Epica - Once Upon A Nightmare Lyrics






On the way to sacred shores
And in the arms of the life that we adore
Moonlight shows a white design
That's been waiting for a chance to seize the soul once more

“Sweet lad, o come and join me, do!
Such pretty games I will play with you”

On a road
Changing course
Lightning strikes where we depart
An eerie voice as the night embraced the heart
Resonating from the life that is moving on
To the new window of the soul

“Will you, sweet lad, come along with me?
My daughters shall care for you tenderly”

Hear his mystic voice

“I love you, for your comeliness charms me, my boy!
And if you're not willing, my force I'll employ”

He feeds on stainless souls
We are struck in the night
Ancient power will strike

Feel the fire

Now run into his arms
Leave your shelter behind
We are going to fly
Higher than high
We will take on the sky

Feel my senses

United by the night
Now it's time to close the door
And open up like before
New window of the soul
The silence of the void
A father's life destroyed
Stuck in the night
Ancient power will strike
Feel the fire

Burn inside

Run into my arms
Leave your shelter behind
We're going to fly

See us fly
And hear our cry
We're out of sight

Higher than high we will
Take on the sky
Feel my senses
Out of my sight
But live on in my mind
New windows of our soul

Epica Once Upon A Nightmare Comments
  1. H.... C....

    I had a dream snd thought it was a great idea for a book, so it took me about 3 years to write, and I decided to call it Once Upon a Nightmare, and one day I happen to come across this song and was all hyped that it has the same title. But the real shock was that the lyrics really matched all the themes of my story

    H.... C....

    Is your book available for reading?

    I always have to think of House Stark from Game of Thrones when I hear the beginning.

  7. L.... ....

    Absolutely unique. Hard to find real poetry and excellent music combined these days.

    L.... ....

    What's even more amazing is how it is not only inspired by Schubert's Erlkonig, but that it has elements of it, like the lines by the Elf King, and the repeating melody in the background, as a honage to the repeating chords in Erlkonig which represents the galloping of the horse.

  8. E.... H....

    For my funeral.....

    E.... H....

    This or "in all conscience", both great for goodbye

    Not many people actually enjoy listening to what an artist has to express. It's easier to just sit back and play PSY

    x.... ....

    There is no words to express how we feel by listening that <3

    this song sends chills down my spine, it is simply amazing.
    and it is magical when played in a live concert.

    L.... ....

    I guess you was in Barbi in 2017. Yes, it was breathtaking show!
    And I'm sure, so will be in 10/10/19 again!

    I heard this live, and I could have sworn it was one of their older songs. Guess I was wrong :p

    p.... ....

    I thought the same, very similar to one of their earlier song's. lots of wording the same I'm sure.

    p.... ....

    Which song was it similar to?.

    p.... ....

    @Nova Verse Tides of Time?

    p.... ....

    Parts of it reminds me of Dreamscape from The Quantum Enigma.
