Dancing in a Gypsy Camp - Epica

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 premonition

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 the life held within cruel chains

Come and see the day’s unsolved history

The mirror 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 the 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
