The Heart of Everything

Within Temptation The Heart of Everything Lyrics
1.Howling

We've been seeing what you wanted,
god has cornered us right now.

Falling asleep from my vanity
might cost us our lives.

I hear them getting closer,
their howls are sending chills down my spine.

Our time is running out now,
they're coming down the hills from behind.

When we start killing,
it's all coming down right now.
From the nightmare we've created,
I want to be awakened somehow...
(I want to be awakened right now!)
When we start killing,
it all will be falling down.
From the heaven that we're in,
all we are has faded away.
When we start killing.


We've been searching on
and on but there's no trace to be found.

It's like they all have just vanished,
but I know they're around.

I feel them getting closer,
their howls are sending chills down my spine.

Our time is running out now,
they're coming down the hills from behind.

When we start killing,
it's all coming down right now.
From the nightmare we created,
I want to be awakened somehow...
(I want to be awakened right now!)
When we start killing,
it all will be falling down.
From the heaven that we're in,
all we are has faded away.

When we start killing.

When we start killing.

I feel them getting closer,
their howls are sending chills down my spine.

Our time is running out now,
they're coming down the hills from behind.

The sun is rising.
The screams are gone.
To many have fallen.
Few stil stand tall.

Is this the ending,
of what we've begone?

Will we remember,
what we've done wrong?

When we start killing,
it's all coming down right now.
From the nightmare we created,
I want to be awakened somehow...
(I want to be awakened right now!)
When we start killing,
it all will be falling down.
From the heaven that we're in,
all we are has faded away.
When we start killing.

2.What Have You Done

What have you done now?

I know I better stop trying
You know that there's no denying
I won't show mercy on you now
I know I should stop beleiving
I know that there's no retreating
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
(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?


Would you mind if I killed you?
Would you mind if I tryed to cause you have
Turned into my worst enemy?
You carry hate that I feel
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
(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?

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
(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
(what have you done now?)
Why? Why does fate make us suffer?
There's a curse between us
Between me and you


3.Frozen

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

I won't 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
What can I do?
Can't tell the reasons
I did it for you!
Well I still need to try
I sacrifice the earth
You say that I am frozen
What can I do?!

I can feel your sorrow

You won't forgive me
But I know you'll be alright
It tears me apart that you will never know
But I have to let go

Tell me I'm frozen
What can I do?
Can't tell the reasons
I did it for you!
Well I still need to try
I sacrifice the earth
You say that I am frozen
What can I do?!

Everything will slip away
Shattered pieces 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
What can I do?
Frozen
Tell me I'm frozen
What can I do?
Can't tell the reasons
I did it for you!
Well I still need to try
I sacrifice the earth
You say that I am frozen


4.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 foresee
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
Time keeps on slipping away
and we haven't learned
so in the end they won't have figured

sanctus, espiritus,
redeem us from our solemn hour
sanctus, espiritus,
insanity is all around us
sanctus, espiritus
is this what we deserve
can we break free
from chains of neverending agony

Aren't they themselves to blame
the misery, the pain
That I will let go
alone and let it grow
if we can't restrain
The beast that dwells inside
it will find its way somehow,
somewhere in time

Will we remember all of the suffering
cause if we bet in vain

sanctus, espiritus,
redeem us from our solemn hour
sanctus, espiritus,
insanity is all around us
sanctus, espiritus
is this what we deserve
can we break free
from chains of neverending agony

santus, espiritus

sanctus, espiritus,
redeem us from our solemn hour
sanctus, espiritus,
insanity is all around us
sanctus, espiritus
is this what we deserve
can we break free
from chains of neverending agony

sanctus, espiritus,
redeem us from our solemn hour
sanctus, espiritus,
insanity is all around us
sanctus, espiritus
is this what we deserve
can we break free
from chains of neverending agony


5.Heart Of Everything

For the pain and the sorrow
caused by my mistakes
When we're back to immortal
Whom is all 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 truly 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 the heart of everything

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 the heart of everything


6.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 made
he could not comprehend
He's got a grim secret
they had to command

He's torn between his honor
and the true love of his life
He prayed for both but was denied

So many dreams are broken
and so much we sacrifice
Was it worth the ones we loved
and had to leave behind
So many years have past
toward a noble land of lies
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 are broken
and so much we sacrifice
Was it worth the ones we loved
and had to leave behind
So many years have past
toward a noble land of lies
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 there'll ever be
Still I'll be the hand that saves you
Though you'll not see that it is me

So many dreams are broken
and so much we sacrifice
Was it worth the ones we loved
and had to leave behind
So many years have past
toward a noble land of lies
Will all our sins be justified?


7.Cross

Nothing's ever changed,
Just a 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 I'm in agony
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 lie

Release me from this cross
after all these years
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

If my heart is too cold,
can we open the door?
Can we ever find it all
and save my heart?

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
If my heart is too cold,

can we open the door?
Can we ever find it all
and save my heart?


8.Final Destination

I've given my final moment,
But it's turning back on me
On every corner I turn i can feel it waiting
And just a moment of awareness,
I can easily slip away.
And then I'll be gone FOREVER!

I'm searching
I'm finding for a way to get through.
To turn it away.

It's reigning, always trying.
Feel the hands of fate
They're suffocating.
Tell me what's the reason?
Is it only inside my head?
Can't take it no more.

All around me I see danger
And it's closing in on me
Every second I can hear it
Breathing
I can't stand the feeling inside of me.
'Cause the speed of me is jaded.
And it will be my end.
I'm searching
I'm finding for a way to get through
To turn it away.

It's reigning,
always trying.
Feel the hands of fate
They're suffocating.
Tell me what's the reason?
Is it only inside my head?
Can't take it no more.

But no one faced
what's coming my way.
And I will let my fear fade away
Whatever may be, I'll have to find out.

It's reigning,
always trying.
Feel the hands of fate
They're suffocating.
Tell me what's the reason?
Is it only inside my head?
Can't take it no more.


9.All I Need

I'm dying to catch my breath
oh why don't i ever learn
I've lost all my trust
that i'm sure we try 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 turn me down
you're far from the door now
don't let it close


He only had to go
I wish I could let it go
I know that I'm only one step away
From turning 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 turn it down
what's left of me
make my heart a better place

i've 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 turn 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


10.Truth Beneath The Rose

Give me strength to face the truth
The doubt within my soul
No longer I can justify
The blood shed in his name
Is it a sin to seek the truth,
the truth beneath the rose?
Pray with me so I will find
a gate to Heaven's door

I believed
it would justify the means
It had a hold over me

wait and act to see
the cruelty of the beast
it is the darkest side of me
(forgive me my sins)
The field of my dreams
decieved all I have seen
Forgive me for what I have been
(forgive me my sins)

Pray for me
'cause I have lost my faith in holy wars
This paradise denied to me
'cause I can't take no more

Has darkness taken over me,
consumed my mortal soul?
All my virtues sacrificed ,
can Heaven be so cruel?

I believed
it would justify the means
it had a hold over me

Wait and act to see
the cruelty of the beast
it is the darkest side of me
(forgive me my sins)
The field of my dreams
decieved all I have seen
Forgive me for what I have been
(forgive me my sins)

I'm hoping, I'm praying
I won't get lost between two hearts
Follow the sin
the truth lies in between
Give me the strength
to face the wrong that I have done
Now that I know
the darkest side of me

How can love be your salvation
and justify the pain
that we have caused through all the times
Will I learn what's true, the sacred
Will I redeem my soul
Will truth set me free?

Wait and act to see
the cruelty of the beast
it is the darkest side of me
(forgive me my sins)
The field of my dreams
decieved all I have seen
Forgive me for what I have been
(forgive me my sins)


11.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

Ooo, for so long
I've tried to shield you from the world
Ooo, 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 is forgiven
You'll always be mine
I know deep inside
All that's done is 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 greatest escape
To chase your demons away

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