consign to oblivion [live at paradiso] - epica lyrics

[intro: simone simons]
how can we let this happen and
just keep our eyes closed ‘till the end?

[verse 1: jan*chris de koeijer]
the only thing that counts is the prosperity of today
most important to us is that our bills get paid
our good intentions have always been delayed

[chorus: simone simons]
how can we let this happen and
just keep our eyes closed ‘till the end?
when we will stand in front of heaven’s gate
it will be too late!
[verse 2: simone simons]
try to unlearn all that you’ve learnt
try to listen to your heart
no, we can’t understand the universe
by just using our minds
we are so afraid of all the things unknown

[pre*chorus: jan*chris de koeijer]
a must we appease is the l*st to get laid
nothing really matters, just devouring our prey
our good intentions have always been delayed so
our generous acts have always come too late

[chorus: simone simons]
how can we let this happen and
just keep our eyes closed ‘till the end?
when we will stand in front of heaven’s gate
it will be too late!

[verse 3: simone simons]
try to unlearn all that you’ve learnt
try to listen to your heart
no, we can’t understand the universe
by just using our minds
we are so afraid of all the things unknown
we just flee into a dream that never comes true
low to the ground we feel safe
low to the ground we feel brave
[breakdown: jan*chris de koeijer]
oblivisci tempta quod didicisti

[bridge 1: jan*chris de koeijer]
open your eyes; we’re not in paradise
how can’t you see, this stress is k!lling me
fulfill your dreams; life is not what it seems
we have captured time
so time made us all hostages without mercy
seemingly generous fooling ourselves
selfishly venomous time tells
too much thinking goes at the cost of all our intuition
our thoughts create reality
but we neglect to be!
so we’re already slaves of our artificial world
we shouldn’t try to control life
but listen to the laws of nature
open your eyes; we’re not in paradise
how can’t you see, this stress is k!lling me
fulfill your dreams; life is not what it seems
we have captured time
so time made us all hostages without mercy
low to the ground we feel safe
low to the ground we feel brave

[outro: simone simons]
we all think we’re generous
but we only fool ourselves
the only thing that matters is
our way and our vision
selfishly we’re venomous
but you know the time tells us
there is more to life than our
higher positions, race for perfection
better, faster
we must return to the laws of the nature
free ourselves from madness!
