As cold as stone, they march in darkness
Enslaving the young and killing their fathers
But soon they'll know the path they've chosen
Has carved their fate in stone

In blood and tears, a thousand times
We rise against, we'll always hold the line
Of reckoning

Red tears run down like a river
Don't close your eyes, it won't disappear
No fear, you wanna end the pain
Don't let go, don't back down
Hold the line, we'll bring the reckoning

In blood and tears, a thousand times
We rise against, we'll always hold the line
Of reckoning

We're all alone, walking in twilight
The night has been long and so many have fallen
Feel no remorse, light will be breaking
Our freedom is worth it all

In blood and tears, a thousand times
We'll rise against, we'll always hold the line
Of reckoning

Red tears run down like a river
Don't close your eyes, it won't disappear
No fear you wanna end the pain
Don't let go, don't back down
Hold the line, we'll bring the reckoning

I see your face, find peace of mind
Between the madness and the sadness and the fire burning
The end of war, the great divine
We'll see the day
Of reckoning

In blood and tears, a thousand times
We rise against, we'll always hold the line
In blood and tears, a thousand times
We'll rise against, we'll always hold the line

Of reckoning

We'll bring the reckoning
In blood and tears, a thousand times
We rise against, we'll always hold the line
Of reckoning

Within Temptation

Within Temptation are a Dutch symphonic metal band founded in 1996 by vocalist Sharon den Adel and guitarist Robert Westerholt. Their music is described as symphonic metal, although their earlier material, such as Enter, was gothic metal. In an interview, den Adel said they fell into a symphonic rock genre with various influences. In a later interview with 3VOOR12, Sharon stated that "we consider ourselves more a symphonic rock band ... we are in my opinion no gothic band". more »
