Epica - Consign to Oblivion lyrics

rate me

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 learned

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 need 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

Fulfill your dreams, life is not what it 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 on 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
