The Phantom Agony - Orchestral Version

(I. Impasse of Thoughts)
 I can't see you, I can't hear you
 Do you still exist?
 I can't feel you, I can't touch you,
 Do you exist?
 The Phantom Agony
 I can't taste you, I can't think of you,
 Do we exist at all?
 (II. Between hope and despair)
 The future doesn't pass
 And the past won't overtake the present
 All that remains is an obsolete illusion
 We are afraid of all the things that could not be
 A phantom agony
 ♪
 Do we dream at night
 Or do we share the same old fantasy?
 I am a silhouette of the person wandering in my dreams
 We are afraid of all the things that could not be
 A phantom agony
 Tears of unprecedented beauty
 Reveal the truth of existence
 We're all sadists
 The age-old development of consciousness
 Drives us away from the essence of life
 We meditate too much,
 So that our instincts will fade away
 They fade away
 What's the point of life
 And what's the meaning if we all die in the end?
 Does it make sense to learn or do we forget everything?
 We are afraid of all the things that could not be
 A phantom agony
 Tears of unprecedented beauty
 Reveal the truth of existence
 We're all pessimists
 The age-old development of consciousness
 Drives us away from the essence of life
 ♪
 We meditate too much,
 So that our instincts will fade away
 They fade away
 Teach me how to see and free the disbelief in me
 What we get is what we see, the Phantom Agony
 A te spiritus noster devoratur
 Et nostra anima capitur
 (III. Nevermore)
 The lucidity of my mind has been revealde in new dreams
 I am able to travel where my heart goes
 In search of self-realisation
 This is the way to escape from our agitation
 And develop ourselves
 Use your illusion and enter my dream...
