Epica - The Phantom Agony lyrics

[I. Impa**e of Thoughts] I can't see you, I can't hear you Do you still exist? I cn'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? [II.

I am a silhouette of the persen wandering in my dreams Tears of unprecedented beauty Reveal the truth of existence We're all sadists The age-old development of conciousness 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 learsn or do we forget everything? Tears of unprecedented beauty Reveal the truth of existence We're 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...
