The Solace System - Epica

Razor lights

On the path of progress

To gain new insight

Lose control

Give in to your senses

To reach brand new heights

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's brought down to it's knees

I will not be the one to lose it all over again

We will take you the mire

We will show you shattered rhymes

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

Trying to see when all lights have gone

A silhouette without a face

Imprinting a vision that opens my eyes to creation

It's identity will reflect what I see

Control is the way to prevail

And lift up the shadows that keep me from reaching the bay

Shadows bring the night to life

Anguish harbors depth of fright

Far from the distant shores

Lies another paradise unlighted

Unlock the hidden heart inside

See the wonder of my world with true transparent eyes

All that is real

You alone welcome the other side

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

I make progress

I walk

The path of self mastery

Let go of all agony
