Epica - Semblance Of Liberty lyrics
rate meBorn to fight, and we're born to flee<br />
Doomed to live on ecstasy<br />
Born to lie, and we're born to cheat<br />
Look in the mirror, who do you see?<br />
<br />
Born to flee, and we're born to fight<br />
Without your mask, you're terrified<br />
Don't hide your personality<br />
That's who you are, your identity<br />
<br />
If the virtues of tomorrow<br />
Cause the greed of today<br />
We won't have a future<br />
Nor liberty<br />
<br />
Born to breathe, and we're born to pursue<br />
That's all we are supposed to do<br />
The semblance of our liberty<br />
Is nothing more than slavery<br />
<br />
Born to flee, and we're born to fight<br />
Is it failure that's our delight?<br />
Born to cheat, and we're born to lie<br />
Look at yourself, have you lost your mind?<br />
<br />
If the virtues of tomorrow<br />
Cause the greed of today<br />
We won't have a future<br />
And no more liberty<br />
<br />
If the values of tomorrow<br />
Set the need on the way<br />
We won't have a future nor liberty<br />
<br />
Private vice leads to public virtue<br />
<br />
[Laughs! ]<br />
<br />
Raised to think that we are free<br />
Living in our caves<br />
Being slaves<br />
<br />
We lost control of our lives<br />
At the mercy of the waves<br />
Massive waves<br />
<br />
Blind to see what's going on<br />
Conditioned as we are<br />
And we are<br />
<br />
We lost control of our greed<br />
But now we face it all<br />
Face our fall<br />
<br />
Keeping all that we've created<br />
And consuming all that's possible<br />
Reaching deep into temptation<br />
Nothing can stop us<br />
<br />
Guarantee our hard-earned profits<br />
Multiplied ten-fold if possible<br />
Reaching out for new redemption<br />
Nothing avails our needs<br />
<br />
My opponent won't rule out raising taxes.<br />
But I will, and The Congress will push me to raise taxes and I'll say no.<br />
And they'll push, and I'll say no, and they'll push again, and I'll say to them:<br />
Read my lips<br />
[George H. W. Bush]<br />
<br />
If the values of tomorrow<br />
Set the need on the way<br />
We never had a future anyway<br />
We had no future 'till today<br />
<br />
Time and tide<br />
Will not wait for anyone
