Bleed Out, by Within Temptation

Bleed Out

by Within Temptation

supported by

mrmetalhead1974 A breakthrough record. Anthemic, stadium bound of the required heavy quality. The result: a fat groove, bass heavy sound with stellar driving drums lifted up by a metal power queen.
One of the records of the year.
Tremendous.

H.L. For more than two decades WITHIN TEMPTATION belong to the original acts in female fronted metal. Sharon den Adel has definitely one of the most soulful and unique voices in the genre. Personally, I like the old symphonic style á la "Mother Earth" more than the latest modern heavy albums, but as every album in the band's discography also "Bleed Out" contains some touching hits, check "We go to War", "The Purge" or "Don't Pray for Me". Favorite track: Don't Pray For Me.

1.	We Go To War 04:19	lyrics	buy track
I never thought I'd be here, so unreal to me I can't believe my own eyes, believe my own mind The reality of cruelty in vain The freedom, lives of millions at stake Our hearts will be invincible, we will be unforgivable Won't stand aside when our loved ones dying And when we hear the call, we go to war And leave it all now to bring it back again Now, nothing else really matters We'll defy till the end Oh, when we hear the call, we go to war Pounding strikes like rain, I know they're chasing me It won't be the last time, but they'll die while they try It's a hell on earth, I want to awake There's no rest at all, the blows that we take Our hearts are still invincible, it's so unforgivable Won't stand aside when our loved ones dying And when we hear the call, we go to war And leave it all now to bring it back again Now, nothing else really matters We'll defy till the end Oh, when we hear the call, we go to war And when we hear the call, we go to war And leave it all now to bring it back again Now, nothing else really matters We'll defy till the end Oh, when we hear the call, we go to war

God bless she walks in her last winter When innocence's born, it is bound to be broken The shadows appear and they darken the mind Dying of fear Dying of knowing How deep it cuts Enough is enough Something's got to give I know my mistakes God bless she walks in her last winter The halo 'round her head—it starts to linger Her fear has died, her heart is still unbroken There's no remorse, she doesn't mind She bleeds out God bless she walks in her last winter The halo 'round her head—it starts to linger (She bleeds out) Her fear has died, her heart is still unbroken There's a voice inside of me getting louder, breaking free She bleeds out She bleeds out Blessed are the ones, free of mind, free of hoping To walk into worlds never seen. What's to come? Your destiny is yours to be chosen How deep it cuts Enough is enough Something's got to give I know my mistakes God bless she walks in her last winter The halo 'round her head—it starts to linger Her fear has died, her heart is still unbroken There's no remorse, she doesn't mind She bleeds out God bless she walks in her last winter The halo 'round her head—it starts to linger (She bleeds out) Her fear has died, her heart is still unbroken There's a voice inside of me getting louder, breaking free She bleeds out I know my mistakes God bless she walks in her last winter The halo 'round her head—it starts to linger Her fear has died, her heart is still unbroken There's no remorse, she doesn't mind She bleeds out She bleeds out There's a voice inside of me getting louder, breaking free She bleeds out She bleeds out There's a voice inside of me getting louder, breaking free She bleeds out She bleeds out

It's the ultimate sacrifice Like a god you threw the dice And then you left us all wireless I started to wonder, wonder Why is your smile so callous? I'm here goin' under, under Why is your heart so heartless? I know, I know I'm such a fool It's here, you wear the mark of shame It's here, just like the mark of Cain You never cared for us, just our halo With its glorious force to draw more souls in You never cared for us, our dreams evaporating You left us here without a safety-pin You never cared for us, just our halo Our bloody halo Our bloody halo Try to elevate your demise You got everything sanctified All is shattered and is wireless We're forced through the gauntlet, gauntlet Like mice in a maze we're running We know we go under, under Like moths to the flames we're falling We know, we know It is cruel It's here, you wear the mark of shame It's here, just like the mark of Cain You never cared for us, just our halo With its glorious force to draw more souls in You never cared for us, our dreams evaporating You left us here without a safety-pin You never cared for us, just our halo Our bloody halo It will reach for you It will try to turn you over The feeling should wake you up It will reach for you When it all falls apart It's frightening, they're watching you Just watching you It's here, you wear the mark of shame You never cared for us, our dreams evaporating You left us here without a safety-pin You never cared for us, just our halo Our bloody halo Our bloody halo

I've been trying to remember the dreamer I gave up on so many times I've been trying to fit in the pieces In the depths of my mind I've carried the crosses, too many to deal with I know the daunting truth and its cries Carry the losses, always surrounds me Keeping their memory forever alive When it's worth dying for Yeah, you would give up all 'Cause in the end, now you finally see It sets you free When nothing else matters It is worth dying for When it's worth dying for Waking up to the truth, been denying All the threats to our paradise But I know I can't run, I can't hide from The wheel of time I've carried the crosses, too many to deal with I know the daunting truth and its cries Carry the losses, always surrounds me Keeping their memory forever alive When it's worth dying for Yeah, you would give up all 'Cause in the end, now you finally see It sets you free When nothing else matters It is worth dying for Yeah, you would give up all 'Cause in the end now you finally see It sets you free When nothing else matters When it's worth dying for When it's worth dying for 'Cause in the end now you finally see It sets you free When nothing else matters When it's worth dying for When it's worth dying for When it's worth dying for When it's worth dying for When it's worth dying for

("Will all who wish to die please raise their hands") I'm not lost in the dark I'm not blind to what I see I know the river is wide and the water is deep I feel the cold, my heart skips a beat I don't need your absolution So don't hold that sword over me For my confessions I don't need a church I don't need salt to know where it hurts Don't pray for me, no... ("Will all who wish to die please raise their hands") I cannot breathe for you You're trying over and over, denying what I feel And every time you bow down your head to pray Don't pray for me, don't pray for me! Oh I needed a revolution I never had a war in mind And now the river runs dry and the fall is deep The truth is dark and makes us bleed In hell is where I stand It's where I find my inner strength For my confessions I don't need a church I don't need salt to know where it hurts Don't pray for me, no... I cannot breathe for you You're trying over and over, denying what I feel And every time you bow down your head to pray Don't pray for me, don't pray for me! ("I'm going to let you pray for me") I cannot breathe for you You're trying over and over, denying what I feel And every time you bow down your head to pray Don't pray for me, don't pray for me!

Melissa Bonny is the best symphonic female vocalist not named Floor Jansen. Sadly, Ad Infinitum chooses to throw in incomprehensible death metal growling - which I flatly can't stand. The band seems to have lost a bit of identity and direction. moving_pictures
