Epica - Semblance Of Liberty lyrics

Your rating:

Born to fight and we're born to flee
Doomed to live on ecstasy
Born to lie and we're born to cheat
Look in the mirror, who do you see?

Born to flee and we're born to fight
Without your mask you're terrified
Don't hide your personality
That's who you are, your identity

If the virtues of tomorrow
'Cause the greed of today
We won't have a future
Nor liberty

Born to breathe and we're born to pursue
That's all we are supposed to do
The semblance of our liberty
Is nothing more than slavery

Born to flee and we're born to fight
Is it failure, that's our delight
Born to cheat and we're born to lie
Look at yourself, have you lost your mind?

If the virtues of tomorrow
'Cause the greed of today
We won't have a future
And no more liberty

If the virtues of tomorrow
Set the need on the way
We won't have a future nor liberty

Private vice leads to public virtue

Raised to think that we are free
Living in our caves
Being slaves
We lost control of our lives
At the mercy of the waves
Massive waves

Blind to see what's going on
Conditioned as we are
And we are
We lost control of our greed
But now we face it all
Face our fall

Keeping all that we've created
And consuming all that's possible
Reaching deep into temptation
Nothing can stop us

Guarantee our hard-earned profits
Multiplied ten-fold if possible
Reaching out for new redemption
Nothing avails our needs

"My opponent won't rule out raising taxes.
But I will, and The Congress will push me to raise taxes and I'll say no.
And they'll push and I'll say 'no' and they'll push again and I'll say to them:
Read my lips." (George H. W. Bush)

If the virtues of tomorrow
Curse the greed of today
We won't have a future
And no more liberty.

If the fails of tomorrow
Set the need on the way
We never had a future anyway
We had no future 'til today

Time and tide
Will not wait for anyone
