英文摇滚歌曲：Epica - Feint

The very brightest candle of all has been extinguished
Smothered¹ by those who could not bear to face reality
Every beat of your heart tore the lies all apart
Made foundations quiver
Every wave in the lake caused the porcelain² to break
And I shiver...
The leftover³ tallow just doesn’t contain
All the right answers
Under a sea of dust lies a vast wealth of wisdom
An untuched snow turns red
Innocence⁴ dies
Every beat of your heart tore the lies all apart
Made foundations quiver
Every wave in the lake caused the porcelain to break
And I shiver...
This black page in history is not colourfast,
will stain the next
All that remains⁵ is just a feint of what was meant to be
This black page in history is not colourfast,
will stain the next
And nothing seems in life,
in dreams like what was meant to be
Every beat of your heart tore the lies all apart
Made foundations quiver
Every wave in the lake caused the porcelain to break
And I shiver...
