Within Temptation
"In Vain" lyrics

In Vain

Beautify all I know
Keep on dancing
Let it all turn to gold

When the dream touches ground
The demons walk in
And I know
What awaits

A priceless glory
Memento mori
All for nothing now
I know

Nothing of the heart remains
Even if we could have stayed
We've been here long enough
Long enough
To know it's all in vain

Everything we tried to say
Up until the final day
I guess we said enough
Said enough
To know it's all in vain
Oh, oh
All in vain
All in vain
All in vain
All in vain

See the world through a tear
Keep on breathing
Salt has dried
You're not here

Just a heartbeat away
The demons walk in
Now I know
It's too late

A priceless glory
Memento mori
All for nothing now
I know

Nothing of the heart remains
Even if we could have stayed
We've been here long enough
Long enough
To know it's all in vain

Everything we tried to say
Up until the final day
I guess we said enough
Said enough
To know it's all in vain
Oh, oh
All in vain
All in vain
All in vain
All in vain

Took the memories
But I can feel them fading
All our vanities
There's nothing left to save me now
I can take them across the border
I can take them across the border

Leaving everything
We have for you to find it
Everytime I walk away
I wanna turn around
I wanna turn around

Nothing of the heart remains
Even if we could have stayed
We've been here long enough
Long enough
To know it's all in vain

Everything we tried to say
Up until the final day
I guess we said enough
We said enough
To know it's all in vain
Oh, oh

Vain
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I guess we said enough
We said enough
To know it's all in vain
Oh, oh

All in vain
All in vain
All in vain
All in vain
