Epica – Blank Infinity
Trying to keep myself afloat upon this stream
But a thought is pulling me down
Pulling me all the way down
We are wandering towards a blank infinity
And extinguishing will now be the only way
to diminish your sins
This vortex can’t be filled up again
A hole in space and time
Do you cry to the heaven’s high
when you’re confined in here?
Do you not ever wonder
why these leaden tears will never dry?
They’ll leave behind so many shadows in my mind
High in the sky, all of the clouds are passing by
Wait for this storm, wait for the rain,
and wait for the tears to fall down on me
Do you cry to the heaven’s high
when you’re confined in here?
Do you not ever wonder
why these leaden tears will never dry?
They’ll leave behind so many shadows
Living in me, living in all the memories in my life
Do you wonder why
These tears never dry
Time forced into life
Living in my mind
Can we ever find a way in t his labyrinth without end?
Labyrinth has no end
Which turn should I take?
Left or right?
Should I stay?
Should I be the one?
Lost inside blank infinity
06 – Force of the Shore
Appearance is deceptive
So perfect in disguise
There’s more than what you see
A semblance is protective
A blinder for the eyes
A place to hide and flee
Flee and you’ll never see
What you’re going to be
If you throw away the key
The truth from the past you can’t make it last
Flee and walk away
From what you are this day
If you are afraid to stay
Beyond the shore the sea is filled up
with sentiment and strength
Here lie the thoughts imprisoned
A field of forces and laments
How can we hide here
We need to change our ways
How can we tell lies here
We turn our eyes away
From the truth
From the past
You cannot
Make it last
If you do not cease to run away from truth
You will never see the shadow
of your dying youth
A façade is what we all possess
But on the inside it stays a mess
Superficial changes won’t recall the past
Don’t deny the clock is ticking
and it’s racing fast
Fading tokens of our latter days
Make us think we need to change our ways
Deep, the feelings hide
They’re wasted from within
And my shell will never break
Appearance is deceptive
So perfect in disguise
A place to flee and hide and run away
Lift the shadow
