Στοίχοι: Epica. The Phantom Agony.

I can't see you, I can't hear you
Do you still exist?
I can't feel you, I can't touch you
Do you exist?
The Phantom Agony
I can't taste you, I can't think of you
Do we exist at all?
The future doesn't pass
And the past won't overtake the present
All that remains is an obsolete illusion
We are afraid af 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 person wandering in my dreams
We are afraid of all the things that could not be
A Phantom Agony
Tears of unprecedented beauty
Reveal the truth of existence
We're 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
What's the point of life
And what's the meaning if we all die in the end?
Does it make sense to learn or do we forget everything?
We are afraid of all the things that could not be
A Phantom Agony
Tears of unprecedented beauty
Reveal the truth of existence
We're all pessimists
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
Teach me how to see and free the disbelief in me
What we get is what we see
The Phantom Agony
A te spiritus noster devoratur
Et nostra anima capitur
The lucidity of mind has been revealed 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 dreams...
