Façade of Reality(The Embrace That Smothers-Part V)

Lyrics:(Are there any mistakes?)

Sanguis meus tibi non iam perbibendus sit

Macula aeternitatis
Numquam detergenda
Quisnam surget et deteget
Imaginem veritates ?

People created religious inventions
To give their lives a glimmer of hope
And to ease their fear of dying
And people created religious intentions
Only to feel superior and to have a license to kill

Our desire to die is stronger
Than all your desire for life
There is no getting away from it now
Only true faith survives

People created religious inventions
To give their lives a glimmer of hope
And to ease their fear of dying
And people created religious ascensions
To subject the others and to enslave, just to further enrich themselves

Our desire to die is stronger
Than all your desire for life
There is no getting away from it now
Only true faith survives

Our desire to die is stronger
Than all your desire for life
There is no getting away from it now
Only true faith survives

It doesn't matter where we die
It doesn't matter that you cry
We'll take you with us

It doesn't matter where we die
It doesn't matter that you cry

A disgrace on the beyond

O servator, sempiterne
Te grati coluimus,
Odor atrox quo nons superfundis intolerabilis est

Deceive yourself by yielding
to soft words that cause no pain
Enrich yourself with different views
Learned without disdain

A disgrace on the beyond
That can never be undone
Who shall rise and unveil
The Façade of Reality?

Deceive yourself by yielding
to soft words that cause no pain
Enrich yourself with different views
Learned without disdain

Is there still room for new dents in old wrecks?
A disgrace on the beyond that can never be undone
Deceive yourself by yielding to soft words
Enrich yourself by making up your own mind

Sanguis meus tibi non iam perbibendus sit

I really love this song,it's a pure masterpiece in my opinion.The lyrics are probably the best Mark ever wrote and I kind of find myself in them.I love everything about it:from the latin choir passages to the heavy riffs and even Tony Blair's speech.And the line "Only True Faith Survives"" is one of the best mottos ever!In my opinion one of the best from TPA,and totally in my top 5 Epica songs

It's the best song from TPA, and my third fav Epica song ever! It's a pure masterpiece. This song is full of emotions, and has everything what is needed in Epica music, choir, fabulous growls, and Simone sings excellent of course. I also love the part of whispering... It's a very complex song, over 8 minutes long, but it passes so fast to me... well as everything good passes fast. Can't ever get bored of it!

It's a great great song!!! I love the antithesis that exists in the song, with the clean vocals, the grunts, the whispering as magnoly mentioned above, and the part where Simone sings over Blair's speech gives me goosebumps.
