"Apparition" lyrics - EPICA

[Intro: Mark Jansen]
Dive into the unknown

[Verse 1: Simone Simons]
A song with a haunting rhyme
Playing beats of a broken heart melody
A moon with a starless sky
Singing the song of spirit that was trapped in time

[Chorus: Simone Simons, Mark Jansen]
Open the halls
Our souls are caged in a prison of time
We all are lost in the dark
Seeking solace
A yearning desire
Unleash all our broken hearts
Dive into the unknown

[Verse 2: Simone Simons]
She wanders alone at night
Is searching for any trace of untainted dreams
She'll never give up the fight
And sheds a light on the echoes of all youthful lies

[Chorus: Simone Simons, Mark Jansen]
Open the halls
Our souls are caged in a prison of time
We all are lost in the dark
Seeking solace
A yearning desire
Unleash all our broken hearts
Dive into the unknown

[Bridge: Simone Simons]
Inside these halls all alone
A chill in my bones
You can't resist finality
Condemned by tears
Chained

[Guitar solo]

[Verse 3: Simone Simons]
Depicting your pain in blue
A tortured soul far away from what's good and true
A ghost filled with disbelief
In search of peace, feeding on the hearts so full of fears

[Chorus: Simone Simons, Mark Jansen]
Open the halls
Our souls are caged in a prison of time
We all are lost in the dark
Seeking solace
A yearning desire
Unleash all our broken hearts
Dive into the unknown

[Post-Chorus: Mark Jansen]
All alone
'Cause we are living in hell
Conflicted to the bone
We will rise
