Feint

Epica

The very brightest candle of all
Has been extinguished
Smothered by those
Who could not bear to face
Reality

Every beat of your heart
Tore the lies all apart
Made foundations quiver
Every wave in the lake
Caused the porcelain to break
And i shiver

The leftover tallow
Just doesn't contain
All the right answers
Under a sea of dust
Lies a vast
Wealth of wisdom

As untouched snow
Turns to red
Innocence dies

Every beat of your heart
Tore the lies all apart
Made foundations quiver
Every wave in the lake
Caused the porcelain to break
And i shiver

This black page
In history
Is not colourfast
Will stain the next
All that remains
Is just a feint
Of what was meant to be

This black page
In history
Is not colourfast
Will stain the next
And nothing seems
In life in dreams
Like what was meant to be

Every beat of your heart
Tore the lies all apart
Made foundations quiver
Every wave in the lake
Caused the porcelain to break
And i shiver
I
Shiver
