Текст песни:

Fireflies are flying higher
They draw their wings up in the sky
Something I cannot read now
For my vision is blurred

We are all ruled by our fears below
Higher high
We are stuck and can′t get out again
There′s more than we deny
And there′s more than meets the eye

Fortune, fairytales; we′ve all been told
Our pattern, never built, never begins (?)
I can tell you there can′t always be
A happy end to every tale

We are all ruled by our fears below
Higher high
We are stuck and can′t get out again
And there′s more than meets the eye

We are all breathing the same air
That we share
We all just have to live
We are all equal
No matter black or white

We are all ruled by our fears below
Higher high
We are stuck and can′t get out again
There′s more than we deny
And there′s more than meets the eye

Текст песни:

Born to fight, and we′re born to flee
Doomed to live on ecstasy
Born to lie, and we′re born to cheat
Look in the mirror, who do you see?

Born to flee, and we′re born to fight
Without your mask, you′re terrified
Don′t hide your personality
That′s who you are, your identity

If the virtues of tomorrow
Cause the greed of today
We won′t have a future
Nor liberty

Born to breathe, and we′re born to pursue
That′s all we are supposed to do
The semblance of our liberty
Is nothing more than slavery

Born to flee, and we′re born to fight
Is it failure that′s our delight?
Born to cheat, and we′re born to lie
Look at yourself, have you lost your mind?

If the virtues of tomorrow
Cause the greed of today
We won′t have a future
And no more liberty

If the virtues of tomorrow
Set the need on the way
We won′t have a future nor liberty

Private vice leads to public virtue

Raised to think that we are free
Living in our caves
Being slaves

We lost control of our lives
At the mercy of the waves
Massive waves

Blind to see what′s going on
Conditioned as we are
And we are

We lost control of our greed
But now we face it all
Face our fall

Keeping all that we′ve created
And consuming all that′s possible
Reaching deep into temptation
Nothing can stop us

Guarantee our hard-earned profits
Multiplied ten-fold if possible
Reaching out for new redemption
Nothing avails our needs

My opponent won′t rule out raising taxes.
But I will, and The Congress will push me to raise taxes and I′ll say no.
And they′ll push, and I′ll say no, and they′ll push again, and I′ll say to them:
Read my lips
[George H. W. Bush]

If the virtues of tomorrow
Set the need on the way
We never had a future anyway
We had no future ′till today

Time and tide
Will not wait for anyone

Текст песни:

There is no love!
No love!

I am a duplication
Innocently
I was conceived
So violently
There was no love
There was no love for me
There was only hatred

I am rape
I am hate
I am rape
I am hate

Every day I feel anonymous hate

I am rape
I am hate
I am rape
I am hate

I am so filled with pain
A bruised and darknened soul
Spare me from the
Life that′s full of misery

I don′t want to live that
Way!
I don′t want to live that
Way!

There is no love!

Every day I feel anonymous hate
Forever in the shadow of disgrace

I am rape
I am hate
I am rape
I am hate

I am so filled with pain
A bruised and darknened soul
Spare me from the
Life that′s full of misery

I am so filled with pain
A bruised and darknened soul
Spare me from the
Life that′s full of misery

I don′t want to live that
Way!
[X3]

I am so filled with pain
A bruised and darknened soul
Spare me from the
Life that′s full of misery

Spare me from the
Life that′s full of pain
Spare me from the
Life that′s full of pain

I don′t want to live that
Way!
[X6]

Текст песни:

So sweet caress, never long to last!
You entered my soul and gave hope to my life.

So sweet caress, never hope to last!
You left me behind all alone and aghast
Captured inside such an austere Elysium

Imperfect feelings, futile grief
Love a device against all solitude
As it all went on, the love became
A field in a dream that once had been real

So sweet caress, never long to last!
Destroy this illusion we need a change of fate!
Your frantic thoughts are only a condemned cry

Imperfect feelings, futile grief
Love a device against all solitude
As it all went on, the love became
A field in a dream that once had been real

deinde veritas se praecipitavit

I secretly longed for something
which had never existed

First I thought it was a dream
but then it smashed into reality
Beautiful on the outside, decayed deeply within

I secretly longed for something
which had never existed

Devoted to a body without a soul

Numquam non tibi diffidam

@ Epica

Текст песни:

Chance doesn’t exist
But the path of life is not totally so predestined
Time and chronology show us how all should be
In the ways of existence
To find out why we are here

Being consciousness is a torment
The more we learn is the less we get

No one surveys the whole, focus on things so small
But life’s objective is to make it meaningful
Only searching for this
That which doesn’t exist
Although our ability to relativize remains unclear

Being consciousness is a torment
The more we learn is the less we get
Every answer contains a new quest
A quest to non existence, a journey with no end

I’m not afraid to die
Im afraid to be alive without being aware of it

I’m so afraid to, I couldn’t stand to
Waste all my energy on things
That do not matter anymore

Our future has already been written by us alone
But we don’t grasp the meaning
Of our programmed course of life
We only fear what comes
And smell death every day

Our future has already been wasted by us alone
And we just let it happen and do not worry at all

Our future has already been written by us alone
But we don’t grasp the meaning
Of our programmed course of life
We only fear what comes
And smell death every day
Search for the answers that lie beyond

Being consciousness is a torment
The more we learn is the less we get
Every answer contains a new quest
A quest to non existence, a journey with no end

Текст песни:

Wisdom, knowledge, science

Develops, always, better, faster
This is the final end

A voice in the wilderness
Fights a futile war
Because the strong are deaf
More so then before

Massive disregard
Shows what to expect
Scars on top of scars
Racing toward a future we don′t have

Fear is taking over me, there is nothing I can see

The Future is as certain
As life will come to an end
When time feels like a burden
We struggle with our certain death

Wisdom, knowledge, science

Develops, always, better, faster

We have to guide ourselves
For we cannot stand
One more false pretence getting out of hand

Now fear is the driving force
Taking over us Aad finding out this source
May turn out to be too much to bear

Fear is taking over me, there is nothing I can see
How could this have come to be

The Future is as certain
As life will come to an end
When time feels like a burden
We struggle with our certain death

Wisdom, knowledge, science

Develops, always, better, faster
Defeats us

Science, knowledge, wisdom
Destroys us, always, ever, faster
This is the final end

Thirteen moons
The path to walk
Thirteen moons
The path to talk
Restore all that belongs to us

Thirteen moons
The way to speak
Thirteen moons
Is what we seek
Restore all that was left behind

The Future is as certain
As life will come to an end
When time feels like a burden
We struggle with our certain death

Текст песни:

Quaestio nostra est aeterna
Ultima requies fons vitae
Sed nos eam novam existimemus

@ Epica

Текст песни:

Living at different places
Evading into various spaces
My compass has broken
I′m losing the way
An ongoing madness has led me astray

My past breathes down my neck
And it seems now that all I can do is
Go back to beginnings when all lay ahead
A fading illusion now plagues me instead

In me there′s still a place that fulfils me
A sanctity here that I call home, I run to
When winter descends
If I try, can I find solid ground

I follow elusive paths
Oh, it seems they′ve been written in stone
And the door to a new life is closing so fast
Burning the bridges will not bring me back

I know that in me there′s still a place that fulfils me
A sanctity here that I call home, I run to
When winter descends
If I try, can I find solid ground
Or am I just wasting time?

@ Epica

Текст песни:

Trying to keep myself afloat upon this stream
But a thought is pulling me down
Pulling me all the way down

We are wandering towards a blank infinity
And extinguishing will now be the only way
to diminish your sins
This vortex can′t be filled up again
A hole in space and time

Do you cry to the heaven′s high
when you′re confined in here?
Do you not ever wonder
why these leaden tears will never dry?
They′ll leave behind so many shadows in my mind

High in the sky, all of the clouds are passing by
Wait for this storm, wait for the rain,
and wait for the tears to fall down on me

Do you cry to the heaven′s high
when you′re confined in here?
Do you not ever wonder
why these leaden tears will never dry?
They′ll leave behind so many shadows
Living in me, living in all the memories in my life

Do you wonder why
These tears never dry
Time forced into life
Living in my mind

Can we ever find a way in t his labyrinth without end?

Labyrinth has no end

Which turn should I take?
Left or right?
Should I stay?
Should I be the one?

Lost inside blank infinity

@ Epica

Текст песни:

Feel so warm when you are near
You are all I want to feel
Tell me now: is this for real?
Its hard to breathe...

Were all lost in travel time
Cannot find my peace of mind
When the sun will rise again
Well fly away

Take the stairs to the stars
Wander long
Travel far
Someday

A summer breeze makes
All of our winters freeze
Autumn leaves
Theres no chance for springs romance
We linger on but leave the past behind us
Old lovers live it on new

Windows open up to life
Put your worries all aside
Sacred silence closes doors
For open eyes

Take the stairs to the stars
Wander long
Travel far
Someday
Away

A summer breeze makes
All of our winters freeze
Autumn leaves
Theres no chance for springs romance
We linger on but leave the past behind us
Old lovers live it on new
But chances are so few
And choices are so true

@ Epica

Текст песни:

Quaestio nostra est aeterna
Ultima requies fons vitae
Sed eam ut novam ducemus

We will never know all possibilities to predict what is to come
And so we have illusions to think freely

Once we had been
Rich from within
Did not try to reach
What we couldn’t achieve
Because once we had been
Able to win
From the need to succeed

We need to be innocent to live the life we′ve lived for so long
We need to be blind enough to live the life we live right now

Who possesses your time also possesses your mind

Once we had been
Rich from within
Did not try to reach
What we couldn’t achieve
Because once we had been
Able to win
From the need to succeed

We need to be innocent to live the life we′ve lived for so long
We need to be deaf enough to live the life we live right now

Reach out, touch infinity
Life is just a memory
Time is not the entity
Like it used to be

The Divine Conspiracy
Opens up the reality
Time is not the entity
Like it claims to be

Once we had been
Rich from within
Did not try to reach
What we couldn’t achieve
Because once we had been
Able to win
From the need to succeed

We need to be innocent to live the life we′ve lived for so long
We need to be insensitive to live the life and so ignore it all

Who possesses your time also possesses your mind

Who possesses your time
-Mislead us all, we are not in control
Also possesses your mind
-There is no trace that will lead to this place

Reach out, touch infinity
Life is just a memory
Time is not the entity
Like it used to be

The Divine Conspiracy
Opens up the reality
Time is not the entity
Like it claims to be

Desperately we all
Clutch at the last straw
We stumble and fall
Countdown to die
To heal it all

We will never reach
Our capacities, no more
We cannot expand
Our boundaries

Once we had been
Rich from within
Did not try to reach
What we couldn’t achieve
Because once we had been
Able to win
From the need to succeed

We need to be innocent to live the life we′ve lived for so long
We need to be insensitive to breathe so we can take it all for granted

Reach out, touch infinity
Life is just a memory
Time is not the entity
Like it used to be

The Divine Conspiracy
Opens up the reality
Time is not the entity
Like it claims to be

Текст песни:

Deep in the night, boundless violence will seethe with the danger
Our laws collide not allowing another contender
When the wine drinks itself, you will burn to a cinder
We′re fighting time awaiting the answers

I′ll never let them stake you down
Take you down
I′ll fight to find a way

Is there a way to turn the mind of a barbaric stranger?
Eternal days awaiting for you to awake, my avenger
A cruel fate now condemns us to burn to a cinder
Are we too late, running on empty?

I′ll never let them stake you down
Take you down
I′ll fight to find a way out there
It must be hard
I′ll never let them break you now
Forsake you now
Keep holding on and

Give me answers to my prayers
We′ll never hide, we′ll face the glare
You′re the light I see to, raise the flame and blaze the fire
Give me answer to my prayers
We′ll carry all the weights to bear
Give me sight to see
I know a way is there to keep the flame

Why can′t I bleed with you?
Forever I will be thrown to the wolves
They′ll feed on all our dreams

I′ll never let them stake you down
Take you down
I′ll fight to find a way out there
It must be hard
I′ll never let them break you now
Forsake you now
Keep holding on and

Give me answers to my prayers
We′ll never hide, we′ll face the glare
You′re the light I see to, raise the flame and blaze the fire
Give me answer to my prayers
We′ll carry all the weights to bear
Give me sight to see
I know a way is there to keep the flame

Why can′t I bleed with you?
Forever I will be thrown to the wolves
They′ll feed on all our dreams.

Текст песни:

Don′t believe what you see
Believe in me
In my reality
I am a man of God

God, can′t you hear that I’m begging you?

Don′t believe what you hear
Believe in me
And I will reappear
Salvation here at last

At last someone to answers all my prayers

Hope is a desert running dry
Deep inside
You refuse to face the facts
But pray for life
Find salvations in distress
We will wait
For the day you’ll break out and
Re-awake

Lies

Don′t believe what you see
Believe in me
And my reality
Eternity indeed

Indeed i’ts the end all and be all there’s

Hope is a desert running dry
Deep inside
You refuse to face the facts
But pray for life
Find salvations in distress
We will wait
For the day you’ll break out and
Re-awake

Lies

Domine lesu, demitte nobis debita nostra,
salva nos ab igne inferiori,
perduc in caelum omnes animas
praesertim eas, quae misericordiae tuae
maxime indigent.

In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.
Amen

Living a lie

Human power
Will devour
Our senses
Bring us to forget
Human sources will not save
The power of faith
Heals us all

Hope is a desert running dry
Deep inside
You refuse to face the facts
But pray for life
Find salvations in distress
We will wait
For the day you’ll break out and
Re-awake
And we wait for the day
To discover there’s no way
I can′t wait at this rate
It’s too little and too late
To live this lie

Living a lie

@ Epica

Текст песни:

I can′t stand the way you′ve forsaken me
I see through the wicked games you′ve played with me
Do you feel the suspicion stirring up?
Can′t you see that they long to give you up?

Can′t you come lie with me?
Forget about your fallacy.
Seduce me with your fantasies
Of passion and obscurity

I see that you can′t get away with this
You can′t wave aside your lies with one more kiss
Do you feel the suspicion stirring up?
Can′t you see that they long to give you up?

Can′t you come lie with me?
Forget about your fallacy.
Seduce me with your fantasies
Of passion and obscurity

I foresee that you′ll be with me
Play with me as I do...
I do with you

I can′t stand the way you have forsaken me
I see through the reason of this fallacy

Can′t you come lie with me?
Forget about your fallacy.
Seduce me with your fantasies
Of passion and obscurity
Why can′t you come lie with me?
Forget about your fallacy.
Seduce me in your wildest dreams
Of passion and conspiracy

@ Epica

Текст песни:

Free my mind
Heal my scars
Erase the past
Dark days to forget
And memories to last
In my heart

Free me now

Make me forget
And forgive
There′s no use
To go on and live
Show me a way
To the sun

Heal my scars

Nothing will be forever gone
Memories will stay and find their way
What goes around will come around
Don’t deny your fears
So let them go and fade into light
Give up the fight here

Let my eyes take in
The beauty that′s here
That’s left on this earth
My ears long to hear
A melody

Give me sight

Nothing will be forever gone
Memories will stay and find their way
What goes around will come around
Don’t deny your fears
So let them go and fade into light
Give up the fight here

Poison is slowly seeping through my veins
Stealing the only dignity in me

I pick them up and let them fall
To cause your pain and hit them all
[grunts]

One more life to live is what I want

I’ll take the joy away from them
See to it, they will all be damned

One more chance to heal what I have harmed

The dragon is wreak havoc in my brain
Plays my emotion, a never ending game

Nothing will be forever gone
Memories will stay and find their way
What goes around will come around
Don’t deny your fears
So let them go and fade into light
Give up the fight here

One more life to live for me

I want the night just to colour the day
The morning to chase all my nightmares away
Don’t you deny that we′re all human beings
We all have our flaws that can make ourself obscene

Obscene…

Give me what I want
Give me what I need right now
That’s what I want
That’s what I need, get it!

Dolendo novit mortalis vitam

Tell me what I want
Tell me what I need right now
That’s what I want
That’s all I need, cure me

Dolendo discit mori mortalis
Losers

Nothing will be forever gone
Memories will stay and find their way
What goes around will come around
Don’t deny your fears
So let them go and fade into light
Give up the fight here

@ Epica

Текст песни:

Follow your common sense
You cannot hide yourself
behind a fairytale forever and ever
Only by revealing the whole truth can we disclose
The soul of this bulwark forever and ever
Forever and ever

Indoctrinated minds so very often
Contain sick thoughts
And commit most of the evil they preach against

Dont try to convince me with messages from God
You accuse us of sins committed by yourselves
Its easy to condemn without looking in the mirror
Behind the scenes opens reality

Eternal silence cries out for justice
Forgiveness is not for sale
Nor is the will to forget

Virginity has been stolen at very young ages
Morbid abuse of power in the garden of eden
Where the apple gets a youthful face

You cant go on hiding yourself
Behind old fashioned fairytales
And keep washing your hands in innocence
