Epica
The Solace System
[Intro]
Razor lights
On the path of progress
To gain new insight
Lose control
Give in to your senses
To reach brand new heights

[Verse 1: Simone Simons]
When a grandeur of scenes arrives with the night
Revealing the author of fear
The reason why all of my virtues are shut down and hollow
If the light that sinks in is changing all shapes
And magic brought down to its knees
I will not be the one to lose it all over again

[Mark Jansen]
We will take you to the mire
We will show you shattered rhymes

[Chorus: Simone Simons]
Far from the distant shores
Lies another paradise unlighted
Unlock the hidden heart inside
See the wonder of my world with true transparent eyes
Razor lights
On the path of progress
To gain new insight

[Verse 2: Simone Simons]
If you're trying to see when all lights have gone
A silhouette without a face
Imprinting a vision that opens my eyes to creation
Its identity will reflect what I see
Control is the way to prevail
And lift up the shadows that keep me from reaching the bay

[Mark Jansen]
Shadows bring the night to life
Anguish harbors depth of fright

[Chorus: Simone Simons]
Far from the distant shores
Lies another paradise unlighted
Unlock the hidden heart inside
See the wonder of my world with true transparent eyes

[Guitar Solo]

[Breakdown: Simone Simons]
All that is real
You alone welcome the other side
[Chorus: Simone Simons]
Far from the distant shores
Lies another paradise unlighted
Unlock the hidden heart inside
See the wonder of my world with true transparence
Deep within the forlorn stream
Lies the wonder of my world in a true transparent dream

[Outro]
I make progress
I walk
The path of self-mastery
Let go of all agony
