EPICA LYRICS

1. Alpha - Anteludium

Ego primum semen omnis rei terrae
Ego quoque finis universi:
Alpha, Omega

2. Abyss Of Time - Countdown To Singularity

Fill the void in me
See life beyond the veil
Replace all thoughts from the abyss with cosmic energy
Ignite the flame in thee
Fill out the tree of your life
We are rooted deep in the darkness
And keep growing towards the light

Be without your fears
For a thousand years
Search for stillness deep inside
One thought that grows in the abyss of time
Fills up the vast space with matter and life
Free of the darkness that fetters the soul
Find at the source the end of your goal

Find the spark in me
See life beyond the dream
Replace your darkest emotions with pure divinity
Ignite the flame in me
Unite with your inner light
We should free ourselves from the shadows
And the bondage of the night

Be without your fears
For a thousand years
Be the master of your life
One thought that grows in the abyss of time
Fills up the vast space with matter and life
Free of the darkness that fetters the soul
Find at the source the end of your goal

Fight back your fears forever
Be the master of your life
Learn to unlearn

In the beginning there was a timeless, space-less, nothingness
And into that nothingness came a thought, purposeful, all-pervading
So ended the Void

Surge, the Demiurge
Shaper of a false universe
Search that deadly urge
Your walls of self-protection are
Walls of self-imprisonment

Be without your fears
For a thousand years
Search for stillness deep inside
Strive for harmony in duality
To revise the book of life
There was one thought that grew in the abyss of time
It filled up the vast space with matter and life
Freed from the darkness that fettered the soul
We found at the end our reason, our goal

We march on
We're counting down
To singularity
While we drown
We're moving on
To master wisdom
To be free

3. The Skeleton Key

Nos furiae nocturni terrores

We are the night
We haunt your mind

A thousand silent voices have been screaming in my mind this night again
I am trying to decipher the allusion so I'll finally ascend
Run around in circles no direction without any end to see
Imagine there's a world with all the answers, are they hiding within me?

Can we find the lightning that shines inside our mind?
Can we fight the dark side, we've all been trying to hide?
The many sleepless nights, the panic that rewinds
Waiting for the sunrise as paradise arrives

We own the night
You better hide

The whispers of a liar cursing me inside, my thoughts are all on fire
Have been staring in the mirror of perception leaving everything behind
Holding on to sanity before the darkness cuts me like a knife
I am suffocating in a world in which I have to die to feel alive

Can we find the lightning that lives inside our mind?
Can we fight the dark side, we've all been trying to hide?
The many sleepless nights, the panic that rewinds
Waiting for the sunrise as paradise arrives

Darkness bleeding in the night's light
Standing at my bedside
Bring upon the nightmares

Open up the secret window
Step into the unknown
Longing not to be scared

Lightning that shines inside in our minds
A dark sight we've all been trying to hide

We've all been dancing in the dark
We've all been drifting worlds apart
Nos furiae daemonia tua
We've all been dancing in the dark

Can we find the lightning that shines inside our mind?
Can we fight the dark side, we've all been trying to hide?
The many sleepless nights, the panic that rewinds
Waiting for the sunrise as paradise arrives

With peace of mind
Unlocking all the secrets in me
We harmonize
I carry my own skeleton key

4. Seal Of Solomon

Disclose the spirit of Saturn
Right under the sun
The seal of Solomon
Observe the cryptic hexagram
The key to reveal
Your Solomon seal

Be the one to feel
Pierce the sphere
Dissolve your fear
Be the one to heal
Find your seal

We tear membranes all apart to see
Be the one to see
Search for more
To reach your core
Be the one to hear
Seek through me

We wear the mystics of the heart

Disclose the spirit of Saturn
Right under the sun
The seal of Solomon
Observe the cryptic hexagram
The key to reveal
Your Solomon seal

Be the one to rise
Burn the lies
And cut the ties
Be the one to see
Turn the key

We tear membranes all apart

Disclose the spirit of Saturn
Right under the sun
The seal of Solomon
Observe the cryptic hexagram
The key to maintain
Solomon's domain

Creation of balance in life
Align all your chakras
Converge to regeneration

Will we transform into higher consciousness
For our time is coming
Can we create the envisioned harmony
For our final victory

Disclose the spirit of Saturn
Right under the sun
The seal of Solomon
Observe the cryptic hexagram
The key to maintain
Solomon's domain

Creation of balance in life
Align all your chakras
Converge to regeneration

5. Gaia

Huc muta vitia
Lucem veram aspice
Serva nimbum matris Gaias
Hic in altissimo
Tempus urget nos homines
Ne timete pia facere

We are the devil in disguise
Running away from obligations
Don't look the other way, fight to live on
Lift off the veil that bounds the night
Try to avert our devastation
Hold your head up high, fight and stand strong

Gaia, your spirit has left forever
Those tears that you've shed
Dear Gaia, it's never too late
Save our souls, arise and create

Huc muta vitia
Lucem vеram aspice
Ne timetе pia facere

To rule the world with tyranny
Will never prize the ways of wisdom
Don't tear the world apart, fight to prolong
The sun keeps shining for us all
Freedom will never fade to shadow
Step into the light, it's where we belong

Gaia, your spirit has left forever
Those tears that you've shed
Dear Gaia, it's never too late
Save our souls, arise and create

Verity, a tragedy
Burn as the fire ascends
In my mind, this is the end
No last chance, watch the world go up in flames
In the light the darkness cannot hide
Forever in denial, careless till the end
In the night our vision has gone blind
Time to open up your eyes on to the cold dark night

Huc muta vitia
Lucem veram aspice
Serva nimbum matris Gaias
Hic in altissimo
Tempus urget nos homines
Ne timete pia facere

Gaia, your spirit has left forever
Those tears that you've shed
Dear Gaia, it's never too late
Save our souls, arise and create

Hic in altissimo

6. Code Of Life

شيفرة حياة علم تغيير شيفرة حياة علم الموت
(Code, life, science, alteration, code, life, science, death)

Standing before our great alteration
We all are lost in a power maze
Minds contemplating around saving and life's mutation
We are the victims of our destination
The drive within is an endless race
No cure for progress our lives will be lost in damnation

Vita
Can we defy the code of life?
We try to be divine
It's the origin of human lies

شيفرة حياة (Code, life)

Why are we changing what's there by creation?
It's meant to be for eternity
Will we abandon the arms of our dear Mother Nature?
Seeking too deep in the glass of all wisdom
Seeing a wave in the sea of life
To cure the fallen, we pay the price of greater danger

Vita
Can we defy the code of life?
We try to be divine
It's the origin of human lies

There is no soul in artificial selection
As we are driven by endless pride
We'll crack the code of life

شيفرة حياة علم تغيير (Code, life, science, alteration)

Vita...
Can we defy the code of life?
We try to be divine
And bathe in all eternal light
We can't design another's life
We should obey the wind that sways
We should not lead astray
For the code of life's, the only way

شيفرة حياة علم الموت (Code, life, science, death)

7. Freedom - The Wolves Within

Choose
Between hungry wolves
Between lies and truth
Only one of two will be strong and rule
Choose
Between hungry wolves
Between light and gloom
Only one of two has to starve and lose

Choose to take that crucial leap of faith
Abandon fear and ease all your pain (Our fixation)
Face your chaos, feed the enemy
An appetite for your harmony (Our vibration)
Darkness drags you down
Step in the light
Wisdom feeds the righteous mind
As a change is one choice away

Freedom, true freedom
To know where to seek is to see we're the gateway to our mystery
Our freedom, all we ever need is freedom
The wisdom we gain will abate all the pain so we can rise
To greater heights

We can try to cover up our flaws
In time we'll have to deal with its cause (Our damnation)
Clear your chaos, end the agony
Restore your balance and you'll be free (Our salvation)
Sadness drags you down
Retrieve your spark
Wisdom feeds the seeking mind
As a change is one choice away

Freedom, true freedom
To know where to seek is to see we're the gateway to our mystery
Our freedom, all we ever need is freedom
The wisdom we gain will abate all the pain so we can rise
To greater heights

Choose
Between hungry wolves
Between lies and truth
Only one of whom will strive onward
One of these two will lose
Follow reason
Wisdom leads to freedom

All left behind
With two sides that won't align
In a world out of its mind
You can find the truth in you
Rise
The battle will unfold before our eyes
This war defines who we are
Be sure to not become what we despise

Freedom, true freedom
To know where to seek is to see we're the gateway to our mystery
Our freedom, all we ever have is freedom
The choices we make will define our own fate so we can rise
To greater heights

Fight
The righteous mind survives
Choose
Between hungry wolves
Between light and gloom
Only one of two will be strong and rule
Lose
Wolves
Choose

Oceani nos guttulae
Spiritus omnium viventium
Miscere cum universo

[II. Sri Yantra]

Rise and shine with all your light
Awake the force within you
Wade in waters filled with joy
Try to find the place that hides
The treasure in the palace
All the stars are by your side

This bright light
Does shine from within you
Inside life does thrive
And those that ridicule never know

Form a holy trinity
This is the knowledge that we have been searching for
The barriers will fall

Rise to heights
Those who seek will know
All shadows will flee, go with the flow of life
Those who seek will see
Endlessly

Balance and harmony

Don't fear the ones that judge you
All you find they will deny
Trust your heart as it's the way
Refine the finest diamond
Look inside, you are divine

This bright light
Does shine from within you
Inside life does thrive
And those that ridicule never know

Just as water turns to snow

Deep within the heart of Earth lie
Veiled for men, the Halls of Amenti

[IV. Duality]

We all are divided by space-time
Our duality
We all fall apart in this lifetime
Together we stand strong
Together we are one (We are one)

Wherever we will go
Energy does flow
Energy does flow

We all are united by nature
Our coherency
We all are a part of each other
Together we stand strong
Together we are one

[V. The Chikhai Bardo - Navigating the Afterlife Realms]

As we linger towards our final breath (Final breath)
Forge yourself, be ready for the moment of your death

I
Collide

Darkness dies in light
Embrace your final breath
Navigate beyond your death

Rise, perceive and do believe

What is above so is below
In time we learn to heal the cells
We can cure ourselves
Use this healing energy
Form a holy trinity
This is the knowledge that we have been searching for

Just as water turns to snow

May thy kingdom come

9. Rivers

Become one with imagination
No more fairytales (No more fairytales)
Our souls will unite together
We will lift the veil (Lift the veil)

Your touch has turned to stone
No fire in your bones
It's time to leave the past behind
The road is neverending
All dreams will start ascending
Beyond the boundaries of the mind

Break loose from the chains
Rise above the waves
Fighting in the darkness
Dancing in the light
Break out of your cage
Turn another page
Drowning in the river
Swim against the tide of life

Holding tight to the ever after
Living for a sign (Living for a sign)
To survive raging storms together
Through the eye of time (Through the eye of time)

The eye shows no reflection
No dreams without inception
Exists within oceans of time

Break loose from the chains
Rise above the waves
Fighting in the darkness
Dancing in the light
Break out of your cage
Turn another page
Drowning in the river
Swim against the tide of life

The coil in which we're living
Is more than another prison
The scheme of life became deranged
Dark clouds with silver linings
Attain the mysteries of shadow and shine

Break loose from the chains
Rise above the waves
Fighting in the darkness
Dancing in the light
Break out of your cage
Turn another page
Drowning in the river
Swim against the tide of life

10. Synergize - Manic Manifest

Rise up from the fire, take back all authority
Let go of all that holds you down
Made up enemies imprison your identity
And soon your soul turns into stone

Start from within
This is the day we begin to break away

(Face the storm and break) Away
(Set the course and) Find your way
(Realize it's time) To change your point of view and rise
Your time has come, synergize now

In the dead of night your heart keeps pounding in your chest
The monster sleeping by your side
Stealing sanity from your manic manifest
There's no place left for you to hide

Start from within
This is the day we begin to break away

(Face the storm and break) Away
(Set the course and) Find your way
(Realize it's time) To change your point of view and rise
Your time has come, synergize now

Revise, arise from the lows
It's time to come out of your cage
Live in shadows
There's nowhere left to hide
Your sorrow, all time is by your side

Revise, arise from the lows
It's time to let go of your rage and rise

Start from within
Feel free of what holds you down
This is the day we begin to break away

(Face the storm and break) Away
(Set the course and) Find your way
(Realize it's time) To change your point of view and rise
Your time has come, synergize now

Don't take all our time for granted
It could all be gone tomorrow
Do not drown your pain in sorrow
Try to live today

Rise, rise from the lows, rise
Rise, rise from below, rise

Light as a feather, all worries gone
My soul yearns to be free
I'm wandering towards the sun
Lost in mourning, my heart is longing
Living in a paradox of synergy

11. Twilight Reverie - The Hypnagogic State

Time is on my side again
Move on forever
As you beam your rays of light
I feel your presence

Without seeing you
I will listen for the sound
Without any clue
I'll have you all around

Wait for the token
A vision or a sign
The ties shall all be broken
When you free yourself from madness

Justify the demons in your mind
When they will show no mercy
Justify the angels by their side
In a twilight rivalry
Defy the laws of humankind
For they will keep you dreaming
Dwell inside a twilight reverie

Life evolves in many ways
Reach on forever
As the answers will emerge
I feel your essence

Without hearing you
And the thousand miles apart
Without any clue
I'll find you in my heart

Wait for the token
A vision or a sign
The tide shall all be broken
When you free yourself from darkness

Justify the demons in your mind
When they will show no mercy
Justify the angels by their side
In a twilight rivalry
Defy the laws of humankind
For they will keep you dreaming
Dwell inside a twilight reverie

The monsters emerged like the light of day
With the pace that they rose, so, too, did they fade

Breathe a conscious breath now
Rest, inhale
Recharge yourself
With pure rapture

Justify the demons in your mind
When they will shout, "No mercy"
Justify the angels by their side
In a twilight reverie

Defy the laws of humankind
For they will keep you dreaming
Seek and find the life tree
Our remedy

12. Omega - Sovereign Of The Sun Spheres

[I. The Omega Point]

Enigmas of the universe
Cannot be known without a search
We will find out that all roads lead to Om
To know the wonder of the soul
We should go with the cosmic flow
Life is a labyrinth
Find your way home

Rise with me
Transcend the shifting maze

Day and night
We hunt for answers hiding deep inside
Dark and light
These are the ends we can't unite
(We can't unite)
Black and white
Will free the way for us to see
That we are dancing in duality

Expose the corners of the mind
To scour edges of the sky
But don't fly higher than you dare to fall
The truth lies buried under dark
Yet souls do rise from cosmic heart
A brush of red and white, celestial art

Rise with me
Before the end of days

Day and night
We hunt for answers hiding deep inside
Dark and light
These are the ends we can't unite
(We can't unite)
Black and white
Will free the way for us to see
That we are dancing in duality

[II. The Hounds of the Barrier]

Ravenous hounds of the barrier
In wait to devour our souls

Defend by force
Do not cross

Don't defy me
Embrace your fears

Higher
Reaching for the sky
Driven by the nature of desire
Craving for more
Ignorance will fertilize the liar
Living on the edge
Guided by the fools that we admire
Just listen to me
Listen to that guide inside of thee

[III. The Apocalypse of the Illuminated Soul]

Primordial force
Sound of the universe

An inner journey to be made
Another ego is at stake
A revelation for the soul tonight

Rise with me
Before the light decays

Day and night
We hunt for answers hiding deep inside
Dark and light
These are the ends we can't unite
(We can't unite)
Black and white
Revere the path we can ascend
And spiral towards oneness in the end

We will last forever
As our essence never dies
Find the deep buried wisdom
As you go on your way
(Go on your way)
Open your senses
(Your senses)
Reach out and you shall receive
