And We Run Lyrics

It burns into your heart, the darkness that you fear
You were never free, and you never realized
And love, is a word you've never heard
Your heart is cold cause it burns, the desire to leave the mind

Take your breath til nothing's left
Stars of life upon your chest
And I know you wherever you go

And We Run and we don't look back
And we run til we've had enough
And we run, tell me how to run
And we run, til we break down
And we run til we fall apart
And we run til we've had enough

Don't blink, you'll miss it
Lift up your head. We gotta get gone
Yeah, we outta here
Don't blink, you'll miss it
Lift up your head
Too late, we gone
Yeah, we outta here

And we run, for this killing love
And we run, tell me how it's enough
And we run, far ahead we go

I'ma break these chains, ran through the rain
Never looked back, never quit, worked through the pain
This blood in my veins run cold when I hate
Give enough to keep sane but I never lose hope
This is my time now, no time for tears to celebrate
Put it in the air right now
Never back down, you'll never wear my crown
cause it weighs too much and I crush every motherfucking thing I touch
This is what I've never loved so much
Get involved what's the worst stand up
Here my mic before I ever get far
Man in lights, you lost all my trust
Now it's time to face all of us
Get in line just to spar with us
And it feels so far from us, just take my hand and run

And we run, for this killing love
And we run, tell me how it's enough
And we run, til we never don
And we run til we fall apart
And we run, til it's enough

Yeah, we out of here

Don't blink, you'll miss it
Lift up your head
We gotta get gone
Yeah, we outta here
Don't blink, you'll miss it
Lift up your head
Too late, we gone
Yeah, we outta here

And we run, for this killing love
And we run, tell me how it's enough
And we run, til we never don
And we run til we fall apart
And we run, til it's enough

Don't blink, you'll miss it
Lift up your head
We gotta get gone
Yeah, we outta here
Don't blink, you'll miss it
Lift up your head
Too late, we gone
Yeah, we outta here

And We Run

This song is described by frontwoman Sharon den Adel as an anthem about how to live your life. It features the rapper Xzibit; she told Ultimate-Guitar.com about the collaboration: "We contacted the management and they contacted him and pretty fast afterwards we were talking to Xzibit," Adel said. "He heard the song and liked the song and we told him what the song was about. I must say I didn't talk to him but Robert (Westerholt, guitar) did. I was still recording my vocals at the time he was talking to Xzibit actually on Skype."

Adel told Ultimate-Guitar how the band made several attempts at balancing between rap and rock, before coming up with this track: "We just tried and tried constantly with several songs and just taking rap music from the Internet and trying it on our songs," she said. "For a lot of songs it didn't work and finally we had this song 'And We Run' and we felt like, 'OK, this could really work with this song.'"

"Combining this with a rap kind of voice like Xzibit's, which is very dark and very heavy and has a lot of bass in it, was a good contrast with mine," Adel continued. "He was like the perfect person to ask for this song and also because he already tried a lot of experimental stuff on his own things. He already tried rap with guitars and orchestration and we felt like, 'OK, he's somebody who's really open-minded or open for this kind of collaboration.'"

Xzibit said about the collaboration: "When I heard about the enquiry from Within Temptation to do a track together and Googled them, I was surprised to say the least. Once I had spoken to the band and heard the song, though, it all made total sense and it was fun to discover new ground outside of our genres!"†¨
Robert Westerholt added: "'And We Run' song is about how you've got to live your life now. He's rapping at full force on this song, it's really heavy."
