There's nothing better than Epica with Apocalyptica. I wish I could see them performing together someday.

[dfreeman]

This is why I recommend Epica to people. I definitely recommend seeing them live.

Become one with imagination
No more fairytales (no more fairytales)
Our souls will unite together
We will lift the veil (lift the veil)
Your touch has turned to stone
No fire in your bones
It's time to leave the past behind
The road is never-ending
All dreams will start ascending
Beyond the boundaries of the mind
Break loose from the chains
Rise above the waves
Fighting in the darkness
Dancing in the light
Break out of your cage
Turn another page
Drowning in the river
Swim against the tide of life
Holding tight to the ever after
Living for a sign (living for a sign)
To survive raging storms together
Through the eye of time (through the eye of time)
The eye shows no reflection
No dreams without inception
Exists within oceans of time
Break loose from the chains
Rise above the waves
Fighting in the darkness
Dancing in the light
Break out of your cage
Turn another page
Drowning in the river
Swim against the tide of life
The coil in which we're living
Is no more than a prison
The scheme of life became deranged
Dark clouds with silver linings
Attain the mysteries of shadow and shine
Break loose from the chains
Rise above the waves
Fighting in the darkness
Dancing in the light
Break out of your cage
Turn another page
Drowning in the river
Swim against the tide of life 🫀🖤

Simone has one of the most beautiful voices in music, period.

[welshdevil]

Why does she sound better live than studio? Stunning, ethereal song.

[astral]

I wonder how it feels to be Simone, one of the greatest vocalist in the world, performing in the most ultimate band in decades, On top of that being one of the most beautiful woman ever, with a soul descendent from paradise ....

[geraldkhasi]

no one can beat symphonic metal bands not only in terms of music artistry, but the settings on stage, the lights, its just superb

[darque]

when i want to hear a singer actually hitting every note on stage, i often come back to epica. simone's just awesome and a pleasure to ears and eyes.

[PaulBosenJr]

So many versions of this song, and each one of them better every time.

[ElizadeathHS]

I love Epica so much. Definitely one of the best bands ever! 🤍🖤✨️

[mikelangley]

Ok that was the first time I ever heard EPICA or Apocalyptica. The singer was an angel from heaven. I was mesmerized by her voice. I found myself crying by the end of the song and I don't cry easy. Wow what a special moment for that audience to hear that live.

[val-]

To each and everyone of you, on stage, we deeply thank you for this amazing tour

[sterketjerke]

I was there... Best co-headliner ever! These two bands fit so well together.

[Holmes]

Hear his voice on live concert. It was so much GREATEST GENIUS! I will never forget! Thanks for that, Epica! I'm 47 old, listening once upon a nightmare just stopped my car and crying. My wife told me that I'm posessed. Few minutes ago I told here why. It's totally like seening Mozart! So much talented music, keep creating!

[erikalima]

Quando pensei que não poderia melhorar essa canção, vem eles e torna ainda mais Épica 💕💕

[klavirdemo]

And what have they not done together before? They are made for each other!

[phntom]

Amazing voice, amazing band, beautifull and powerfull music! Lovely Epica! Lovely Apocalyptica! Together is the BEST!

[Kratos_God_of__BMG]

She has such an ethereal voice that's even more amazing Live! Even though I didn't get to hear Rivers I did get to hear Beyond the Matrix, which is one of my favorite Epica songs.
