Epica
Resign to Surrender (”A New Age Dawns - Part IV”)
[Intro]
Can't move an inch
But for the act to
Leave fingerprints
Freedom farewell!
Look in the lens
Answer the questions
Are you a threat?

Nec plus ultra

[Verse 1: Mark Jansen]
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

Non plus ultra

[Chorus 1: Simone Simons]
Now that all hands are tied
We're panic stricken
Wealth out of sight
Demolition, the damaged pride
The price of ambition

Nec plus ultra
[Verse 2: Mark Jansen]
The current system leads to profit seeking deeds
Leave behind the traces of our blood
Now the course for change is up to us

Non plus ultra

[Chorus 1: Simone Simons]
Now that all hands are tied
We're panic stricken
Wealth out of sight
Demolition, the damaged pride
The price of ambition

[Chorus 2]
Access is now denied
We're panic stricken
Wealth out of sight
Intuition, forgotten guide
The price of suppression

Terre eos vi
Augearis
Perde eos vi
Nobis imperium
Can't move an inch
But for the act to
Leave fingerprints
Freedom farewell!
Look in the lens
Answer the questions
Will you behave as required?

When we think the end is here
With nearly all faith gone
There is hope along the way
And there a new age dawns

"None are more hopelessly enslaved than those
Who falsely believe that they are free."

Nobis victoria
Non plus ultra

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

Access is now denied
We're panic stricken
Wealth out of sight
Intuition, forgotten guide
The price of suppression
Can't move an inch
But for the act to
Leave fingerprints
Freedom Farewell!
Look in the lens
Answer the questions
Will you behave as required?

When we think the end is here
With nearly all faith gone
There is hope along the way
And there a new age dawns

When we think the end is here
And our faith will disappear
When we think the end is here
And our faith will disappear

"Chasing our addictions we're stunting our growth
Once we get rid of this ballast, we'll be able to
Restore the balance and distribute our wealth."
