Epica - 'Arcana' (official music video)

Hear me
I want you to hear me
My cries
See me
As I want you to see me
Alive

Life
It feels eternal when you're close to me
A bird without its wings cannot be free
Your spirit feels a cold embrace that slowly fades
Rise
I see a future bright and crystal clear
Be brave, aim higher and don't disappear
Defy the odds
Into eternity and endlessly

Heal me
I want you to heal me
My heart

And in the dark I see you hiding from the light
Your destiny there writtеn in the stars until the end of timе

Heal me
I want you to heal me
My heart
See me
As I want you to see me
Alive

Breathe (breathe) And through the pain and tears we truly feel
You'll find a way through chaos and all fear
No soul denies a symmetry that's meant to be
Fly (fly)
Your wings will catch the wind and set you free
Cast off the weight and dreams will reappear
A king and queen
Ride on eternally forever free

Free me
I long to be free

And in the dark I see you hiding from the light
Your destiny there written in the stars until the end of time

Hear me
I want you to hear me
My cries
See me
As I want you to heal me
To be alive

Step in the light, your heart is fighting for your life
We resonate, a dueled fate lives deep within the grand design

See me
I want you to see me
Hear me
As I want you to hear me
Free me (See)
I want you to free me (It's my time to rise from the debris)
Heal me (Break)
As I want you to heal me (All the chains on me)
See me (Breathe)
I want you to see me (And release the toxic energy)
Hear me (Find)
As I want you to hear me (Your serenity)
Be alive

Full length album Νούμερο δέκα για τους Epica. Φέρει τον τίτλο "Aspiral" και έχει προγραμματισθεί να κυκλοφορήσει στην "καρδιά" της άνοιξης. Οι Epica "υπάρχουν" στο μουσικό σύμπαν από τις αρχές της χιλιετίας.

Σχηματίσθηκαν από τον Mark Jansen το 2002 όταν αποχώρησε από τους After Forever. Αρχικά (για έναν χρόνο) ως Sahara Dust (με την Helena Iren Michaelsen στα φωνητικά) και στην συνέχεια ως Epica. Το όνομα της μπάντας είναι εμπνευσμένο από τον σχετικό δίσκο των Kamelot ("Epica", Ιανουάριος 2003).

Έχουν κυκλοφορήσει εννέα "ολοκληρωμένους" δίσκους (με πλέον πρόσφατο το album "Omega" που "βγήκε" προ τετραετίας), δέκα EPs, έξι live albums και μπόλικα singles...
