Epica - Edge Of The Blade Lyrics






(Edge of the blade)
Time to break through the anger
Hunt down the remnants of the everlasting myth

Incinerating hands that touched your graceful face
In their mysterious ways
The scorching scars have left an everlasting visual trace
Now they're blinding, and rewinding

(Edge of the blade)
Time to break through the anger
Hunt down the remnants of the everlasting myth

Cherish your hunger for resentment and dismay
And then come out to play
Cascading colors, meticulously all washed away
Time for choosing not for losing

Defying the fire reviving within

Time to break through
Your walls are soaring high
They are disarranging
The surface on which we build our own lie

(Edge of the blade)
Time to break through the anger
Hunt down the remnants of the everlasting myth

Your wish for virtual perfection seems inane
But try and you will evolve
Your paragon possessed your inner self to no avail
No more waiting, no debating

Defying the fire reviving within

Time to break through
Your walls are soaring high
They are disarranging
The surface on which we build our own lie

Don't throw your life away
Remain the same

Watch your back, now feel the heat
You've fooled the world one more time
And now that you've seen with open eyes
All of us are incomplete

It's time to break through
Your walls are soaring high
You can even try to
Break through the perfect state of mind

And now you break through
You'll reach beyond the sky
You should never, ever build on the surface made of lies

(Edge of the blade)
Time to break through the anger
Hunt down the remnants of the everlasting myth

  28. g.... m....

    For the soundengineer.. Maybe put the leadsinger 3db louder?

    g.... m....

    yeah i agree. Her voice gets drowned out by the other instruments. It should be a tiny bit louder

  29. L.... V....

    Fantastic!!!!

  30. N.... 8....

    Saquen otro álbum!! 🤘

  31. T.... W....

    O kurwa ♥️

  32. L.... B....

    Daenerys in season 8's costume looks like Simones Dress 8D

  33. C.... ....

    lol omg

  34. S.... A....

    This called true Symphonic Gothic MetaL

    S.... A....

    Just Symphonic Metal..

    S.... A....

    It's not gothic. There is nothing gothic about Epica.

    S.... A....

    @Nova Verse Actually its fem/symphonic metal. Fem metal & symphonic metal so largely overlap by maybe 80% but not entirely so there is still basic symphonic metal that is MALE FRONTED like Sonata Arctica & Stratovarious.

  35. J.... C....

    I absolutely love this band , old , new , all!

  36. R.... R....

    Beautiful METAL

  37. b.... ....

    Watch my Edge of the blade guitar cover

  38. A.... C....

    ALGUIEN DE PERÚ? VENEZUELA? :v

  39. A.... C....

    Esta es mi canción favorita de EPICA♥ de ahi vienen Sensorium, Storm the sorrow, Unleashed, etc 7u7

  40. S.... Z....

    Pretty weak compared to Phantom Agony :/

  41. D.... T....

    The only downpoint of Epica is the overuse of the choir sound
    It's epic but its overuse makes it cheesy
    Apart from that
    I love Epica to death

  42. E.... S....

    I just noticed at 3:05 you can see the pleats in Simone's shirt from it being folded. Just saying that the costume department did not do their job very well - they could have at least ironed it

  43. E.... P....

    I’ve been listening to Epica ALL FUCKING DAY looking for this song.... now I can sleep in peace...

  44. A.... S....

    In general I find it very difficult liking any symphonical metal, but this song definitely got me even if not the most typical symphonical metal. A masterpiece!!

  45. R.... V....

    28K!!!!!!!

  46. L.... A....

    15 seconds my friends, it took me 15 freaking seconds to fall in love with this song!

  47. M.... S....

    Perdi o show da turnê desse álbum na minha cidade... Se arrependimento matasse...

  48. J.... N....

    This song gives me chills, with each epica song I listen to i fall in love with this band even more. ❤❤❤

  49. M.... G....

    Legendary ♥

  50. E.... ....

    Goosebumbs holy shiet!

  51. �.... �....

    ну чё, как всегда пиздато...

  52. C.... K....

    This is the first song I've listened to by them but the riffs are fucking sick

  53. A.... E....

    I don't get it, what's different?

  54. V.... J....

    Épico.

  55. E.... U....

    Mark, r ye single? Lol

  56. S.... S....

    I tend to skip like 10 seconds or more to see if I’m going to keep listening to the rest of the song. I had my volume up and it scared the shit out of me! Gonna add this to my playlist 😂

  57. F.... L....

    Seriously, I thought this was going to be a cover of the Journey song! 😅

  58. C.... W....

    nightwish fans have to be very careful when they say that they are the best metal band symphonico for that you come the proof that epic yes and the best band of the genre.

  59. A.... K....

    I like Epica a lot. Really, I do. To me this one is too vogue, to my liking. More about fake eye lashes than lyrics. Just TOO much of it.

  60. R.... T....

    Шикарная певица!!!! Красивая!!!

  61. B.... ....

    Keyboards have no place in metal.

    B.... ....

    OK tell that to Dark Tranquillity , Children of Bodom, Emperor, Kamelot, Savatage, Symphony X, Dream Theater, King Diamond, Amorphis, Omnium Gatherum , etc. Then get back to me and tell me how they are they have no place in metal dumbass.

  62. M.... ....

    This song is like calls to fight against our fears and despair. It's like you're going to "break" the chains of pain and fighting for freedom and saving everyone souls. It's sounds so heroic! Also that song can be a badass anime opening! 10/10!

  63. D.... N....

    This song is AWESOME, brought me from spotify here to tell you how great this song is, WOW!

  64. A.... B....

    i love you simone simons

  65. F.... U....

    Do yall ever think epicas lyrics are too preachy to listen to sometimes

    F.... U....

    I think that's lyric theme of the last two albums LOL
    Their lyric always has strange themes compared to usual dragon, medieval, kingdom... themes of Gothic/Symphonic Metal

  66. �.... �....

    Am i the only one who heard Lacuna Coil influences on the vocals? I LOVE it.

  67. L.... P....

    Lol kill the stylist and the one who made those childish kitschy effects

  68. J.... C....

    anyone else tripping out over those lazer pyramids? Those things are sick

  69. s.... ....

    Time to break through the anger
    Hunt down the remnants of the everlasting myth
    Incinerating hands that touched your graceful face
    In their mysterious ways
    The scorching scars have left an everlasting visual trace
    Now they're blinding and rewinding
    Time to break through the anger
    Hunt down the remnants of the everlasting myth
    Cherish your hunger for resentment and dismay
    And then come out to play
    Cascading colors meticulously all washed away
    Time for choosing not for losing
    Defying the fire reviving within
    Time to break through
    Your walls are soaring high
    They are disarranging
    The surface on which we build our own lie
    Time to break through the anger
    Hunt down the remnants of the everlasting myth
    Your wish for virtual perfection seems inane
    But try and you will evolve
    Your paragon possessed your inner self to no avail
    No more waiting, no debating
    Defying the fire reviving within
    Time to break through
    Your walls are soaring high
    They are disarranging
    The surface on which we build our own lie
    Don't throw your life away
    Remain the same
    Watch your back, now feel the heat
    You've fooled the world one more time
    And now that you've seen with open eyes
    All of us are incomplete
    It's time to break through
    Your walls are soaring high
    You can even try to
    Break through the perfect state of mind
    And now you break through
    You'll reach beyond the sky
    You should never ever build on the surface made of lies
    Time to break through the anger
    Hunt down the remnants of the everlasting myth

  71. R.... J....
