Epica - Kingdom of Heaven: A New Age Dawns - Part V

This has been sitting in my drafts for eons. Since today happens to be a (Lyric) Friday and I had another little thing to share, I’ll put this out there too. But do check out the other thing!

Design Your Universe – Track 6

Kingdom of Heaven

“A New Age Dawns” Part V

[I. Hold In Derision]

Pioneering, big breakthroughs

Proceeded by the opposition.

Hold in derision all that’s new,

Afraid to lose their own esteem.

Scorn shall be directed at the genius,

Represses subtle theories of the light

To the questions of life.

Quantum physics lead us to

Answers to the great taboos.

We create the world around us

God is every living soul.

Science, spirituality

Will have to meet along the way and

We need new drifts, another view

Expand our grip on the cryptic soul.

Scorn shall be directed at the genius,

Represses subtle theories of the light

To the questions of life.

Quantum physics lead us to

Answers to the great taboos.

We create the world around us.

God is every living soul.

Hope is more than a postponed disappointment.

Non intellegens nil explicas.

Videre nolens nil capies.

Non intellegens nil explicas.

Incognita non vides.

[Lacking understanding, you explain nothing.
Unwilling to see, you will grasp nothing.
Lacking understanding, you explain nothing.
You do not see the unknown.]

Open your Sahasrara

[II. Children Of The Light]

Light creates us all.

Pride will make us fall.

Life is meaningful.

Life delights us all.

Light creates us all.

Pride divides us all.

Life is meaningful.

The soul survives us all.

Misled by science.

Our wake up call.

Conditioning cannot fool us till the end.

Light creates us all.

Pride will make us fall.

Life is meaningful.

Life delights us all.

Light creates us all.

Pride divides us all.

Life is meaningful.

The soul survives us all.

[III. Bardo Thödol]

Guide us safely through the gates of death.

[IV. Paragons Of Perfection]

Nothing here will be the same,

I'll see the world through different eyes and

I was given clarity

And the wisdom I can't deny.

All that we can ever see

Until we leave this frail existence

Is just a shadow of reality.

Death is not the final instance.

It's not your time

You have to go back... back!

Now!

No, no, I don’t want to return,

Please let me stay here, don’t make me go back!

Go back, you’ve got work to do.

We’re not alone, we are all one.

Nothing here will be the same.

The smallest bit is as big as nature.

Our limited capacities

Gives us trouble to comprehend

We are linked in every way

And we’re strong as our weakest fragment.

Every word that we convey

Is an act with consequences.

[V. The Harsh Return]

Misled by science.

Our wake up call.

Conditioning cannot fool us till the end.

Light creates us all.

Pride will make us fall.

Life is meaningful.

Life delights us all.

Light creates us all.

Pride divides us all.

Life is meaningful.

The soul survives us all.

Greed will make us fall.

Light will bind us all.

Greed will make us fall.

Light will bind us all.
