Epica - The Second Stone Lyrics






O, ne moriar bis
Oro supplex

Sometimes I feel like my reason is weakinning
My inner clock's forcing time stand till
I'm breaching borders between life and sanity
That's when it all starts to shatter in front of me

Liberate me
Why don't you liberate me?

Sometimes I feel I'm betraying my memory
This time it seems that I'm losing the fight
Finding it hard to be consciously part of life
That's when awareness and dreams start to separate

Reunite me
It's time to reunite me

As time goes by I hide the truth
Cannot stand myself with a broken shell
As time goes by I try to choose
Don't know where to roam in this private hell
Give me relief
Let me believe between sweet fiction and reality
My train thoughts got lost somewhere along the way
I'm chasing shadows that cross on my path
Repeating visions that dance faster than my mind
Can't stop the rain casting shadows on my parade

Can't defeat me
I will not bot to defeat

As time goes by I hide the truth
Cannot stand myself with a broken shell
As time goes by I try to choose
Don't know where to roam in this private hell
Give me relief
Let me believe between sweet fiction and reality
My train thoughts got lost somewhere along the way
I'm chasing shadows that cross on my path
Repeating visions that dance faster than my mind
Can't stop the rain casting shadows on my parade

Ne moriar bis

Another life, anothe mind close to insanity
Another road, a cryptic code the second stone
All the is left is a cross that's mine to bear
A cruse with no ending drenched in anxiety

O, ne discedam bis
Oro supplex

As time goes by I hide the truth
Cannot stand myself with a broken shell
Give me relief
Let me believe between sweet fiction and reality
As time goes by I try to choose
Don't know where to roam in this private hell
Give me relief
Let me believe between sweet fiction and reality

Ne moriar bis

Epica The Second Stone Comments
  1. O.... ....

    I don't like Thrash Metal in particular... But this song is actually pretty good.....

    O.... ....

    Am I missing the point...

    This is symphonic metal

    O.... ....

    @Wolffza To the point of reaction...! You propose... And I dispose!

    O.... ....

    @OceanborN7 ah ok thank you for confirming.

  2. M.... R....

    that intro 100% metal organic epic….

  3. M.... ....

    It's interesting how Epica can blend beauty with brutality and make 'em walk together. It feels like walking on a thorny path without feeling the pain. So to summarize, Epica is awesome. Epica just inherited the epic sound. Undoubtedly the best Symphonic Metal band.

  4. k.... e....

    moruq böyle müzikler dinleyince kedi kesmek şart uzun saç olmassa olmaz bide küpe dövmesizleri sikiyolar zaten

  5. 5.... C....

    I don't know how it took me so long to hear these guys, I will regret it for the rest of my life. This guitar tone is amazing, the drums sounds great, can actually hear the bass in a metal song, and Simone is a natural in finding those verse rhythms and chorus rhythms that give chills. Also the transition to the chorus after the guitar solo gave me chills, which I haven't had from music in a while now sadly. These guys are in a league of their own to me. Nightwish with heavy ass riffs and more metal drum patterns, when I crash from head banging to this..I shall keep head banging.

  6. S.... S....

    the lion

  7. O.... X....

    The best song that Epica has ever put out! It is too original!

  8. M.... ....

    I haven’t listened to this song in quite a long time. I just woke up randomly at 3 am and had it stuck in my head for some reason so I had to listen to it and I’m surprised I remembered so many of the words. I really need to listen to Epica more again, I miss listening to music with lyrics that make you contemplate life and other things

    M.... ....

    oh moonbeam

  9. S.... P....

    Epica everyday improving my reflection about the life :)

  10. G.... R....

    They really improved since the 2000s.

  11. F.... V....

    Been a fan from then from the start when i saw em here locally playing for 100-200people and later Hof ter Lo and Graspop. Design your universe is my favored album followed by this one

  12. R.... B....

    maybe one day this Band can be as popular as EVANESCENCE! Amy Lee 😍

    R.... B....

    Rodrigo Barreto lol

    R.... B....

    Rodrigo Barreto I know right?!

    R.... B....

    Wht r doing here???... Ow u know wht this is ur chance to quit on phony music thoe!

  13. W.... ....

    They are no such famous than they should but it is because of not everyone has a exotic taste for the music

    W.... ....

    my eyes are bleeding from this english text xD

    W.... ....

    " I GOT YOUR SOUL BROTHER!!!"

    W.... ....

    Please, improve on your grammar if you're gonna use English as your go to language.

    W.... ....

    Don’t listen to these guys just keep practicing your English. Instead it should have been written “they are not as famous as they should be because not everyone has an exotic taste in music”

  14. R.... M....

    The power of symphonic metal in a band #Epica #Venezuela

    R.... M....

    They're from the Netherlands???

    R.... M....

    Well... That album had pretty thrashy songs... If you removed all the Symphonic elements, what you'd get is basically Gothic Thrash Metal.
    So I can't say that The Quantum Enigma was merely a Symphonic Metal album, but a very thrashy album, as well.

  15. R.... ....

    Simone writes such beautiful and intelligent lyrics.

    R.... ....

    For sure! But I prefer Mark Jansen's lyrics. I like his style the best, his lyrics have inspired me so much in so many levels of my life!

  16. R.... N....

    Fuckin AMAZING!! Best band ever!!!

  17. Z.... Z....

    This is all about Alzheimer's disease

    Z.... Z....

    For real or that's how you took it?

    Z.... Z....

    @Marze Umaña yes, they said it an interview.
    The second stone’ talks about Alzheimer; people who get this disease die mentally for a first time, then after a while they die physically for a second time.

    That's the english translation of the latin words from the song.

    http://www.the666journalist.com/2014/05/we-interviewed-arien-from-epica-to-talk.html

    Z.... Z....

    No, It talks about people who have to live in a state that is far less diminished than what was originally possible. When, I read the lyrics, I think of a lumberjack or miner that suffers an injury that forces their families to SUPPORT them. Besides, I don't think an Alzheimer's victim would be cognizant enough to "betray their own memory" when they can't remember to begin with.

  18. A.... ....

    love Simone's lyrics here. fave song by epica im obsessed!!

  19. M.... M....

    The intro sounds very Rhapsody influenced, definitely like something Luca Turilli would write.

    M.... M....

    +TSM LEGENDA (TSM-OFFICIAL) generic? fuck you.

    M.... M....

    +TSM LEGENDA (TSM-OFFICIAL) Turilli's so fucking pretentious

    M.... M....

    Metal Maestro Yeah I got some Rhapsody of Fire vibes from this as well.

  20. K.... K....

    just like BEHEMOTH ft. NIGHTWISH

  21. B.... ....

    I listened to just two out of all tracks and I can tell this is way better than Requiem for the Indifferent. Its just on a whole another level.

    B.... ....

    +BridgeToNowhere1994 I agree with you, The Quantum Enigma is better than Requiem for the Indifferent. I actually didn't like this last one. However, Design your Universe is my favorite album.

    B.... ....

    True. For some reason, I didn't like the production on Requiem. The guitars sound way too harsh and unpleasant. I loved Delirium and StS, though. But The Quantum Enigma completely blew me away. The grandeur and majesty on EACH song is amazing. Truly 'epic'. I love every single song on that album, it's my favourite album by Epica.

    B.... ....

    The phantom agony, Design your universe, Requiem for the indifferent, The quantum enigma and The holographic principle are my favourite Epica albums, all in the same level...I just love all of them :D

    B.... ....

    BridgeToNowhere1994 Internal Warfare from Requiem for the Indifferent is an excpetion.

  22. s.... ....

    Amazing Epica is Amazng!!!
