"Cry For The Moon "The Embrace That Smothers - Part IV"" lyrics - EPICA

[Chorus: Simone Simons & 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, behind the scenes opens reality

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

[Chorus: Simone Simons & 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 its immunity
Morbid abuse of power in garden of Eden
Where the apple, where the apple gets a youthful
A youthful face

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

[Chorus: Simone Simons & 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

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

[Outro: Simone Simons]
You can't go on hiding yourself
Behind old fashioned fairytales
And keep washing your hands in innocence
