Epica
Mother Of Light (Live At Paradiso)
[Verse 1: Simone Simons]
It always put me on the edge
To think of all the spoiled lives
Today I'm one step further
Not sure if I've survived myself
[Chorus: Simone Simons & Mark Jansen]
Reality is sometimes stranger than fiction
Whatever happens in my dreams
I know it can't be worse than this
So I prefer to sleep
[Post-Chorus: Simone Simons]
I am searching
Without vision
For the answers in the dirt
I am waiting
Just for nothing
For the day that I'll be heard
[Verse 2: Simone Simons]
You're the sea in which I'm floating
And I lose myself in you
I am feeling these sensations
I communicate with you
[Refrain: Simone Simons]
I am looking
Without vision
For a diffеrent kind of way
I am thinking
Just for nothing
About that specific day
[Pre-Chorus: Simone Simons]
You're thе night so you're the dark side
Of the day you'll never see
You're the past but everlasting
Can you share one day with me?
You're the hand that I rejected
But I can't forgive myself
I am selfish and not worthy
To think of, even to die for
[Chorus: Simone Simons & Mark Jansen]
Reality is sometimes stranger than fiction
Whatever happens in my dreams
I know it can't be worse than this
So I prefer to sleep
[Verse 3: Simone Simons]
Tomorrow, don't know where I'll be
I need some place to go now
So do you know the way I feel
Or shall I give up my belief?
[Bridge 1: Simone Simons]
You're the lock I've never opened
'Cause I threw away the key
I'm enclosed within my own thoughts
That will never set me free
You're the hand that I rejected
But I can't forgive myself
I am selfish and not worthy
To think of, even to die for
You're the question to the answer
And without there'll never be
Any thought in this direction
You've created this in me
You're the hand that I rejected
But I can't forgive myself
I am selfish and not worthy
To think of, even to die for
[Bridge 2: Simone Simons]
Serenity is taking over all I am, it gives me peace
And all I see are visions of my destiny
Why should I bleed and pay for others' greed?
[Pre-Chorus: Simone Simons]
We consciously sign our own sentence of death
How can you go on, did you forget
What we have learned from the past?
We can't go on killing ourselves
And with us all the rest
Why can't you see, don't you regret?
[Chorus: Simone Simons & Mark Jansen]
Reality is sometimes stranger than fiction
Whatever happens in my dreams
I know it can't be worse than this
So I prefer to sleep
[Outro: Simone Simons]
I am alone with all my thoughts
Alone without a hope and
I lost the thing I needed most
I feel I can't survive this fall
