Consign to Oblivion (”A New Age Dawns - Part III”)

Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro] [Refrain: Simone Simons] How can we let this happen and Just keep our eyes closed 'till the end? [Verse 1: Mark Jansen] 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 [Refrain: Simone Simons] How can we let this happen and Just keep our eyes closed 'till the end? When we will stand in front of heaven's gate It will be too late! [Chorus: Simone Simons] 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 minds We are so afraid of all the things unknown [Verse 2: Mark Jansen] A must we appease is the lust to get laid Nothing really matters, just devouring our prey Our good intentions have always been delayed so Our generous acts have always come too late [Refrain: Simone Simons] How can we let this happen and Just keep our eyes closed 'till the end? When we will stand in front of heaven's gate It will be too late! [Chorus: Simone Simons] 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 minds We are so afraid of all the things unknown We just flee into a dream that never comes true [Mark Jansen] Low to the ground we feel safe Low to the ground we feel brave [Choir] Oblivisci tempta quod didicisti [Mark Jansen] Open your eyes; we're not in paradise How can't you see, this stress is killing me Fulfill your dreams; life is not what it seems We have captured time So time made us all hostages without mercy [Choir] Seemingly generous fooling ourselves Selfishly venomous time tells [Mark Jansen] 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 your eyes; we're not in paradise How can't you see, this stress is killing me Fulfill your dreams; life is not what it seems We have captured time So time made us all hostages without mercy Low to the ground we feel safe Low to the ground we feel brave [Outro: Simone Simons] 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!
