Within Temptation

We lived our lives in our paradise,
as gods we shaped the world around.
No borderlines, we'd stay behind,
though balance is something fragile.
While we thought we were gaining
we would turn back the tide, it still slips away.
Our time has run out,
our future has died,
there's no more escape!

Now the day has come,
we are forsaken,
there's no time anymore.
Life will pass us by,
we are forsaken,
we're the last of our kind.

The sacrifice was much too high,
our greed just made us all go blind.
We tried to hide, what we feared inside.
Today is the end of tomorrow.
As the sea started rising,
the land that we'd conquerd just washed away.
Although we all have tried to turn back the tide,
it was all in vain!

Now the day has come,
we are forsaken,
there's no time anymore.
Life will pass us by
we are forsaken
only ruins stay behind. - WT, Forsaken
