Epica - Illusive Consensus

So sweet caress, never long to last!

You entered my soul and gave hope to my life



So sweet caress, never long to last!

You left me behind all alone and aghast

Captured inside such an Elysium



Imperfect feelings, futile grief

Love a devise against all solitude

As it all went on, the love became

A field in a dream that once had been real



So sweet so caress, never long to last!

Destroy this illusion we need a change of fate!

Your frantic thoughts are only a condemned cry



Imperfect feelings, futile grief

Love a devise against all solitude

As it all went on, the love became

A field in a dream that once had been real



Primo somniare videbamur

Deinde veritas se praecipitavit



I secretly longed for something

Which had never existed



First I thought it was a dream

But then it smashed into reality

Beautiful on the outside, decayed deeply within



I secretly longed for something

Which had never existed



Devoted to a body without a soul



Numquam non tibi diffidam
