Epica - Retrospect lyrics

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
