Step back in silence, meet the ecstacy in life
You shouldn't suffer so much
Face the enemy within yourself
Feel this growing anger
Wash in the pain the gates will not be shut
To the world of anger
Feel as much as I feel
More pain than the growing sorrow [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/g/gardenian/ecstasy_of_life.html ]
Lies supposed to break me
As you always say
It's a war down in the shadows
Your ecstacy lies in hell
Step back in silence, meet the ecstacy in life
You shouldn't suffer so much
Face the enemy within yourself
Feel this growing anger
Lies supposed to break me
As you always say
It's a war down in the shadows
Your ecstacy lies in hell
I am not the author of this metal masterpiece,however, i do have my own interpretation of these lyrics. Brief lyrics that say alot have always facinated me by their effectiveness. I believe these lyrics are about personal atonement for sins committed against ones-self(self-neglect/abuse/et... Al). In real life facing one's demons is an integral part of learning,growing,and above all:following your own heart.
