Epica
Omen (The Ghoulish Malady)
[Instrumental Intro]

[Refrain]
This omen
Deceive us
Misfortune unites us all

[Verse 1: Simone Simons]
When it seems like the world is shattering
Remember that you set your course
When it feels like no one is answering
Revert to your deep inner force

[Pre-Chorus 1: Simone Simons]
As the bell begins to chime

[Chorus 1: Simone Simons]
Together we'll be strong
To defy all that can't bring us down
United standing strong
You will not fight alone

[Refrain]
This omen
Deceive us
Misfortune unites us all
[Verse 2: Simone Simons]
When it seems like you're always giving in
Make sure that you take back control
When you can't stand the world we're living in
Remember that you're not alone

[Pre-Chorus 2: Simone Simons]
As your words are carved in stone

[Chorus 2: Simone Simons]
Together we'll be strong
To defy all that can't bring us down
United standing strong
You will not fight alone
Don't drown in a sea full of sorrow and pain
United standing strong, here is where you belong

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Bridge: Mark Jansen]
Your angels will whisper
Nothing is what it seems to be
Search with your heart and you'll find the key
You'll see

[Chorus 2: Simone Simons]
Together we'll be strong
To defy all that can't bring us down
United standing strong
You will not fight alone
Don't drown in a sea full of sorrow and pain
United standing strong, here is where you belong
[Refrain]
This omen
Deceive us
Misfortune unites us all

[Outro]
Disaster
(Nothing can bring us down)
Can't beat us
(Together we stand strong)
Misfortune
(You will not fight alone)
Can't bring us down
(As one we'll overcome)
It unites us all in life
(All misery we face in life)
