Within Temptation - Stairway To The Skies (Lowlands 2011)

Artist: Within Temptation
Venue: Lowlands 2011
Song: Stairway To The Skies
Album: The Unforgiving
Lyrics:
Seven seconds 'til 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's still aching
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 virtue?
Have I been blinded by regret?
Perdition 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

I'm surprised you haven't posted the new music video for "Fire and Ice"... :)

[OnColdWings]

@SevenSecondsArise there's no need, it's on WT's official channel :D I don't see the point in posting official music videos but I do love that one.

I would like to hear an instrumental version of this song, only guitar, like Ruud did at the end... but all the 6 minutes!

[OnColdWings]

@YouLookism the orchestral version is available with the new comic version. it's lovely

Ruud's solo in the end of the song is soo EPIC :) I love it.

[LightEnchanted]

My favourite ballad from The Unforgiving <3

[jlqt5]

this is my favourite song from within temptation. the bass guitar in this song, the texture and just everything in this song is amazing. the lyrics are written really well and the words really do paint a vivid picture. this stands true for the vast majority of the album and the majority of within temptation's discography.

the girl at 1:55 is pretty much my feelings towards this song; it's very difficult to put it to words.

I played with my electro guitar Ruud Jolie's solo in this song .. if you wanna watch here it is
