Epica The Skeleton Key

Nos furiae nocturni terrores
 

We are the night

We haunt your mind

 

A thousand silent voices have been screaming in my mind this night again

I am trying to decipher the allusion so I'll finally ascend

Run around in circles no direction without any end to see

Imagine there's a world with all the answers, are they hiding within me?

 

Can we find the lightning that shines inside our mind?

Can we fight the dark side, we've all been trying to hide?

The many sleepless nights, the panic that rewinds

Waiting for the sunrise as paradise arrives

 

We own the night

You better hide

 

The whispers of a liar cursing me inside, my thoughts are all on fire

Have been staring in the mirror of perception leaving everything behind

Holding on to sanity before the darkness cuts me like a knife

I am suffocating in a world in which I have to die to feel alive

 

Can we find the lightning that lives inside our mind?

Can we fight the dark side, we've all been trying to hide?

The many sleepless nights, the panic that rewinds

Waiting for the sunrise as paradise arrives

 

Darkness bleeding in the night's light

Standing at my bedside

Bring upon the nightmares

 

Open up the secret window

Step into the unknown

Longing not to be scared

 

Lightning that shines inside in our minds

A dark sight we've all been trying to hide

 

We've all been dancing in the dark

We've all been drifting worlds apart

Nos furiae daemonia tua

We've all been dancing in the dark

 

Can we find the lightning that shines inside our mind?

Can we fight the dark side, we've all been trying to hide?

The many sleepless nights, the panic that rewinds

Waiting for the sunrise as paradise arrives

 

With peace of mind

Unlocking all the secrets in me

We harmonize

I carry my own skeleton key
