Living a Lie (The Embrace That Smothers, Part VIII) - Epica

Don't believe what you see

Believe in me and my reality

I am a man of God

(God, can't You give that I'm begging You?)

Don't believe what you hear

Believe in me and I will reappear

Salvation here at last

(At last someone to answer all my prayers)

Hope is a desert running dry

Deep inside

You refuse to face the facts

But pray for life

Find salvation in this phrase

We will wait for the day

You break out and re-awake

(Lies)

Don't believe what you see

Believe in me and my reality

Eternity in me

(This is the end all and be our last hope)

Hope is a desert running dry

Deep inside

You refuse to face the facts

But pray for life

Find salvation in this phrase

We will wait for the day

You began ending a way

(Lies)

Domine Jesu

Demitte nobis debita nostra

Salva nos ab igne inferiore

Perduc in caelum omnes animas

Praesertim eas, quae misericordiae tuae maxime indigent

In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti

Amen

Give me our lie

Human power will devour

Our senses bring us to forget

Children, sons and you have seen it

And our cross, it gives us hope

Hope is a desert running dry

Deep inside

You refuse to face the facts

But pray for life

Find salvation in this phrase

We will wait for the day

You began ending a way

And we wait for the day

To discover there is no way

I can't wait and this play

Is the bitter way to wait to end this lie
