Within Temptation & Annisokay – Shed My Skin
Shed My Skin [Intro: Sharon den Adel & Christoph Wieczorek] Carry on your fire and raise your head And everything comes to an end when hearts asunder [Verse 1: Sharon den Adel] When you gather like birds of prey Rejoice what is broken and turning away There's no rest 'cause these wounds won't heal I can't let it go, can't let it go No matter how deep we're falling for our calling Can't look back 'cause it leads me to nowhere What is awaiting, I'll embrace it In the end, all I know, I have to face it [Pre-Chorus: Sharon den Adel, with Christoph Wieczorek] Carry on your fire and raise your head And save yourself from their collective projection Carry on your fire and raise your head And everything comes to an end when hearts asunder [Chorus: Sharon den Adel & Christoph Wieczorek] Whoa, forgive me, release me, I shed my skin This pain's awakening what lies deep within You kill me as lightning your words strike in Oh, everything's changing now that I shed my skin That I shed my skin [Verse 2: Christoph Wieczorek, with Sharon den Adel] I know Heaven is not my home I feel like I'm choking and I'm playing their game Oh, I can't hold on to yesterday I cannot hold on, cannot hold on No matter how deep we're falling, for our calling Can't look back 'cause it leads me to nowhere What is awaiting, I'll embrace it In the end, all I know, I have to face it When hearts asunder [Chorus: Sharon den Adel & Christoph Wieczorek, with Rudi Schwarzer] Whoa, forgive me, release me, I shed my skin This pain's awakening what lies deep within You kill me as lightning your words strike in Oh, everything's changing now that I shed my skin [Bridge: Sharon den Adel & Rudi Schwarzer] We shed our skin We don't wanna be broken, broken We shed our skin We don't wanna be broken, broken [Pre-Chorus: Sharon den Adel & Christoph Wieczorek, with Rudi Schwarzer] Carry on your fire and raise your head And everything comes to an end when hearts asunder [Chorus: Sharon den Adel & Christoph Wieczorek, with Rudi Schwarzer] Whoa, forgive me, release me, I shed my skin This pain's awakening what lies deep within You kill me, as lightning your words strike in Oh, everything's changing now that I shed my skin [Outro: Rudi Schwarzer, Sharon den Adel & Christoph Wieczorek] That I shed my skin That I shed my skin That I shed my skin That I shed my skin |
