Death of a Dream (“The Embrace that Smothers - Part VII”)

Lyrics

[Choir] I followed your rules A willing fool Branded by shame [Choir] My soul suffers from your hostile ways I bear so many scars, hit me hard Time to change, we have to rearrange For this has gone too far, way too far [Mark Jansen, Mark Jansen & Sander Gommans] Creating new laws and living by unwritten rules Restricting us [Choir] My soul suffers from your hostile ways I can't let go [Mark Jansen, Mark Jansen & Sander Gommans] Creating new spins on ancient creed to fit your views Denying us [Sander Gommans, Mark Jansen, Mark Jansen & Sander Gommans] You created this world Where honesty is not allowed You created this world Where ignorance is being taught You created this world While I am all you'll never be You've been drilling these Such falsely-based philosophies ...in me [Simone Simons] The curtain has fallen There's no one behind Corrected one mistake But I am still around Our fight is over My scars will leave a stain You thought that it was all easy But I will still remain [Sander Gommans, Mark Jansen, Mark Jansen & Sander Gommans] You created yourself Based on nothing else but lies You created yourself Where all your aspiration died You created yourself While I am all you'll never be You're deceiving me Now I am forcing you to see ...this [Simone Simons] The curtain has fallen There's no one behind Corrected one mistake But I am still around Our fight is over My scars will leave a stain You thought that it was all easy But I will still remain [Simone Simons] Take my hand I'm sinking I'm reaching out for you [Simone Simons] Can't you see what you've done to all of us? Torturing me has no use here anymore [Choir] I followed your rules A willing fool Branded by shame [Choir] My soul suffers from your hostile ways I bear so many scars, hit me hard Time to change, we have to rearrange For this has gone too far, way too far [Mark Jansen, Mark Jansen & Sander Gommans] Creating new laws and living by unwritten rules Restricting us [Choir] My soul suffers from your hostile ways I can't let go [Mark Jansen, Mark Jansen & Sander Gommans] Creating new spins on ancient creed to fit your views Denying us [Simone Simons] The curtain has fallen There's no one behind Corrected one mistake But I am still around Our fight is over My scars will leave a stain You thought that it was all easy But I will still remain Your time is over I'm taking back what's mine You thought that you could keep me Under your thumb and mind [Simone Simons] Take my hand I'm sinking I'm reaching out for you In my dying dream
