The Obssesive Devotion

Lyrics:

Don't you ever blind me
Don't be a foolish thief
-Am I?
Don't you ever bring yourself to grief

Don't you ever blind me
Don't ever trick my mind
-Did I?
Don't you think that you can lie to me
-Did I lie?

Fortuna exprimitur artibus falsis
Et mendacem memorem esse oportet

If he is your moon, I will be your earth
To which you can return, safely or injured.

I feel only misery for myself when I
Look through the eyes of someone else

Don't you choke and bind me
Don't be a bleeding heart
-Am I?
Fold then walk away or play your cards
-Let us play!

Fortuna exprimitur artibus falsis
Et mendacem memorem esse oportet

If he is your moon, I will be your earth
To which you can return, safely or injured.

I feel only misery for myself when I
Look through the eyes of someone else
I can't even recognize the path which has to be
Taken to enter infinity.

-Don't you dare me
I dare you
-You don't care about me
I care about you
-Don't you touch me
-Liar

Fortuna exprimitur artibus falsis
Et mendacem memorem esse oportet

Adoratio permanebit
Quotiens me eges, adero

I prefer to be unhappy with you,
rather than being depressed without you.
I belong to someone, I'm dedicated to
Nothing lasts forever but you, you do...

I prefer to be a lair just like you
To fulfill my deepest desires
I belong to someone, I'm dedicated to
But all that I desire is you

One thoughtless moment passes in slow motion
As I lie down, I realise that...
All I wish is to get rid of this Obsessive Devotion

Venia ad vitam aeternam
Non mibi, non tibi, sed nobis

Hit me as you can
Beat me as you wish
Liar

Fortuna mutua coniuncti
Per tota saecula futura

I have raised myself for you
But now I regret

Venia ad vitam aeternam

This is the end

-------------------
In my opinion this is the best album opener for me and goes perfectly with Indigo .The drumming simply kicks-ass and shows how the band became heavier after rweleasing TDC.Personally,it's one of my favorites.You have to love everything about it:The orchestra,Mark's grunts,Simone''s voice,the choir,the heavier guitar sound,EVERYTHING.This shws how obssesed am I with Epica

This is definately one of my alltime fav Epica songs, and lately I'm really addicted to it! Like I have an obsessive devotion to it! This song has such power! Both musically and lyrically to me.

I can speak the speaking part such a great song!!!!

Music is my Obsessive Devotion

I think this is probably their best album opener, especially combined with the Indigo intro. It was one of the first I heard off TDC, and is one of my favorites (even though I've noticed I don't listen to it as much as the others )

i'm...obsessed with this song xD xD

It's probably my fav Epica song. (not counting DYU haha...i have to listen to it a lot more,so maybe i change my mind xD)
It absolutely fascinates me.Like it's showing the beast haunting the beauty.It's the best song i ever heard about the dark side of love.
And the melody goes just perfectly with the lyrics.
Simone sounds amazing,Mark also.The guitars and the drums are perfect.

I love it, it was such experience live.

And your cover is also nice Eetu

After some deep thinking i understood this is my all time favourite song. It means so much to me and i think i've listened it over 1000 times but i never get tired of it.
This song was such a huge part changing my whole life...

I love it <3

^ I know what you mean. This song means sooo much to me too! And it probably has become my all time second fav, after CtO.
