Epica - 'The Phantom Agony' (official live video)
I. Impasse Of Thoughts
I can't see you,
I can't hear you.
Do you still exist?
I can't feel you,
I can't touch you.
Do you exist?
The Phantom Agony!
I can't taste you,
I can't think of you.
Do we exist at all?
II. Between Hope & Despair
The future doesn't pass,
and the past won't,
overtake the present.
All that remains is,
an obsolete illusion.
We are afraid,
of all the things,
that could not be.
A phantom agony!
Do we dream at night,
or do we share,
the same old fantasy?
I am a silhouette of the person,
wandering in my dreams.
We are afraid,
of all the things,
that could not be.
A phantom agony!
Tears of unprecedented beauty,
reveal the truth of existence.
We're all sadists!
The age-old development,
of consciousness.
Drives us away,
from the essence of life.
We meditate too much,
so that our instincts will fade away.
They fade away!
What's the point of life,
and what's the meaning,
if we all die in the end?
Does it make sense to learn,
or do we forget everything?
We are afraid,
of all the things,
that could not be.
A phantom agony!
Tears of unprecedented beauty,
reveal the truth of existence.
We're all pessimists!
The age-old development,
of consciousness.
Drives us away,
from the essence of life.
We meditate too much,
so that our instincts will fade away.
They fade away!
Teach me how to see,
and free the disbelief in me.
What we get is what we see,
the Phantom Agony.
A te spiritus noster,
devoratur et nostra anima capitur!
III. Nevermore
(Instrumental)
The lucidity of my mind,
has been revealed in new dreams.
I am able to travel where my heart goes,
in search of self-realization.
This is the way to escape,
from our agitation,
and develop ourselves.
Use your illusion,
and enter my dream...

Στα πρώτα χρόνια της καριέρας τους μας γυρίζουν οι Epica με την συλλογή "We Still Take You with Us - The Early Years", η οποία κυκλοφόρησε προ ημερών (2 Σεπτεμβρίου 2022) σε τρεις εκδόσεις: CD, CD+blu-ray+DVD Earbook και Vinyl (Exclusive Limited LP Box). Η συλλογή περιλαμβάνει τους δίσκους που κυκλοφόρησε η μπάντα από το 2003 έως το 2005, δηλαδή:
1. The Phantom Agony (full length)
2. We Will Take You With Us (live album)
3. Consign to Oblivion (full length)
4. The Score - An Epic Journey (full length)
Παρακολουθούμε το βίντεο με την "ζωντανή" απόδοση του μουσικού κομματιού "The Phantom Agony", για την οποία η μπάντα μας λέει:
Οι Epica "υπάρχουν" στο μουσικό σύμπαν από τις αρχές της χιλιετίας. Σχηματίσθηκαν από τον Mark Jansen το 2002 όταν αποχώρησε από τους After Forever. Αρχικά (για έναν χρόνο) ως Sahara Dust (με την Helena Iren Michaelsen στα φωνητικά) και στην συνέχεια ως Epica. Το όνομα της μπάντας είναι εμπνευσμένο από τον σχετικό δίσκο των Kamelot ("Epica", Ιανουάριος 2003)...
«The performance was Epica's first-ever major TV appearance and hasn't been available physically since 2007. It is available as a part of 'We Still Take You With Us' (out now), which bundles it together with their legendary (and never released) live performance 'Live at Paradiso,' as well as their first three albums: 'The Phantom Agony,' 'Consign To Oblivion' and 'The Score.'»
