Overcome - Within Temptation

Where are the heroes

In my time of need?

Is my cry not loud enough

Or have they gone all numb?

They just tend to stand

Out of the rain

Thinking but not acting

That they’re not to blame

Falling and crawling

A fight to stand up

Memory still haunts me

In the dead of night

Over and over, I felt so small

But one day I’ll be stronger

And you better watch out

I will overcome, your violence their silence

Although it can’t be undone

I will overcome, knowing that I’m not the only one

I will overcome, it’s the only way to carry on

Where are the saviors?

Afraid of the toll

Sorry, do my nine inch nails

Slash your soul

Such heroes

Throwing stones

Straight at the one

Who is standing alone

Twisting and turning

It’s always the same

Truth is never honest

When you’re to blame

Pushing and pulling

Never give in, one day I wish

You’ll see you’re not so beautiful within

I will overcome, our violence your silence

Although it can’t be undone

I will overcome, knowing that I’m not the only one

I will overcome, it’s the only way to carry on

Run and run

Run and run

I will overcome, their violence your silence

Although it can’t be undone

I will overcome, knowing that I’m not the only one

I will overcome, it’s the only way to carry on

I will overcome
