EPICA Design Your Universe (2009) 3. Unleashed

3. Unleashed

Declining, all color fading

Defining, time coming for me

Rescinding, my inspiration

Receding consciousness

Back in the day, I can recall that,

My thoughts were unclouded and sage

There was no black staining the walls of my memories

Now there's a haze pushing me sideways

And leaving me nothing to gain

Taking me back, locking me cold in disparity

Where was I meant to be?

I feel I'm lost in a dream

Long for the day I can be myself

When I'm free

When my sun has set

Released my soul forever

I'll have no regret

To be free

I'll exist again

No more lost endeavors

Nothing to contend

When I'm free

Color declines, all that defines me

Is falling away, far behind

Nothing to keep me with the time, the here and now

Where am I meant to be?

I feel I'm lost in a dream

Yearning again only to be myself

When I'm free

When my sun has set

Released my soul forever

I'll have no regret

To be free

I'll exist again

No more lost endeavors

Nothing to contend

When I'm free

Time is just a concept

And always the first thing to fade

Agony and weakness

Nothing we can never evade

Years are cruel, they break us

Bringing on decay and despair

Awareness and perception

Something we can never repair

Cure me, free me, help me, see me

No more worry, no more losing

Save me, near me, help me, hear me

No more heartache, no misery

Cure me, free me, help me, see me

No more worry, no agony

Save me, near me, help me, hear me

No more heartache, no despairing (We despair)

Cure me, free me, help me, see me

No more worry, no repairing (No repair)

Freedom for me is all I'm really wanting, needing

Give me power to break out

I can't hold on for any longer

My time has come to end it all

No one to blame, fate's only random

It's nothing we'll ever explain

So it remains

Where was I meant to be?

I feel I'm lost in a dream

Long for the day I can be myself

Free

When will I be unleashed?

It's not the way it should be

Yearning again only to be myself

When I'm free

Unleash my consciousness

When I'm free

When my sun has set

Released my soul forever

I'll have no regret

To be free

I'll exist again

No more lost endeavors

Nothing to contend

When I'm free
