[Simone Simons]
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 inside 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
Ooh, aah
Don't throw your life away
Ooh, aah
Remain the same
[Mark Jansen]
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
[Simone Simons]
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
Edge of the Blade was written by Isaac Delahaye & Simone Simons.
Edge of the Blade was produced by Epica & Joost van den Broek.
Epica released Edge of the Blade on Thu Sep 08 2016.
Simone: “The music for this one was written by our guitarist Isaac Delahaye, but the lyrics are mine. I’m singing about self-acceptance and about not concentrating too much on the unimportant things in life. You have to nurture your soul and not focus on being perfect because who defines perfection...
