Within Temptation & The Metropole Orchestra: Black Symphony Page #2

I, Ive been waiting for someone like you

But now you are slipping away ...

Why, why does fate make us suffer

Theres a curse between us, between me and you

I, Ive been waiting for someone like you

But now you are slipping away ...

Why, why does fate make us suffer

Theres a curse between us, between me and you

HAND OF SORROW:

The child without a name grew up to be the hand

To watch you, to shield you, or kill on demand

The choice he'd made he could not comprehend

His blood a grim secret they had to commend

He's torn between his honor and the true love of his life

He prayed for both but was denied

So many dreams were broken and so much was sacrificed

Was it worth the ones we loved and had to leave behind

So many years have passed, who are the noble and the wise?

Will all our sins be justified?

The curse of his powers tormented his life

Obeying the crown was a sinister crime

His soul was tortured by love and by pain

He surely would flee, but the oath made him stay

He's torn between his honor and the true love of his life

He prayed for both but was denied

So many dreams were broken and so much was sacrificed

Was it worth the ones we loved and had to leave behind

So many years have passed, who are the noble and the wise?

Will all our sins be justified?

Please forgive me for the sorrow

For leaving you in fear

For the dreams we had to silence

That's all they'll ever be

Still I'll be the hand that serves you

Though you'll not see that it is me

So many dreams were broken and so much was sacrificed

Was it worth the ones we loved and had to leave behind

So many years have past, who are the noble and the wise?

Will all our sins be justified?

THE HEART OF EVERYTHING

For the pain and the sorrow

caused by my mistakes

When we're back to immortal

humans are to blame

Now I know I will make it

there will be a time

We'll get back our freedom

they can't fake what's inside

I'll face it

cause it's the heart of everything

Open up your eyes

save yourself from fading away now

Don't let it go

Open up your eyes

see what you've become, don't sacrifice

it's truely heart of everything

Open up your eyes

Stay with me, now I'll face it

by the solemn hour

very soon i'll embrace you

On the other side

hear the crowd in the distance

screaming out my faith

Now the voice's are fading

I can feel no more pain

I'll face it

cause it's the heart of everything

open up your eyes

save yourself, from fading away now

don't let it go

open up your eyes

see what you've become, don't sacrifice

it's truly heart of everything

Open up your eyes

Open up your eyes

Open up your eyes

save yourself, from fading away now

don't let it go

Open up your eyes

see what you've become, don't sacrifice

it's truly heart of everything

FORGIVEN:

Couldn't save you from the start

Love you so it hurts my soul

Can you forgive me for trying again

Your silence makes me hold my breath

All the time has passed you by

Ooh, for so long I've tried to

Shield you from the world

Ooh, you couldn't face the

Freedom on your own

Here I am left in silence

You gave up the fight

You left me behind

All that stands forgiven

You'll always be mine

I know deep inside

All that stands forgiven

Watch the clouds drifting away

Still the sun can't warm my face

I know it was destined to go wrong

You were looking for the great escape

To chase your demons away

Ooh, for so long I've tried to

Shield you from the world

Ooh, you couldn't face the

Freedom on your own

Here I am left in silence

You gave up the fight

You left me behind

All that stands forgiven

You'll always be mine

I know deep inside

All that stands forgiven

Oh it's been so long since you've gone

Why not me before you

Why does fate decieve me

Everything's happened so wrong

Why did you leave me in silence

You gave up the fight

You left me behind

All that stands forgiven

You'll always be mine

I know deep inside

All that stands forgiven

SOMEWHERE:

(with Anneke van Giersbergen)

Lost in the darkness,

hoping for a sign

Instead there is 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

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,

try 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

I'll find you somewhere

I'll keep on trying until my dying day

I just need to know whatever's happened,

The truth will free my soul

Wherever you are,

I won't stop searching

Whatever it takes me to go

I'll find you somewhere

I'll keep on trying until my dying day

I just need to know whatever's happened,

The truth will free my soul

THE SWAN SONG:

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

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

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

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

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

MEMORIES:

In this world you tried,

Not leaving me alone behind.

There's no other way,

I pray to the gods let him stay.

The memories ease the pain inside,

And now I know why.

All of my memories keep you near.

In silent moments,

Imagining you here.

All of my memories keep you near,

In silent whispers, silent tears

Made me promise I'd try,

To find my way back in this life.

Hope there is a way,

To give me a sign you're okay.

The memories ease the pain inside,

And now I know why.

All of my memories keep you near.

In silent moments,

Imagining you here.

All of my memories keep you near.

In silent whispers, silent tears.

Together in all these memories,

I see your smile.

All of the memories I hold dear.

Darling you know I'll love you,

Til the end of time.

All of my memories keep you near

In silent moments,

Imagining you here.

All of my memories keep you near,

In silent whispers, silent tears.

All of my memories...

OUR SOLEMN HOUR:

Sanctus, espiritus

Redeem us from our solemn hour

Sanctus, espiritus

Insanity is all around us

Sanctus, espiritus

In my darkest hours

I could not forsee

That the time could turn so fast to this degree

Can't believe my eyes

How can you be so blind

Is the heart of stone no empathy inside

Time keeps on slipping away and we haven't learned
