Epica - The Skeleton Key lyrics

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
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

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
