Video hit Within Temptation

Within Temptation - Faster

The edited music video, part of Within Temptation 's "Faster & Mother Maiden Short Film".

This is the first of three short films.

These movies give further insight into the concept of Within Temptation's fifth studio album "The Unforgiving" and are based on the comic storyline; the characters are impersonated by actors.

Each film is followed by a band performance that, all together, form a dark and compelling tale of life, love, revenge, rage, and regret.

The first movie, titled "Mother Maiden", ties in with the band's first single & video for 'Faster', introducing the main characters of the narrative.

Faster is the first single from Dutch symphonic metal/rock band Within Temptation's album The Unforgiving.

It had its worldwide radio première on 96.3 Rock Radio on 21 January 2011.

The song's accompanying music video was released on January 31, 2011, alongside the Mother Maiden short film, and reached 35 thousand views on YouTube in its first day.

The single remained in the Dutch Top 100 for thirteen weeks, peaking at number eleven.

As of 2013, the song has already sold 137,762 copies only at the itunes webstore.

The lyrics:

I can't sleep 'cause it's burning deep inside

Like gasoline on a fire running wild

No more fear 'cause I'm getting closer now

So unreal but I like it anyhow

I go faster, faster, faster, faster, faster, faster, faster

And I can't live in a fairytale of lies

And I can't hide from the feeling 'cause it's right

And I go faster, faster, faster, faster for love

I can't live in a fairytale of lies

I can feel that you mesmerize my heart

I feel so free, I'm alive, I'm breaking out

I won't give in 'cause I'm proud of all my scars

And I can see I've been wasting too much time

I go faster, faster, faster, faster, faster, faster, faster

And I can't live in a fairytale of lies

And I can't hide from the feeling 'cause it's right

And I go faster, faster, faster, faster for love

I can't live in a fairytale of lies , a fairytale of lies

And I can't live in a fairytale of lies

And I can't hide from the feeling 'cause it's right

And I go faster, faster, faster, faster for love

And I can't live in a fairytale of lies, a fairytale of lies
