Within Temptation - "Entertain You" (video)

Don't be mistaken
Your bloody time's up
This ain't no game
No we're not here to entertain you.

You get your fix sitting on your throne.
You want it all and the price,
It doesn’t matter.
The world is yours
And you think you know it all,
Know it all.

I know that smile
So I should have known.
You sold me out
For a reckless bet you burnt me.
Of the ground,
Now won't back down anymore.

You think you own me
But I wouldn't be so sure.
You want a battle
But you’re gonna lose a war.

Go to hell I'm not here to entertain you.
Just walk away or face the showdown.
I won't bow I don't care about the bleeding.
cause our freedom's undefeated

My soul on fire, burning desire
make no mistake cause the stakes are getting higher.
Go to hell, I'm not here to entertain you.
I'm not here to entertain you.

Don't be mistaken.
Your bloody time's up.
This ain't no game, no we're not here to entertain you.

Pull your face like you didn't know.
Like you cared and we'd buy your sorry story.

Blame the sea, blame the moon for all
don't you see we're the ones with the redemption
The time keeps turning round, turning round
Now the time is gone you're going down

You think you own me but I wouldn't be so sure.

Go to hell I'm not here to entertain you.
Just walk away or face the showdown.
I won't bow, I don't care about the bleeding.
cause our freedom's undefeated.

My soul on fire, burning desire.
Make no mistake cause the stakes are getting higher.
Go to hell, I'm not here to entertain you
I'm not here to entertain you.

In your mind you deny all the suffering
You've take sides cause you lost it ain’t your fight now
You don't care anymore cause you lost the crown now
We're not here to entertain you.

Go to hell I'm not here to entertain you.
Just walk away or face the showdown.
I won't bow, I don't care about the bleeding.
cause our freedom's undefeated.

My soul on fire, burning desire.
Make no mistake cause the stakes are getting higher.
Go to hell, I'm not here to entertain you
I'm not here to entertain you.

Με single αποχαιρετούν δισκογραφικά το 2020 οι Within Temptation. Φέρει τον τίτλο "The Purge" και κυκλοφόρησε τον προηγούμενο μήνα. Περιέχει δύο τραγούδια εις... διπλούν! Από την μία η κανονική τους εκδοχή κι από την άλλη σε ορχηστρική (instrumental) έκδοση...

Sharon den Adel: «There’s always a group of people in society that doesn’t fit in and somehow we always have a need to emphasize that they do not fit in by singling them out, cornering them in all sorts of ways - think of viral videos, fights on the streets et cetera.

These people didn’t ask to be different, they simply are just different. The beauty is that by being different, these people bring so much color to our society, since our society is so uniform! These people are not here for our entertainment, so we can feel good about ourselves. If you don’t realise that, it’s maybe time for bit more self reflection and wonder why you are participating in such behaviour.»
