Epica
Divide and Conquer
[Simone Simons]
Divide and conquer
Show no mercy
Defile the honor
Sow discord amongst them all

[Mark Jansen]
Crucify my faith

[Simone Simons]
We’ll set the stage for the last play

[Mark Jansen]
You will not hurt our pride nor break its strength

Stirring up the hate

[Simone Simons]
You’ll fail to practice what you preach

[Mark Jansen]
Wake the force as we
Won’t let you crucify our ways

[Simone Simons]
Abomination
Will enrage them
Manipulation
Is effective after all
[Mark Jansen]
Justify yourself

[Simone Simons]
We cannot speak above our breath

[Mark Jansen]
I read between these vast adorned lines

Justify your acts

[Simone Simons]
The credulous will be our guests

[Mark Jansen]
Wake the force as we
Won’t let you crush our self-respect
Highfalutin weaponry
You dictate your recipe for life

[Chorus: Simone Simons]
Seek the mastermind
The one who’s always right
We’re searching now and endlessly to set us free
Seek the mastermind
There’s no one you will find
We have to find a way to change our destiny
Hate and fear corroded all our hopes and dreams
That’s all we have achieved
Divide and conquer
Spread disease amongst them all

[Mark Jansen]
Desecrate yourself

[Simone Simons]
Yet our duty will prevail

[Mark Jansen]
You will not penetrate through massive shields

Desecrate yourself

[Simone Simons]
We will harvest all we’ve sowed

[Mark Jansen]
Wake the force as we
Won’t let you steal our integrity
Highfalutin weaponry
You dictate your recipe with lies

[Chorus: Simone Simons]
Seek the mastermind
The one who’s always right
We’re searching now and endlessly to set us free
Seek the mastermind (Seek the mastermind)
There’s no one you will find
We have to find a way to change our destiny
Hate and fear corroded all our hopes and dreams
That’s all we have achieved
[Mark Jansen]
Bleed from greed

[Simone Simons]
We’ll succeed in our aim
Force the spirit to its knees
Dominate humanity

[Instrumental Break]

Hold yourself accountable
For the mess around us all
Running blindly for the fall
We are all responsible

[Outro: Simone Simons]
Seek the mastermind
There’s no one you will find
On this quest without an end, eternally
Hate and fear prevented us to reach
What we truly are
Nothing is really as it appears
That’s all we need to be

Abomination
Will enrage them
Manipulation
Is effective
Don’t be merciful
Seize them all
