Within Temptation - Never-ending Story lyrics

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.
