Lyrics Consign To Oblivion - A New Age Dawns 3 - Epica

How can we let this happen
And just keep our eyes closed 'til the end?

The only thing that counts is the prosperity of today
Most important to us is that our bills get paid
Our good intentions have always been delayed

How can we let this happen
And just keep our eyes closed 'til the end?
When we will stand in front of heaven's gate
It will be too late

Try to unlearn all that you've learnt
Try to listen to your heart
No, we can't understand the universe
By just using our mind

We are so afraid of all the things unknown

A must we appease is the lust to get laid
Nothing really matters, just devouring our prey
Our good intentions have always been delayed
Our generous acts have always come too late

How can we let this happen
And just keep our eyes closed 'til the end
When we will stand in front of heaven's gate
It will be too late

Try to unlearn all that you've learnt
Try to listen to your heart
No, we can't understand the universe
By just using our mind

We are so afraid of all the things unknown
We just flee into a dream that never comes true

Low, low, low to the ground we feel safe
Low, low, low to the ground we feel brave

Oblivisci tempta quod didicisti

Open your eyes, we're not in paradise
How can't you see this stress is killing me
Fulfil your dreams, life is not what is seems
We have captured time, so time made us all hostages without mercy

Seemingly generous, fooling ourselves
Selfishly venomous time tells

Too much thinking goes at the cost of all our intuition
Our thoughts create reality but we neglect to be
So we're already slaves of our artificial world
We shouldn't try to control life but listen to the laws of nature

Open up your eyes, we're not in paradise
How can't you see this stress is killing me
Fulfil your dreams, life is not what is seems
We have captured time, so time made us all hostages without mercy

Low, low, low to the ground we feel safe
Low, low, low to the ground we feel brave

We all think we're generous but we only fool ourselves
The only thing that matters is our way and our vision
Selfishly we're venomous but you know the time tells us
There is more to life than our higher positions
Race for perfection, better, faster
We must return to the laws of the nature
Free ourselves from madness
