Design Your Universe - Epica

We’re blind and eager

Avarice will set us back to blank

Those who wager all will have to name a reason

If you can’t let go, you will end up empty handed

If you can’t control, you’ll live your life in vain

Who decides about my time to come?

Who is able to break through the circle of life and doom?

Don’t look back

Keep on track to break the curse

Take the chance

Design your universe

We can’t undo what we have done

So show us now what we’ve become

Confront us with our viciousness

And our weakness

We can’t evade our destiny

So show responsibility

For we all surely have a sense

Of our consciousness

To take for taking’s sake

Will leave a path of loss and strain

And endless breaking of faith can warrant acts of treason

If you can’t let go, you will end up empty handed

If you can’t control, you’ll live your life in vain

Who decides about what’s true or false?

Who is able to sift through the treasures from the flukes?

The time has come, we have to see

That total wisdom is in reach

The time has come to colour in the lines

We must identify the signs

So many people are full of hate

While love and light are in their reach

So many people will harm themselves

But life can be so beautiful

So many people will idolize

While their own success is in their reach

Don’t forget you’re able to

Design your own universe

Find your balance, sink into rumination

Ipsum te reperies

Potire mundorum

Potire omnis mundi
