Within Temptation - The Purge (official music video)

Stay up to date on any Within Temptation news:

Lyrics:
Got no scars cut on my skin,
only my truth is wearing thin
and it hollows me.
It hollows me.

I hate the darkness of my past.
The cold rebelling, it drives me mad
and it follows me.
It’s carving the heart out of me.

I’ve got to bleed it out.
All my thought intoxicated ‘cause the weight on me.
It buries me alive.

It pulls me down right into the darkness.
It pulls me down and I can’t resist.

Let me feel it ‘cause I don’t know, I can’t see.
All I feel is I'm breaking up.
Oh, can’t you see it’s taking over, over me.
Can’t you see?

Yeah, you want me to fight it and you want me to let go.
Yeah, you tell me to fight it and you damn me if I don’t.
So, let me bleed it out and purge me.
I can't see, no I can't see, no I can't see.

And I feel I'm breaking.

My defiance made me strong
but now I’m doubting what I have done
and it's killing me, it's killing me.

I hate to see what I’ve become.
I find no peace, no justice done,
This gravity, it's carving the heart out of me.

I’ve got to bleed it out.
All my thoughts intoxicated, 'cause the weight on me
It buries me alive.
It pulls me down right into the darkness.
It pulls me down and I can’t resist.

Let me feel it 'cause I don’t know, I can’t see.
All I feel is I'm breaking up.
Oh can’t you see it’s taking over, over me.
Can’t you see?

Yeah, you want me to fight it and you want me to let go.
Yeah, you tell me to fight it and you damn me if I don’t.
So, let me bleed it out and purge me,
I can't see, no I can't see, no I can't see.

Thank you for watching the live premiere together with us. <3

[davidogundipe]

Raise your hands if you believe within temptation is one of the best bands in the world.

[wiso]

This song is giving me old WT fusion with new WT and I'm living for it

[juniormendoza]

One of the most beautiful voices in this music genre

[thorfinntv]

Artists like Within Temptation need to become more mainstream in the USA. People don't know what they are missing.

[wtofficial]

Sharon will be entering the chatbox today at 05:30PM CET to answer all your questions and watch the music video premiere together with you at 6PM! If you already have a question, please send them in.

[malphadour]

Their current drummer takes them to another level - this guy is something else

[XandriaRavenheart]

I'm pretty sure Sharon is some sort of immortal being, she just doesn't age at all.

[l.hendriks]

The video takes me back to 2003... the dress, the movements, the hair... prestine gothic drama.

[xibir]

I just love Sharon's voice.

And her epic move 1:18

[joepalladino]

Within Temptation was the band that got me into sympho gothic metal. Been a fan since their first album.

[Moonsunband]

*Sharon's voice is simply amazing! 😍🤘*

[saulomagalhaes]

After more than 20 years, this band manages to get even more and more relevant to the metal/rock scene... In times when music gets more and more disposable.. That's amazing! Thank you Within Temptation!

[advaitpetiwale]

The soundscape of this song is a return to form. It's drop tuned like Resist, heavy like The Heart of Everything and The Unforgiving, and symphonic like The Silent Force.

[arlindo.rodrigues]

I've been a WT fan since The Silent Force and I can say: they always try something new. Never repeat themselves. And still being so amazing with the years.

[michaelmejia]

Finally, something good that happened in 2020. This song is amazing.

[Kritak]

The woman from Stand My Ground survived! She is back!

[lwindflowerl]

Sharon is like the prettiest omg her acting and her voice are perfect !!

[chrisatherton]

For me, as an old fan, this is pure joy. The darkness in the lyrics, the old aesthetic, the mother earth-heart of everything moves, the witchy vibe, etc.
All that combined, brings me pure joy. Thanks Within for that, and I hope to see more surprises like this

[pocahotassjade]

Did anyone else get excited when Sharon did the old school hand thing at 0:35 ? I did!
