Within Temptation Resist 1. The Reckoning As cold as stone, they march in darkness Enslaving the young and killing their fathers But soon they'll know The path they've chosen Has carved their faith in stone [Pre-Chorus] In blood and tears, a thousand times We'll rise against, we'll always hold the line Of reckoning [Chorus] Red tears run down like a river Don't close your eyes, it won't disappear No fear you wanna end the pain Don't let go, don't back down Hold the line We'll bring the reckoning In blood and tears, a thousand times We'll rise against, we'll always hold the line Of reckoning [Verse 2] We're all alone, walking in twilight The night has been long and so many've fallen Feel no remorse, light will be breaking Our freedom is worth it all [Pre-Chorus] In blood and tears, a thousand times We'll rise against, we'll always hold the line Of reckoning [Chorus] Red tears run down like a river Don't close your eyes, it won't disappear No fear you wanna end the pain Don't let go, don't back down Hold the line We'll bring the reckoning [Bridge] I see your face, find piece of mind Between the madness and the sadness and the fire burning The end of war, the great divine We'll see the day of reckoning [Outro] In blood and tears, a thousand times We'll rise against, we'll always hold the line In blood and tears, a thousand times We'll rise against, we'll always hold the line Of reckoning We'll bring the reckoning In blood and tears, a thousand times We'll rise against, we'll always hold the line Of reckoning 2. Endless War You're fighting an endless war Hunting a miracle And when you're reaching for the stars They just cut you down Looking through the glass Cannot recognize the ghost that you are seeing Every step you take on the burning sand Slowly sinking deeper All the memories remain all the pain from your broken home And the walls 'round your heart grew so strong You can't let go You keep crawling on Don't wanna let it go So you keep holding on To feel whole 'Cause you're fighting an endless war Hunting a miracle And when you reach out for stars They just cut you down 'Cause you're fighting an endless war Hunting a miracle Is it worth dying for? Or are you blinded by, blinded it all? Here they come again Hear them whispering when your heart is bleeding Like a symphony playing on repeat Unravelling your feelings All the memories remain all the strain, you feel broken up And the weight that you feel pulls you down You can't let go You keep crawling on Don't wanna let it go You keep holding on To feel whole 'Cause you're fighting an endless war Hunting a miracle And when you reach out for stars They just cut you down 'Cause you're fighting an endless war Hunting a miracle Is it worth dying for Or are you blinded by, blinded it all? It's an endless war But then they cut you down They cut you down once more Don't let them cut you down Cut you down once more 3.

Firelight I pay my dues All for truth Can't leave it here and leave it here And leave it here forgotten Silence rules Spineless fools You'll never learn, never learn Never learn to break away Oh, why can't we rise again? When all the days go by the firelight We'll never fade out in the night And we are estranged, but drawn to the flame We are like fire to the rain Isn't it strange that love is in the way? It never goes away (never goes away) I paid my dues (my dues, my dues) All for truce I leave it here, leave it here Leave it here forgotten Life, it rules Over truth We'll never learn, never learn Never learn to break away Oh, why can't we rise again? When all the days go by the firelight We'll never fade out in the night And we are estranged, but drawn to the flame We are like fire to the rain Isn't it strange that love is in the way? Isn't it strange that love is in the way? When all the days go by the firelight We'll never fade out in the night And we are estranged, but drawn to the flame We are like fire to the rain Isn't strange that love is in the way? It never goes away Away 8.

Trophy Hunter Breathe, I need to breathe And wipe off the scarlet red Make my heart slow down I know I will find you here You are trophy hunting Kill for nothing Tired of watching Turning tables I can't let go I'll set them free from you I won't give in You, you won't escape me, I'll rise from the deep In this final moment, no words left to say I can't let you be when life fades away You, you won't escape me 'cause I'll set you free Time, I need more time But patience is hard for me Feel my blood rushing Slowly I'm closing in Trophy hunting Kill for nothing Tired of watching Turning tables I can't let go I'll set them free from you I won't give in You, you won't escape me, I'll rise from the deep In this final moment, no words left to say I can't let you be when life fades away You, you won't escape me 'cause I'll set you free In the end, we go our own way when time comes, no one can stay Why is nothing ever easy and the truth is never straight? Slowly learning how to be me All alone but I can see That I never will give in, no always free You, you won't escape me, I'll rise from the deep In this final moment, no words left to say I can't let you be when life fades away You, you won't escape me 'cause I'll set you free
