Epica: Unleashed

Music Video Time!
 

 
Lyrics:
Declining
All color fading.
Defining
Time coming for me.
Rescinding
My inspiration.
Receding consciousness.

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 cold in disparity.

Where was I meant to be?
I feel I’m lost in a dream.
Long for the day I can be myself.

When I’m free,
When my sun has set,
Released my soul forever,
I’ll have no regret
To be free.
I’ll exist again.
No more lost endeavors.
Nothing to contend
When I’m free.

Color declines all that defines me
Is falling away, far behind.
Nothing to keep me with the time,
The here and now.

Where am I meant to be?
I feel I’m lost in a dream,
Yearning again only to be myself.

When I’m free,
When my sun has set,
Released my soul forever,
I’ll have no regret
To be free.
I’ll exist again.
No more lost endeavors.
Nothing to contend
When I’m free.

– (Cure me, free me, help me, see me
– No more worry, no more losing)

Time is just a concept
– (Save me, near me, help me, hear me.)
And always the first thing to fade.
– (No more heartache, no misery.)
Agony and weakness,
– (Cure me, free me, help me, see me.)
Nothing we can never evade.
– (No more worry, no agony.)

Years are cruel, they break us,
– (Save me, near me, help me, hear me.)
Bringing on decay and despair, (we despair)
– (No more heartache, no despairing.)
Awareness and perception.
– (Cure me, free me, help me, see me.)
Something we can never repair. (No repair)
– (No more worry, no repairing.)

Freedom for me is all I’m really wanting, needing.
Give me power to break out,
I can’t hold on for any longer.
My time has come to end it all.

No one to blame,
Fate’s only random.
It’s nothing we’ll ever explain.
So it remains.

Where was I meant to be?
I feel I’m lost in a dream
Long for the day I can be myself…
(Free…)
When will I be unleashed?
It’s not the way it should be,
Yearning again only to be myself.

(Unleash my consciousness!)

When I’m free,
When my sun has set,
Released my soul forever,
I’ll have no regret
To be free.
I’ll exist again.
No more lost endeavors.
Nothing to contend
When I’m free.

Storm the Sorrow

Along the way I find myself
To be confined within me
My 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

The storm is wild
The storm is high
I can’t survive the storm


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 heart has bled me dry, left me to stray

Another time
Without a chance
Condemned me wrong
Send me to heaven

Intertwine the lines
And swim beneath the dark
Realize the pain we’re living
Dreamer as it need reweaving
In the memories of the deep enough to know
Centuries of dreams unending
Another way of you led tears when someone had betrayed

No time to ever go to waste
It’s not that complicated
You’re free to live your life at ease
No more restrain

No heat for shadows on your way
That try to steal your laughter
Your lights will drive them all away
Be confident

Will I refrain
Can I repent
Will you be there
Your eyes have paced
Where I’m alone in ire

Intertwine the lines
And swim beneath the dark
Realize the pain we’re living
Dreamer as it need reweaving


In the memories of the deep enough to know
Centuries of dreams unending
Another way of you led tears when someone had betrayed

Deep Water Horizon

Artist: Epica
Album: Requiem for the Indifferent
Song: Deep Water Horizon


There’s the feeling once again
The day where black and white began
Await the ending of our everlasting violence
We’ve all been healing from the pain
From all the misery and constraint
We’re inhaling fumes again
So don’t deny it

Storm the Sorrow

Just before I go to bed, I bring you one more Epica verse.

Album: Requiem For the Indifferent
Song: Storm the Sorrow

Intertwine the lines
That swim beneath the dark
Realize the pain we live in
Demonize the need we reel in

In my memories I’ll dig deep enough to know
Centuries of dreams unending
Another me that yielded the tears
When someone had betrayed

Lyric Time!

I’m going to post a new poem later today but until then, here’s a verse from Epica’s song “Monopoly on Truth” from the album “Requiem for the Indifferent”

“Can we trust all the facts
And believe that the fancied wise are just and needed?
Do we want to rely on the views
Of the righteous ones who are succeeding?
You look all around and you see
All the things that are not meant to be
Then you know it’s time to let them go”
