Epica
Cry for the Moon (”The Embrace that Smothers - Part IV”)
[Instrumental Intro]
[Chorus: Simone Simons & Choir]
Follow your common sense!
You cannot hide yourself
Behind a fairytale forever and ever
Only by revealing the whole truth can we disclose
The soul of this sick bulwark forever and ever
Forever and ever!
[Simone Simons]
Indoctrinated minds so very often contain sick thoughts
And commit most of the evil they preach against
[Instrumental Break]
[Mark Jansen]
Don't try to convince me with messages from God
You accuse us of sins committed by yourselves
It's easy to condemn without looking in the mirror
Behind the scenes opens reality!
[Simone Simons]
Eternal silence cries out for justice
Forgiveness is not for sale nor is the will to forget
[Choir: Simone Simons & Choir]
Follow your common sense!
You cannot hide yourself
Behind a fairytale forever and ever
Only by revealing the whole truth can we disclose
The soul of this sick bulwark forever and ever
[Mark Jansen]
Virginity has been stolen at very young ages
And the extinguisher loses it's immunity
Morbid abuse of power in the garden of Eden
Where the apple gets a youthful face
[Simone Simons]
Eternal silence cries out for justice
Forgiveness is not for sale nor is the will to forget
[Simone Simons & Choir]
Follow your common sense!
You cannot hide yourself
Behind a fairytale forever and ever
Only by revealing the whole truth can we disclose
The soul of this sick bulwark forever and ever
Forever and ever!
[Instrumental Break]
[Simone Simons]
Eternal silence cries out for justice
Forgiveness is not for sale nor is the will to forget
[Outro: Simone Simons]
You can't go on hiding yourself behind
Old fashioned fairytales and keep washing your hands in innocence
