The Obsessive Devotion Songtext
von Epica

Don′t you ever blind me
Don't be a foolish thief
(Am I?)
Don′t you ever bring yourself to grief

Don't you ever blind me
Don't ever trick my mind
(Did I?)
Don′t you think that you can lie to me
(Did I lie?)

Fortuna exprimitur artibus falsis
Et mendacem memorem esse oportet

If he is your moon, I will be your earth
To which you can return, safely or injured

I feel only misery for myself when I
Look through the eyes of someone else


Don′t you choke and bind me
Don't be a bleeding heart
Am I?
Fold then walk away or play your cards
Let us play!

Fortuna exprimitur artibus falsis
Et mendacem memorem esse oportet

If he is your moon, I will be your earth
To which you can return, safely or injured

I feel only misery for myself when I
Look through the eyes of someone else
I can′t even recognize the path which has to be
Taken to enter infinity

Don't you dare me (I dare you)
You don′t care about me (I care about you)
Don't you touch me (liar)

Fortuna exprimitur artibus falsis
Et mendacem memorem esse oportet
Adoratio permanebit

Adoratio permanebit
Quotiens me eges, adero

I prefer to be unhappy with you,
Rather than being depressed without you


I belong to someone, I′m dedicated to
Nothing lasts forever but you, you do

I prefer to be a lair just like you

To fulfill my deepest desires
I belong to someone, I'm dedicated to
But all that I desire is you

One thoughtless moment passes in slow motion
As I lie down, I realize that
All I wish is to get rid of this obsessive devotion
Venia ad vitam aeternam

Non mibi, non tibi, sed nobis
Hit me as you can
Beat me as you wish

Liar
Fortuna mutual coniuncti
Per tota saecula futura
I have raised myself for you

But now I regret
Venia ad vitam aeternam
This is the end
