The Swan Song by Within Temptation - *with lyrics*

[MrHugmeback]

so sad

[lovdahate2]

I feel so weird saying this but tonight I couldn't fall asleep with out hearing this song once or twice.This beautiful song is so amazing.Thank you for the posting.

[MissWampire]

This song brings shivers...

Very powerful, like craving love.. One of the best songs of WT. Thank You.

[SasorisPuppet]

It's said that the only time a swan sings is right before it dies, thus the term "swan song". I don't know if it's true, but it's a pretty analogy,and it really fits this song. It's so beautiful.~<3

[tatianamanolidou]

amazing song, the best withinetemptation melody, ever done...

[newsiegroylover]

This makes me cry!

[Scoutpower1]

Swans are such beautiful and enchanting, mystical birds!! Like the all-famous Russian ballet (written by the Russian composer Tchaikovsky) "Swan Lake" and the three movies of "The Swan Princess," and even "Barbie of Swan Lake."

[RandomInsanityXD]

@Scoutpower1 swans are kind of mean if you ask me beautiful but vicious

[OfShadowandSubstance]

@RandomInsanityXD I agree, swans are assholes. Beautiful, beautiful assholes.

Reminds me of some girls I knew in school. >_<

[luneth19]

just one word: Amazing~

[GoddessofPoetry9]

Most beautiful song I have heard with English lyrics. I truly love it.

[Sakurablossom432]

This is a very beautiful song I can somehow relate to this...

[Scoutpower1]

@TMMLover555: Thanks for the info. I did not know that. So swans are like mermen and mermaids who are mystical, magical sirens.

[TMMLover555]

@Scoutpower1 no problem. I didnt know that until I saw the top comment. I guess so haha

[Scoutpower1]

How does this beautiful song refer to the swans?

[TMMLover555]

@Scoutpower1 As the highest rated comment used to say, swan's would sing their most beautiful songs when they're about to die. This is a beautiful song about her dying (not really dying, but thats what the song is about) hence the title

[Delirious452]

[ladycucumberington]

@Metalchickgoth I with you, they only have the live version which isn't bad but I still want this one :(

[ladycucumberington]

this song kind of reminds me of the end of Black Swan

[OfShadowandSubstance]

@ladycucumberington Same here! I was just thinking that it'd be perfect for a Black Swan vid. :)

[guitar4936]

cette femme a une superbe voix !!

c'est quoi comme instrument en intro et en solo ?

[misshotbriana]

sooooooooooo soooooooooooothing!!!



[Acryingtear]

*_* This is so beautiful... I just wish they would make a cover of the song "Wishing you were somehow here again" from Phantom Of The Opera... I would be AMAZING!

[XxChrisAnthonyFanxX]

@Acryingtear omggg that would be so amazing!

[Ginzaz]

the yrics are fantastic, im actually with tears right now XDDDD 

[aangfangirl]

I don't think I have heard any of this bands songs...So I believe this is the first song I heard and it is soo beautiful. I should listen to more of their songs :)

[Averekk]

Is it a dream ?

This song is so awesome!

[Madridiq8e]

Touching ... just really really touching

[POTOPhan13]

I just recently was introduced to Within Temptation, and every one of their songs are beautiful:) Much meaningful lyrics!

[ShadowsDiamond]

escusado será dizer algo mais..

[EmmelynneS]

amazing song. <3. Don't get me like heartless, but what font is it? I'm trying to write a nove and i want to use that font. ;x

[littleminnie]

@EmmelynneS Sorry for the late reply! It's a font called Zephyr :D

[EmmelynneS]

@littleminnie Thnx a lot. <3. In Windows movie maker? ;;).

[DarthElcha]

Beautiful song. I've grown to like this band and now they've become my favourite band.

This song fits my Roleplaying character so well.

[001viktoriya]

very pretty and sad...

:(

[001viktoriya]

it's sad...

:(

very pretty

[TheSmallPeg]

Her voice is so beautiful, and the way she sings makes me feel the lyrics to the bone, such a beautiful voice!

[NorthStar20121]

Easily their best song.

[DOMiltdog]

@NorthStar20121

That's debateable. If it's the one you like best, I'm good with that.

[NorthStar20121]

@DOMiltdog

Any other great ballads from them you'd recommend?

[DOMiltdog]

@NorthStar20121

Pale, Forgiven, All I need and Say My Name. Far as I know Sharon hasn't sang Say My Name live. When she does, I see this being her best.

[DOMiltdog]

@NorthStar20121

That's debateable. If it's your favorite, I'm good with that.:)

[omegabkg]

"sniff" loved it. :') i sang along.

[ylenia294]

I love this song *_*

[ducducgiin]

Wow, it's beautiful...... but in the beginning, the pitch was abit too low. And the font is beautiful too.Sometimes, I really don't know what the lyrics are saying. Either I think it's too beautiful I just listen to it, or maybe it was abit like a puzzle to me. Maybe it's about the swan's family. Can someone please answer me?

[tiffinigee]

@ducducgiin i keep trying to answer but this wont let me

[dude00urock]

@tiffinigee It's aright. I already know the answer now. Ts, anyway.

[tiffinigee]

@ducducgiin@ducducgiin its a farwell. the "swan song" comes from legend that the Mute Swan only sings once in its life time, right before it dies. its supposed to be hauntingly beautiful. Socrates said it was so beautiful because the swan was happy because it knew it was returning to god.

[dude00urock]

@tiffinigee Oh!!! What a beautiful legend! Thank you for telling me.

[jole254]

who can sent to me this song? pleas! my skype is julijaa13 . thanks

[welshchick1201]

this is such a beautiful song, i wish i could sing like her, but i know no one will ever be able to sing like her ^^

[jadeorjames]

Hope this song can change and help me fixed the life

[dexterdolphin]

It's ages since I've heard this but it's still great. :)

[marianafoxmccloud]

''the chains to myh life are strong,but soon they will be gone''

[GroenSnake]

[AmyHaruno196x2]

im not exactly sure about the font, but i believe its the font used for twilight?

[please dont kill me. im not a twilightard, i seriously think it is. ^-^']

[xXxLastDyingWordsxXx]

I love Within Temptation, and I love this song! ^0^

[twilightfreakje1996]

within temptation is my favorit band .

I love this song

[pinkvain]

LOVE THE FONT!! love the song

[GethRenmawe]

your comments are actually everywhere I go lol, it's quite frightening

[pinkvain]

oh no! howd u get here?! lol that is really weird

[iloveunot098]

this is one of my favorite songs, along with beauty from pain.

[chicavampiro]

by superchick?

[iloveunot098]

yea, i like it soo much.

no im not emo.

[chicavampiro]

I'm not saying you are emo xDD

I just like their song "Stand in the rain", and other ones... But I like Within Temptation more

[twilightfreakje1996]

within temptation is gothic metal so you're not an emo

[twilightfreakje1996]

within temptation is gothic metal so you're not an emo

[iloveunot098]

i can sort of see why this is called the swan song....can someone tell me to make sure?

[Nazuiko]

Old tales say that a mute swan (or sometimes, swans in general) sing their most beautiful songs just before death. This song is about her dying, obviously. And well, dear god, this is a VERY beautiful song, no? Perhaps Sharon von Dell's most beautiful? XD Sorry if i messed up her name

[Nazuiko]

@Nazuiko Im just glad this isnt a literal Swan Song, and that shes still alive.

[Vally565]

Amazing♥... it is a song about something, not like disco s song about nothing!!!

[WolfeSpirite]

i love Within Temptation and this song is so touching, i love it!

[MBsing]

Its about the conflict about the will to live and the wish to die....

[LadyLuria]

it sounds more like she's tired of living, but she knows there is someone who will be sad if she dies, so she's trying with all her might to stay.

[KiryuuZerosAngel]

I love thi song, its so sad, yet gives hope, love it.

[SkyFireMoonbeam]

Wow, is this a song about suicide? O_O I never really realized it before!

[DanielAuthor22]

I believe the song is about, like finding your end has come tonight, as in from cancer or disease...so lyrically it's about being positive about your ending; that you will see everyone again when in Heaven as an Angel

[Mortvivant93]

I don't think is has to be suicide. I'd guess it's more dieing from a disease like cancer or from old age or something this way.

[hadesxspongebob]

this song makes me think of Greek mythology's Persephone..... the lyrics, at least ^^

god, i love Within Temptation <3

[Annah210]

It's amazing...

[Emma2903]

"in my heart i know i can let go"

oww, it's sad.. =(

[Darkane1990]

epic and beautyful at the same time

[CelticTears101]

I love this song!

[TarjaSenpai]

beautiful song!!

[iluvbluna]

AWESOME SONG

5\5!!! =)

[LadyLuria]

this song makes me feel tired. and sounds kind of familiar...

[eclipeser]

ignorance...

[goliathlup1]

Lol i must have said something bad! I dont remember though.

[TheEmolover12]

[AMTFH2]

love

[imagummybear14]

wonderful, and totally, and absolutely gorgeous =)

[imagummybear14]

oops!! erase the second "and" from your memories, please

[JustineDepp14]

gorgeous song

[punkloveinpurple]

think he might like you?? =)

[celticstuffrox]

I love this song!!

[GacktBishiFan]

pretty sounding

[sweetlemonlove]

soooooo cool!

[sweetlemonlove]

this song goes great with "blood and chocolate" a movie should be made of the riddles of epsilon and then the song should be put with it cept'....the swans are evil in this story...which is puzzling since swans are usually portrayed as angelic and beautiful..........well, anyways this song is lovely and one of my favorites along with "walking in the air", and "Mordreds lullaby"!

[fuzzboo]

why, why, why is this song a BONUS track? it's too good

[kiaragirl101]

I love this song!

Good job! <3

[Lilitush]

Why did they call this song the Swan Song, it doesn't sound like swans and uhm... a lot like someone dying x)

But it's still the best song ever ;)

[Death6734]

It is said that when a swan is dying than she's sings on a angelic voice and than shes dies :(.And well Sharon has an angelic voice (but she's not dying)

:)

[14Ygdrassyl88]

This song tells a story of a swan who's about to take it's last fly, means that it's going to fly away and die...

[littleminnie]

Ach, sorry! I meant to reply to one of your comments but I accidentally removed it! Someone who was suggesting that a video should be made with this song and twilight clips. and then said that you wished you had this song on cd! (sorry I removed it!)

I can send it to you too if you would like, just send me a message with your email address via youtube messages.

[HrothgarXII]

What CD is this from? I can't find this song on iTunes anywhere (the version that isn't live)

[littleminnie]

It's a bonus track from their album The Silent Force, so you may not be able to find it.

I can send it to you if you'd like, just tell me your email address via Youtube message.

[lovelylioness12]

can u send it to me, too?

[ravenstar100]

@HrothgarXII amazon.co.uk has (A) version, its live but you only hear a litlle of the croud at the start and end, and the song itself sounds fine.

hope i helped!

[HrothgarXII]

@ravenstar100 Thank you so much :)

[ILUVDARKNESS96]

why is every thing about twilight, im not mad just curios, but why cant they make somthin bout tht movie dead silence?

[AndreaLuvsSos]

It makes no sense but i Love it! 5/5

[PDDR2008]

my duaghter loves this song

[hippycris]

can't believe her voice, the lyrics, the music. everything's perfect

[SoloDomoProductions]

Yes what is the font called? It's the same font on the Twilight books

[littleminnie]

'Zephyr'

:)

[3256368]

wats da font u used?

[littleminnie]

It's called 'Zephyr' and yes, its the same one used with the Twilight Novels.

[tquri]

AWESOME!

[spanishrose0214]

where did you find that font? And how did you get it to work on whatever program you used to make the vid? I've downloaded several fonts, but can't seem to get them to work in the Word Processer program I have on my computer.

[littleminnie]

I've looked around everywhere and cannot find it online but I can send it to you (Give me your email address via youtube messages)

Once you have the file, wherever it's from, you have to install it in:

My Computer/ C Drive / WINDOWS / Fonts.

Then restart microsoft word and it should be in there installed for when you want to use it.

[bloodynightroses]

The lyrics and the tune itself are so beautiful........ and so sad.........

[UzumakiRocks]

Love this song. It's so beautiful.

[exiledhuntress]
