    Here's the lyrics!! 😍
    We're blind and eager
    Avarice will set us back to blank
    Those who wager all will have to name a reason
    (If you can't let go)
    You will end up empty handed
    (If you can't control)
    You'll live your life in vain
    Who decides about my time to come?
    Who is able to break through the circle of life and doom?
    Don't look back
    Keep on track to break the curse
    Take the chance
    Design your universe
    We can't undo what we have done
    So show us now what we've become
    Confront us with our viciousness
    And our weakness
    We can't evade our destiny
    So show responsibility
    For we all surely have a sense
    Of our consciousness
    To take for taking's sake
    Will leave a path of loss and strain
    And endless breaking of faith can warrant acts of treason
    (If you can't let go)
    You will end up empty handed
    (If you can't control)
    You'll live your life in vain
    Who decides about what's true or false?
    Who is able to sift through the treasures from the flukes?
    Don't look back
    Keep on track to break the curse
    Take the chance
    Design your universe
    We can't undo what we have done
    So show us now what we've become
    Confront us with our viciousness
    And our weakness
    We can't evade our destiny
    So show responsibility
    For we all surely have a sense
    Of our consciousness
    The time has come
    We have to see
    That total wisdom is in reach
    The time has come to colour in the lines
    We must identify the signs
    So many people are full of hate
    While love and light are in their reach
    So many people will harm themselves
    But life can be so beautiful
    So many people will idolise
    While their own success is in their reach
    Don't forget you're able to
    Design your own universe
    Find your balance
    Sink into rumination
    Ipsum te reperies
    Potire mundorum
    Potire omnis mundi
    We can't undo what we have done
    So show us now what we've become
    Confront us with our viciousness
    And our weakness
    We can't evade our destiny
    So show responsibility
    For we all surely have a sense
    Of our consciousness
    Can't undo
    Show us now
    Confront us
    We're the weakness
    Can't evade
    Show us how
    We have our sense

    Simone's voice is mesmerizing in this song. Can you believe this was at the end of a 3-hour concert she did pregnant?
    Massive respect. The whole band and orchestra are great as well of course
    BTW this was also the following song after Sancta Terra
    I suggest to continue with songs from this show, won't be disappointed
    Chasing the Dragon for instance

    Finally one of my favourite reactors reacts to my favourite band! Your a soulful person, Epica will fit like a glove! They are spiritual, they have songs that are like white magic rituals. Lyrics are deep, often have concepts from both spiritual and occult traditions as well as just common sense and folk wisdom. The kind of band the world needs in 2021. Regarding the growling, Mark often says some hard truths, then Simone will soften the blow. It's like a masculine and a feminine take on the same message. Recommendation: Kingdom of Heaven part 1, the live one with lyrics from Mexico.

    Probably my favourite song by this band, which is saying something given their amazing library of tracks, this song embodies symphonic metal, this is the stunning outcome of meshing this incredible array of instruments, vocals and sounds into a single unified whole which is exponentially greater than the individual, already incredible, parts.

  • @parrotheadlasvegas
    @parrotheadlasvegas 2 роки тому +4

    This song along with Reverence (Living in the Heart), Storm the Sorrow, and a few of their other tracks have been part of what's gotten me through some seriously dark times. If you don't mind likely crying your eyes out, go listen to the album version (I don't know of many really good quality live recordings) of both Tides of Time and Feint. My dearest friend from high school passed away in her sleep at 40 years old a couple of years ago and those two helped immensely even if they still make me cry every single time.
    Thanks for a great video and have a fabulous weekend!

    I discovered Epica in early COVID lockdown, and the "We can't evade our destiny" and "show responsibility" lines hit hard at that time
    Thanks for the reaction, if you want more Epica growling go for Consign to Oblivion (Live Zenith) or more heartfelt Rivers (visualiser) from the new album or Tides of Time (tissues may be required for that)

    Oh wow, I haven't listened to this one in a long time! A lot of their newer material is written from the quantum perspective of the universe. Their albums "The Holographic Principle" and "The Quantum Enigma" are perfect examples of that. My personal favorite song of theirs is from THP and it's called "Beyond The Matrix". It embodies a lot of my own personal beliefs about life and the universe. 💜🙏✨

    Hi Sabina,
    I’m sure you will also like “Chasing the Dragon” from the same concert.
    It is almost (but not quite) a ballad. As the song moves forward, it allows Simone to go through her different registers and really allows her to shine. It is not as bombastic as “Design your Universe”, but it is very beautiful

    In case you don’t know the expression “chasing the dragon”, you will find the explanation here:

    Epica is amazing, but there are more great Dutch metalbands. You should definitly check out "Dear Mother" With their debut album "Bulletproof". They are a new dutch metalband formed by ex-Delain guitarist Merel Bechtold and ex-Delain drummer Joey de Boer. They teamed up with David "Pear" Hruska as their vocalist. Its realy worthwhile!
    I recently found them and bought the album right away, they're incredible!
