[Verse 1]

Can't bạn hear me screaming once again?
(Voice bạn can't hear)
Because bạn are consumed,
And in content; with everlasting greed,
Don't bạn see me on my hands and knees?
(Begging and bleeding)
You're smiling as bạn bite the hand that feeds,
But will bạn ever see?
Always wanting want bạn eyes can't see,
Thinking bạn are in need,
Always hearing what your ears can't hear,
Thinking bạn are incomplete.

[Chorus]

It was never enough that I gave to you,
All of the horror that you've put me through,
How can I make up my mind this time?
This is where I will draw the line.

[Verse 2]

Sacrifice my life to be with...

[Verse 1]

The culprit bạn act before thinking,
Caught in your ignorant sin,
And lying to your own reflection,
bạn thought bạn could hide.

[Chorus]

Deprived of my own innocence denied,
The infinity of recurring torment,
Your comeuppance.

[Verse 2]

See hear the torture inside,
Devouring what was left of my pride,
bạn thought it's not going to happen to you,
Thought that bạn could hide,

Deprived of my own innocence denied,
The infinity of recurring torment,
Your comeuppance,
Dwelling in a mind,
Mixed up and your regret has spread over the sea.


[Verse 3]

Deprived of my own innocence denied,
The infinity of recurring torment,
Your comeuppance,
Dwelling in a mind,
Mixed up and your regret has spread over the sea.
[Verse 1]

(Mark) Comprehensions of your social weakness,
Vented on your countless made up enemies,
I cannot know how bạn feel,
When bạn don't say anything;

[Chorus]

We don't care what bạn say,
We'll never tham gia the games bạn play,
We won't bleed for all your sins,
We never followed your way now so,
We don't care anymore,
How you'll perform your last encore.

[Verse 2]

(Mark) Your misplaced sense of superiority,
The reason of your unbearable form of vanity,
I cannot know how bạn feel,
When bạn don't say anything;

[Chorus Repeat]

[Verse 3]

I cannot know how bạn feel,
When bạn don't say anything,
I cannot know what bạn see,
When bạn don't hiển thị anything.

[Chorus Repeat]
[Verse 1]

(Natural corruption)
Another ngày passed bởi in ruined paradise,
Another night will pass until we're sheltered.
We're aiming for a life that won't be compromised,
And when we say goodbye it's devastating.
Now that we have finally realized.
(Realized, petrified)
That profit's made from innocent demise.

[Verse 2]

Another ngày goes bởi where money won't suffice,
A massive gift was meant as contribution.
Our conscience comes to aid that ends up in wrong hands,
And once the truth's revealed, intent is fading.
Now that we have come to realize,
(Realized, sanctified)
Our hearts subdued bởi all those thousand...

[Opening]

We're in a time where all enterprises fall,
We should beware of the Người sói that hunt us.
They are not all the same, cannot take the blame,
Await the time to unchain utopia.

[Verse 1]

Am I the only one who sees the troubled lines?
Reading illusive writings on the mirror.
Is there a way where that we can all erase mistakes and start anew?
Don't mislead us and stop stabbing with blunt knives.
(Liberty unchained)

[Chorus]

We're in a time where all enterprises fall,
We should beware of the Người sói that hunt us.
They are not all the same, cannot take the blame,
Await the time to unchain utopia.

(Mark) Bow for him,
Bow to the supremacy,
Bow for me,
And live.

[Verse 1]

(Simone) bạn do believe,
So I can say,
That bạn are owned bởi me,
(Mark) Bow for him,
Bow to the supremacy,
Bow for him,
And live,

So let us pray,
For all those fools that be fooled.

[Chorus]

Fool dance with me again,
I am your destiny, mark my words,
Don't bạn ever disagree?
Fool kneel for me again,
I am your agony, walk my away,
I will never set bạn free.

Longing fool,

[Verse 1]

An overactive mind where a thousands thoughts come floating by,
Will not be able to slow down in time.
Don't be afraid live in the now, enjoy simplicity.
Avoid incentives that will make bạn blind.
Don't let it burn bạn down,
Live in the heart.
Experience the now.

[Chorus]

(Choir) To really know yourself,
Ignore your mind and find yourself again.
Life is always challenging.
To really find yourself,
You can't be blind to signals bạn obtain and gain.
Thoughts are slowly changing here.

[Verse 2]

Here in the now if bạn identify with your own heart,
We'll change your các lượt xem and make bạn feel at home.
You're...

[Verse 1]

Everlasting nights leave all các lượt xem behind,
Limits will become less clear and,
A mystery memory laid out in a dream,
This endeavors causing fear.
That's why I can't explain this stabbing pain,
Come undone with nightly rhyming.
It's time for me to roll the dice.
(Absent sanctity, it's shifting gravity)
(Choir) Addiction's growing faster, making bạn go insane.
Ivory fangs are smiling, you'll have to break the habit.
Imprisonment's appraoching, catching the savages,
The mirror's magic hiển thị chemical insomnia.

[Chorus]

(Simone) Don't give in to all of this,
Dive into ecstatic bliss.
Tame the lion...

[Opening]

Declining: all màu sắc fading,
Defining: time coming for me,
Rescinding: my inspiration,
Receding consciousness.

[Verse 1]

Back in the day,
I can recall that,
My thoughts were unclouded and sage,
There was no black staining the walls of my memories,
Now there's a haze pushing me sideways,
And leaving me nothing to gain,
Taking me back,
Locking me in cold and disparity,
Where was I mean to be?
I feel like I'm Mất tích in a dream,
Long for the ngày I can be myself.

[Chorus]

When I'm free,
When my sun has set,
Released my soul forever,
I'll have no regrets,
To being free,
I'll exist again,
No thêm Mất tích endeavors,...

[Verse 1]

Sometimes I feel like my reason is weakening,
My inner clock's forcing time to stand still.
I'm breaching borders between life and sanity,
That's when it all starts to shatter in front of me.
(Liberate me...)

Sometime I feel I'm betraying me memory,
This time it seems that I'm losing the fight.
Finding it hard to become consciously part of life,
That's when awareness and dreams start to separate.
(Unite me...)

[Chorus]

As time goes by, I hide the truth,
Cannot stand myself with a broken shell.
As time goes by, I try to choose,
Don't know where to roam in this private hell.
Give me relief,
Let me believe,...

[Verse 1]

Along the way I find myself,
To be confined within me,
No place where all the others mind to interfere,
To press the meaning of it all,
To overcome my limits,
And dance away from any void and empty tasks,
Just tell me why,
Just tell me how I can survive the storm.

[Verse 2]

Believe yourselves and look away,
From all the thrive within you,
Leave all your worries at the door,
And drift away,
I've tried to appear into the core,
But could not storm the sorrow,
My hollow tim, trái tim has bled me dry,
Left me to stray,
Another time,
Without a chance,
Condemned me wrong,
Send me to Hell for I'm already failing.

[Chorus]...
continue reading...
[Verse 1]

How can we let this happen and,
Just keep our eyes closed till the end,
(Mark) The only thing that counts is the prosperity is today,
Most important to us is that our bills get paid,
Our good intentions will be delayed.

[Chorus]

How can we let this happen,
And just keep our eyes closed till the end,
When we will stand in front of Heaven's gates,
It will be too late.

[Verse 2]

Try to unlearn all that you've learnt
Try to listen to your heart,
No we can't understand the universe,
By just using our mind,
We are so afraid of all the things unknown,
(Mark) A must we appease is the lust to get laid,
Nothing...
continue reading...
[Verse 1]

Living at different places,
Evading into various space,
My compass has broken,
I'm losing the way,
An ongoing madness has led me astray,
My past breathes down my neck,
And it seems now that all I can do is,
Go back to beginnings when all lay ahead,
A fading illusion now plagues me instead.

[Chorus]

In me there's still a place that fulfills me,
A sanctity here that I call home,
I run to when winter descends,
If I try can I find solid ground.

[Verse 2]

I follow elusive paths,
Oh it seems they've been written in stone,
And the door to a new life is closing so fast,
Burning the bridges will not bring me...

[Verse 1]

(See through the veil)
Our perspective on life,
Defines everything we reach.
Most of us will aim for all the certainty.
(Beyond the veil)
Our perspective on death,
Can manifest in many ways,
Some of us stay fearful till the end of days.

[Chorus]

As we believe in what we see.
We all assume that this is real.

[Verse 2]

(Mark) Our experience will just hamper us.
(Choir) Sense without a sanity.
(Mark) We've tried to conceive and intertwine the cycles of life.
(Choir) Cycles of your life.
(Mark) Our knowledge will only hinder us.
(See through the veil)
(Simone) Our perspective on birth,
Defines how we...

[Verse 1]

(Mark) Something is wrong, my strength is gone,
Thoughts are corrupting my mind.
(Simone) When bạn see, I perceive this ain't me.
(Mark) Something so strong, my mood as well,
I can't get it out of my head.
(Simone) I believe that my mind misleads me.

[Chorus]

(We confuse)
Isn't it dull to try to hide?
(Tangle and abuse)
Just have an open look inside.
(We appear)
It's just a dreary memory stuck in your mind.

Retrieve your balance use your senses to observe,
(The essence of silence),
Search for your answers,
Find the silence within you.
(The essence lies...)

[Verse 2]

(Mark) You're searching,
And bursting....

[Opening]

Can't di chuyển and inch,
But for the act to leave fingerprints,
Freedom farewell,
Look in the lens,
Answer the questions,
Are bạn a threat?

[Verse 1]

Nec plus ultra,
(Mark) After all the grabbing,
It's time to bite the dust,
Leave behind the breaches of my trust,
Cleaning up the mess is up to us,
Nec plus ultra.

[Chorus]

Now that all hands are tied,
We're panic stricken,
Wealth out of sight,
Demolition the damaged pride,
The price of ambition.

[Verse 2]

Nec plus ultra,
(Mark) The current system leads,
To profit seeking deeds,
Leave behind the traces of our blood,
Now the course for change is up to us,
Nec plus...

[Verse 1]

(Simone) Memory fading out,
Its presence still lingers in my mind,
(Roy) Listen to your inner voice,
There's no escape there's not other choice,
(Simone) A foolish fate that came about,
Death could not leave without,
Don't try to scour your inane soul,
It would be labors lost.

[Chorus]

(Simone) Deep inside hides a lie,
Where can we try to seek,
A way so this will die.

[Verse 2]

(Simone) Innocence died when they took his mind,
And the tried to leave him behind,
(Roy) Not even a cascade of tears will save you,
And keep bạn away from harm,
(Simone) Concinnity of destiny,
Is not what bạn wished it to be.

[Chorus Repeat]

[Verse 3]

(Simone) Blinded bởi love,
Between lust and hate,
bạn scarred your fate,
There's no time to waste,
(Roy) Ride for your own ruin,
Odium became your opium,
(Simone) Please don't let me bleed,
For all eternity.

[Chorus Repeat]

(Roy) Please leave me be,
In my own misery,
(Simone) La la la la la la la....
[Verse 1]

Deep in the night,
Boundless violence will seethe with the danger,
Our laws collide not allowing another contender,
When the wine drinks itself,
You will burn to a cinder,
We're fighting time awaiting the answers,
I'll never let them stake bạn down
Take bạn down
I'll fight to find a way

[Verse 2]

Is there a way to turn the mind of a barbaric stranger?
Eternal days awaiting for bạn to awake; my avenger,
A cruel fate now condemns us to burn to a cinder,
Are we too late, running on empty?

[Chorus]

I'll never let them stake bạn down,
(Take bạn down)
I'll fight to find a way out there,
It must be hard,...

As one of the band’s most elaborate and grandiose albums, today we have Epica’s highly awaited “Requiem for the Indifferent”. Packing in around 71 phút of âm nhạc in 13 tracks, this release is bởi far the band’s most musically ambitious release to date. While marinating their traditional Gothic/Symphonic Metal approach, Epica manages to incorporate Progressive elements into their already excellent sound, and end up with a release that is as complex as it is long.

In a similar fashion to MaYaN’s “Quarterpast”, this release requires thêm than a few spins before it really starts...
