The Unforgiving

Within Temptation The Unforgiving Lyrics
1.Why Not Me

Some may call it a curse
A life like mine
But others, a blessing
It's certainly a lonely life
But a fullfilling one and the best
It's my cross to bear
And I'll bear it gladly
Someone has to take a stand against evil
WHY SHOULD IT NOT BE ME!!!


2.Shot In The Dark

I've been left out alone
Like a damn criminal
I've been praying for help
'Cause I can't take it all
I'm not done
It's not over
Now I'm fighting this war
Since the day of the fall
And I'm desperately
Holding on to it all
But I'm lost
I'm so damn lost
Oh I wish it was over
And I wish you were here
Still I'm hoping that somehow
'Cause your soul is on fire
A shot in the dark
What did they aim for
When they missed your heart?
I breathe underwater
It's all in my hands
What can I do? Don't let it fall apart
A shot in the dark
A shot in the dark

In the blink of an eye
I can see through your eyes
As I'm lying awake
I'm still hearing the cries
And it hurts
Hurts me so bad...
And I'm wondering why
I still fight in this life
'Cause I've lost all my faith
In this damn bitter strife
And it's sad
It's so damn sad
Oh I wish it was over
And I wish you were here
Still I'm hoping that somehow
'Cause your soul is on fire
A shot in the dark
What did they aim for
When they missed your heart?
I breathe underwater
It's all in my hands
What can I do? Don't let it fall apart
A shot in the dark
A shot in the dark
A shot in the dark
A shot in the dark
A shot in the dark

I feel you fading away...
I feel you fading away...
I feel you fading away...
I feel you fading away...

'Cause your soul is on fire
A shot in the dark
What did they aim for
When they missed your heart?
I breathe underwater
It's all in my hands
What can I do? Don't let it fall apart
Oh, your soul is on fire
A shot in the dark
What did they aim for
When they missed your heart?
I breathe underwater
It's all in my hands
What can I do? Don't let it fall apart
A shot in the dark
A shot in the dark
A shot in the dark
A shot in the dark
A shot in the dark


3.In The Middle Of The Night

I've been walking this road of desire
I've been begging for blood on the wall
I don't care if I'm playing with fire
I'm aware that I'm frozen inside
I have known all along
So much more going on, no denying
But I know I'm not standing alone
You've been playing my mind through my wishes
You can feel that we're haunting the truth
Don't know - I can't hold on
always losing control
In the middle of the night
I don't understand what's going on
It's a world gone astray
In the middle of the night
I can't let it out
Someone keeps searching
And shatters your life
It will never be afraid
In the middle of the night

No more tears, no, 'cause nothing else matters
I've been closing my eyes for too long
Only vengeance will make me feel better
There's no rest till I know that it's done
You've been playing my mind through my wishes
You can feel that we're haunting the truth
Don't know - I can't hold on
always losing control
In the middle of the night
I don't understand what's going on
It's a world gone astray
In the middle of the night
I can't let it out
Someone keeps searching
And shatters your life
It will never be afraid
In the middle of the night

In the middle of the night
In the middle of the night
In the middle of the night
I don't understand what's going on
It's a world gone astray
In the middle of the night
I can't let it out
Someone keeps searching
And shatters your life
It will never be afraid
In the middle of the night


4.Faster

I can't see,'Cause it's burning deep inside.
Like gasoline, a fire running wild
No more fear,'Cause I'm getting closer now.
So unreal, but I like it anyhow.
I go faster and faster and faster
and faster and faster and faster and faster.
And I can't live in a fairytale of lies.
And I can't hide from the feeling 'cause it's right.
And I go faster and faster and faster and faster for love.
I can't live in a fairytale of lies.

I can feel,That you've mezmerized my heart.
I feel so free, I'm alive, I'm breaking out.
I won't give in,'Cause I'm proud of all my scars.
And I can see I've been wasting too much time.
I go faster and faster and faster
and faster and faster and faster and faster.
And I can't live in a fairytale of lies.
And I can't hide from the feeling 'cause it's right.
And I go faster and faster and faster and faster for love.
I can't live in a fairytale of lies.

And I can't live in a fairytale of lies.
And I can't hide from the feeling 'cause it's right.
And I go faster and faster and faster and faster for love.
I can't live in a fairytale of lies.
A fairytale of lies.


5.Fire And Ice

Every word you're saying is a lie
Run away my dear
But every sign will say your heart is dead

Bury all the memories
Cover them with dirt
Where's the love we once had
Our destiny's unsure
Why can't you see what we had
Let the fire burn the ice
Where's the love we once had
Is it all a lie?

And I still wonder
Why heaven has died
The skies are all falling
I'm breathing but why?
In silence I hold on
To you and I

Closer to insanity
Buries me alive
Where's the life we once had
It cannot be denied
Why can't you see what we had?
Let the fire burn the ice
Where's the love we once had
Is it all a lie?

And I still wonder
Why heaven has died
The skies are all falling
I'm breathing but why?
In silence I hold on
To you and I

You run away
You hide away
To the other side of the universe
Where you're safe from all that hunts you down
But the world has gone
Where you belong
And it feels to late so you're moving on
Can you find your way back home?
And I still wonder
Why heaven has died
The skies are all falling
I'm breathing but why?
In silence I hold on
To you and I

Every word you're saying is a lie


6.Iron

Left in the darkness
Here on your own
Woke up a memory
Feeling the pain
You cannot deny it
There's nothing to say
It's all that you need to find the way
Oh Damn, the war is coming!
Oh Damn, you feel you want it!
Oh Damn, just bring it on today!
You can't live without the fire
It's the heat that makes you strong
'Cause you're born to live and fight it all the way
You can hide what lies inside you
It's the only thing you know
You're embracing that, never walk away
Don't walk away
Don't walk away
Don't walk away
Don't walk away

Raised in this madness, you're on your own
It made you fearless, nothing to lose
Dreams are a drug here, they get in your way
That's what you need to fight day by day
Oh Damn, the war is coming!
Oh Damn, you feel you want it!
Oh Damn, just bring it on today!
You can't live without the fire
It's the heat that makes you strong
'Cause you're born to live and fight it all the way
You can hide what lies inside you
It's the only thing you know
You're embracing that, never walk away
Don't walk away
You need not to fear us
unless you're a dark heart
a vile one, who preys on the innocent
I promise, you can't hide forever in the empty darkness
for we'll hunt you down
like the animals you are
and pull you in the very bowels of hell

Oh Damn, the war is coming!
Oh Damn, you feel you want it!
Oh Damn, just bring it on today!
You can't live without the fire
It's the heat that makes you strong
'Cause you're born to live and fight it all the way
You can hide what lies inside you
It's the only thing you know
You're embracing that, never walk away
Don't walk away
Don't walk away
Don't walk away
Don't walk away


7.Where Is The Edge

In the shadows it awakes the desire
But you know that you can't realize
And the pressure will just keep rising
Now the heat is on
Its too late, there is no way around it
You will see for yourself many times
In the end you will give up the fight
Its unescapable
'Cause you're losing your mind and you sleep
In the heart of the lies
Where is the edge of your darkest emotions?
Why does it all survive?
Where is the light Of your deepest devotions?
I pray that it's still alive

It's the rule that you live by and die for
Its the one thing you can't deny
Even though you don't know what the price is
It is justified
So much more that you've got left to fight for
But it still doesn't change who you are
There is no fear you'll ever give in to
You're untouchable
'Cause you're losing your mind and you sleep
In the heart of the night
Where is the edge of your darkest emotions?
Why does it all survive?
Where is the light Of your deepest devotions?
I pray that it's still alive
You can't stop yourself
Don't want to feel
Don't want to see what you've become
You can't walk away
From who you are
Never give in

Where is the edge of your darkest emotions?
Why does it all survive?
Where is the light Of your deepest devotions?
I pray that it's still alive


8.Sinead

I've got to try it's not over yet
The signals of love have you left

My heart is bleeding just for you
Bleeds for only you
And it hurts to know the truth
Are you looking for savior
Chasing a dream
Love turned to hate
Now I'm crossing the border
Sealing my fate but I'm not afraid

Ohohoh Sinead For the first time
Life is gonna turn around
I'm telling you You will like it I know
(I Know, I Know, I Know, I Know, I Know)
Ohohoh Sinead It's the first time
Only you can set it free
Ohohoh Sinead Come break away with me
This second chance I know won't last
But it's ok, got no regrets
And I I feel the end near I'm a fool
Can't get closer
But I'm doing what I should
I've been drowning in sorrow
Chasing tomorrow Running away
Now you're crossing the border
Sealing tomorrow
But you're not afraid
Ohohoh Sinead For the first time
Life is gonna turn around
I'm telling you You will like it I know
(I Know, I Know, I Know, I Know, I Know)
Ohohoh Sinead It's the first time
Only you can set it free
Ohohoh Sinead Come break away with me

I've been drowning in sorrow
Chasing tomorrow Running away
Now you're crossing the borders
Sealing tomorrow
But you're not afraid
Ohohoh Sinead For the first time
Life is gonna turn around
I'm telling you You will like it

Ohohoh Sinead For the first time
Life is gonna turn around
I'm telling you You will like it I know
(I Know, I Know, I Know, I Know, I Know)
Ohohoh Sinead It's the first time
Only you can set it free
Ohohoh Sinead Come break away with me


9.Lost

My hope is on fire
My dreams are for sale
I dance on a wire
But don't want to fail her
I walk against the stream
Far from what I believe in
I run towards the end
Trying not to give in
She's lost in the darkness
Fading away
I'm still around here
Screaming her name
She's haunting my dreamworld
Trying to survive
My heart is frozen
I'm losing my mind
Help me, I'm buried alive
Buried alive

I'm burning the bridges
And there's no return
I'm trying to reach her
I feel that she yearns
I walk against the stream
Far from what I believe in
I run towards the end
Trying not to give in
She's lost in the darkness
Fading away
I'm still around here
Screaming her name
She's haunting my dreamworld
Trying to survive
My heart is frozen
I'm losing my mind
Help me, I'm buried alive
Buried alive

I tried to revive what's already drowned
They think I'm a fool
Can't realise,
Hope plays a wicked game with the mind
Cause I thought that love would bind
I cannot revive what's already drowned
She won't come around

She's lost in the darkness
Fading away
I'm still around here
Screaming her name
She's haunting my dreamworld
Trying to survive
My heart is frozen
I'm losing my mind
Help me, I'm buried alive
Buried alive


10.Murder

I've been around these vicious lies too
Too long to be neglecting the truth
I'm getting closer and I'm fully armed
I'm about to hunt you down through
The big black hole right behind you
And I'm about to cut your wings away
'Cause I've been finding out
Where you've broken in
And I will take you out
When I close you in
I'm killing them all
I've put my soul on the line
I purify sins that I've committed in life
I'll follow them all
And I'll be bringing them down
Wherever they go I'm right behind
There's nowhere to go
Your head on the line
There is no rope, you're running out of time
To where will you go
When I will murder your soul

I'm about to do it your way
I will make your world unsafe
I never thought you get this thought insane
You don't believe what I besides see
You don't believe in judgment day
But you won't believe in xxxx on horn
'Cause I've been finding out
Where you've broken in
And I will take you out
When I close you in
I'm killing them all
I've put my soul on the line
I purify sins that I've committed in life
I'll follow them all
And I'll be bringing them down
Wherever they go I'm right behind
There's nowhere to go
Your head on the line
There is no rope, you're running out of time
To where will you go
When I will murder your soul

You can't feel the pain
And scream in vain
You sink away to the bottom
You can't break your chains
Break away from here

I'm killing them all
I've put my soul on the line
I purify sins that I've committed in life
I'll follow them all
And I'll be bringing them down
Wherever they go I'm right behind
There's nowhere to go
Your head on the line
There is no rope, you're running out of time
To where will you go
When I will murder your soul


11.A Demon's Fate

You'll burn this time
Seeing the violence is feeding my mind
No one is saving you
How can you find
A heaven in this hell?
Leave it behind
Hear in your silence
Our screams of goodbye
Cannot believe
It's an eye for an eye
Let us go to waste

Angels have faith
I don't wanna be a part of his sin
I don't wanna get lost in his world
I'm not playing this game
When the shadows remain
In the light of day
On the wings of darkness he'll retaliate
He'll be fallen from grace
'Till the end of all his days
From the ashes of hate
It's a cruel demon's fate
On the wings of darkness he's returned to stay
There will be no escape
'Cause he's fallen far from grace

What have you done?
Is this what you wanted?
What have you become?
Your soul's not forsaken
You're walking alone from heaven into hell
Now that you know your way in this madness
Your powers have grown
Your chains have been broken
You'll suffer so long
You will never change
Angels have faith
I don't wanna be a part of his sin
I don't wanna get lost in his world
I'm not playing this game
When the shadows remain
In the light of day
On the wings of darkness he'll retaliate
He'll be fallen from grace
'Till the end of all his days
From the ashes of hate
It's a cruel demon's fate
On the wings of darkness he's returned to stay
There will be no escape
'Cause he's fallen far from grace

Angels have faith
I don't wanna be a part of his sin
I don't wanna get lost in his world
I'm not playing this game

When the shadows remain
In the light of day
On the wings of darkness he'll retaliate
He'll be fallen from grace
'Till the end of all his days
From the ashes of hate
It's a cruel demon's fate
On the wings of darkness he's returned to stay
There will be no escape
'Cause he's fallen far from grace


12.Stairway to the Skies

Seven seconds to the rise
Can't believe I'm still alive
And heaven was waiting for me
I thought this would be the end
But I know you'll understand
All that is keeping me here
I dream of a stairway to the skies
My angel is coming down from heaven to take me
I reach out but then you fade away
Whenever you call for me
Know that I'm only one step behind

I sense this time I have changed
But one thing still remains
I'm torn and the hate still lingers
I slowly start to realize
We won't reunite
I still have to march on through
I dream of a stairway to the skies
My angel is coming down from heaven to take me
I reach out but then you fade away
Whenever you call for me
Know that I'm only one step behind
Is it a curse or a fortune?
Have I been blinded by regret?
Redemption awaits
My soul is at stake
Will I find a stairway to the skies
In the end?

I dream of a stairway to the skies
My angel is coming down from heaven to take me
I reach out but then you fade away
Whenever you call for me
Know that I'm only one step behind
Know that I'm only one step behind
