[Lyric] Victims of Contingency Omega Alive (Epica)

[Verse 1: Mark Jansen]
Your words are meaningless, as pain fills the void
(Hollow words won't hurt no longer)
You will regret every life you've destroyed
(Blaming the whole world will never make you stronger)

Be prepared for the righteous self!

[Chorus 1: Simone Simons]
If you blame all your failures on someone else
Without any remorse
(Without your remorse)

If you don't face the weakness of your own self
You will take the same course
(You'll take the same course)

[Verse 2: Mark Jansen]
Your deeds are reasonless, you adore yourself
(Empty deeds impress no longer)
You will regret everyone you've envied
(Blaming it on life will never make you stronger)
Be prepared for the confrontation!

[Chorus 1: Simone Simons]
If you blame all your failures on someone else
Without any remorse
(Without your remorse)

If you don't face the weakness of your own self
You will take the same course
(You'll take the same course)

[Bridge: Simone Simons]
If you blame all your failures on someone else
You avoid every chance
(You've lost your last chance)
To learn from yourself

[Chorus 1: Simone Simons]
If you blame all your failures on someone else
Without any remorse
(Without your remorse)

If you don't face the weakness of your own self
You will take the same course
(You'll take the same course)
[Chorus 2: Simone Simons]
We can't blame all our failures on someone else
For our own protection
(So much to protect)

We can't learn from decisions in our own lives
Without self-reflection
(We will never flee from contingency)

[Outro: Mark Jansen]
We will never flee from contingency!
