Epica - 'Fight to Survive' (official lyric video)

We set out to explore the moon
And instead discovered the Earth
Takeoff in three, two, one
Go!

Within a heart of joy grow possibilities
To transcend inflicted boundaries
We will have to move beyond
All fears that do pull us down
I try to understand why I can't see it all
While I navigate through outer space
I hope we survive the fall
We'll need to unite them all

Does peace exist in chaos?
Do hearts believe that fate is on our side?
Are we unified?

The fire burns and purifies
Designed to unify
Our spirit is alive
We all fight to survive

I will fight to survive

We must navigate through this complexity
While we search for our stability
We'll have to endure it all
To find that we're powerful
I try to understand, but I can't see it all
While surrounded by this emptiness
I bear all the weight of life
Walking on fragile sheets of ice

Find stillness in the chaos
Our hearts should trust that we can turn the tide
We are unified

The fire burns and purifies
Designed to unify
Our spirit is alive
We all fight to survive

I will fight to survive
Let us turn the tide
We are unified

I am, because we are

Unified

In every moment we will find
Signs of the divine
In every heartbeat lies a story
Shine just as we are
Be just as we are
One on this journey
Our integrity is our great strength

The fire burns and purifies
Designed to unify
We are alive
Refine the art of our life
Designed to unify
Our spirit is alive
We all fight to survive

I will fight to survive
Let us unify
We are one and alive
Let us turn the tide
We are ready to
Fight

Full length album νούμερο δέκα για τους Epica. Φέρει τον τίτλο "Aspiral" και κυκλοφόρησε στην "καρδιά" της άνοιξης. 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".
