Epica The Phantom Agony Lyrics

The Phantom Agony Lyrics

[I. Impasse of Thoughts] 



I can’t see you, I can’t hear you 

Do
you still exist? 



I can’t feel you, I can’t touch you, 

Do you
exist? 



The Phantom Agony 



I can’t taste you, I can’t
think of you, 

Do we exist at all? 



[II. Between hope and despair]




The future doesn’t pass 

And the past won’t overtake the
present 

All that remains is an obsolete illusion 



We are afraid
of all the things that could not be 

A phantom agony 



Do we dream
at night 

Or do we share the same old fantasy? 

I am a silhouette of
the persen wandering in my dreams 



Tears of unprecedented beauty


Reveal the truth of existence 

We’re all sadists 



The
age-old development of consciousness 

Drives us away from the essence of
life 

We meditate too much, 

so that our instincts will fade away


They fade away 



What’s the point of life 

And what’s the
meaning if we all die in the end? 

Does it make sense to learn or do we
forget everything? 



Tears of unprecedented beauty 

Reveal the
truth of existence 

We’re all pessimists 



Teach me how to see
and free the disbelief in me 

What we get is what we see, the Phantom Agony




[III. Nevermore] 



The lucidity of my mind has been revealde
in new dreams 

I am able to travel where my heart goes 

In search of
self-realisation 



This is the way to escape from our agitation


And develop ourselves 

Use your illusion and enter my dream...
