Epica - Illusive Consensus lyrics

So sweet caress, never long to last!

You entered my soul and gave hope to my life.

So sweet caress, never hope to last!

You left me behind all alone and aghast

Capured inside such an austere Elysium

Imperfect feelings, futile greef

Love, a device against all solitude

As it all went on, the love became

A field in a dream that once had been real

So sweet caress, never long to last!

Destroy this illusion

We need a change of fate!

Your frantic thoughts

Are only a condemned cry

Primo somniare videbamur

deinde veritas se praecipitavit

I secretly longed for something

which had never existed

First I thought it was a dream

but then it smashed into reality

Beautiful on the outside, decayed deeply within

I secretly longed for something

which had never existed

Devoted to a body without a soul

Numquam non tibi diffidam
