That narration during the intro and the new string rendition's just lifted this song up to a whole new level.

Sharons Stimme soundso und Charisma sind nicht von dieser Welt, einfach nur fesselnd und himmlisch❤

[Purgatoran]

Never has a band rocked on a level this hard as this one. Love how WT always goes all out for it's concerts

[MultiSilko]

This song will and always have been hooking me up emotionally.. Thanks Within-Temptation ..

[chrisbennett]

This song exemplifies how powerful music can be and that music is so much more than pretty noise.

[MrSoccerball]

Absolutely Incredible voice. Gives me chills. So so talented.

[matthewvp]

Absolutely beautiful. One of my all-time favourite WT songs!

[najrenchelf]

THAT BRIDGE IS PROBABLY THE BEST EVER! 😍😍😍😍😍 THE POWER OF IT!😍😍😍😍😍

I've played this song on the piano after a good friend had to move away after having lived together in the same house for one and a half years - and I started crying, because the emotional power of this song is just absolutely ridiculous!
Dank u wel Within Temptation! ❤️ from 🇱🇻

Seven seconds to the rise
Can't believe I'm still alive
And heaven was waiting for me
I thought this would be the end
But I know you'll understand
All that is keeping me here
I dream of a stairway to the skies
My angel is coming down from heaven to take me
I reach out but then you fade away
Whenever you call for me
Know that I'm only one step behind
My senses tell me I have changed
But one thing still remains
I'm torn and the hate still aches
I slowly start to realize
We won't reunite
I still have to march on through
I dream of a stairway to the skies
My angel is coming down from heaven to take me
I reach out but then you fade away
Whenever you call for me
Know that I'm only one step behind
Is it a curse or a fortune?
Have I been blinded by regret?
Redemption awaits
My soul is at stake
Will I find a stairway to the skies
In the end?
I dream of a stairway to the skies
My angel is coming down from heaven to take me
I reach out but then you fade away
Whenever you call for me
Know that I'm only one step behind
Know that I'm only one step behind

[EmbraceWithin]

Epic performance, it reminds me of old school rock and roll bands 🤘
