Within Temptation - Wireless lyrics
'Wireless’ marks the start of a new era - one in which we keep our DNA alive but build further upon our sound with powerful riffs, contemporary breakdowns, and epic choruses. This single takes aim at those who, hungry for war and turmoil, manipulate and control the media.
[Within Temptation - Wireless lyrics]
It's the ultimate sacrifice
Like a god, you threw the dice
And then you left us all wireless
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I started to wonder, wonder
Why is your smile so callous?
I'm here going under, under
Why is your heart so heartless?
I know, I know
I'm such a fool
It's here, you wear the mark of shame
It's here, just like the mark of Cain
You never cared for us, just our halo
With its glorious force to draw more souls in
You never cared for us, our dreams evaporating
You left us hеre without a safety-pin
You nevеr cared for us, just our halo
Our bloody halo
Our bloody halo
Try to elevate your demise
You got everything sanctified
All is shattered and is wireless
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
We're forced through the gauntlet, gauntlet
Like mice in a maze, we're running
We know we go under, under
Like moths to the flames we're falling
We know, we know
It is cruel
It's here, you wear the mark of shame
It's here, just like the mark of Cain
You never cared for us, just our halo
With its glorious force to draw more souls in
You never cared for us, our dreams evaporating
You left us here without a safety-pin
You never cared for us, just our halo
Our bloody halo
It will reach for you
It will try to turn you over
The feeling should wake you up
It will reach for you
When it all falls apart
It's frightening
They're watching you
Just watching you
It's here, you wear the mark of shame
You never cared for us
Our dreams evaporating
You left us here without a safety-pin
You never cared for us, just our halo
Our bloody halo
Our bloody halo
Like a god, you threw the dice
And then you left us all wireless
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I started to wonder, wonder
Why is your smile so callous?
I'm here going under, under
Why is your heart so heartless?
I know, I know
I'm such a fool
It's here, you wear the mark of shame
It's here, just like the mark of Cain
You never cared for us, just our halo
With its glorious force to draw more souls in
You never cared for us, our dreams evaporating
You left us hеre without a safety-pin
You nevеr cared for us, just our halo
Our bloody halo
Our bloody halo
Try to elevate your demise
You got everything sanctified
All is shattered and is wireless
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
We're forced through the gauntlet, gauntlet
Like mice in a maze, we're running
We know we go under, under
Like moths to the flames we're falling
We know, we know
It is cruel
It's here, you wear the mark of shame
It's here, just like the mark of Cain
You never cared for us, just our halo
With its glorious force to draw more souls in
You never cared for us, our dreams evaporating
You left us here without a safety-pin
You never cared for us, just our halo
Our bloody halo
It will reach for you
It will try to turn you over
The feeling should wake you up
It will reach for you
When it all falls apart
It's frightening
They're watching you
Just watching you
It's here, you wear the mark of shame
You never cared for us
Our dreams evaporating
You left us here without a safety-pin
You never cared for us, just our halo
Our bloody halo
Our bloody halo
About the song Within Temptation - Wireless
Sharon: "'Wireless' is a song about a soldier who goes to war convinced that he is going for a good cause. He’s indoctrinated by government-controlled media and thinks he’s going to be welcomed back as a savior, only to find out he has been used. This has resulted in people seeing him as a brutal conqueror instead, and now he finds himself on the wrong side. His life and the lives of many are deceived and destroyed.
