"Retrospect" lyrics - EPICA

Tick-tock goes the clock as time is passing by
Don't you know this moment will exist and fade to black
When we look back upon mistake
We try to find the way
Never let the sticks and stones break bones and beat us through
I remember the light
Turn the world upside down
Reflecting on the many years
That passed us by
Once in every now and again hard inside
To grasp reality and let our light shine through
We welcome to end raids of rising tides
And the darkness that surrounds us turns to light
Burn up there we'll always say that ballast will remain
Find the key of might to open doors and this engaged
When we all enterprise find the key to survive
Unlock the secrets of the heart and memories
Once in every now and again hard inside
To grasp reality and let our light shine through
We welcome to end raids of rising tides
And the darkness that surrounds us turns to light
Mindless will show you now
And never reside
There is the different way
Inflame your energy
This hurting
Believing
Your preaching
Said all been paid
Once in every now and again hard inside
To grasp reality and let our light shine through
We welcome to end raids of rising tides
And the darkness that surrounds us turns to light
Take it for the anniversary era
Out of our sight
