Theme

A song dealing with a secret, forbidden relationship or obsession. **'Ecstasy'** here refers to the intense, pleasurable sin or emotional high that is built on lies and deception, highlighting the inherent contradiction between the desire for purity and the indulgence in dark desires.

Lyrics
You live in a world of fantasy You live in a web of deceit You want it all including me You like it all to be neat I come to you when shadows fall I leave as the dawn arrives Hide the truth to deceive them all How my good intention lies Try to silence the suspicions Feeding the dark inhibitions We can never let anyone see The sin I bring called **ecstasy** The sin I bring, **ecstasy** Secret meetings that we hide Deeds of iniquity The price of foolish pride The cost of immorality And we hide the truth to deceive them all And the pain of what will never be Try to silence the suspicions Feeding the dark inhibitions We can never let anyone see The sin I bring called **ecstasy** Try to silence the suspicions Feeding the dark inhibitions We can never let anyone see The sin I bring called **ecstasy** The sin I bring, **ecstasy** Try to silence the suspicions Feeding the dark inhibitions We can never let anyone see The sin I bring called **ecstasy** Try to silence the suspicions Feeding the dark inhibitions We can never let anyone see The sin I bring called **ecstasy** The sin I bring called **ecstasy** The sin I bring called **ecstasy** The sin I bring, **ecstasy** **Ecstasy**, **ecstasy**, **ecstasy**
