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
