Текст песни:

How can we let this happen and
Just keep our eyes closed ′till the end

The only thing that counts is the prosperity of today
Most important to us is that our bills get paid

Our good intentions have always been delayed

How can we let this happen and
Just keep our eyes closed ′till the end
When we will stand in front of heaven′s gate
It will be too late!

Try to unlearn all that you′ve learnt,
try to listen to your heart
No, we can′t understand the universe
by just using our mind
We are so afraid of all the things unknown

A must we appease is the lust to get laid
Nothing really matters, just devouring our prey

Our good intentions have always been delayed so
Our generous acts have always come too late

We are so afraid of all the things unknown
We just flee into a dream that never comes true

Low to the ground we feel safe
Low to the ground we feel brave

Oblivisci tempta quod didicisti

Open your eyes; we′re not in paradise
How can′t you see, this stress is killing me
Fulfil your dreams; life is not what is seems
We have captured time
so time made us all hostages without mercy

Seemingly generous fooling ourselves,

Selfishly venomous time tells

Too much thinking goes at the cost of all our intuition
Our thoughts create reality
But we neglect to be!
So we′re already slaves of our artificial world
We shouldn′t try to control life
but listen to the laws of nature

We all think we′re generous
But we only fool ourselves
The only thing that matters is
Our way and our vision

Selfishly we′re venomous
But you know the time tells us
There is more to life than our
Higher positions, race for perfection
Better, faster
We must return to the laws of the nature
Free ourselves from madness

Текст песни:

Speaking interpretation
A conversation can take a sudden turn
And reaching the point of violence
Because your silence left you without a hand to hold

Your past will lead you on to make...

Making a final judgement
Based on your bias will never bring you forward
Terror should never guide you
For even the fearful can take a beating in the end

Suspicion gets you nowhere

Those who denounce a way of life
Will stand alone
Left to atone their social blunders
If you gun down the messenger
You guarantee that he will be made
Into a saint
A martyr of the free word

I will say
I will say what I think
I will do
I will do what I say
When liberty seems out of reach
We′ll fight for our freedom of speech

Requiem aeternam dona eis,
Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis

Missing a simple context
A mental weakness can throw you out of balance
Listen, respect each other
Then you′ll discover
It wasn′t [...]
It′s not too late for mercy

Those who denounce a way of life
Will stand alone
Left to atone their social blunders
If you gun down the messenger
You guarantee that he will be made
Into a saint
A martyr of the free word

I will say
I will say what I think
I will do
I will do what I say
When liberty seems out of reach
We′ll fight for our freedom of speech

Текст песни:

[I. Impasse of Thoughts]

I can’t see you, I can’t hear you
Do you still exist?

I can’t feel you, I can’t touch you,
Do you exist?

The Phantom Agony

I can’t taste you, I can’t think of you,
Do we exist at all?

[II. Between hope and despair]

The future doesn’t pass
And the past won’t overtake the present
All that remains is an obsolete illusion

We are afraid of all the things that could not be
A phantom agony

Do we dream at night
Or do we share the same old fantasy?
I am a silhouette of the persen wandering in my dreams

Tears of unprecedented beauty
Reveal the truth of existence
We’re all sadists

The age-old development of consciousness
Drives us away from the essence of life
We meditate too much,
so that our instincts will fade away
They fade away

What’s the point of life
And what’s the meaning if we all die in the end?
Does it make sense to learn or do we forget everything?

Tears of unprecedented beauty
Reveal the truth of existence
We’re all pessimists

Teach me how to see and free the disbelief in me
What we get is what we see, the Phantom Agony

[III. Nevermore]

The lucidity of my mind has been revealde in new dreams
I am able to travel where my heart goes
In search of self-realisation

This is the way to escape from our agitation
And develop ourselves
Use your illusion and enter my dream...

Текст песни:

(Death cover)
Built from blind faith
Passed down from self-induced fantasy
Turn a page to justify
Conjuring power - it opens wide
On seventh day,
Is that how it′s done?
Twisting your eyes to perceive
all that you want
To assume from ignorance
Inflicting wounds with your
cross-turned dagger

Inside crystal mountain
Evil takes its form
Inside crystal mountain
Commandments are reborn

All the traps are set to confine
All who get in the way of the divine
In sight and in mind of the hypocrite

Shatter the myth
Don′t cut yourself
On your words against dreams made of steel
Stronger any faith
That inflicts pain and fear,
is that how it′s done?
Twisting your eyes to perceive
All that you want
To assume from ignorance
Inflicting wounds with your cross-turned dagger

Inside crystal mountain
Evil takes its form
Inside crystal mountain
Commandments are reborn

Текст песни:

Midnight, not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory?
She is smiling alone
In the lamplight
The withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan

Memory, all alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the old days
Life was beautiful then
I remember
The time I knew what happiness is
Let the memory live again

Every street lamp
Seems to beat
A fatalistic warning
Someone mutters
And a street lamp gutters
And soon it will be morning

I must think of a new life
And I mustn′t give in
When the dawn comes
Tonight will be a memory too
And a new day will begin

Burnt out ends of smokey days
The stale cold smell of morning
The street lamp dies
Another night is over
Another day is dawning

Touch me, it′s so easy to leave me
All alone with my memory
Of my days in the sun
If you touch me
You′ll understand what happiness is
Look a new day has begun...

@ Epica

Текст песни:

You were always there to hold my hand
When times were hard to understand
But now the tides of time have turned
They keep changing

Seasons range, but you remain the same
A steady heart, a sun to reign
You′ll be the light that′s shining bright
High above me

Autumn cold, losing heart

We′re leaves meant to fall
There′s a meaning to all
That fades

Freezing winds were stained by warming words
That touch your healing to the heart
That treasure every lesson learned
′til they immerse

Fight her face
Wash his pain

We will answer the call
There′s a meaning to all

Sing forth Malachi
To sow along earth dreams
Filling needs that can be as perfect alone

Frail is our beauty in the end
But all we count is sentiment
A memory stays to guide the way and whisper
Don′t lose sight, don′t deny

We′re leaves meant to fall
There′s a meaning to all

Sing forth Malachi
To sow along earth dreams
Filling needs that can be as perfect alone
A symphony resulting in our minds
Guides us through what we knew
Uncovered in life

Sometimes I feel like I don′t have the words
Sometimes I feel like I′m not being her
And then I fear I′m feeling nothing more

Sometimes I feel I don′t want to change
And think we all have to rearrange
And now I feel there′s no more losing me

Sing forth Malachi
To sow along earth dreams
Filling needs that can be as perfect alone
A symphony resulting in our minds
Guides through – Cause you hear me
As you do – As you lead me
Making sure once we all uncover it all

@ 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

Don’t try to convince me with messages from God
You accuse us of sins committed by yourselves
It’s 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
And the extinguisher loses it’s immunity
Morbid abuse of power in the garden of eden
Where the apple gets a youthful face

You can’t go on hiding yourself
Behind old fashioned fairytales
And keep washing your hands in innocence


@ Epica

Текст песни:

Comprehensive expressions of your social weakness
Vented on your countless made up enemies

I cannot know how you feel
When you don’t say anything

We don′t care what you say
We′ll never join the games you play
We won′t bleed for all your sins
We never followed your way now so
We don′t care anymore
How you’ll perform your last encore

Your misplaced sense of superiority
The result of your unbearable form of Vanity

I cannot know what you see
When you don′t show anything;

We don′t care what you say
We′ll never join the games you play
We won′t bleed for all your sins
We never followed your way now so
We don′t care anymore
How you’ll perform your last encore

I cannot know how you feel
When you don’t say anything
I cannot know what you see
When you don′t show anything

We don′t care what you say
We′ll never join the games you play
We won′t bleed for all your sins
We never followed your way now so
We don′t care anymore
How you’ll perform your last encore


@ Epica

Текст песни:

Memory, fading out
Its presence still lingers in my mind
Listen to your inner voice
There′s no escape, there′s no other choice

A foolish fate that came about
Death could not leave without
Don′t try to scour your inane soul
It would be labour lost

Deep inside hides a lie
Where can we try to seek
A way so this will die

Innocence died when they took his mind
And they tried to leave him behind
Not even a cascade of tears will save you
And keep you away from harm

Concinnity of destiny
Is not what you wished it to be

Blinded by love
Between lust and hate
You scarred your fate
There′s no time to waste

Ride for your own ruin
Odium became your opium

Please don′t let me bleed for all eternity

Please leave me be in my own mise

@ Epica

Текст песни:

When Darkness will reign and blind us all
Allegiance will blind us if we do not fall

We cannot tell when morning comes
Is there a choice to live another day?
It′s hard to find a new direction in your fragile life

The precious time of your existence is now to come
Don′t throw your life away by cheating time
Sugared Placebos only fool your mind

Now I want the water to wash away all my sins
The wind to blow away my thoughts without meaning
The fire to burn away my thickened skin

Novas portas pandimus

What is the space, the type of dance?
I cannot tell which steps I have to take
I′d like to leave, just run away
My feet are tangled up

So hard to face the pace of the clock
What do you think; will it ever stop?
So, will I fall and not get up?
I take it all in stride

Everything has a reason for its happening
Can′t you tell it′s your own spell and
Everyone has to dance his dance like anyone
Can′t break free of destiny

We should open new doors
And close the ones that we′ve left behind

Novas portas pandimus, et post nos occludimus
Novas portas pandimus et post nos occludimus

@ Epica

Текст песни:

Can′t you hear me screaming, once again?
Voices you can′t hear
Because you are consumed and incontent
With everlasting greed

Don′t you see me on my hands and knees?
Begging and bleeding
You′re smiling as you bite the hand that feeds
But will you never see?

Always wanting what your eyes can′t see
needing what your arms can’t reach
Thinking you are in need
Always hearing what your ears can′t hear
feeling what your hands can′t touch
Thinking you’re incomplete

(Enough)
It was,
Never enough that I gave to you
All of the horror that you′ve put me through
(Never enough)
How can I make up my mind this time?
This is where I will draw the line

Sacrificed my life to be with you
Why did you leave me?
There′s nothing more from me you can consume
Cause you are incomplete

Always wanting what your eyes can′t see
needing what your arms can’t reach
Thinking you are in need
Always hearing what your ears can′t hear
feeling what your hands can′t touch
Thinking you’re incomplete

(Enough)
It was,
Never enough that I gave to you
All of the horror that you′ve put me through
(Never enough)
How can I make up my mind this time?
This is where I will draw the line

Everlasting need
Would you please?
Answer me and
Make me complete

Everlasting greed
Would you please?
Set me free
Fulfill all my needs and make complete

(Enough)
It was,
Never enough that I gave to you
All of the horror that you′ve put me through
(Never enough)
How can I make up my mind this time?
This is where I will draw the line

Never again will I be with you
No promise eternal carrying us through
I finally made up my mind this time
This is the end, I′ve drawn the line
Never enough to devour your greed

@ Epica

Текст песни:

Keep hiding
All colors fading
Desiring
They′re coming for me

Back in the day I can recall that,
My thoughts were unclouded and saint
There was no black state in the walls of my memory
Now there′s a haze pushing me side a ways,

And leaving me nothing to gain
Taking me back, lurking me cold in disparity

There was I meant to be
I feel I′m lost in a dream
Long for the day I can be myself

When I′m free
When my sun has set
Release my soul forever
I have no regret to be free
I′ll exists again
No more lost endeavor
Nothing to contain
When I′m free

Call and decline so it defines me
It′s falling away far behind
Nothing to keep me with the time
The human eye

Where am I meant to be?
I feel I′m lost in a dream
Again and again only to be myself

Time is a concept and always the first thing to fade
Hiding in a weakness something we can never retain
Years of crawl –– decay and despair
Are we a wrong perception something we can never regainepair

No one to blame, facing me random
Nothing will ever explain, so it reclines

Where was I meant to be
I feel I′m lost in a dream
Long for the day I can be myself

When will I be unleashed
It′s not the way it should be
Again and again only to be myself

@ Epica

Текст песни:

I followed your rules
A willing fool
Branded by shame

My soul suffers from your hostile ways
I bear so many scars, hit me hard
Time to change we have to rearrange
For this has gone too far, way too far

Creating new laws and living by unwritten rules
Restricting us

My soul suffers from your hostile ways
I can’t let go

Creating new spins on ancient creed to fit your views
Denying us

You created this world
Where honesty is not allowed
You created this world
Where ignorance is being taught

You created this world
Where I am all, you′ll never be
You’ve been drilling these
Such falsely-based philosophies
…in me

The curtain has fallen
There′s no one behind
Corrected one mistake
But I am still around

Our fight is over
My scars will leave a stain
You thought that it was all easy
But I will still remain

You created yourself
Based on nothing else but lies
You created yourself
Where all your aspiration died

You created yourself
Where I am all, you′ll never be
You’re deceiving me
Now I am forcing you to see
… this

The curtain has fallen
There′s no one behind
Corrected one mistake
But I am still around

Our fight is over
My scars will leave a stain
You thought that it was all easy
But I will still remain

Take my hand, I′m sinking, I′m reaching out for you

Can′t you see what you′ve done to all of us?
Torturing me has no use here anymore

I followed your rules
A willing fool
Branded by shame

My soul suffers from your hostile ways
I bear so many scars, hit me hard
Time to change we have to rearrange
For this has gone too far, way too far

Creating new laws and living by unwritten rules
Restricting us

My soul suffers from your hostile ways
I can’t let go

Creating new spins on ancient creed to fit your views
Denying us

The curtain has fallen
There′s no one behind
Corrected one mistake
But I am still around

Our fight is over
My scars will leave a stain
You thought that it was all easy
But I will still remain

Your time is over
I′m taking what’s mine
You thought that you could keep me
Under your thumb and mind

Take my hand, I′m sinking, I′m reaching out for you
In my dying dream

@ Epica

Текст песни:

So many days we′ve spent together
Trying to get ahead with our dreams
Now we have come to the goal forgotten
Hurting within left us torn

The road is open
We find out way through ties where broken
So the means to the end
Was the peace that was meant
To be ours since it all began

We fight to win

I won′t give up, we′ll fight to win
To move along from where we′d been
I′ll sing this song for you again
I′m looking up around the bend
We′re so much stronger than before
Our fraying edges on the mend

Life as we know would be so different
Had our paths continued the same
Seizing the day with all that′s offered
The good and the bad,
The clear and the haze

To move along from where we′d been
I′ll sing this song for you again
I′m looking up around the bend
We′re so much stronger than before
Our fraying edges on the mend

Don′t let go

So hard to face what we′ve done wrong
We shared a life that can′t be
We cannot hide from destiny
So hard to face what had gone wrong
We′ve got to make this work
And give it our all

Give our all and won′t let go
Waiting so long for an answer
We′ve been waiting oh, so very long and
Now we′re ready to accept our fate

Our melodies will be remembered
forever and ever
Our memories will fade away
when the leaves have reached the soil

I won′t give up this fight
The sacrifices made
We gave our all
And won′t let it go to die in vain

I′ll sing this song again
We′re stronger than before
We have the chance of lifetime
We′ll never close this door

@ Epica

Текст песни:

I see a silhouette, liquid that moves
Skin like a pearl in the sea
I cannot resist this, her voice in the wind
But is it my eyes are deceived?
Is it you I see?

Lie down in my arms
Trust what you see
Smooth your brow, you will be with me
To find your relief

Gazing at whitecaps, coming so close
Everything′s suddenly clear
Numb with the aching, and still I am waiting
The water is pulling me near
Would you welcome me?

Lie down in my arms
Try not to breathe
Quiet love, you are now with me
You need no words to speak

For my mistakes, I am to blame
Never believed that it was all meant to fall
I′d give my life, to have you near once again
Take me away, would you forgive me?

@ Epica

Текст песни:

If we could see ourselves, the mirror would reflect insanity
Instead we camouflage the flaws that lie within
Condone the suffering we witness as we mingle casually
We need to right ourselves, or else we will derail

Aiming too high
You are bound to fail
Patience is a vital virtue
That you′ll never have

Don′t force me to believe
We′re caught up in the greed
′cause I just care for me
To break it, we′ll need everyone
Think it through: unite is the only way

A raging tragedy ignored will have its justice, finally
Distress and poverty is everyone′s disease
We′ll come to realise for all we′ve done
there is a price to pay
Yet hope is never lost, there always is a way

Trumping the game
Is no easy way
Enterprise and discipline
Will pay off in the end

If we ever could look into fate′s mirror
We would never have ended up here
We′re distracted by every sin committed
It should always be ever so clear

If we ever look
We would never be here

Don′t force me to believe
I′m never needing anyone
I only care for me
I′m thinking through
And mine′s the only way

We are caught up
In our failure
Now our union
Is our savior
It′s the only way

If we ever
We would never
If we′re clever
We′re together
