Epica - Dancing in a Hurricane lyrics

We are forced to live in silence
Eating dust and breathing violence
Keeping all the suffering within

Let me be the one to hold you
Trying hard, remaining hopeful
Making sure your heart is free of sin

In mother’s scorn blood was born
Where we belong our nations torn
Passage gone a war unknown to us all

Waiting to see your conviction
Swallowing proud premonitions
Clinging on to hope that slowly dies

Standing in the ruins of nature
Caused by forces born from danger
Cleaning hands where virtues live on ice

In mother’s scorn blood was born
A war unknown to us all

See the rays of light dance in hurricanes
The essence of our life
Held within cruel chains
Come and see the day’s unsolved history
The mirrors in the eyes
Are reflecting the fear
We can’t hide cruel commands
We will see their last stand
From the heart where we belong
Forever blind to the wasteland beyond

Find security in this misery
Build a world of death hear the fallen prey

(In the fire we’ve ignited
Thoughts of slaying dreams)
It's the highest prize
(In the ashes evil is reborn)
Your minds intricates
In a labyrinth turned inside out

In mother’s scorn blood was born
Where we belong our nation’s torn
Passage gone a war unknown to us all

See the rays of light dance in hurricanes
The essence of our life
Held within cruel chains
Come and see the day’s unsolved history
The mirrors in the eyes
Are reflecting the fear
See the sands of time play with prophecies
We always end up losing to life’s guarantee
Barren promises feed on your demise
This challenge to be free
Is a lost enterprise
We can’t hide cruel commands
We will see their last stand
From the heart where we belong
Yet we all know why the
Cruel commandments came along
Forever blind to the wasteland beyond
