Epica
Wake the World
[Verse 1: Simone Simons]
Outside the world
Turning to dust
Our hearts are longing
To heal the wounds, a new age is dawning (dawning)
If I could see
Not only hear
The voice of music
Could that awareness
Save our souls from echoed tragedies?

[Pre-Chorus]
Can we cure our pain with harmony?
(You are never gonna change your world)
Ride the waves, for human eyes remain to see, blindly
(You are vulnerable)
Will we paint the sky in symphony?
(Music cannot redeem)
Can our music heal the world?

[Chorus: Simone Simons & Tommy Karevik]
The time will come
Turn dreams into melodies
By bringing our hearts together
A simple tune, a song
To wake the world
And light the way
Forever (forever)
[Post-Chorus]
And I know

[Verse 2: Tommy Karevik]
No time to waste
No time for change
No more tomorrow
All that we see is born from sorrow (sorrow)
Is this a dream?
Not sure what's real
The world is crying
A seed within begins to bloom into a symphony

[Pre-Chorus]
Can our music triumph over tragedy?
(You are never gonna live your dreams)
Clear the dissonance so that we finally, will see
(You are durable)
Can our music heal the world?

[Chorus: Simone Simons & Tommy Karevik]
The time will come
Turn dreams into melodies
By bringing our hearts together
A simple tune, a song
To wake the world
And light the way
[Organ / Guitar Solo]

[Chorus: Simone Simons & Tommy Karevik]
The time will come
Turn dreams into melodies
By bringing our hearts together
A simple tune, a song
To wake the world
A guiding flame
The time has come
Turn dreams into melodies
(Dreams into melodies)
By bringing our hearts together
A simple tune, a song
(The music in my mind)
(The music's here)
To wake the world
And light the way
Forever
