Píseň: The Obsessive Devotion

Interpret:
Epica
Album:
The Divine Conspiracy
Don’t you ever blind me 
Don’t be a foolish thief 
-Am I? 
Don’t you ever bring yourself to grief 


Don’t you ever blind me 
Don’t ever trick my mind 
-Did I? 
Don’t you think that you can lie to me 
-Did I lie? 


Fortuna exprimitur artibus falsis 
Et mendacem memorem esse oportet 


If he is your moon, I will be your earth 
To which you can return, safely or injured. 


I feel only misery for myself when I 
Look through the eyes of someone else 


Don’t you choke and bind me 
Don’t be a bleeding heart 
-Am I? 
Fold then walk away or play your cards 
-Let us play! 


Fortuna exprimitur artibus falsis 
Et mendacem memorem esse oportet 


If he is your moon, I will be your earth 
To which you can return, safely or injured. 


I feel only misery for myself when I 
Look through the eyes of someone else 
I can't even recognize the path which has to be 
Taken to enter infinity. 


-Don't you dare me 
I dare you 
-You don't care about me 
I care about you 
-Don’t you touch me 
-Liar 


Fortuna exprimitur artibus falsis 
Et mendacem memorem esse oportet 


Adoratio permanebit 
Quotiens me eges, adero 


I prefer to be unhappy with you, 
rather than being depressed without you. 
I belong to someone, I'm dedicated to 
Nothing lasts forever but you, you do… 


I prefer to be a lair just like you 
To fulfill my deepest desires 
I belong to someone, I'm dedicated to 
But all that I desire is you 


One thoughtless moment passes in slow motion 
As I lie down, I realise that… 
All I wish is to get rid of this Obsessive Devotion 


Venia ad vitam aeternam 
Non mibi, non tibi, sed nobis 


Hit me as you can 
Beat me as you wish 
Liar 


Fortuna mutual coniuncti 
Per tota saecula futura 


I have raised myself for you 
But now I regret 


Venia ad vitam aeternam 


This is the end
