Façade of Reality (“The Embrace that Smothers - Part V”) Epica

[Intro: Choir]
Sanguis meus tibi non iam perbibendus sit

Macula aeternitatis
Numquam detergenda
Quisnam surget et deteget
Imaginem veritates?

[Verse: Simone Simons]
People created religious inventions
To give their lives a glimmer of hope
And to ease their fear of dying
And people created religious intentions
Only to feel superior and to have a license to kill

[Chorus: Mark Jansen]
Our desire to die is stronger
Than all your desire for life
There is no getting away from it now
Only true faith survives

[Verse: Simone Simons]
People created religious inventions
To give their lives a glimmer of hope
And to ease their fear of dying
And people created religious ascensions
To subject the others and to enslave, just to further enrich themselves
