Epica - 'Beyond The Matrix' (Live at The Symphonic Synergy)
Shine through the sky
Beyond the matrix
Feel what it's like to be divine
Shine through the sky
Beyond the matrix
Feel what it's like
To have attained Nirvana
Shine past the sky open your mind
Then you will be balanced and free
Be the master over your own energy
Live in this moment like there is no past
All that matters is to be who you are
Be in this moment judgments will not last
Urge yourself again to claim back your life
Take a leap into the dark
Dare to dive and fall
The point of no return restrains us
Shine through the sky
Beyond the matrix
Feel what it's like
To reach divinity
Aim at the sky open your mind
Then you will be balanced and free
Be the master over your own energy
Shake off oiled feathers leave your past behind
Use your inner force to reach your true self
When there's no future you can't be occupied
By non-essential waste and ruins of the past
Recreate your hologram
Dare to dive and fall
The point of no return restrain us
Shine through the sky
Beyond the matrix
Feel what it's like
To have attained Nirvana
Shine past the sky open your mind
Then you will be balanced and free
Be the master over your own energy
Someday you'll open up again
To learn and grow
Someday you'll have
To reach for new endeavors
To perceive your inner self
Perceive your soul
Someday you'll start to live your life
Responding with anger
Responding with peace
The choice is all mine
It's a small lie for a man
But a giant blow for manking
We are almighty now
We have found the alchemy of life
We are all dominant here
We are the force in control
Shine through the sky
Beyond the matrix
Feel what it's like
To reach divinity
Aim at the sky open your mind
Then you will be balanced and free
Be the master over your life
Stay in charge maintain your duty
Dive into the sea of pure tranquility
We will be finally free

Full length album νούμερο δέκα για τους Epica. Φέρει τον τίτλο "Aspiral" και κυκλοφόρησε προ μηνός. 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).
Έχουν κυκλοφορήσει δέκα "ολοκληρωμένους" δίσκους, δέκα EPs, έξι live albums και μπόλικα singles. Ως προς το νέο τους πόνημα, υπάρχει σε -δύο από τις εκδόσεις του δίσκου (4CD + blu-ray, 4CD + blu-ray + 2 vinyls)- το live album "The Symphonic Synergy".
