Deconstruct Lyrics by Epica

Design Your Universe - Gold Edition

2009

[Verse 1: Simone Simons]
If we could see ourselves, the mirror would reflect insanity
Instead we camouflage the flaws that lie within
Condone the suffering we witness as we mingle casually
We need to right ourselves, or else we will derail

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Aiming too high
You are bound to fail
Patience is a vital virtue
That you'll never have

[Chorus]
Don't force me to believe
We're caught up in the greed
'Cause I just care for me
To break it, we'll need everyone
Think it through: unite is the only way

[Verse 2: Simone Simons]
A raging tragedy ignored will have its justice, finally
Distress and poverty is everyone's disease
We'll come to realise for all we've done
There is a price to pay
Yet hope is never lost, there always is a way

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Trumping the game
Is no easy way
Enterprise and discipline
Will pay off in the end

[Chorus]
Don't force me to believe
We're caught up in the greed
'Cause I just care for me
To break it, we'll need everyone
Think it through: unite is the only way

[Choir]
If we ever could look into fate's mirror
We would never have ended up here
We're distracted by every sin committed
It should always be ever so clear

[Simone Simons]
If we ever look
We would never be here

Don't force me to believe
I'm never needing anyone
I only care for me
I'm thinking through
And mine's the only way

We are caught up
In our failure
Now our union
Is our savior
It's the only way

If we ever
We would never
If we ever
We're together

[Chorus]
Don't force me to believe
We're caught up in the greed
'Cause I just care for me
To break it, we'll need everyone
Think it through: unite is the only way
