Music video[]

Besides some live footage from Within Temptation's performing on the Lowlands music festival, the music video follows the story of a fallen angel who becomes a human due to its weakness on fighting and suffers from it.

Notes[]

The footage used to tell the music video history is the same used at the screen on the tour shows.

Lyrics[]

Every word you're saying is a lie

Run away my dear

But every sign will say your heart is dead

Bury all the memories

Cover them with dirt

Where's the love we once had

Our destiny's unsure

Why can't you see what we had

Let the fire burn the ice

Where's the love we once had

Is it all a lie?

And I still wonder

Why heaven has died

The skies are all falling

I'm breathing but why?

In silence I hold on

To you and I

Closer to insanity

Buries me alive

Where's the life we once had

It cannot be denied

Why can't you see what we had

Let the fire burn the ice

Where's the love we once had

Is it all a lie?

And I still wonder

Why heaven has died

The skies are all falling

I'm breathing but why?

In silence I hold on

To you and I

You run away

You hide away

To the other side of the universe

where you're safe from all that hunts you down

But the world has gone

Where you belong

And it feels too late so you're moving on

Can you find your way back home?

And I still wonder

Why heaven has died

The skies are all falling

I'm breathing but why?

In silence I hold on

To you and I

Every word you're saying is a lie.
