Epica
The Essence of Silence
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Something is wrong
My strength has gone
Thoughts are corrupting my mind
I can see, I perceive this ain’t me
Something so strong
My mood has swung
I can’t get it out of my head
I believe that my mind misleads me
[Pre-Chorus]
(We confuse)
Is it a doubt you try to hide?
(Tangle and abuse)
Just have an open look inside
(We appear)
It’s just a dreary memory stuck in your mind
(Memory stuck in your mind)
[Chorus 1]
Retrieve your balance
Use your senses to observe
(The essence of silеnce)
Search for your essеnce
Find the silence within you
(The essence is…)
[Post-Chorus]
You’re searching and bursting
[Verse 2]
There seems to be no cure
When tension endures
Delusions corrupting my mind
I can see, I perceive this ain’t me
There seems to be no way
When light fades to gray
To get them all out of my head
I believe that my mind misleads me
[Pre-Chorus]
(We confuse)
Is it a doubt you try to hide?
(Tangle and abuse)
Just have an open look inside
(We appear)
It’s just a dreary memory stuck in your mind
(Memory stuck in your mind)
[Chorus 1]
Retrieve your balance
Use your senses to observe
(The essence of silence)
Search for your essence
Find the silence within you
(The essence is…)
[Breakdown]
Make a start
Explore your heart
When a persistent memory
Penetrates deep in your mind
Allow the silence to destroy
Your thoughts in every kind
[Instrumental Break]
[Pre-Chorus]
(We confuse)
Is it a doubt you try to hide?
(Tangle and abuse)
Just have an open look inside
(We appear)
It’s just a dreary memory stuck in your mind
(Memory stuck in your mind)
[Chorus 2]
[Retrieve your balance
Use your senses to observe
(The essence of silence)
Allow the silence
To wipe your thoughts away
[Chorus 3]
Retrieve your balance
Use your senses to observe
(The essence of silence)
Search for your essence
Find the silence within you
(The essence lies...)
[Outro]
In silence!
