Epica
The Great Tribulation
[Intro: Choir]
Istud malum
Numquam visum
Terra numquam ita laesa est
Mundus miserabilis
Tantus furor non iam oritur
Postquam haec subiimus
[Verse 1: Francesco Paoli, Simone Simons, both]
This is the greatest tribulation
Don't give in to all the fear
It will cause pain and suffering
We can't escape
It's part of our evolution
Do not dwell on elegy
Trust your instinct, it will always guide the way
[Verse 2: Francesco Paoli, Simone Simons, both]
This is the full annihilation
Just give in to our fate
It will destroy all dignity
We can't escape
There will be no absolution
Do not breathe in all the grief
Trust your instinct, it will always guide the way
[Pre-Chorus: Choir]
Laws of time
Dictate our lives
[Chorus: Simone Simons & Choir]
This moment we live in will drive us faster to the arms of solitude
This torment will force us to open up the doors to our awakening
[Post-Chorus: Francesco Paoli]
Spread light
Let that inner force be on your side
Spread light
Trust the path
Our fate put into practice what you got along the way
[Breakdown: Choir]
Tanget omnem iste horror
Creaturam
Contra cladem nos armemus
Te praepara
[Bridge: Simone Simons]
Dancing on ruins in search of more power
But we have forgotten to water the soil that forgives
Let it live
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus: Simone Simons]
The moment we're living reveals our true identity
[Chorus: Simone Simons & Choir]
This moment we live in will drive us faster to the arms of solitude
This torment will force us to open up the doors to our awakening
This moment we live in will drive us faster to the arms of solitude
This torment will force us to open up the doors to our awakening
[Outro: Choir]
Laws of time
Dictate our lives
