The Second Stone - Epica

O, ne moriar bis

Oro supplex

Sometimes I feel like my reason is weakening

My inner clock’s forcing time to stand still

I’m breaching borders between life and sanity

That’s when it all starts to shatter in front of me

(Why don’t you)

Liberate me

(Liberate me?)

Sometimes I feel I’m betraying my memory

This time it seems that I’m losing the fight

Finding it hard to be consciously part of life

That’s when awareness and dreams start to separate

(It's time to)

Reunite me

(Reunite me)

As time goes by I hide the truth

Cannot stand myself with a broken shell

As time goes by I try to choose

Don’t know where to roam in this private hell

Give me relief

Let me believe between sweet fiction and reality

My train of thoughts got lost somewhere along the way

I’m chasing shadows that cross on my path

Repeating visions that dance faster than my mind

Can’t stop the rain casting shadows on my parade

(I will not)

Can’t defeat me

(Bow to defeat)

As time goes by I hide the truth

Cannot stand myself with a broken shell

As time goes by I try to choose

Don’t know where to roam in this private hell

Give me relief

Let me believe between sweet fiction and reality

Ne moriar bis

Another life, another mind close to insanity

Another road, a cryptic code the second stone

All that is left is a cross that’s mine to bear

A curse with no ending drenched in anxiety

O, ne discedam bis

Oro supplex

As time goes by I hide the truth

Cannot stand myself with a broken shell

Give me relief

Let me believe between sweet fiction and reality

As time goes by I try to choose

Don’t know where to roam in this private hell

Give me relief

Let me believe between sweet fiction and reality

Ne moriar bis
