"Dark Wings" lyrics - WITHIN TEMPTATION

Why was I one of the chosen ones?
Until the fight I could not see
The magic and the strength of my power
It was beyond my wildest dreams

[Chorus:]
Dark wings, they are descending
See shadows gathering around
One by one they are falling
Every time they just strike us down

Don't you die on me, you haven't made your peace
Live life, breathe, breathe
Don't you die on me, you haven't made your peace
Live life, breathe, breathe

[Chorus:]
Dark wings, they are descending
See shadows gathering around
One by one they are falling
Every time they just strike us down

[Bridge:]
As they took your soul away
The night turned into the day
Blinded by your rays of life
Gave us the strength we needed

[Chorus:]
Dark wings, they are descending
See shadows gathering around
One by one they are falling
Every time they just strike us
Dark wings, they are descending
See shadows gathering around
One by one they are falling
Every time they just strike us down
