Within Temptation
"Endless War" lyrics

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 the 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 by 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 the 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 by 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
