Epica

Epica is a Dutch symphonic metal band founded by guitarist and vocalist Mark Jansen subsequent to his departure from After Forever. They are known for their symphonic sound and the use of female vocals and male growls performed by Simone Simons and Mark Jansen, respectively. All six members write the music, but Mark Jansen and Simone Simons write most of the lyrics,[citation needed] which largely deal with philosophical topics, including science, religion, and world events. To date, Epica has released five studio albums (not including their instrumental album The Score – An Epic Journey), with their most recent studio album, Requiem for the Indifferent, released on March 9, 2012. more »

Appearance is deceptive 
So perfect in disguise 
There's more than what you see 

A semblance is protective 
A blinder for the eyes 
A place to hide and flee 

Flee and you'll never see 
What you're going to be 
If you throw away the key 

The truth from the past you can't make it last 
Flee and walk away 
From what you are this day 
If you are afraid to stay 

Beyond the shore the sea is filled up 
with sentiment and strength 
Here lie the thoughts imprisoned 
A field of forces and laments 

How can we hide here 
We need to change our ways 
How can we tell lies here 
We turn our eyes away 

From the truth 
From the past 
You cannot 
Make it last 

If you do not cease to run away from truth 
You will never see the shadow 
of your dying youth 

A façade is what we all possess 
But on the inside it stays a mess 

Superficial changes won't recall the past 
Don't deny the clock is ticking 
and it's racing fast 

Fading tokens of our latter days 
Make us think we need to change our ways 

Deep, the feelings hide 
They're wasted from within 
And my shell will never break 

Appearance is deceptive 
So perfect in disguise 
A place to flee and hide and run away 
Lift the shadow
