Epica - Consign To Oblivion Lyrics
How can we let this happen andJust keep our eyes closed 'till the endThe only thing that counts is the prosperity of todayMost important to us is that our bills get paidOur good intentions have always been delayedHow can we let this happen andJust keep our eyes closed 'till the endWhen we will stand in front of heaven's gateIt will be too late!Try to unlearn all that you've learntTry to listen to your heartNo, we can't understand the universeBy just using our mindsWe are so afraid of all the things unknownA must we appease is the lust to get laidNothing really matters, just devouring our preyOur good intentions have always been delayed soOur generous acts have always come too lateHow can we let this happen andJust keep our eyes closed 'till the endWhen we will stand in front of heaven's gateIt will be too late!Try to unlearn all that you've learntTry to listen to your heartNo, we can't understand the universeBy just using our mindsWe are so afraid of all the things unknownWe just flee into a dream that never comes trueLow to the ground we feel safeLow to the ground we feel braveOblivisci tempta quod didicistiOpen your eyes, we're not in paradiseHow can't you see this stress is killing me?Fulfil your dreams; life is not what is seems to beWe have captured timeSo time made us all hostages without mercySeemingly generous fooling ourselvesSelfishly venomous time tellsToo much thinking goes at the cost of all our intuitionOur thoughts create realityBut we neglect to be!So we're already slaves of our artificial worldWe shouldn't try to control lifeBut listen to the laws of natureOpen your eyes, we're not in paradiseHow can't you see this stress is killing me?Fulfil your dreams; life is not what is seems to beWe have captured timeSo time made us all hostages without mercyLow to the ground we feel safeLow to the ground we feel braveWe all think we're generousBut we only fool ourselvesThe only thing that matters isOur way and our visionSelfishly we're venomousBut you know the time tells usThere is more to life than ourHigher positions, race for perfectionBetter, fasterWe must return to the laws of the natureFree ourselves from madness
