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
