Epica
Cry For The Moon (The Embrace That Smothers, Pt. IV) [Live]
[Intro: Choir]
Follow your common sense!
You cannot hide yourself
Behind a fairytale forever and ever
Only by revealing the whole truth can we disclose
The soul of this sick bulwark forever and ever
Forever and ever!

[Verse 1: Simone Simons]
Indoctrinated minds so very often contain sick thoughts
And commit most of the evil they preach against

[Verse 2: Mark Jansen]
Don't try to convince me with messages from God
You accuse us of sins committed by yourselves
It's easy to condemn without looking in the mirror
Behind the scenes opens reality!

[Chorus: Simone Simons]
Eternal silence cries out for justice
Forgiveness is not for sale nor is the will to forget

[Post-Chorus: Choir]
Follow your common sense!
You cannot hide yourself
Behind a fairytale forever and ever
Only by revealing the whole truth can we disclose
The soul of this sick bulwark forever and ever
[Verse 3: Mark Jansen]
Virginity has been stolen at very young ages
And the extinguisher loses it's immunity
Morbid abuse of power in the garden of Eden
Where the apple gets a youthful face

[Chorus: Simone Simons]
Eternal silence cries out for justice
Forgiveness is not for sale nor is the will to forget

[Post-Chorus: Choir]
Follow your common sense!
You cannot hide yourself
Behind a fairytale forever and ever
Only by revealing the whole truth can we disclose
The soul of this sick bulwark forever and ever
Forever and ever!

[Chorus: Simone Simons]
Eternal silence cries out for justice
Forgiveness is not for sale nor is the will to forget

[Outro: Simone Simons & Choir]
You can't go on hiding yourself behind
Old fashioned fairytales and keep washing your hands in innocence
