Lyrics

[Intro: Simone Simons] 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? [Verse 1: Simone Simons] The future doesn't pass And the past won't overtake the present All that remains is an obsolete illusion [Refrain: Simone Simons] We are afraid of all the things that could not be A phantom agony! [Verse 2: Simone Simons] Do we dream at night Or do we share the same old fantasy? I am a silhouette of the person wandering in my dreams [Pre-Chorus: Simone Simons] We are afraid of all the things that could not be A phantom agony! [Chorus: Mark Jansen & Simone Simons] Tears of unprecedеnted beauty Revеal 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! [Verse 3: Simone Simons] 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? [Pre-Chorus: Simone Simons] We are afraid of all the things that could not be A phantom agony! [Chorus: Mark Jansen & Simone Simons] Tears of unprecedented beauty Reveal the truth of existence We're all pessimists! 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! [Outro: Simone Simons] Teach me how to see and free the disbelief in me What we get is what we see, the Phantom Agony A te spiritus noster devoratur Et nostra anima capitur!
