The phantom agony — текст песни (Epica)

[I. Impasse of Thoughts]



I cant see you, I cant hear you

Do you still exist?



I cant feel you, I cant touch you,

Do you exist?



The Phantom Agony



I cant taste you, I cant think of you,

Do we exist at all?



[II. Between hope and despair]



The future doesnt pass

And the past wont overtake the present

All that remains is an obsolete illusion



We are afraid of all the things that could not be

A phantom agony



Do we dream at night

Or do we share the same old fantasy?

I am a silhouette of the persen wandering in my dreams



Tears of unprecedented beauty

Reveal the truth of existence

Were all sadists



The age-old development of consciousness

Drives us away from the essence of life

We meditate too much,

so that our instincts will fade away

They fade away



Whats the point of life

And whats the meaning if we all die in the end?

Does it make sense to learn or do we forget everything?



Tears of unprecedented beauty

Reveal the truth of existence

Were all pessimists



Teach me how to see and free the disbelief in me

What we get is what we see, the Phantom Agony



[III. Nevermore]



The lucidity of my mind has been revealde in new dreams

I am able to travel where my heart goes

In search of self-realisation



This is the way to escape from our agitation

And develop ourselves

Use your illusion and enter my dream...
