Never Ending Story en Within Temptation

Armies have conquered and fallen in the end
Kingdoms have risen then buried by sand
The Earth is our mother, she gives and she takes
She puts us to sleep and in her light we'll awake
We'll all be forgotten, there's no endless fame
But everything we do is never in vain

We're part of a story, part of a tale
We're all on this journey, no one is to stay
Where ever it's going, what is the way?

Forests and deserts, rivers, blue seas
Mountains and valleys, nothing here stays
While we think we witness, we are part of the scene
This never-ending story, where will it lead to?
The Earth is our mother, she gives and she takes
But she is also a part, a part of the tale

We're part of a story, part of a tale
We're all on this journey, no one is to stay
Where ever it's going, what is the way?
We're part of a story, part of a tale
Sometimes beautiful and sometimes insane
No one remembers how it began

We're part of a story, part of a tale
We're all on this journey, no one is to stay
Where ever it's going, what is the way?
We're part of a story, part of a tale
Sometimes beautiful and sometimes insane
No one remembers how it began
