Epica
The Holographic Principle (A Profound Understanding of Reality)
[Intro: Choir]
Discemus gubernaculum esse movendum
Quod verum Putaveram esse particulam
Pro viribus agendum est
Vim totam adhibebimus
Ad haec nos paremus

[Simone Simons]
Our brave soul is crying
Our soul is lost

We don’t know how we can (Our brave soul)
Decode this anagram
We have lost our true selves (Is dying)
Within this hologram
Nothing is what it seems
Our soul is lost

We challenge illusions
Created by us all

[Mark Jansen]
Cube the Sphere
Wipe all the dust from your eyes
Burn your lies
Dare to trash your own paradise
Doubt your eyes
[Simone Simons]
We challenge illusions
Created by us all

Learn to trust your senses deep within
And see with all the beauty of your soul
Shine down all your precious light on me
I’ll wake you in reality again

[Mark Jansen]
Be free of fear
Open up your heart, make a whole new start
Free from the past
Your future is convertible
Now embrace the holographic principle

[Simone Simons]
Only you is what you’ll be
All you are is what you see
On the other side it’s me
If you turn around
You’ll see I am here

Only you is what you’ll be
Now break out and we’ll be free
Leave dubiety behind, dive into eternal light
[Simone Simons]
Merge with all the energy around
Immerse yourself in seas of futile wishes
Do not try to judge your universe
Let purity reverse your sacred curse

[Mark Jansen]
Be free of fear
Open up your heart, make a whole new start
Free from the past
Your demons seem invincible
Now embrace the holographic principle

[Simone Simons]
Only you is what you’ll be
All you are is what you see
On the other side it’s me
If you turn around
You’ll see I am here

Only you is what you’ll be
Now break out and we’ll be free
Leave dubiety behind and dive in eternal light

[Mark Jansen]
You become what you focus on
Don’t shift the blame to the world
It will raise vexation
It can cause your death and our defeat
[Simone Simons]
Run from illusions
Reality is a choice
Be sure to choose well
Run from delusions
Go to the root, find out who you are

[Mark Jansen]
You become what you’re aiming at
Don’t shift the blame to the world
It will raise resentment
Check your ego, lose your hologram

Your illusion
Feeds your eyes
This deception
Writes your life
Your truth’s a lie

[Simone Simons]
Watch for illusions
Rapacity, an empty shell
That suits no one well
Watch for delusions
Let life just rain all it’s sparks on you

Venemun invasit sanguinem et venas
Iniectum damnosis cogitates tuis
Non morbum transferunt in te res humanae
Sed pavor internus te infirmat prorsus

[Mark Jansen]
Your illusion
Lies in ruins
This deception
Won’t survive
Take back control

[Outro: Choir]
Discemus gubernaculum esse movendum
Ad haec nos paremus tota vi
Discemus gubernaculum esse movendum
Quod verum putaveram esse particulam
Pro vibirus agendum est
Vim totam adhibebimus!
