An Acoustic Night At The

Within Temptation An Acoustic Night At The Lyrics
1.Towards The End

Lyricist:Martijn SpierenburgSharon den AdelRobert Westerholt
Writer(s):Martijn Spierenburg

They turn against
The world we know
Now our destiny
Will be decided
We have to send our brothers in arms
With pain in our hearts
We watched them go
Will they return?
Truth is we had no choice
We'll try to shield those we can
No better world
Let this end
Mothers cry
Our boys die
But we'll stand until the end


2.Stand My Ground

Lyricist:Daniel GibsonHan KooreneefSharon den AdelRobert Westerholt
Writer(s):Daniel GibsonHan Kooreneef

I can see
When you stay low nothing happens
Does it feel right ?
Late at night
Things I thought I put behind me
Haunt my mind

I just know there's no escape now
Once it sets its eyes on you
But I won't run, have to stare it in the eye

Stand my ground, I wont give in
No more denying, I've got to face it
Won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside
If I dont make it, someone else will
Stand my ground

It's all around
Getting stronger, coming closer
Into my world
I can feel that it's time for me to face it
Can I take it?

Though this might just be the ending
Of the life I held so dear
But I won't run, there's no turning back from here

Stand my ground, I wont give in
No more denying, I've got to face it
Won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside
If I dont make it, someone else will
Stand my ground

All I know for sure is I'm trying
I will always stand my ground

Stand my ground, I wont give in
I wont give up
No more denying, I'v got to face it
Won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside
If I dont make it, someone else will


Stand my ground, I wont give in
No more denying, I've got to face it
Won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside
If I dont make it, someone else will
Stand my ground


3.Caged

Lyricist:Robert WesterholtSharon den Adel
Writer(s):Robert Westerholt

These are the darkest clouds
To have surrounded me
Now I find my self alone caught in a cage
There's no flower to be found in here
Not withering
Or pale to me
Everyone with a friendly face
Seems to hide some secret inside

He told me he loved me
While he laughed in my face
He just led me astray
He took my virtue
I feel so cold inside
Sorrow has frozen my mind

My heart is covered
With thoughts entangled
How could it ever have felt so real?
Is there a place more lonely than I feel within?
Could I have seen?
Could I have known?
I just took it as the truth
Everyone with a friendly face
Seems to hide some secret inside

He told me he loved me
While he laughed in my face
He just led me astray
He took my virtue
I feel so cold inside
Sorrow has frozen my mind

Always there to remind me
It keeps me from believing
That someone might be there
Who'll free me and never ever leave me

He told me he loved me
While he laughed in my face
He just led me astray
He took my virtue
I feel so cold inside
Sorrow has frozen my mind


4.All I Need

Lyricist:Sharon den AdelRobert Westerholt
Writer(s):Sharon den Adel

I'm dying to catch my breath
Oh why don't I ever learn?
I've lost all my trust,
though I've surely tried to turn it around

Can you still see the heart of me?
All my agony fades away
when you hold me in your embrace

Don't tear me down for all I need
Make my heart a better place
Give me something I can believe
Don't tear me down
You've opened the door now, don't let it close

I'm here on the edge again
I wish I could let it go
I know that I'm only one step away
from turning it around

Can you still see the heart of me?
All my agony fades away
when you hold me in your embrace

Don't tear me down for all I need
Make my heart a better place
Give me something I can believe
Don't tear it down, what's left of me
Make my heart a better place

I tried many times but nothing was real
Make it fade away, don't break me down
I want to believe that this is for real
Save me from my fear
Don't tear me down

Don't tear me down for all I need
Make my heart a better place

Don't tear me down for all I need
Make my heart a better place
Give me something I can believe
Don't tear it down, what's left of me
Make my heart a better place
Make my heart a better place


5.Frozen

Lyricist:Robert WesterholtDaniel GibsonSharon den Adel
Writer(s):Robert WesterholtDaniel Gibson

I can't feel my senses
I just feel the cold
All colors seem to fade away
I can't reach my soul

I would stop running,
If I knew there was a chance
It tears me apart to sacrifice it all
But I'm forced to let go

Tell me I'm frozen but what can I do?
Can't tell the reasons I did it for you
When lies turn into truth I sacrificed for you
You say that I'm frozen but what can I do?

I can feel your sorrow
You won't forgive me,
But I know you'll be all right
It tears me apart that you will never know
But I have to let go

Tell me I'm frozen but what can I do?
Can't tell the reasons I did it for you
When lies turn into truth I sacrificed for you
You say that I'm frozen but what can I do?

Everything will slip way
Shattered peaces will remain
When memories fade into emptiness
Only time will tell its tale
If it all has been in vain

I can't feel my senses
I just feel the cold
Frozen...
But what can I do?
Frozen...

Tell me I'm frozen but what can I do?
Can't tell the reasons I did it for you
When lies turn into truth I sacrificed for you
You say that I'm frozen, frozen...


6.Somewhere

Lyricist:Sharon den AdelRobert Westerholt
Writer(s):Sharon den Adel

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 is 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.

Wherever you are, I won't stop searching.
Whatever it takes, I need to know.


7.The Cross

Lyricist:Sharon den AdelMartijn SpierenburgRobert Westerholt
Writer(s):Sharon den AdelMartijn Spierenburg

Nothing's ever changed, you still turn away
You've washed your hands
You've made that all too clear
You just keep on living this lie

You refuse to see, you're denying me
The cross I bear
But you don't seem to care
Even Judas knew he had lied

I keep wondering why I'm still calling your name through my
tears

Why have you waited to embrace me, my dear?
Cold is your silence, denying what is real
I'm still wondering why I'm still calling your name, my dear

I'm sorry if you can't stand the naked truth
All you see is how you want it to be
So you keep on living your life

Release me from this cross after all these years
Oh call my name and help me with this weight
Even though it comes far too late

I keep wondering why I'm still calling your name through my
tears

Why have you waited to embrace me, my dear?
Cold is your silence, denying what is real
I'm still wondering why I'm still calling your name
And I wonder, oh I wonder

In my heart I still hope you will open the door
You can purify it all, answer my call

Why? Why?

Why have you waited to embrace me, my dear?
Cold is your silence, denying what is real
I'm still wondering why I'm still calling your name
And I wonder, oh I wonder

In my heart I still hope you will open the door
You can purify it all, answer my call


8.Pale

Lyricist:Robert WesterholtSharon den Adel
Writer(s):Robert Westerholt

The world seems not the same,
though I know nothing has changed.
It's all my state of mind,
I can't leave it all behind.
I have to stand up to be stronger.

I have to try to break free
from the thoughts in my mind.
Use the time that I have,
I can't say goodbye,
have to make it right.
Have to fight, cause I know
in the end it's worthwhile,
that the pain that I feel slowly fades away.
It will be alright.

I know, should realise
time is precious, it is worthwhile.
Despite how I feel inside,
have to trust it will be alright.
Have to stand up to be stronger.

Oh, this night is too long.
I have no strength to go on.
No more pain, I'm floating away.
Through the mist I see the face
of an angel, who calls my name.
I remember you're the reason I have to stay


9.What Have You Done

Lyricist:Robert WesterholtDaniel GibsonSharon den Adel
Writer(s):Robert WesterholtDaniel Gibson

Would you mind if I hurt you?
Understand that I need to
Wish that I had other choices
than to harm the one I love

What have you done now!

I know I'd better stop trying
You know that there's no denying
I won't show mercy on you now
I know, should stop believing
I know, there's no retrieving
It's over now, what have you done?

What have you done now!

I, I've been waiting for someone like you
But now you are slipping away... oh
(What have you done now!)
Why, why does fate make us suffer?
There's a curse between us, between me and you

What have you done! What have you done!
What have you done! What have you done!
What have you done now!
What have you done! What have you done!
What have you done! What have you done!
What have you done now!

Would you mind if I killed you?
Would you mind if I tried to?
Cause you have turned into my worst enemy
You carry hate that I don't feel
It's over now
What you done?

What have you done now!

I, I've been waiting for someone like you
But now you are slipping away... oh
(What have you done now!)
Why, why does fate make us suffer?
There's a curse between us, between me and you

What have you done! What have you done!
What have you done! What have you done!
What have you done now!
What have you done! What have you done!
What have you done! What have you done!
What have you done now!
What have you done now, What have you done?...

I will not fall, won't let it go
We will be free when it ends

I, I've been waiting for someone like you
But now you are slipping away... oh
(What have you done now!)
Why, why does fate make us suffer
There's a curse between us, between me and you

I, I've been waiting for someone like you
But now you are slipping away... oh
(What have you done now!)
Why, why does fate make us suffer
There's a curse between us, between me and you


10.Memories

Lyricist:Sharon den AdelMartijn SpierenburgRobert Westerholt
Writer(s):Sharon den AdelMartijn Spierenburg

In this world you tried
not leaving me alone behind.
There's no other way.
I prayed to the gods let him stay.
The memories ease the pain inside,
now I know why.

All of my memories keep you near.
In silent moments imagine you here.
All of my memories keep you near.
Your silent whispers, silent tears.

Made me promise I'd try
to find my way back in this life.
I hope there is a way
to give me a sign you're ok.
Reminds me again it's worth it all
so I can go on.

All of my memories keep you near.
In silent moments imagine you here.
All of my memories keep you near.
Your silent whispers, silent tears.

Together in all these memories
I see your smile.
All the memories I hold dear.
Darling, you know I will love you
until the end of time.

All of my memories keep you near.
In silent moments imagine you here.
All of my memories keep you near.
Your silent whispers, silent tears.

All of my memories....


11.Forgiven

Lyricist:Sharon den AdelMartijn SpierenburgMartijn Westerholt
Writer(s):Sharon den AdelMartijn Spierenburg

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
Time has passed you by

Oh, for so long, I've tried to shield you from the world
Oh, 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's done's forgiven
You'll always be mine
I know deep inside
All that's done's forgiven

I watched 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

Oh, for so long, I've tried to shield you from the world
Oh, 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's done's forgiven
You'll always be mine
I know deep inside
All that's done's forgiven

I've been so lost since you've gone
Why not me before you?
Why did fate deceive me?
Everything turned out so wrong
Why did you leave me in silence?

You gave up the fight
You left me behind
All that's done's forgiven
You'll always be mine
I know deep inside
All that's done's forgiven


12.Utopia

Lyricist:Sharon den AdelDaniel GibsonJules Buckley
Writer(s):Sharon den AdelDaniel Gibson
Mixing:Jules Buckley

The burning desire to live and roam free
It shines in the dark
And it grows within me
You're holding my hand but you don't understand
So where I am going, you won't be in the end

I'm dreaming in colours
Of getting the chance
I'm dreaming of China; the perfect romance
In search of the door to open your minds
In search of the cure of mankind

Help us we're drowning
So close up inside

Why does it rain, rain, rain down on Utopia?
Why does it have to kill the ideal of who we are?
Why does it rain, rain, rain down on Utopia?
How will the lights die down, telling us who we are?

I'm searching for answers
not given for free
You're hating inside, as they lie within me?
You're holding my hand but you don't understand
So you're taking the road all alone in the end

I'm dreaming in colours, no boundaries nowhere
I'm dreaming the dreams we all seem to share
In search of the door, to open your mind
In search for the cure of mankind

Help us we're drowning
So close up inside

Why does it rain, rain, rain down on Utopia
Why does it have to kill the ideal of who we are?
Why does it rain, rain, rain, down on Utopia?
How will the lights die down, telling us who we are?

Where can we go?
What can we do with all that we know?
Where can we go?
Where do we turn to from here

Why does it rain, rain, rain down on Utopia
Why does it have to kill the ideal of who we are?
Why does it rain, rain, rain down on Utopia
And when the lights die down, telling us who we are
