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 stand and stare

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 saviours

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

Your 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
