Epica - Immortal Melancholy Lyrics






Wander, there's no return
Keep moving on as the paradise burns
Leaving your trace in the sand
Harbor my soul for the final descent

Feeling alive, we are free in the silence
We have lived our lives, no hope in your eyes to find

Join me, come join me
Dancing in melancholy
Join me, won't you join me
Enter this chapter, infinitely

Choosing to give in to fate
Standing together as death allocates
Sorrow evaporates
Now our ties are an endless embrace

Join me, come join me
Dancing in melancholy
Join me, won't you join me
Enter this chapter, infinitely

A union in life, breathing silence together
Walking the stairs that have led us this way
Thinking of how to return to the page
Now that our times run out

Epica Immortal Melancholy Comments
  1. M.... ....

    Seen this video on 2x2. Like.

  2. G.... T....

    This animation was better than the first one. 👌🏽

  3. G.... G....

    This voice is priceless, keep doing such a great job Epica !

  4. G.... ....

    I feel so guilty to like this song more than Once Upon a nightmare...

  5. V.... d....

    2:53 ( Thanos has here too ?).

  6. G.... M....

    The intro section is similar to that of Europa League theme.

  7. A.... ....

    I'm out of salt, so I'm playing this to cry into my soup.

  8. B.... B....

    The animation isn't bad. It's just not for the style of Epica. Great job anyway, Davide Cilloni! :)

  9. L.... C....

    Vocals are everything!

  10. D.... N....

    I Epica has evolved to a new level with these animations. Keep up the great work!

  11. J.... S....

    Amo esta canción 😭

  12. S.... S....

    Que pena, es muy buen album y canción, mejor no le hubieran hecho video, parece que la hicieron con los pies, bajo la influencia de drogas baratas.

  13. C.... E....

    Let's forget about the video for a moment. This song is a true masterpiece! There is something so pure and nostalgic about it and it has a very unique feeling to it, it somehow reminds me of Nightwish's "Angels Fall First"-album. I never expected to find something like this again, so when I heard it for the first time, I fell in love with this song.

  14. M.... ....

    It must take some effort to create a video with that low amount of sense. Those crystals that they wear on their necks are some sort of light sabers now? How did they got them in the first place?

  15. F.... G....

    Star wars 2.0

  16. M.... M....

    It is great to see, that more and more bands break into animated videos. I agree this video is probably not the most technically perfect video, but stop complaining. There is no need to drag the people through the mud, who've worked very hard on this video. I myself work as an illustrator and animator and I can assure you, it is not easy getting funding or paid projects in this industry. Animation is an expensive business and it is very hard labour. Videos like thes cost months to make and often they are done by one single person. Most people complaining about these types of videos have gotten a view behind-the-scenes. Animated videos like these ones can therefore cost quite some money. But as many of you know, getting the funding isnt always easy and sometimes things have to be done quick and easy. So you see where I am going. You cant have it all. And simply saying hire better people is a very plain and simple, but not a realistic solution. Instead I advise you to admire people you sacrifice there health, while sitting literally hours and hours daily in front of the screen when working on animation projects. And the more animation projects find their way into the business, the better the quality will be in the end. I always thought music is about artistic expression. So relax, stop the complaining and enjoy the show ;)

    M.... M....

    I don’t blame the type of video, just the images doesn’t fit well with the song. They could’ve use a slower animation to really demonstrate the felling of the song. It just doesn’t fit.

    M.... M....

    I can't agree more about the work behind all of that, even if it doesn't fit well with the song, the animation is great and so is the song, I'm sad that people are bitching about it, can't people just apreciate things anymore ?

  17. K.... ....

    Probably my favorite song rn

  18. B.... M....

    i actually like the animation style. I think it is a bit tacky, but i like the appearance. And that's one beautiful song

  19. R.... E....

    On dirais une chanson Disney XD

  20. J.... C....

    Lantern Corps fighting an evil empire?

  21. S.... P....

    I think they need to change label. I think Napalm and road runner would be awesome for them...

    S.... P....

    No. NB is the perfect label for this band.

  22. T.... V....

    a voz da simone mudou pra crl desde o ep we take u with us

  23. R.... ....

    ACHO BOM A GENTE RECLAMAR PRA CARALHO PRA ELES DESISTIREM DA IDEIA DE REPETIR UMA MERDA DESSAS

  24. W.... S....

    idk why people are annoyed with these videos. I for one like and understand them, and was actually excited to see this.

  25. N.... G....

    A intro é a mesma de the Solace system

  26. E.... S....

    This is perfection, lyrics n all
    But it is still hard to fully grasp the meaning of it all.

    E.... S....

    Euthanasia

  27. B.... A....

    Acústic song + Epica + vocal power of Simone Simons = minuts of glory, Saludos desde Colombia

  28. T.... P....

    The last animated music video I loved that I remember anyway was Land of Confusion by Disturbed, and that was done by Todd McFarland. Otherwise known as the artist for Spawn.

  29. t.... s....

    Don't make music video like this anymore

  30. D.... A....

    Is this a "B" song, could not qualify to the Holographic Principle??? I've just keep on listening for days, completely fell in love with... Hope they will be back inn Budapest soon to hear it live! Treasurebox!!

  31. B.... 0....

    Great song, but worst video ever.........

  32. K.... D....

    As i said under the Solace System. Love the music as always. But the animation is... just bad

  33. S.... K....

    Enthralling and calming music, unexpectedly softly charming vocals, deep and serious lyrics. This is good, of course, but the video looks like a cringy AMV based on a shitty anime.

  34. D.... L....

    People complain too much, this is amazing, good story and epic song as always.

  35. s.... s....

    Next should be Fight your Demons.

  36. M.... B....

    I can see some story in the 2 videos .. but what does it mean? :P

    I assume it will make sense once we got all of the videos.

  37. r.... ....

    Simone is getting lazy as a vocalist and their vocal lines are getting very boring,

    r.... ....

    So much this. Can't listen to the most of their new stuff just because of the uninspired and annoying vocal lines.

    r.... ....

    *just an annoying brat you should never take seriously
    *You two are idiots.

    There, fixed both your name and that ironic grammar mistake.

    r.... ....

    You're welcome! ;)

  38. R.... A....

    Simplesmente se vc não chorar, vc não é humano. Linda canção, apesar da animação, mas todas dignas

  39. M.... v....

    cool song, cool animation but it doesn't fit together

  40. k.... l....

    Simone eu te amo sua linda,epica é vida 😌💅❤

  41. J.... P....

    Isn't this song on Holographic Principle...?

    J.... P....

    this is the original one, the one they released in THP was the piano version of this song.

  42. A.... ....

    These videos are so tacky and cheesy. How such 'animators' get hired by anyone, let alone famous labels, is beyond me.

    A.... ....

    OMG again?! Seriously, by now Jesus has nothing on me. Sigh, cya in a few days I guess.

  43. J.... G....

    Todo lo que hace Epica es una obra de arte \m/ nos vemos en Dallas

  44. H.... R....

    So there's another part of the story, huh? 😱 Cool! 😁 Wow, this song is beautiful! ❤ Now I know how the original version sounds like. 👌

  45. C.... F....

    That flower at the end so totally got a boner

  46. Y.... Y....

    Beautiful song! Looking forward to the release of the EP, almost no time left already! :)

  47. G.... ....

    this was already on the holographic principle?

    G.... ....

    it's the piano version and the classical version. This is the original version of the song.

  48. L.... M....

    Nice birthday's present, my feel in this moment this is it :'(
    Liked Epica <3

  49. M.... ....

    "Here's my rough idea of how the music video will look, now give me 1 million dollars and I'll make the finished version"

  50. m.... i....

    Simone ❤💘🎶🎵🎼🎧😌

  51. J.... A....

    GOSTEI. MUITO BOM, ABRAÇO.

  52. l.... d....

    Ótima música, mas a animação ??? Não entendi nada '-'

  53. S.... ....

    Still makes less than zero sense...

    But the song is great, as always <3

  54. k.... ....

    y cual es la diferencia entre la version acustica de The Holagraphic Principle y esta ? me gusta mas la version "acustica" de su ultimo album, es mi cancion favorita, pero la malograron con el video :'v

  55. h.... j....

    this is horrid...really shows up the terrible lyrics of Simone

    h.... j....

    She's miles ahead of Mark and his pseudo-intellectual new age bullshit.

    h.... j....

    "..really shows up the terrible lyrics of Simone" - really? have you read DECODED POETRY? Lately, i prefer her lyrics over Mark. And no, it's not pseudo-intellectual new age bullshit! :p

    h.... j....

    yes i have and the lyrics suck. thought i was to kill myself anyway?

    h.... j....

    Why force yourself into Epica if you can't put up with shitty lyrics? They have produced tons of them and I think still will lol.

  56. A.... R....

    Nice song but the video really f*cking terrible...

  57. r.... ....

    💖💖💖

  58. H.... Z....

    It's even worst than The Solace System video xD, but I love the song (Still I prefer Piano Version <3)

    H.... Z....

    piano version?

    H.... Z....

    Yes, there's 4 versions of this song, this one, piano, acoustic and classical version.

    H.... Z....

    +Grosu Cosmin Ionut You can find the piano version on the bonus "Acoustic Principle" disk of the Holographic Principle.

  59. B.... ....

    You know a band became in a gold digger when they start doing this kind of videos and they are stuck in one kind of music forgetting everything what made them great, anyway this band its dying so fast

    B.... ....

    They evolved and matured, respect this

    B.... ....

    I think the greedy label milking off the band that has recently got popular is more to blame here. Although they definitely allow way too much of the outside input, if they even have a say in that anymore.

    B.... ....

    Adead I remember to read the interview where Mark stated that Nuclear blast does not tell anything. And they have free will to do whatever they want. Ofc that might be bullshit

  60. M.... D....

    o Epica ta com preguiça de lançar um clipe de verdade.

    M.... D....

    ana Marília pura verdade/ o Epica sabe fazer música, mas clipe não | até Storm The Sorrow é melhor!

    M.... D....

    Verdade.

  61. O.... H....

    O estilo do clipe não tem nada a ver com a música. :/
    Mas de qualquer jeito, a música é linda!

  62. K.... I....

    The song is pretty good, but i didn't expect the video to be like this, i mean, the animation style is not really fit to the song, though it is good enough but still awful...

    K.... I....

    how can awful be good enough?

  63. J.... S....

    Liked it but the story stills confuse to me

    J.... S....

    Jeasy SOUSA SILVA que fue lo qye entendistd ?

  64. A.... C....

    WTF? Completely does not fit to the music.

    A.... C....

    Artur Czekalski totally agreed

  65. F.... B....

    I can't believe that a band like Epica could use a trash animation like this. This is very ugly and amateur.

  66. M.... S....

    I really love Epica and this song, but I have to admit that this animation is awful! They could have done better.. Getting some better artist to make the drawings...

    M.... S....

    I think this was more a choice of art-style, rather than creating something universally pleasing. I could be wrong though, fuck knows xD

    M.... S....

    In some parts it looks like a deliberate artstyle, but in other parts it just looks plain bad.

    M.... S....

    Yea looks like they were trying to do something different and it isn't really working out :(

    M.... S....

    Who agress that Evaescnece - Imperfection video is better than this?

  67. F.... S....

    Love Epica, but this animated videos are pretty bad. Is not the art nor the artists, it just don't fit

    F.... S....

    If they want animated music videos. They should go to quality YouTube animators and storyboard artists.

  68. A.... E....

    I like how they combined this music video with The Solace System.
    Story behind this song: According to Simons, one of her relatives was friends with a couple who discovered that they were both terminally ill. The pair opted for euthanasia, which is legal in the Netherlands even if someone isn’t diagnosed with a fatal condition, reports The Daily Wire. “They couldn’t stand the fact that one of them would have to suffer alone,” says Simons. “It is a story that still gives me goosebumps. Such a dark but beautiful and profound love story.”

    A.... E....

    April Egerci which is a more interesting humane story than whatever pulp style this video does tbh

    A.... E....

    Damn that's some strong story. I hope they're happy together now...

  69. U.... P....

    Oh, look, another video I'm gonna pretend doesn't exist. I will only listen to the music with eyes closed :D

    U.... P....

    Doing the same here xD
    What a beautiful melody!

    U.... P....

    fuck you

    U.... P....

    Easy, don't make me spray you with water xD
    Chill, I love Epica but these animated videos lack quality and seem to be a buch for "cool" scenes stitched together. But the music is on point.

    U.... P....

    Urías Peña nice advice!! i've done that 👏

  70. A.... A....

    como sempre a deusa Simone dando um show <3

  71. I.... J....

    Favourite song in the new album!

  72. J.... V....

    Ficou muito legal, só aguardando o lançamento do ep

  73. M.... M....

    Es mi impresión o la voz de Simone se oye un tanto diferente... Me encanta! <3 Me transportó unos añitos atrás

  74. A.... G....

    ¡EL VIDEO! ¡¡¡AJAJAJAJAAAAA!!!

  75. k.... K....

    So beautiful!💜💜

  76. A.... s....

    Que fea animación :v

  77. t.... ....

    Love it ❤

    t.... ....

    theholographicalena THE song isn't over yet and you love it

    t.... ....

    Choby Choby because I bought it on amazon today morning and already know that I love it 👀

  78. A.... C....

    Wander there's no return
    Keep moving on as the paradise burns

    Join me, come join me

  79. R.... ....

    Por favor cambien de vocalista

    R.... ....

    Simone probally feels so bad to read your comments EPICAN. Shame on you.

    R.... ....

    EPICAN and you need to grow up and show your face if you are a decent man or woman

    R.... ....

    these epica haters must die, they don't deserve to live, so ate their ridiculous apologists..

    R.... ....

    EPICAN Shut up please! c: fucking insane

    R.... ....

    Epican, you're both trolling or completely insane: ANYTHING can be criticized, let alone a FUCKING BAND.
    That being said, Simone is way more than a mere vocalist in Epica. Without her or Mark, imho there would simply be no Epica anymore, and I personally love the fact they didn't take the Nightwish/Xandria route.

  80. C.... A....

    Yes yes.
    Best part of my Tuesday

  81. A.... ....

    Simplemente magnífico.

    A.... ....

    ME explica o video? Não entendi esse e nem do The Solace System ç.ç
