Dark Wings Lyrics - Within Temptation
Review The Song (8)
Why was I one of the chosen ones?
Until the fight I could not see
The magic and the strength of my power
It was beyond my wildest dreams
Dark wings they are descending
See shadows gathering around
One by one they are falling
Every time they try to strike us down.
Don't you die on me
You haven't made your peace
Live life, breathe, breathe
Don't you die on me
You haven't made your peace
Live life, breathe, breathe
Dark wings they are descending
See shadows gathering around
One by one they are falling
Every time they try to strike us down.
As they took your soul away
The night turned into the day
Blinded by your rays of life
Give us the strength we needed.
Dark wings they are descending
See shadows gathering around
One by one they are falling
Every time they try to strike us down.

Until the fight I could not see
The magic and the strength of my power
It was beyond my wildest dreams
Dark wings they are descending
See shadows gathering around
One by one they are falling
Every time they try to strike us down.
Don't you die on me
You haven't made your peace
Live life, breathe, breathe
Don't you die on me
You haven't made your peace
Live life, breathe, breathe
Dark wings they are descending
See shadows gathering around
One by one they are falling
Every time they try to strike us down.
As they took your soul away
The night turned into the day
Blinded by your rays of life
Give us the strength we needed.
Dark wings they are descending
See shadows gathering around
One by one they are falling
Every time they try to strike us down.

Live Lyrics | Reviewer: Rockstar97 | 5/1/13
In the live versions (like when they performed in Rock Werchter 2002) They Sharon was singing: Dark wings they are descending
See shadows gathering around
see you
taking our pain
they sold my soul...
IDK but something like that. Did she forget the lyrics?
You know... | Reviewer: Melissa | 2/2/11
So I go on youtube to hear this song, cause, you know... I have no idea where else too, and there is this nut on there calling himself posessed by this song and his family calling him loco. It's a really cool song and all, but jeez...
Sorry if you're offended.
stories | Reviewer: Death'sGirl | 1/14/10
The funny thing about this song is that, reading all the reviews, we see that everybody could fit it into a different story. I must say I'm not different and am writing a story and the song fits perfectly. Well, I have to thank WT for making such amazing songs.
Pure excellence... | Reviewer: Elysium | 5/30/09
I've been a fan of WT for a long time, but I just found this song and I must admit that it's pure excellence. It perfectly describes the last book of a trilogy I am writing at the moment; the main character's best friend possesses an ethereal energy which is the only hope of ending a war and holding the city against a demonic army, but to release it he must die. I think of the first verse as from his point of view, and the rest of it from the main character's point of view, as she is begging him not to sacrifice himself. Again, great song, and I love WT and Sharon as always!
i love WT!!!best song ever... | Reviewer: DARKWinGedAngeL | 12/31/08
Man I just heard about this song when i was watching Final Fantasy Dissidia trailer on youtube and i just had to buy the CD... I went to the shop the next morning and i got the CD! I finally found it... It took me quite a while since i live in Bosnia and we dont have much good CD shops so...
I love the...
"Don't you die on me
You haven't made your peace
Live life, breathe, breathe"
Thnx and bb...
WT 4 Evah...!
Totally awesome | Reviewer: Shade | 11/15/08
I love this song. I was writing a story, and then when I got interested in WT and bought the CD, I made the plot of the story revolve around this song. It worked beautifully. WT, you ROCK. Among my favorite bands of all time, if not THE favorite.
This song is damn good and you know it! | Reviewer: Raven | 5/7/08
The "middle part" as you call it, Cem, is just as good as the rest of the song-which is freaking awesome I might add. "Dark Wings" is unbelievably amazing. I love the stanza: "Don't you die on me/You haven't made your peace/Live life, breathe, breath!" It's somehow dark and commanding with a bit of hope... denied hope for a friend to live through a battle {"As they took your soul away/The night turned into the day/Blinded by your rays of life/Gave us the strength we needed"}. This is my new favorite song, by WT or any other band... and it takes a lot to kick out "The Howling" on my list...
the middle part is unnecessary | Reviewer: cem | 12/27/07
The song really catches you instantly and changes your mood. You really feal enchanted at first but the middle part of the song is really i dont know what to say for it. I think they tried to make a crechendo but didnt work out. I edited it and take out the section i dislike :)
