façade of reality - the embrace that smothers - pa

Epica

Sanguis meus tibi non iam perbibendus sit

Macula aeterintatis
Numquam detergenda
Quisnam surget et deteget
Imaginem veritatis?

People created religious inventions
to give their lives a glimmer of hope
And to erase their fear of dying
and people created religious intentions
Only to feel superior and to have a license to kill

Our desire to die is stronger
than all your desire for life
There is no getting away from it now
Only true faith survives

People created religious inventions
to give their lives a glimmer of hope
And to ease their fear of dying
and people created religious ascensions
To subject the others and to enslave, just to further enrich
themselves

Our desire to die is stronger
than all your desire for life
There is no getting away from it now
Only true faith survives

Our desire to die is stronger
than all your desire for life
There is no getting away from it now
Only true faith survives

"This mass terrorism is the new evil in our world today"

It doesn't matter where we die
It doesn't matter that you cry
We'll take you with us

It doesn't matter where we die
It doesn't matter that you cry

"For those people who lost their lives on 11 September
And those that mourn them
Now is the time for the strength to build that community
Let that be their memorial"

A disgrace on the beyond

O servator, sempiterne
Te grati coluimus,
Odor atrox quo nos superfundis intolerabilis est

Deceive yourself by yielding
to soft words that cause no pain
Enrich yourself with different views
learned without disdain

A disgrace on the beyond
That can never be undone
Who shall rise and unveil
The Facade of Reality?

Deceive yourself by yielding
to soft words that cause no pain
Enrich yourself with different views
learned without disdain

Is there still room for new dents in old wrecks?
A disgrace on the beyond that can never be undone
Deceive yourself by yielding to soft words
Enrich yourself by making up your own mind

Sanguis meus tibi non iam perbibendus sit
