Sharon Den Adel Interview

What has the response been in the United States to The Heart of Everything?
Sharon den Adel: We toured in the U.S. a few months ago and we didn't know what to expect when we went over there. We were a support act for Lacuna Coil. A lot of people came to see us even though we only played for 45 minutes. People came from Atlanta to Louisville, which is a really long drive. I was really amazed that so many people came to see us and already knew the music. It was really cool. A lot of them got to know us through MySpace. I think in Europe we underestimate MySpace. It's a lot bigger in the U.S. than here. That's how a lot of people got in contact with us. We were very surprised.

Every Within Temptation album has a different vibe and theme. How would you describe The Heart of Everything?
We have been inspired by movies and books and, of course, our personal lives. It's about what an individual finds important in life. You have to make choices. It's about the journey toward those choices. If you were to ask me what's important in my life, I would say family, my health, that type of thing. But this is not to tell people what is good in my life, but to ask questions and search for what is good in life. That's why Lady Justice is on the album cover, weighing choices and hopefully making the right choices.

You signed with Roadrunner Records. Was the fact that your albums will now be released in the United States part of that decision?
We have been around for some time and have been doing quite well in Europe. That is why America started noticing us, and that's why we got the deal with Roadrunner. They noticed us and thought we might be a good band for them to release in America. That's the way it happened. It was nice coming to America. It's such a different culture. It's another exciting journey.

Are there new plans of releasing some of your back catalogue in North America?
I hope so. They also put the song “Stand My Ground” on this album, maybe to get people interested in our previous albums. It was actually on the Silent Force album (2004). I think they are going to release the back catalogue as well. “Stand My Ground” was in the movie Blood and Chocolate. Another song was used in Grey’s Anatomy.

You’ve been a fan of Keith Caputo from Life Of Agony for a while. How did his singing with you on “What Have You Done” come about?
He also lives part of the year in Holland and has a band here that he plays with as part of his solo project. We called him and said we really like your music and your voice and asked him to listen to our song and tell us what he thinks of it. He wanted to make sure it was something that fit his voice and fits him as a person and an artist. He called us right back and in two or three weeks we were recording the song. We recorded it at the beginning of 2006.

You are donating the proceeds of the single “Frozen” to Child Helpline International. How did you select that organization?
We wrote a song about child abuse and when you make a video like that it is going to have a huge impact on people who are watching. So we thought that if you make a video, you have a responsibility to help people to get in contact with the right organization. We chose this organization because they are represented in 160 countries and it is very easy to get in contact with them. You can send them an e-mail or call. They are there not only to help, but also to just listen, and you can decide how much help you want.

Over the years you've played pretty much all of the big European festivals. What have been your favorites?
We like the unusual ones, which aren't always festivals. We played once at a train station in Spain. I like the festivals, but it's fun to play the shows that are really weird. We also played in Germany near a lake which was a great atmosphere. There's another festival that's on a racing course where cars race. It's a combination of the atmosphere and the interaction with the fans. It all comes together and sometimes makes a very special one.

The European festivals seem to have a lot of diversity in bands compared to some of the U.S. package tours.
We are very much a crossover band. You can put us on a bill with mainstream bands and metal bands. We played Earthshaker and Wacken, but also Graspop and other mainstream festivals. You can find us anywhere. We have so much diversity in our music.

You’re coming back to the U.S. for a tour later this fall.
We wanted to come back to America to play a headline show. We had so many good reactions after we played there and were approached by the promoter to come back.

Have you had any formal vocal training?
Sharon den Adel: No. But I think I did it the way people do when they are trained. I practiced every day. I was singing three or four hours every day. I grew up with parents who loved music and there was always music in our house. When I heard a song I liked I would rehearse until I could sing it the same way it was supposed to be. It was a challenge for me to be able to sing the songs I really liked. I trained myself that way.

What kinds of bands were you in before Within Temptation?
What I was about 13 I met some guys who were in music school. They were about five years older than me. They were really into blues rock music. We did Van Halen songs and Journey songs and music like that. Then I met Robert (Westerholt) when I was really into grunge music. I loved Nirvana. He introduced me to the type of music he was playing and to groups like Paradise Lost. I was totally swept away by it and impressed with it and fell in love with it. I still love the bands that I knew before I started making this kind of music. Nirvana is still one of my favorite bands of all time, and I like listening to Bob Marley. We like all kinds of music, not just the music that we make.

You and Robert started the band in college. You majored in fashion, right?
Yes. I have a bachelors degree in fashion management and Robert has a degree in human resource management. We actually met in high school. Music started as a hobby, and it became bigger and bigger. It is our passion and we put every minute we had outside of school into the music. It grew gradually over the years and became bigger and bigger, especially with the release of the Mother Earth album in 2000. After that we couldn't stop it any more. At the time we had jobs. Robert owned an Internet company together with some friends and I was working for a fashion company. We gave it up. We never thought we could do music professionally, because in Holland it is very difficult with this kind of music. But it just started happening. A music video channel called The Box played our video after people started requesting it and people started voting for it and new people heard our music. We became number 2 within a couple weeks. It stormed onto the charts. It happened because of our fans.

Do you use your fashion expertise in designing things like stage costumes and merchandise?
I have always designed our merchandise. It was something I did for fun and because I have this background. I’ve also arranged the clothing for myself and the other band members. I work with a designer. I like to draw it myself, but don’t want to make the dress or the t-shirt. I have somebody else make it. I just draw it, and finish it up with a designer. I’ll ask the guys what they like for comfort, because comfort is very important when you are on stage. And I know what their tastes are. It’s very easy for me to buy stuff for them or design things myself for them.

You were on the Hottest Chicks In Metal tour and are regularly featured whenever a magazine does a “hot chicks” feature. Do you find that sexist, or is it a good way to draw attention to your band and your music?
I don’t think it matters if you are a female or male. When you are a frontman or frontwoman you always get the most attention. If it’s not a hottest chicks list, there will be a list of the toughest guys in metal or some similar list. It’s not about women in metal, it’s that you are the frontperson in the band. It’s something that comes along with it. You just have to get used to it.

How old were you when you started learning English?
I was 6 or 7 years old we started to learn it in school. We also have English television and it’s all in English with subtitles in Dutch. That’s a good way to learn English. For a big part of my youth I lived outside of Holland. My parents were expats and were always traveling around the world because of their jobs. As kids we went along with them so I had to speak English at a very early age.

Had you been to the U.S. before the band came here earlier this year?
I had been there twice with my parents when I was younger. We toured the West Coast one time and the East Coast the other time. My parents loved traveling. Instead of staying home during holidays we always went to different countries. I had my birthday once in Ethiopia on a safari. It’s good in a way, because I got to see a lot of things around the world and different cultures. It’s very important for the upbringing of your children as well. It’s good to go to the different countries and learn from them. We saw a lot of poverty. It was good for me to see not as every country is as wealthy as Holland.

Jeroen van Veen

Jeroen van Veen (born October 26, 1974) is the bassist in the symphonic metal band Within Temptation. Jeroen has been a member of Within Temptation since the band's inception in 1996. Although he is the bassist of the band , Jeroen can also play the drums. He also played in the Grey Foxes an Amsterdam Funk Gorup. In his spare time he creates websites and is involved with a side-project band, JIM Generator. He says that his most embarrassing gig was with Within Temptation at Bergen Op Zoom, as the crowd sang Happy Birthday to him. He enjoys Sci-Fi and horror films, and his favourite films are American Beauty, American History X, Twelve Monkeys, Leon. Fight Club and films by Quentin Tarantino and Monty Python. His favourite music genres are Funk, Progressive, Symphonic and Guitar Rock.

Stephen van Haestregt

Stephen van Haestregt (born September 12, 1972 in Westdorpe, Zeeland) is a Dutch drummer, best known as the drummer of the Dutch symphonic metal band Within Temptation.

When he was 18 years old he moved to Utrecht, and two years later to Raamsdonksveer in North Brabant. He was giving his first little drum kit from his grandmother when he was 3 years old.

Van Haestregt followed drum lessons for only two years. He wanted to drum rock/metal, but his drums teacher wanted to teach him traditional drums. From then he was playing along with records from his favorite bands like Golden Earring, Iron Maiden, etc.

Van Haestregt made his first performances in the band Sacrament until they had a show with Paralysis. Then he joined them.

In 2000 he contacted Within Temptation, not as a drummer but as sound engineer of their new album Mother Earth. In 2002 Ivar de Graaf left the band Within Temptation, and caused them to look for a new drummer. Within Temptation was still in contact with Van Haestregt, and they got along quite well. He agreed to be their new drummer and 5 days later he made his first performance with the band on the German festival Rock im Park.

Martijn Spierenburg

Martinus Johannes Everardus Spierenburg (born January 30, 1975) is the keyboardist for Dutch symphonic metal band Within Temptation.

Martijn joined Within Temptation after Martijn Westerholt, Robert Westerholt's brother was diagnosed with infectious mononucleosis shortly after the release of Within Temptation's second full-length studio album, Mother Earth. Robert and Spierenburg had played together in The Circle, Robert's first band. Martijn states that his most embarrassing gig was his first show with Within Temptation. Because of stage fright he forgot how to play half the music. Martijn's favourite music varies a lot but he likes listening to Sting and Rammstein in his car, amongst others and his favourite movie is The Matrix.[1]

Martijn once said that he wanted to be an elevator repair man when he was young.

Spierenburg is responsible for co-writing the music for various Within Temptation, including four songs off of The Heart of Everything, "Our Solemn Hour," "Hand of Sorrow," "The Cross", "The Truth Beneath the Rose," and "Forgiven." He uses ROLAND keyboards.

Martijn is also responsible for the orchestral arrangements used by the band, and oversees the orchestra when the band are recording albums.

Ruud Jolie

Ruud Jolie (born Rudolf Adrianus Jolie on April 19, 1976 in Tilburg, The Netherlands) is the main guitar player of the symphonic metal band Within Temptation.

Early life

Ruud is an only child. Growing up, he first initiated himself to music by playing the keyboards, but his passion for music developed in favor of the guitar soon after he watched a video of an Iron Maiden concert. Thus, after he was done with high school, Ruud attended the conservatory for his college education majoring in jazz guitar. He graduated in 1999.

Work prior to Within Temptation

Ruud started out by playing with several local bands. He joined "Brotherhood Foundation", a nu-metal band whom he stayed with for a period of two years. When Brotherhood Foundation was playing at the 1998 "Dynamo" festival in the Czech Republic, Ruud met Within Temptation who were also playing there. Back then, Michiel Papenhove was still Within Temptation's guitarist, and there were no initial plans for Ruud to join the symphonic metal band yet. In an interview with Starfacts, Ruud stated that his most embarrassing gig experience was when he still had long hair and it was caught in the microphone while headbanging. He thought it was doubly embarrassing because the girl he loved was in front row. They never got together.

After Brotherhood Foundation, Ruud joined an alternative rock band "Vals Licht" (False Light) in 2001. This band was known for its combination of heavy music with Dutch lyrics, something that had never been done before. They released several singles on the Dutch market, of which "Het Licht" reached the top ten charts. A month after joining "Vals Licht", Ruud got a phone call from Within Temptation asking him to join their band seeing as to guitarist Michiel Papenhove was quitting. Ruud turned them down because he had just committed himself to "Vals Licht" and thought it was not proper to "jump from tree to tree" so quickly. A couple of months later, the late drummer of "Vals Licht" Johann De Groot was diagnosed with lung cancer. In that same week, Robert Westerholt, the founder and guitarist of Within Temptation, unaware of Johann's condition called Ruud again with the same request. Ruud turned down Within Temptation once again due to the uneasy circumstances "Vals Licht" was going through, but in counterpart offered to become Within Temptation's substitute guitarist until they found themselves a permanent member.

Within Temptation

In the summer of 2001, Within Temptation had a gig in Mexico City. Ruud, as a substitute, travelled along to perform at the concert. This trip really brought Ruud closer to the members of Within Temptation, and made him realize that he wanted to become a permanent member of the band. Unfortunately, Within Temptation had already hired a 'permanent' guitarist. However, when they returned back home, luckily for Ruud, that didn't work out, and so he received a third and final phone call from Robert asking him to indefinitely join the band, a request to which Ruud finally agreed.

Solo Work

In September 2007, Ruud announced his plans for a solo project, entitled "For All We Know". In a post on his Myspace blog, Ruud said "I decided to call it that because I think that name raises all the questions that don't have immediate answers in an instant. And what is more interesting than searching for answers? Everybody is looking for certain answers I guess. Even subconsciously. Therefore it's multi-interpretable. The only questionable thing about the name that might raise some eyebrows instead of questions is when you pronounce the abbreviation of it; FAWK. Ah well, that's just a minor detail... Musically it's going to be heavy in the basics. Very guitar oriented of course. It won't be a shred-fest but guitaristically (if that's even a word) interesting. Some keywords that come to mind right now are; Heavy, Hysterical, Melodic, Atmospherically, Ambient, Groovy, Mellow... Check out my influences in the general info section. Then you see what kind of music I listen to. I guess it's inevitable that some of the 'ingredients' of those bands and artist end up in my own musical stew. And no, it's not going to be something like Within Temptation. What would the use be of doing a side project when it's something like my main band?"

Equipment

Ruud is an official endorser of Mayones guitars. He uses 2 Setius models (6 and 7 string) and 2 Regius models (also 6 and 7 string). He also uses a wide range of Paul Reed Smith guitars and Gibson guitars. He uses Mesa Boogie rectifier and Diezel VH-4 amplifiers.

Robert Westerholt

Robert Westerholt (born January 2, 1975, Waddinxveen) is the founder of, and guitarist in, the symphonic metal band Within Temptation. He writes a great deal of the music for the band, along with the band's vocalist, his partner, Sharon den Adel. The two became parents to baby Eva Luna on December 7, 2005 and are expecting their second child this summer. Before committing his life to Within Temptation, Robert worked in human resource management, but left to devote his life to creating music.

Work Prior To Within Temptation

In 1992, Robert formed the band "The Circle" with future Within Temptation keyboard player Martijn Spierenburg , after he began writing his own music. The Circle's first demo, entitled 'Symphony No.1' was finished in December 1992. By this point, The Circle had a complete line-up, comprising of Robert, Martijn, Jeroen Van Veen (Within Temptation's bassist), Arjan Groenedijk and Ernst Van Der Loo, although Arjan and Ernst both left the band a while later. In 1995, DSFA Records released a compilation album, and two songs from The Circle were featured, Broken Silence and Frozen. Soon afterwards, Robert parted ways with The Circle, who changed their name to Voyage, and released their only album 'Embrace' in 1995, on which Sharon den Adel collaborates on the track Frozen.

Within Temptation

After leaving The Circle, Robert began writing more music for a new musical project with his girlfriend, Sharon den Adel. Robert sent demo versions of their songs 'Enter' and 'Candles' to former Voyage bandmate Jeroen Van Veen, who then left Voyage to join Robert's project, along with Michiel Papenhove. Their first drummer was Richard Willemse, who left and was replaced with Dennis Leeflang, with whom Within Temptation recorded their first demo. He left soon afterwards, and was replaced with Ivar de Graaf. Robert recalls that "we always had a little bit of a drummer problem, leaving and coming back again...". By 1997, their line-up had been completed, with Sharon (vocals), Robert (guitars and vocals), Robert's brother Martijn (keyboards), Jeroen (bass), Michiel (guitar) and Ivar (drums). In the same year, Within Temptation were signed to DSFA Records and released their debut album, Enter.

Other Appearances

In 1998, he had a small singing part as Death (along with George Oosthoek of Orphanage) on the Ayreon rock opera "Into the Electric Castle", on which Sharon den Adel played one of the main characters.

Sharon Den Adel

Sharon Janny den Adel (born 12 July 1974, in Waddinxveen, South Holland) is a Dutch soprano/mezzo-soprano, and composer, best known as the lead singer and one of the main songwriters in the Dutch symphonic metal band Within Temptation. She performed with various bands since she was 13, including a blues rock band called Kashiro before joining Robert Westerholt in Within Temptation in 1996.

Within Temptation

Together with her partner Robert Westerholt, Sharon den Adel is one of the founding members of the Dutch band Within Temptation. She has defined their work as epic, and cinematic. Her vocals play a major role in the band's sound despite never having had vocal training.

Before becoming a full-time musician, Sharon worked for a fashion company. After the company's bankruptcy, Sharon had to choose whether to stay in fashion or try something else. Meanwhile Within Temptation became famous for the single Ice Queen and Sharon decided to stick with music. She still designs Within Temptation's merchandising and costumes.

Other bands

Sharon Den Adel has performed on-stage and in the studio with several notable bands, including Aemen, After Forever, De Heideroosjes, and Delain. She sang the part of Anna Held in Tobias Sammet's Avantasia projects, and the part of the Indian on Ayreon's rock opera Into the Electric Castle. She sang the vocals of one Timo Tolkki song, "Are You The One?", co-wrote and provided the vocals for the track "In And Out Of Love" from Armin van Buuren's 2008 album Imagine, and sang on the track "No Compliance" for Delain's album Lucidity, as well as working with the band Voyage on the track "Frozen" (not to be confused with the Within Temptation song of the same title).

Lyrics S-Z

1.Say My Name

Say my name
So I will know you're back you're here again
For a while
Oh let us share
The memories that only we can share
Together
Tell me about
The days before I was born
How we were as children
You touch my hand
These colors come alive
In your heart and in your mind
I cross the borders of time
Leaving today behind to be with you again
We breath the air
Do you remember how you used to touch my hair?
You're not aware
Your hands keep still
You just don't know that I am here
It hurts too much
I pray now that soon you're released
To where you belong
You touch my hand
These colors come alive
In your heart and in your mind
I cross the borders of time
Leaving today behind to be with you again
Please say my name
Remember who i am
You will find me in the world of yesterday
You drift away again
Too far from where I am
When you ask me who I am
Say my name
These colors come alive
In your heart and in your mind
I cross the borders of time
Leaving today behind to be with you agaïn
Say my name.

2.See Who I Am

Is it true what they say,
Are we too blind to find a way?
Fear of the unknown cloud our hearts today.
Come into my world,
See through my eyes.
Try to understand,
Don't want to lose what we have
We've been dreaming
But who can deny,
It's the best way of living
Between the truth and the lies
See who I am,
Break through the surface.
Reach for my hand,
Let's show them that we can
Free our minds and find a way.
The world is in our hands,
This is not the end.
Fear is withering the soul
At the point of no return.
We must be the change
We wish to see.
I'll come into your world,
See through your eyes.
I'll try to understand,
Before we lose what we have.
We just can't stop believing
cause we have to try.
We can rise above
Their truth and their lies.
See who I am,
Break through the surface.
Reach for my hand,
Let's show them that we can
Free our minds and find a way.
The world is in our hands,
See who I am,
Break through the surface.
Reach for my hand,
Let's show them that we can
Free our minds and find a way.
The world is in our hands,
This is not the end.
I hear the silence
Preaching my blame.
Will our strength remain
If their power reigns?
See who I am,
Break through the surface.
Reach for my hand,
Let's show them that we can
Free our minds and
find a way.
The world is in our hands,
See who I am,
Break through the surface.
Reach for my hand,
Let's show them that we can
Free our minds and
find a way.
The world is in our hands,
this ïs not the end.

3.Somewhere

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
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.
Wherever you are, I won't stop searching.
Whatever it takes, I need to know.
I'll find you somewhere
I'll keep on trying until my dying day
I just need to know whatever has happened,
The Truth wïll free my soul

4.Sounds Of Freedom

Your call is coming
I'm dreaming away
For what lies hidden
It needs to be found
Sounds of freedom make me wanna try
When the ghosts are found
They will lead us to tomorrow
Sounds of freedom make me wanna try
Voices forgotten
I hear them close by
Ghosts from the past i can see through their eyes
Are these the ancestors leaving me signs?
Sounds of freedom make me wanna try
When the ghosts are found
They will lead us to tomorrow
Sounds of freedom make me wanna try
The sounds, they are all around
Forces start moving out
Taking sides, though there's so much
That i need to know
And soon it will be shown
Sounds of freedom make me wanna try
When the ghosts are found
They will lead us to tomorrow
Sounds of freedom make me wanna try
When the ghosts are found, they will lead us to tomorrow
When the ghosts are found, they will lead us to tomorrow
If we could restart how it was before tomorrow.

5.Stand My Ground

I can see
when you stay low nothing happends
does it feel right ?
Late at night
things i thought i put behind me
haunt my mind
I just know theres no escape
now once it sets its eyes on you
but i wont run, have to stare it in the eye
Stand my ground, i wont give in
no more denying, i got to face it
wont close my eyes and hide the truth inside
if i dont make it, someone else will stand my ground
Its all around
getting stronger, comming closer
into my world
I can feel
that its 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 wont run, theres no turningback from here
Stand my ground (repeat chorus)
All i know for sure is im trying
i wïll always stand my ground
Stand my ground (repeat chorus x 2)

6.The Cross

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 ït all, answer my call.

7.The Dance

Someone is dancing on my grave
Sending shivers down my spine.
I hear a laugh, it awoke my soul
The wind takes the leaves where he
Wants them to go
His tunes enchant our world,
Our thoughts and leave us frozen
In this heart of mine
It's you I find
Take my hand
I'll take you to the promised land
You're the one
I hear a laugh, it awoke my soul
The wind takes the leaves where he
Wants them to go
His tunes enchant our world,
Our thoughts and leave us frozen
In this heart of mine
It's you I find
Take my hand
I'll take you to the promised land
You're the one
Nevil, whatever you have done, these tears
Will fade
Nevil, wherever you have done,
Please have faïth.

8.The Heart Of Everything

Nor the pain and the sorrow caused by my mistakes
Won’t repent to a mortal whom is all to blame
Now I know I won’t make it
There will be a time we’ll get back our freedom
They can’t break 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 the heart of everything
Stay with me now I’m facing my last solemn hour
Very soon I’ll embrace you on the other side
Hear the crowd in the distance, screaming out my faith
Now their voices 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
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 everythïng.

9.The Howling

We've been seeing what you wanted and it's fallen right now falling asleep from our vanity may cost us our lives
I hear them getting closer, the hounds are sending chills down my spine
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 lie that we created, I want to be awaken some how (wanna be awaken right now)
When we start killing
It all will be falling down
From the hell 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 they're getting closer, the hounds are sending chills down my spine
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 lie that we created, I want to be awaken some how (wanna be awaken right now)
When we start killing
It all will be falling down
From the hell that we're in, all we are has faded away
When we start killing
When we start killing
I feel they're getting closer, the hounds are sending chills down my spine
Time is running out now, they're coming down the hills from behind...
The sun is rising, the screams have gone
Too many have fallen, few still stand tall
Is this the end of what we begun
Will we remember what we've done wrong?
When we start killing
It's all coming down right now
From the lie that we created, I want to be awaken some how (wanna be awoken right now)
When we start killing
It all will be falling down
From the hell that we're in, all we are has faded away
When we start killing
When we start killing
When we start killïng.

10.The Last Time

For so long I've tried.
Could not close my eyes.
When you became an outcast in this life.
Again and again I try
to understand the demons inside your head,
but the truth is you love them to death.
Now, I know it's the last time I have tried
to lift you up to make you fight.
Nothing is ever easy in life.
I can't change it if you don't have the will deep inside.
I have been blind to how you justify
everything that you've wasted in this life.
Got lost in the illusion,
I'd find a solution for the demons in your head,
but the truth is you love them to death.
Now, I know it's the last time I have tried
to lift you up to make you fight.
Nothing is ever easy in life.
I can't change it if you don't have the will deep inside.
You can blame and you can hide
behind what is wrong and what is right.
Life is the choices we make
I hope you'll awake before it's too late.
Now, I know it's the last time I have tried
to lift you up to make you fight.
Nothing is ever easy in life.
I can't change it if you don't have the will deep inside.

11.The Other Half (Of Me)

Over the hills, lies a new beginning
Over the hills
Over the hills, there is a way I know it
Over the hills
You can't bring all the gloom (voices)
Your heart is frayed and so empty
You glorify the future (voices)
Living in a different world than me
The journey ends in death (voices)
You are giving up so easily
You are the other half of me (voices + sharon)
Over the hills (4x)
We are drifting apart (voices)
Chilled to the marrow, cause you don't want to go
Cause we've got a different wish at heart (voices)
The amulet guides us to the other side
When I go down it's you who'll bleed (voices)
I'm not scared to die, as long as I'm with you
You are the other half of me (voices + sharon)
Over the hills, lies a new beginning
Over the hills
Over the hills, there is a way I know it
Over the hïlls.

12.The Promise

On behalf of her love
She no longer sleeps
Life no longer had meaning
Nothing to make her stay
She sold her soul away
Ref:
- I held you tight to me
- But you slipped away
- You promised to return to me
- And I believed, I believed
After the night he died
I wept my tears until they dried
But the pain stayed the same
I didn't want him to die all in vain
I made a promise to revenge his soul in time
I'll make them bleed at my feet
(Ref)
Sometimes I wonder
Could I have known their true intensions?
As the pain stayed the same
I'm going to haunt them down all the way
I made a promise to revenge his soul in time
One by one they were surprïsed
(Ref)

13.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 passïng me by.

14.The Truth Beneath The Rose

Give me strength to face the truth, the doubt within my soul
No longer I can justify the bloodshed in his name
Is it a sin to seek the truth, the truth beneath the rose?
Pray with me so I will find the gate to Heaven’s door
I believed it would justify the means
It had a hold over me
Blinded to see the cruelty of the beast
It is the darker side of me
The veil of my dreams deceived 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
Is 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
Blinded to see the cruelty of the beast
It is the darker side of me
The veil of my dreams deceived 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 worlds
For all I have seen 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 blood be our salvation
And justify the pain that we have caused throughout the times
Will I learn what’s truly sacred?
Will I redeem my soul, will truth set me free?
Blinded to see the cruelty of the beast
It is the darker side of me
The veil of my dreams deceived all I have seen
Forgive me for what I have been
Forgive me my sïns.

15.Toward The End

The turn against
The world we know
Now our destiny
will be decided
We have to send
our brothers in arms
With pain in our heart
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 'tïll the end.

16.What Have You Done

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 I should stop believing
I know that 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
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 x4
What have you done now
What have you done x4
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 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 x4
What have you done now
What have you done x4
What have you done now
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 slippïng away
What have you done now
Why, Why does fate make us suffer
There's a curse between us
Between me and you
x2

17.World Of Make Believe

On golden wings
She flies at night
With her dress
It's blinding white
Countless diamonds
And her long blonde hair
The queen is coming
So you better be aware
Her plums and flowers
They are never the same
Blue and silver
It's all her game
Flying dragons
And enchanted woods
She decides, she creates
It's her reality
In her world of dreams and make believe
She reigns forever
With all her glory
Unicorns appear in her sight
The fireflies lead her trough these woods at night
In search of the legendary amulet
And it's secret
In the big oak there is a door
Which will lead her
To the wizard shore
And she'll ask him
For the wind to sail her home
To the world where she belongs
In her world of dreams and make believe
She reigns forever
With all her glory
In this world of endless fantasy
She makes it happen
It's her reality
In her world of dreams and make believe
She reigns forever
With all her glory
In this world of endless fantasy
She makes it happen
It's her realïty.

Lyrics G-R

1.Gatekeeper

The shadows of the night,
are unleashed again
Where their greed begins,
the end is near
A morbid hunger for blood,
lies in their cold black eyes
They've come to take our lifes away
One by one they diedA massacre that took all night
They had no chance, it was no fight
You can't kill what has been killed before
They died.....
With shadows on its tail
He stepped through the portal,
locked the door and ate the key
With his life they took their way to freedom,
and he became the final keeper of the key.

2.Grace

Cold are the bones of thy soldiers
Longing for home, their little paradise
I don't feel redemption on their side
Fallen from grace, help me rise again
Fallen from grace, help me through
Fallen from grace, help me through
Fallen from grace
Feel these hands, the pressure, the cold, tremble
Do you hear these words
Do you feel the wounds
I'll never help you through
Cold are thy souls
I feel resentment,
they feel betrayed
They hate the cold
I don't feel redemption on their side
Fallen from grace, help me rise again
Fallen from grace, help me through...

3.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 command
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 past, 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 price
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 past, 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?

4.Ice Queen

When leaves have fallen
And skies turned into grey.
The night keeps on closing in on the day
A nightingale sings his song of farewell
You better hide for her freezing hell
On cold wings she's coming
You better keep moving
For warmth, you'll be longing
Come on just feel it
Don't you see it?
You better believe it.
When she embraces
Your heart turns to stone
She comes at night when you are all alone
And when she whispers
Your blood shall run cold
You better hide before she finds you
(2 x)
Whenever she is raging
She takes all life away
Haven't you seen?
Haven't you seen?
The ruins of our world
She covers the earth with a breathtaking cloak
The sun awakes and melts it away
The world now opens its eyes and sees
The dawning of a new day
On cold wings she's coming
You better keep moving
For warmth, you'll be longing
Come on just feel it
Don't you see it?
You better believe it.

5.In Perfect Harmony

In a world so far away
At the end of a closing day
A little child was born and raised
Deep in the forest on a hidden place
Mother never saw his face
Ancient spirits of the forest
Made him king of elves and trees
He was the only human being
Who lived in harmony
In perfect harmony
The woods protected, fulfilled his needs
Fruit by birds, honey by bees
He found shelter under the trees
He grew up in their company
They became his family
A thousand seasons
They passed him by
So many times, have said goodbye
And when the spirits called out his name
To join forever, forever to stay
A forest spirït he became.

6.It`s The Fear

It awaits for the day
Will let it out
Give it a reason
To give its might
Fear of who I am becoming
I fear that I'm losing
The struggle within
I can no longer restrain it
My strength, it is fading
I have to give in
[Chorus:]
It's the fear of the dark
It's growing inside of me
They won they will come alive
(Have to save)
To save my beloved,
There is no escape
'Cause my faith is horror and doom
Hold down your head now
Just let me pass by
Don't feed my fear
If you don't want it out
I fear for who I'm becoming
I feel that I'm losing
All beauty within
I can no longer restrain it
My strength it is fading
I have to give in
[Chorus]
Long ago it came to me
And ever since that day
Infected with its rage
But ït ends today.

7.Jane Doe

Why, you just won't leave my mind ?
Was this the only way ?
I couldn't let you stay ?
Run away, hide away
the secrets in your mind.
Sacrificed just her life,
for a higher love
No matter how many stones you put inside.
She'll always keeps on floating in your mind.
With every turn of your head you see her face again,
until the end, over and over again.
Why, you just won't leave my mind ?
Was this the only way ?
I couldn't let you stay ?
Told the truth she laughed at you.
Something snapped inside.
She had to go or they would know,
all you tried to hide
The sins of your life are now catching up with you.
You can't stay ahead. There's nothing you can do.
With every turn of your head you see her face again,
until the end, over and over again.
Why, you just won't leave my mind ?
Was thïs the only way ?
I couldn't let you stay ?

8.Jillian

I've been dreaming for so long,
To find a meaning
To understand.
The secret of life,
Why am I here
To try again?
Will I always,
Will you always
See the truth
When it stares you in the face?
Will I ever
Will I never free myself
By breaking these chains?
[Chorus:]
I'd give my heart, I'd give my soul.
I'd turn it back, it's my fault.
Your destiny is forlorn,
Have to live till it's undone.
I'd give my heart, I'd give my soul.
I'd turn it back
And then at last
I'll be on my way.
I've been living for so long,
Many seasons have passed me by.
I've seen kingdoms through ages
Rise and fall,
I've seen it all.
I've seen the horror,
I've seen the wonders
Happening just in front of my eyes.
Will I ever
Will I never free myself by making it right?
[Chorus]
Jillian
Our dream ended long ago.
All our stories
And all our glory
I held so dear.
We won't be together for ever and ever,
No more tears.
I'll always be here
Untill the end...
[Voices]
(Jillian, no more tears...
Jillïan, no more tears...)
[Chorus]

9.Memories

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 IN 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.
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 home.
All of my memories keep you near.
In silent moments imagine you IN here.
All of my memories keep you near.
IN silent whispers, silent tears.
Together with these memories
I see your smile.
All the memories I hold dear.
Darling, you know I love you
'Til the end of time.
All of my memories keep you near.
In silent moments imagine you IN here.
All of my memories keep you near.
Your silent whispers, silent tears.
All my memories...

10.Mother Earth

Birds and butterflies
Rivers and mountains she creates
But you'll never know
The next move she'll make
You can try
But it is useless to ask why
Cannot control her
She goes her own way
Ref
- She rules until the end of time
- She gives and she takes
- She rules until the end of time
- She goes her own way
With every breath
And all the choices that we make
We are only passing through on her way
I find my strength
Believing that your soul lives on
Until the end of time
I'll carry it with me
(Ref)
Once you will know my dear
You don't have to fear
A new beginning always
starts at the end
Until the end of tïme
She goes her own way
(Ref)

11.Never Ending Story

Armies have conquered
And fallen in the end
Kingdoms
have risen
Then buried by sand
The Earth is our
mother
She gives and she takes
She puts us to sleep
and
In her light we'll awake
We'll all be
forgotten
There's no endless fame
But everything
we do
Is never in vain
We're part of a
story, part of a tale
We're all on this journey
No one is to stay
Where ever it's going
What
is the way?
Forests and deserts
Rivers, blue
seas
Mountains and valleys
Nothing here stays
While we think we witness
We are part of the scene
This never-ending story
Where will it lead to?
The
earth is our mother
She gives and she takes
But she
is also a part
A part of the tale
We're
part of a story, part of a tale
We're all on this
journey
No one is to stay
Where ever it's going
What is the way?
We're part of a story, part of
a tale
Sometimes beautiful and sometimes insane
No one
remembers how ït began.

12.Our Farewell

In my hands
A legacy of memories
I can hear you say my name
I can almost see your smile
Feel the warmth of your embrace
But there is nothing but silence now
Around the one I loved
Is this our farewell?
Sweet darling you worry too much, my child
See the sadness in your eyes
You are not alone in life
Although you might think that you are
Never thought
This day would come so soon
We had no time to say goodbye
How can the world just carry on?
I feel so lost when you are not by my side
But there's nothing but silence now
Around the one I loved
Is this our farewell?
So sorry your world is tumbling down
I will watch you through these nights
Rest your head and go to sleep
Because my child, this not our farewell.
This ïs not our farewell.

13.Our Solemn Hour

Sanctus Espiritus redeem us from our solemn hour
Sanctus Espiritus insanity is all around us
Sanctus Espiritus! Sanctus Espiritus! Sanctus Espiritus!
In my darkest hours I could not foresee
That the tide 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
So in the end now what have we gained?
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 never-ending agony?
Are they themselves to blame, the misery, the pain?
Didn’t we let go, allowed it, let it grow?
If we can’t restrain the beast which dwells inside
it will find it’s way somehow, somewhere in time
Will we remember all of the suffering
Cause if we fail it will be 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 never-endïng agony?

14.Overcome

Where are the heroes
In my time of need
Is my cry not loud enough
Or have they gone all numb
They just tend to stand
Out of the rain
Thinking but not acting
That they're not to blame
Falling and crawling
A fight to stand up
Memory still haunts me
In the dead of night
Over and over
I felt so small
But one day I'll be stronger
And you better watch out
I will overcome
Your violence their silence
Although,
It can't be undone
I will overcome
Knowing that I'm not the only one
I will overcome
It's the only way to carry on
Where are the saviours
Afraid of the toll
Sorry do my nine inch nails
Slash your soul
Such heroes
Throwing stones
Straight at the one
Who is standing alone
Twisting and turning
It's always the same
Truth is never honest
When you're to blame
Pushing and pulling
Never give in
One day I wish
You'll see you're not so beautiful within
I will overcome
Your violence your silence
Although,
It can't be undone
I will overcome
Knowing that I'm not the only one
I will overcome
It's the only way to carry on
Run and run
Run and run
I will overcome
Their violence your silence
Although,
It can't be undone
I will overcome
Knowing that I'm not the only one
I will overcome
It's the only way to carry on
I wïll overcome.

15.Pale

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 all right.
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.
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.
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 alrïght.

16.Pearls Of Light

After,
the cold darkness,
in the heart of the forest.
Where birds are singing,
for the new born sun
In the womb of the leaves,
on the branches of the trees,
lies the treasure in the morning,
the pearls of light.
Carried away by the truculence of my world,
I got lost in the search for enlightenment,
The blue rain,
Covered my roots and I forgot where I came from.
Carried away by the truculence of my world,
I got lost in the search for enlightment,
The blue raïn,
Covered my roots and I forgot where I came from

17.Restless

She embraced, with a smile
As she opened the door
A cold wind blows, it puts a chill into her heart
You have taken away the trust,
you're the ghost haunting through her heart
Past and present are one in her head,
you're the ghost haunting through her heart
Take my hand as I wander through
All of my life I gave to you
Take my hand as I wander through
All of my love I gave to you
You have taken away the trust,
you're the ghost haunting through her heart
Take my hand as I wander through
All of my lïfe I gave to you
Take my hand as I wander through
All of my love I gave to you.

18.Running Up That Hill

It doesn't hurt me
Do you wanna feel how it feels?
Do you wanna know that it doesn't hurt me?
Do you wanna hear about the deal that I'm making?
It's you and me, yeah
And if I only could
Make a deal with God
And have him swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
Be running up that building
So if I only could
Don't wanna hurt me
But see how deep the bullet lies
Unaware I'm tearing you asunder
Oh, there is thunder in our hearts
Is there so much hate for the ones we love?
Oh tell me we both matter, don't we?
It's you and me that won't be unhappy
And if I only could
Make a deal with God
And have him swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
Be running up that building
And if I only could
Make a deal with God
And have him swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
With no problems
C'mon baby, c'mon darling
Let me steal this moment from you now
C'mon angel, c'mon, c'mon darling
Let's exchange the experience
And if I only could
Make a deal with God
And have him swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
Be running up that building
So if I only could
Make a deal with God
And have him swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
Wïth no problems...
