Within Temptation - Don’t Pray For Me lyrics:
I’m not lost in the dark.
I’m not blind to what I see.
I know the river is wide and the water is deep.
I feel the cold, my heart skips a beat.
I don’t need your absolution, so don’t hold that sword over me.
For my confessions I don’t need a church,
I don’t need salt to know where it hurts.
Don’t pray for me, no…
I cannot breathe for you.
You’re trying over and over, denying what I feel.
And every time you bow down your head
to pray.. Don’t pray for me, don’t pray for me!
Oh, I needed a revolution. I never had a war in mind and now the river runs dry and the fall is deep. The truth is dark and makes us bleed.
In hell is where I stand, it’s where I find my inner strength.
For my confessions I don’t need a church.
I don’t need salt to know where it hurts.
Don’t pray for me, no…
I cannot breathe for you.
You’re trying over and over, denying what I feel.
And every time you bow down your head
to pray.. Don’t pray for me, don’t pray for me!

It's like THOE and Resist had a baby. Those angelic mezzo vocals near the end, I really missed that! Great song WT as usual.
Exactly!!! It really feels like a perfect mesh of both eras
Agree!! 😌💯
Those are the more recent eras, they have a very diversity of influences, sound and plots in all their musical career.
Right? I think this song could have perfectly been included in THOE! I hope they keep making more songs like this because 1997-2007 was their best era, in my opinion. I miss the sound and aesthetics of the four albums they released in their first decade of life as a band. 🖤🎸
“Will all who wish to die please raise their hands")
I'm not lost in the dark
I'm not blind to what I see
I know the river is wide and the water is deep
I feel the cold, my heart skips a beat
I don't need your absolution
So don't hold that sword over me
For my confessions I don't need a church
I don't need salt to know where it hurts
Don't pray for me, no...
("Will all who wish to die please raise their hands")
I cannot breathe for you
You're trying over and over, denying what I feel
And every time you bow down your head to pray
Don't pray for me, don't pray for me!
Oh I needed a revolution
I never had a war in mind
And now the river runs dry and the fall is deep
The truth is dark and makes us bleed
In hell is where I stand
It's where I find my inner strength
For my confessions I don't need a church
I don't need salt to know where it hurts
Don't pray for me, no...
I cannot breathe for you
You're trying over and over, denying what I feel
And every time you bow down your head to pray
Don't pray for me, don't pray for me!
("I'm going to let you pray for me")
I cannot breathe for you
You're trying over and over, denying what I feel
And every time you bow down your head to pray
Don't pray for me, don't pray for me!
After 15+ years I am FINALLY going to see WT live
They are fantastic live, you'll love it!
So jealous! But inspired! Have a blast!!!
I hope it was fantastic! I've loved WT for many years, but I also really hate crowds... so I've actually only been to two concerts in my life (at age 34) because I just hate all the people... But one of those two was World's Collide. Do not regret.
This song gives me chills.. May be because my philosophy about life is exactly what they wrote in the description "allow people to pursue their own destiny.”
I don't think WT has ever made a bad song, and this just further proves that. This song is amazing.
Yes, ceartinly they always try to be different in each album and they don't have a loss of quality instead some songs are destinated to be singles and they are more commercial. It happened also in Mike Oldfield's works, he used to compose albums with radio hits like Moonlight Shadow or Family Man which are commercial but really good songs.
No, this is fairly mah actually. They have made many bad songs since ~2015.
The hardest question... How can we not love Within Temptation, with songs like these? This is so powerful!
It's really pretty easy not to like it
So true! Their versatility and talent are amazing--no matter what new thing they try, it always sounds SO good.
🥰🥰🥰🥰 I love Sharon's voice. Ya extrañaba esos coros en las canciones de Whitin temptation. 😍 Es una fusión del estilo más reciente mezclado con el estilo anterior.
Sharon's voice has aged so well. Yet another amazing song.
Why is this the best metal band ever? God
Because she's real.
Quotes from WT that I’ll take with me forever: “Don’t need salt to know where it hurts”. Together with “What did they aim for when they missed your heart”; “You’ve opened the door now don’t let it close”; and “More than words the silence teaches how to see and to feel what is real”.
Their lyrics are great. It's very difficult to make a Top 10 Quotes in Lyrics with Within Temptation. One of my favourites is a verse from Forgiven "For so long I've tried to shield you from the world".
Which song is the first one from?
@@nyx.blackx this one we’re commenting about here
@@saulmagal5734 I'm sorry english is not my mother tongue and I can't understand the text that good unless I have the lyrics. That's why I only listen to music with lyrics videos
Not a deep thinker I see.
Good tune. Depressing lyrics. Love this band, but as a Christian, I will continue to pray for them. I hope for nothing but the best for WT. I pray not to force my beliefs onto others, but out of love and concern for those I care about. Don't see anything hurtful about that.
There is nothing hurtful about genuine prayers, that I agree. But I have met many people in my country where some religious communities commit injustice but are covered because they are "religious" and if anyone exposes them, they would say "You are blind. We will pray for you. We are the good. You shall become one of us." and gave prayers a different meaning other than genuine care and love. It is really sad actually. And I think the song talks about that rather than heartfelt prayers.
It’s not hurtful to pray for others to be happy, healthy, and safe. But this song is about not respecting others differences and praying for them only to see things the same way you do-like the harmful “pray the gay away” rhetoric.
@UCvCafr9qOyf2AXzAefM-KQw Idk, I think the lyrics do make pretty clear references to the specific kinds of people and prayers she's talking about! This is how I interpret it all:
"I'm not lost in the dark/I'm not blind to what I see" -> people who only pray for you so you'll "see the light" aka come around to their way of thinking because if you're not the same as them, you must be wrong
"I don't need your absolution, so don't hold that sword over me" -> essentially people who try to make you feel guilty and wrong just so they can say they, or God, will forgive you if you do what they think is right
"for my confessions, I don't need a church" -> I interpret this one to be against people who believe the only way to have a personal relationship with a higher power is through organized religion, or it could also be interpreted as not needing a higher power at all to have a forgiving relationship with yourself
"I don't need salt to know where it hurts" -> talking about rubbing salt in wounds so again, people trying to make you feel guilty and ashamed for being who you are, especially if you're already struggling to accept yourself
"You're trying over and over, denying what I feel" -> this seems as clear as you can get that the song is specifically against people who only pray for you to try and bring you around to their beliefs, even if all you want is to be respected for the way you are
Two horns up if you think Within Temptation is one of the best bands out there 🤘
Not with this they ain't 👇
@@Closminding They already proved themselves. They are already the best whether you like it or not. 😉 🤘
@@thesexyskywalker3283 They were amongst the best once but not any longer
@@Closminding I say they already earned everything. I know this new song is not their best work but it is still excellent imo. They are a old band and at this point many bands also retire so I can cut them some slack.
@@thesexyskywalker3283 they are certainly an old band, But the duty of a true fan is not to cut their idols some slack but keep them on their toes.
I feel these lyrics in my bones. I suffer from several chronic illnesses and I've been "prayed for" against my will, and given harmful advice that just feels like having salt rubbed into my wounds. Love this song, and the vocals are fire!
Wow, I felt that. I can totally see why this spoke to you.
If RESIST AND THOE had a child, it would be this song.🖤
WT has been one of my favorite bands since I was a teen. I'm in my 30s now and i still love them just as much! I enjoy the way they're always evolving.
Sharon still has the voice of an angel!
Que tremenda cancion, WT nunca defrauda, son unos musicos/compositores increibles...Sharon, gracias por existir 😍
Sharon’s vocals and beauty are aging like fine wine. Her vocals are better than ever
This is interesting. Accepting the fact that people can and should I have different beliefs also is to accept that people will disagree with your beliefs and think they are wrong.
People can accept others’ beliefs but they do not have to agree with them
Чудово!!!
Маєте рацію, файно.
авжеж))
👍👍👍🤘
Hell yeah Within Temptation is coming back in full force let's goooo!
Sharon, and Within Temptation, are simply one of the greatest bands out there. This one cuts right to the core, end of the world urgency, triumph in the face of defeat, the only way forward is to jump off the cliff and rise. Transcendance in the abyss of chaos.
I've been a proud fan of WT for almost 14 years now. Sharon's vocals never cease to amaze and inspire me!
Been a fan for 11 years since I was 16. Had a few drinks with people with varied musical tastes, and never once looked back.
I always trust this band to deliver super awesome songs everytime 👌🏻
Ils sont mega top
x2 🏳️🌈
Absolute masterpiece. The heavy instrumentals with the choir sound amazing, and Sharon's voice just keeps getting better!!
Her voice never fails to give me goosebumps!! 😍
I'm listening this masterpiece for 7th time and still getting goosebumps all over my body.
Can't believe what I hear, it has "Heart of Everything" vibe. 🥰
Thank you!
Very dark, the vocals is brilliant as always. Sharons voice bring this song to a higher level! Like this darkness!
With this industrial sound, Sharon ( well, she always is) is the clear highligt of the song. A very good song, though i miss the old guitars. The choir is really nice. Great job again guys! You are one of a kind!♥️
Hydra is a monster. Cut one head, this head grow again and cut yours. :x
this sounds promising, sounds like it could have easily been on the heart of everything or the silent force, their best albums.
My favourites are the first ones, Enter and The Dance, it's amazing how in 1995 someone in an underground production could be able to make an album with an unique sound, very close to Doom Metal.
Yes, I agree it could have been in The heart of everything (maybe not in The silent force). I really like WT's first four studio albums. After that they went downhill altough I'm not going to deny that after 2007 they kept making good music. Too different, but good music, still
Can't believe how powerful is this song, it feels so reassuring and familiar to me, thanks WT for this materpiece 🖤
It's a weak song
@@Closminding just put a dislike and don't listen to this band anymore instead of bothering everyone
@@lwindflowerl I love Within Temptation and know them inside out so I'm always going to listen to anything new they produce s
@@lwindflowerl ps I did put a dislike
@@Closminding so what's the point of expressing your point of view to people who haven't asked? If I find this song powerful it's my opinion
When she sings "I cannot breathe for you", it reminds me of Amy Lee and Evanescence.
The vocals are amazing 🇧🇷
Has anyone else been listening to this song on repeat or is it just me?
Perfecttt, so proud 🖤🤘🏼
Brazil loves U 🇧🇷
Now that's good stuff. Sharon certainly hasn't lost her fire.👍🎵
Que música perfeita 😍😍😍😍🖤
That's what makes us all brothers and sisters... it's what we all have in common. WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE.
Yay, another song to memorize so that I can scream it out for my third time seeing them on my birthday in (10/17) October!! 🤘🏽😁🤩🎉🎉 🤘🏽The last time that I saw them, the crowd yelled out the words to their songs so much, and so loud, that Sharon barely got to sing LOL
Wow managed to check the song 15 seconds after they published. Love the song!!
so you have 14 options to get better
Another absolutely brilliant song! Thank you Within Temptation and thank you Sharon for your beautiful voice!
It is awesome!!!
Thanks Within Temptation
Greetings from México
Love you all
perfect drumming i can't wait for the video of this one
My love for this band's music and
...Sharon's voice is like counting stars
There's no end
Within Temptation never disappoints me, cause their music is always a masterpiece and a motivation for writing my stories and for the activities I do along the day.
It's like the background music that sounds in some scenes of movies. I mean, Within Temptation is my main soundtrack for my live. Xp
Greetings from Mexico.
Me too
@@user-zn3ze5ev8s That's cool. I'm not the only one. 😊
Stunning song with powerful lyrics, prayer doesn't change anything -- just a coping mechanism. We need more than that to enact substantial change.
How do you know?
@@Closminding I live in reality. A prayer has never stopped a live shooter in progress, magically end someone's depression, not gotten people the healthcare they need, not end bigotry.
Next question.
@@Dregen1 did with me mate. I don't need to ask another question. 💫
@@Dregen1 ps ... I live in Reality too
First class. 🎸👍
Beautiful powerful words from a beautiful and powerful woman
T'es la meilleure sharon, ta chanson est canon.. Je t'adore, bravo à vous tous
Holy moly, this is so good! What magic do you guys use to make perfect music every time???
Some dark magic, I assume
Sharon is without doubt the greatest female singer that ever lived. Fact!
Well no. She's fantastic and a beauty and WT band is awesome but Floor Jansen wins that trophy.
@@Donb1233 wins trophy for greatest range with the most unlistenable voice, in my opinion
The real Within Temptation has emerged after a decade long hiatus!
I really love your music!! The best band ever!! Please, please comeback to Mexico 🙏 great song! You are amazing
x2 please

X3... 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
So powerful, and VERY timely.
🔥 I absolutely LOVE that they added a soprano part for Sharon at the end, similar to what they did in Raise you banner. It merges the old sound and the new SO well! 🔥✨🥲 Also love the choir and the dark vibe to the song, melancholic yet powerful. Just what I’ve wished for… WT is back!? 🤩
In love with this song. Within Temptation has been my fave band for 17 years and the thing I love the most about them is the bravery the have, because they don't play safe, they face challenges and risks everythime discovering and adding new elements in their sound without losing quality. Many people whines a lot cause of it, but this is the real charm WT has, you'll never know what to expect and that is priceless🔥🔥🔥
Sharon w tym kawałku wymiata jej głos robi swoje,miodzio
Gives me instant goose bumps. Love the dark vibe. Looking forward to buy the new album. Sharon and Within Temptation forever! 🤘🤘🤘❤️❤️❤️
WT at it's best! Powerful instruments and Sharon's voice, incredible
*its
Very sad. Sanctus Espiritus (Holy Spirit), redeem us from our solemn hour. Can we break free from chains of never ending agony? Only by the work of the Sanctus Espiritus.
One of the best songs you have ever done guys! I love it, this is 🔥🔥
I love this song, it's intense and moving. I'm fascinated with the path that WT is taking, it's intense, dark, bright... they flirt with aggrotech/dark-electro music (am I the only one who perceives it?), I would love to see how they would combine an aggrotech/dark-electro sound with rock/metal music.
background choir ❤
Sharon´s voice 🔥🔥
the music, the guitars🔥
You're right!
Exactly! Your comment is something I feel listening to this song but can't explain exactly!
This is so beautiful, I'm still getting goosebumps after listening to it for a whole day
This is a great band keep my faith up and she has the voice of a Angle.
Que perfeição Sharon ❤️
Beijos do Brasil
a kiss from Brazil
❤️❤️
Sharon voice is fawkin angelic & powerful.
Well it's Within Temptation, the titans
This song sounds like a Mortal Love + In This Moment Mix. I am astonished. DIVINE.
I missed the dark vibes on WT songs. Finally, they are back
Phenomenal voice.
This could be the best Within Temptation song, so powerful and Sharon voice is unbelievable
It's the worst
@@Closminding really what is the best Within Temptation song then
@@hilliard1991 really ..... yes. The best? Well where do I start. There are many best and I couldn't choose between them. But this isn't one of them.
EPIC
POWERFUL
YOU DID IT AGAIN....
SPEECHLESS,ONLY EMOTIONAL TEARS!!!!
ETERNAL LOVE FROM ARGENTINA WT 🇦🇷🇦🇷❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Incrível... como Within Temptation sempre foi
The intro is everything! I mean obviously the song slaps too but the intro gives it that certain "je ne sais quoi"! 🥰
Je ne sais rien
“I don’t need salt to know where it hurts” ❤️🔥
Sounds so epic! So much power in this song! Sharon's voice is simply outstanding!
It's great 🤩 As always Within Temptation doing magic! Love it! Thanks 👍✨🎶🔥
Very reminescent of the "Heart of Everything" era, I absolutely adore it. I really hope the rest of the album is similar in vibes.
yes!!!
I thought the same! This and The Purge both feel like they’ve found a great middle ground between the symphonic elements of that album and the heavier industrial/electronic sound of Resist
Nope. The sound is still within the Resist era.
Not my fave, to be honest...
Definately not to me. The era of 'classic' WT sound is long gone now. But this one is still good, the Metalcore-esque 'entrance' sounds classy, and the whole sound shows that the band aren't going into the pop.
Te amo, Sharon...Sos la mejor!!!!!
Ughhhh so good
I love within temptation they always sound great
Acojonante como todo lo que hace esta banda .
Sharon una diosa ❤️
Gracias, es bonito ver otros fans hispanohablantes como yo... Un abrazo
@@ElvisGarciaTorres Aquí hay otro hehe saludos y sí la canción es joya
Sharon! Omg I swear if you manage to belt out these high notes live I'm gonna lose it. 😱😅
Very good song, outstanding vocal performance. I agree with everyone that it gives THOE vibes and I have been missing those so much. When I would find out that you played The Truth Beneath the Rose at some show I would run to RUclips to find it. I saw it twice live in both México's 2008 shows and it's just so epic.
Anyways, great song! For me it is up there with Shed My Skin (because I also like their newer style tbh). So excited for what is coming! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Дякую за цю надзвичайно сильну пісню! 🖤 Ви ніколи не розчаровували, прекрасно як завжди 🔥🔥🔥
Мені дуже відгукнувся другий куплет, прямо мої відчуття зараз, як і більшості людей з моєї країни 💔
З любов'ю та дякуючи за підтримку 💙💛🫂
My hand is most definitely raised !!!!
Everything needs prayers..yet I personally had a traumatic experience & others prayers weren't enough to better my situation as I was in constant prayers for self & others to better.. as I luv this group..the name through me for a loop..thus proves poetry music books scriptures is often in parables.
A tremendous strength lies in this lyrics, it makes me shiver.
I love that song! I've been supporting the band since the very beginning and traveled to the Netherlands just to attend a few of their gigs a while ago, and I'm still amazed by their music and of course Sharon's voice
Most Within songs grow on me over time.... this one is doing it at gigantic paces. Awesome.
I am in love with this song. I love the intense instruments and powerful vocals, and with the quotes from Cyrano de Bergerac (1950), this song makes my heart hurt in both a good and sad way. Good because the music, vocals and lyrics drive the song and makes be happy, but the reference to my favorite movie, it reminds me that we should not hesitate to make known our love for something or someone, because you never know when it'll be too late. My apologies for the long comment, but all in all, it's such a beautiful masterpiece with smooth instruments, haunting vocals, and beautiful story in the lyrics; this is why I love Within Temptation.
Oh my God. Incredible song, Sharon's voice is amazing. I love Within Temptation!
my 15 years old son is a fan, my 7 year old daughter too and i am continue to make our dreams comme with songs thank the france
So much classic Within Temptation in there while still sounding fresh. 🔥🔥
Дякую за чудову пісню.
Over time, Sharon's voice is getting better ❤️🙌
Simply wish to one-day see Within Temptation live!
🤘🎸❤️😍
Как всегда бесподобно!
Точно!
Brazil here!!!! ❤❤❤🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
What a stunning track. I'm in love! 🥰
Everytime i listen to every new music of within temptation, im very sure to feel two things: goosebumps in my belly and so much love for the band. Love u, guys 💚💛
los escucho desde el 98`s excelente banda siempre. gracias
To provide everyone with some clarity. It sounds like the new album will be next year however, it’s not clear if recent singles will be a product of the new album or even on it. I for one hope the new album takes us back or the heart of everything!
This song is so fire, nice riffs, vocal and a powerful chorus! 🔥🔥🔥
