Epica - Force Of The Shore lyrics

Appearance is deceptive

So perfect in disguise

There's more than what you see

A semblance is protective

A blinder for the eyes

A place to hide and flee

Flee and you'll never see

What you're going to be

If you throw away the key

The truth from the past

you can't make it last

Flee and walk away

From what you are this day

If you are afraid to stay

Beyond the shore the sea is filled up

with sentiment and strength

Here lie the thoughts imprisoned

A field of forces and laments

How can we hide here

We need to change our ways

How can we tell lies here

We turn our eyes away

From the truth

From the past

You cannot

Make it last

If you do not cease to run away from truth

You will never see the shadow

of your dying youth

A façade is what we all possess

But on the inside it stays a mess

Superficial changes

won't recall the past

Don't deny the clock is ticking

and it's racing fast

Fading tokens of our latter days

Make us think we need to change our ways

Deep, the feelings hide

They're wasted from within

And my shell will never break

Appearance is deceptive

So perfect in disguise

A place to flee and hide and run away

Lift the shadow
