Unleashed Lyrics by Epica

Retrospect

2009

[Intro: Choir]
Declining, all color fading
Defining, time coming for me
Rescinding, my inspiration
Receding consciousness

[Verse 1: Simone Simons]
Back in the day, I can recall that
My thoughts were unclouded and sage
There was no black staining the walls of my memories
Now there's a haze pushing me sideways
And leaving me nothing to gain
Taking me back, locking me cold in disparity

[Pre-Chorus: Simone Simons]
Where was I meant to be?
I feel I'm lost in a dream
Long for the day I can be myself

[Chorus: Simone Simons]
When I'm free
When my sun has set
Released my soul forever
I'll have no regret
To be free
I'll exist again
No more lost endeavors
Nothing to contend
When I'm free

[Verse 2: Simone Simons]
Color declines, all that defines me
Is falling away, far behind
Nothing to keep me with the time
The here and now

[Pre-Chorus: Simone Simons]
Where am I meant to be?
I feel I'm lost in a dream
Yearning again only to be myself

[Chorus: Simone Simons]
When I'm free
When my sun has set
Released my soul forever
I'll have no regret
To be free
I'll exist again
No more lost endeavors
Nothing to contend
When I'm free

[Verse 3: Simone Simons & Choir]
(Cure me, free me, help me, see me)
(No more worry, no more losing)
Time is just a concept (Save me, near me)
And always the first thing to fade (Help me, hear me)
(No more heartache, no misery)
Agony and weakness (Cure me, free me)
Nothing we can never evade (Help me, see me)
(No more worry, no agony)
Years are cruel, they break us (Save me, near me)
Bringing on decay and despair (Help me, hear me)
(We despair; No more heartache, no despairing)
Awareness and perception (Cure me, free me)
Something we can never evade (Help me, see me)
(No repair; No more worry, no repairing)

[Bridge: Choir]
Freedom for me is all I'm really wanting, needing
Give me power to break out
I can't hold on for any longer
My time has come to end it all

[Verse 4: Simone Simons & Choir]
No one to blame, fate's only random
It's nothing we'll ever explain
So it remains

Where was I meant to be?
I feel I'm lost in a dream
Long for the day I can be myself
Free

When will I be unleashed?
It's not the way it should be
Yearning again only to be myself (Unleash my)
When I'm free (Consciousness)

[Chorus: Simone Simons]
When I'm free
When my sun has set
Released my soul forever
I'll have no regret
To be free
I'll exist again
No more lost endeavors
Nothing to contend
When I'm free
