Anyone who is a symphonic metal fan who hears this song would know that it's an Epica track and I love that - it's classic Epica and that's why it's one of my favorites from their new album. It's perfect for me especially from 3:08 and on. I rewind to that spot and play it over and over again.. I can't get enough.
It's funny, because it's classic Epica, yet, it''s very new, it's not anything they've done before, and that's one thing I really love about this band, plus the fact that the lyrics actually MEAN something.
Have a great day!
Yeah, thats one of my fave bits of Epica. I try to sing along! I Fail!
I have rewound it 36 times now
wow! I'm impressed by the message of this song.
"We won't succumb to your delusion now" + "Conquer the insane. United we stand tall"
Ya
3:56 the most beautiful thing I've ever heard
2020 the musical
Best summary xD
Spot on! 😂
Best version of the virus !
omg... you were almost right...lol
@White Rider wft. No, dude. No. Sort yourself out.
The Operatic quality of her voice is simply stunning! I've only recently come across EPICA and Nightwish, but their music is wonderfully diverse and beautiful.
You bet. When I first discovered Nightwish and Epica it was like being open to a whole new dimension of music.
I just discovered Epica about a Month Ago, I just heard the entire Quantum Enigma album last Night..... And I don't care what anyone says! What I just heard was a Masterpiece! In song Writing, Composition and Arrangement.... True Work of Art! I cannot wait to Dive into The Holographic Principal Next 😅🤘❤️
Holographic principle won a shit ton of awards and takes alot of classical music and makes abstract versions of it 🥰 bad ass albums
God exists, because we have such a beautiful thing as symphonic metal
This is one of the greatest songs I have heard in quite some time. It is the definition of why I love symphonic metal. The vocals are fantastic, the choir elements give me chills, the lyrics actually mean something, and it is just all around amazing. I just can't get enough of it since I bought it in july. It is so much fun to sing along to, I love testing the range of my own voice.
What do the lyrics mean? They don't mean anything it all, it's just those songs that pretend to have a deep message when infact it doesn't, literally nothing here makes sense.
@@shafaet1194 Don't be so slow witted. If you take your time to analyze every. single. lyric you will understand. That's the point of it all. It's not just music. It's poetry that apparently not all can comprehend.
@@shafaet1194 This one I don't understand. Freedom - The Wolves Within, and Storm the Sorrow both made sense to me though.
@@andreea6714 Then tell me what poetry this music contains, don't just throw around statements like that without any analogy from your part lmao.
@@shafaet1194 my modest and very personal interpretation (sorry for my BAD english): what is written in the text seem the point of view of the angels who rebelled against God in Eden, for example the "deceptive games" or the "illusory writings" saided as accusations/sarcasmic criticism are the biblical prophecies (indeed difficult to interpret). When the text refers to "your delusion" (while the video shows the sun with his rays through the clouds...) seem to talk about the "disappointment of God" to the rebellion of his spiritual suns and the first human couple,
and his stance against them (while this "rebellious angels" claim that they will not succumb to it). "Why we should believe you carring you own burden" seem referred to the promises from god (eternal life, happiness etc), and the "burden" that he's carrying is the sacrifice of his first sun, Jesus. As for the time waiting for this "unchained utopia" seem refer about the god's kingdom (an utopian paradise, indeed) that will comes after he unleashes his war in Armagedon. PS: There are several texts of the epica which seem to have taken lot of inspiration from the biblical scriptures and often seen from the same point of view: the song of rebellion against God. Now you can laugh 😁, but honestly it seem pretty clear too me
because in the past I've studied the bible
and because the epica seem set against religion by default
This album is so UNDERRATED! This should be winning Grammy, not the shit that's been getting awards these days!
according to you, this album is awesome
grammy's are a shitty price for shitty music. Épica is way over that.
While I do agree with you that the album is underrated (It is super in my opinion) Design your universe is still the best for me :D
epica is shit
then dont watch it ?!
can`t stop listening to Epica!! love this band!!
Why the hell is this so underrated? The music is beautiful, aswell as her voice. The lyrics are great
True Bro True, Tarja is the Queen, but this shit is the Queen II - trust me, i like Taja as F. But this voice is also amazing! This is the next Nightwish for 2025+
@@DaScorp nightwish nunca estará a la altura de PICA
cause you cant twerk with this
Perhaps it could be due to the semantical mistake when instead of "We're in a time WHEN..." It says: "We're in a time WHERE."
Since time is not a place. It's an immaterial and abstract concept.
Because it says the truth.
The beautiful thing about this song is how all the lyrics are engineered from verse 1 to lead to the double rhyme `ball and chain' at the very end.
The ending gives me chills every time.
Me too and tears of joy.
Epica is from another world. Thanks to life for this Amazing band 🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼!!
For me, the most exciting part: 2:02
"It's afflicted by a virus of the brain...Liberty unchained, recite the insane"
That choir gives me goosebumps all over my body.
Virus of the brain, liberty unchained, recite the insane, ball and chain...damn every section is linked by that rhym
the TIME TO FREE OURSELVES sends shivers down my spine every time.
I just love Epica's newest album. I've listened to it over a dozen times and I still can't get enough of it.
Same here! Since it got out, I listen to it at least once a day, and I still do, which is quite amazing, knowing that listening to the same songs over and over can get boring, but this album is so amazing I can't get enough. :D
I've only been listening to The Quantum Enigma the last couple of days. This is one of my favourite songs and has been since it came out!
Symphonic metal's my new genre
Always getting goosebumps when Simone starts singing in this song...does not matter how often I listen to this
I loved this album and cannot wait for the new album they are working on.
this is my favorite song of Epica's. Simone has the voice of an angel and these words are so powerful.
Just amazing,!
Love this song,Epica still the best band in the symphonic metal.
Una de las mejores canciones de The Quantum Enigma.. ni hablar hecha en vivo.. es genial la letra y la cancion.. en pleno desenlace te hace sentir de todo.. genial!
It´s a fantastic and wonderful theme, virtuously interpreted. And Simon´s voice is amazing. Her voice is divine-angelic sound.
Simone is the greatest vocalist in the world, I love her.
Her tone, her emotion is amazing. Such a stunning voice
totally agree!!!
Sharon from within temptation too
end of the song woow mixing between the voice of the singer and the coral group wooow
Definitely out of my "genre comfort zone" here, but I think I can definitely get into this!
Haha, that what I thought at first too when I started listening to symphonic metal
Oh yes, back to 3 years ago when I first discovered Within Temptation and was blown away, a bit averse to how heavy it was, but still magically drawn back to symphonic metal. And I love all the major bands now.
Mikhail Cazi Within Temptation was my first too
charlatan Same!
Awesome lyrics, awesome voice and awesome music!! Epica's still at the TOP!!
*THIS SONG IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND EPIC, I LOVE IT!*
The best thing about Epica is their lyrics ... wow :)
I am so glad that they made a lyric video for this song. I see the lyrics as a powerful message for peace in the world, which is utopia. It only emphases the issues of the world and governmental system currently
I'm glad Epica's latest videos put so much emphasis on lyrics. I was blown away by this one - the visual effects and scenes make a great union together with the text. The message is astonishing!
This song is incredible, one of their best for me!
Wonderful... magnificent... and after having listened it live... even BETTER!
Não sei se chamo de música ou de obra de arte!!! Essa música é sensacional!!!
We’re in a time where all Enterprises fall

Are you kidding? Epica can be really heavy, listen to Design Your Universe or The Divine Conspiracy.
Excellent!
This is my fav song from the album
This is One Great Example of why Epica is a Perfect Band. Thanks to Epica for being an important part of my inspiration in the music and a part of my very soul ^^ (Epica, Kamelot, Nightwish, and others are the reason why I started to Play Piano). Those Lyrics and that Constructions can rise a Dragon of flames in the soul ^^
Very good song.I love EPICA so much!
I took a break from Epica and......holy shit they are sooo good
yep! I will never take a break off them :)
Ah, another h3h3 fan. HELLO!
Catherine McClain Papa Bless :D
SpoonMan Whose fupa is better: DJ Kaled's or Ethan's?
Well, Dj Kaled has the biggest fupa but Ethan definitely has THE BEST body. Do you agree?
These Lyrics are so actual !! they reval the great conspiracy !
3:55 O nasıl bir giriş ya.. Sese bak be, çok iyi..
God man this band always moves my soul, puts me in a trance, puts me under its spell!! \m/

Agree.This band is awesome! Besides Ancient Bards, there no other symphonic metal band that can compare with this band. I love this band.
4:45 minutes of pure beauty ♥ Love this song ♥
Perfect music perfect lyrics.
I have an interpretation of this song that is quite different from what most people seem to understand of it. I think this song is not about "oh, how great it would be if that utopia could come to be". Instead I think it is a subtle jab at people who believe in such things. The lyrics at the end don't make much sense if you take them as attacks to the current system (except religion, but since it has not much to do with this song, I don't think it's about that). The lyrics are "Why should we believe you? We won't succumb to your delusions[...] Why should we believe you? We won't succumb to your decieving". I think the voice(s) speaking througout most of the song represent the followers of a new utopia, that is, like the others, bound to fail (giving the "We live in a time where all enterpises fall" an ironic echo) and led by a delusional if not outright manipulative leader (giving yet another ironic echo, this time to "We should beware of the wolves that haunt us"). It makes the song a bit more subtle.
NoJustShutTheFuckUp After reading your comment, lyrics starts to make much more sense, thanks! Seems to be a pro-trolling from Epica.
Yep. I think it is about criticising the capitalist utopia the western world is trying to create, exemplified by the imagery of Simone on the chariot with what looks like Wall Street workers (economists at least) pulling it, representing the change in power perhaps that is required in the dystopian world.
There is so much confusing imagery. Perhaps I am mixing it with that from Disturbed's rendition of Land of Confusion. You should check it out; you may like it. :)
LuiKang043 Not capitalism necessarily, but just those in a position of power in general that would have the masses believe something that they shouldn't. Capitalism works, but it like everything else has the potential to have corruption. No system is perfect, in the end.
I agree with you. 'Liberty Unchained. Recite the insane.' Seems like a jab at people who believe in anarchy, when other people recite their ideology like brainless people. 'Does it make sense to mend the cracks you hide behind our backs?' seems like a jab at people who peddle their version of Utopia while hiding their ideological flaws. 'They are not all the same, cannot take the blame' sounds like how certain ideologies will deflect critisizm with straw man arguments. The best strawman of all being 'intersectionalism.' Arguing against that is like trying to argue against a medusa.
Agree.
This song fuels my soul
REAL MUSIC
This video looks fantastic. Props to whoever edited it. Takes a lot of creativity.
Amazing bravooooo
This is the best lyric video i've seen, love the creativity of it.
this video deserves much more views
Going to see them live here in Tegucigalpa, Honduras in May. Really excited.
Love it!
Beautiful master piece. I got same feeling while listening Wintersun. Even though different music. Well, anyhow, would dream to see Epica and Jari Maenpaa together for one song. Probably would be too epic for my heart.
Amazing , Awesome !
Tudo perfeito, adorei
Anyone else who is in *LOVE* with the music at 0:25!?!?
Mikhail Cazi I especially love the part between 0:00 - 4:45
Mikhail Cazi Theres only one thing that i'am in love with, and its a COCO! IAM IN LOVE WITH A COCO! BAKIN SODA!
+Mikhail Cazi too much violin is annoying
I'm in love with the whole thing!
Woooooow!!!! Epica ♥ Awesome
Crazy good!
Super utwór. Super video. Epica rządzi.
This is the masterpiece that must be called the Magic.
