[00:06.12]Epica - Consign to Oblivion
[01:44.38]How can we let this happen and
[01:49.58]Just keep our eyes closed 'till the end
[01:53.13]
[01:53.48]The only thing that counts is the prosperity of today
[01:58.38]Most important to us is that our bills get paid
[02:03.12]
[02:03.87]Our good intentions have always been delayed
[02:13.58]
[02:16.21]How can we let this happen and
[02:21.14]Just keep our eyes closed 'till the end
[02:26.63]When we will stand in front of heaven's gate
[02:32.73]It will be too late!
[02:35.52]
[02:36.35]Try to unlearn all that you've learnt,
[02:41.43]try to listen to your heart
[02:46.82]No, we can't understand the universe
[02:52.14]by just using our mind
[02:56.97]We are so afraid of all the things unknown
[03:06.92]
[03:07.79]A must we appease is the lust to get laid
[03:12.75]Nothing really matters, just devouring our prey
[03:17.40]
[03:17.91]Our good intentions have always been delayed so
[03:29.04]Our generous acts have always come too late
[03:39.29]
[03:40.84]How can we let this happen and
[03:46.16]Just keep our eyes closed 'till the end
[03:51.54]When we will stand in front of heaven's gate
[03:57.92]It will be too late!
[04:00.54]
[04:01.21]Try to unlearn all that you've learnt,
[04:06.51]try to listen to your heart
[04:11.89]No, we can't understand the universe
[04:17.21]by just using our mind
[04:21.81]We are so afraid of all the things unknown
[04:32.47]We just flee into a dream that never comes true
[05:04.58]
[05:47.33]Low to the ground we feel safe
[05:58.54]Low to the ground we feel brave
[06:08.90]
[06:53.44]Oblivisci tempta quod didicisti
[07:04.28]
[07:32.35]Open your eyes; we're not in paradise
[07:37.51]How can't you see, this stress is killing me
[07:42.83]Fulfil your dreams; life is not what is seems
[07:47.86]We have captured time
[07:50.06]so time made us all hostages without mercy
[07:53.93]Seemingly generous fooling ourselves,
[07:55.82]Selfishly venomous time tells
[07:59.01]Too much thinking goes at the cost of all our intuition
[08:01.25]Our thoughts create reality
[08:03.00]But we neglect to be!
[08:04.31]So we're already slaves of our artificial world
[08:06.56]We shouldn't try to control life
[08:08.18]but listen to the laws of nature
[08:09.63]Open your eyes; we're not in paradise
[08:14.82]How can't you see, this stress is killing me
[08:20.10]Fulfil your dreams; life is not what is seems
[08:25.11]We have captured time
[08:27.39]so time made us all hostages without mercy
[08:32.77]
[08:52.66]Low to the ground we feel safe
[09:03.42]Low to the ground we feel brave
[09:14.70]We all think we're generous
[09:16.80]But we only fool ourselves
[09:19.44]The only thing that matters is
[09:21.86]Our way and our vision
[09:24.49]
[09:24.84]Selfishly we're venomous
[09:27.38]But you know the time tells us
[09:29.96]There is more to life than our
[09:32.54]Higher positions, race for perfection
[09:35.18]Better, faster
[09:36.52]We must return to the laws of the nature
[09:39.30]Free ourselves from madness
[09:43.91]
