"Facade Of Reality "The Embrace That Smothers - Part V"" lyrics - EPICA

[Intro: Choir]
Sanguis meus tibi non iam perbibendus sit

Macula aeternitatis
Numquam detergenda
Quisnam surget et deteget
Imaginem veritates?

[Verse: Simone Simons]
People created religious inventions
To give their lives a glimmer of hope
And to ease their fear of dying
And people created religious intentions
Only to feel superior and to have a license to kill

[Chorus: Mark Jansen]
Our desire to die is stronger
Than all your desire for life
There is no getting away from it now
Only true faith survives

[Verse: Simone Simons]
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

[Chorus: Mark Jansen]
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

[Spoken Words: Tony Blair]
This mass terrorism is the new evil in our world today

[Spoken Words: Mark Jansen]
It doesn't matter where we die
It doesn't matter that you cry
We will take you with us

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

[Spoken Words: Tony Blair]
Those people who lost their lives on the 11th of September
And those that mourn them
Now is the time for the strength to build that community
Let that be their memorial

[Bridge 2: Choir]
A disgrace on the beyond

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

[Refrain: Simone Simons]
Deceive yourself by yielding
To soft words that 'cause no pain
Enrich yourself with different views
Learned without disdain

[Bridge 1: Choir]
A disgrace on the beyond
That can never be undone
Who shall rise and unveil
The Facade of Reality?

[Refrain: Simone Simons]
Deceive yourself by yielding
To soft words that 'cause no pain
Enrich yourself with different views
Learned without disdain

[Bridge: Mark Jansen]
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

[Outro: Choir]
Sanguis meus tibi non iam perbibendus sit
Sanguis meus tibi non iam perbibendus sit
