Within Temptation - Shed My Skin

Carry on your fire and raise your head
And everything comes to end, when hearts asunder

When you gather like birds of prey
Rejoice what is broken and turning away
There’s no rest cause these wounds won’t heal
I can’t let it go, can’t let it go

No matter how deep we’re falling, for our calling
Can’t look back because it leads me to nowhere
What is awaiting, I’ll embrace it
In the end, all I know, I have to face it

Carry on your fire and raise your head
And save yourself from their collective projection
Carry on your fire and raise your head
And everything comes to end, when hearts asunder

Forgive me, release me, I shed my skin
This pain is awakening what lies deep within

You kill me, as lightning your words strike in
Oh, everything’s changing now that I shed my skin

That I shed my skin

I know heaven is not my home
I feel like I’m choking and I’m playing their game
Oh, I can’t hold on to yesterday
I cannot hold on, cannot hold on

No matter how deep we’re falling, for our calling
Can’t look back because it leads me to nowhere
What is awaiting, I’ll embrace it
In the end, all I know, I have to face it

When hearts asunder

Forgive me, release me, I shed my skin
This pain is awakening what lies deep within
You kill me, as lightning your words strike in
Oh, everything’s changing now that I shed my skin

We shed our skin, we don’t wanna be broken, broken
We shed our skin, we don’t wanna be broken, broken

Carry on your fire and raise your head
And everything comes to end, when hearts asunder

Forgive me, release me, I shed my skin
This pain is awakening what lies deep within
You kill me, as lightning your words strike in
Oh, everything’s changing now that I shed my skin

That I shed my skin
That I shed my skin
That I shed my skin
That I shed my skin!
