy hunting
Kill for nothing
Tired of watching
Turning tables
I can't let go
I'll set them free from you
I won't give in
You, you won't escape me, I'll rise from the deep
In this final moment, no words left to say
I can't let you be when life fades away
You, you won't escape me 'cause I'll set you free
In the end, we go our own way when time comes, no one can stay
Why is nothing ever easy and the truth is never straight?
Slowly learning how to be me
All alone but I can see
That I never will give in, no always free
You, you won't escape me, I'll rise from the deep
In this final moment, no words left to say
I can't let you be when life fades away
You, you won't escape me 'cause I'll set you free
