EPICA - Cross the Divide (Audio with Lyrics)

Описание: Dutch symphonic metal band Epica have announced a new studio album to be released in April 2025 titled “Aspiral”. This is the comment of the band: The album title of our 9th studio album is derived from the eponymous bronze statue made by Polish sculptor and painter, Stanisław Szukalski back in 1965. It stands for renewal and inspiration – keywords that were essential to us while creating this album. In Szukalski’s work, every detail is a piece of art on its own and there’s always more to the story than you initially think. For us, this was the perfect analogy for the album: each song stands on its own with a distinctive vibe and meaning, while together they enforce each other into what we believe is our most monumental effort. You’ll soon find out, because the new album will see the light of day on April 11th.

Cross The Divide: Lyrics
Dive into a cosmic sea
Unravel all its mysteries
Navigate our spirits flying higher
As we join the endless choir
We all unite
And now we rise
We fly and cross the divide

All I want is to go back in time
Change all moments lost in the tide
Taking back control
Cross the divide

All I want is to go back in time
Change all moments lost in the tide
Taking back control
Cross the divide

Time to wander through the mind
Immortal shadows intertwine
Navigate your way through cosmic sea
Our hearts infinity
They will align

Give us the sign to fly and
Cross the divide

All I want is to go back in time
Change all moments lost in the tide
Taking back control
Cross the divide

All I want is to go back in time
Change all moments lost in the tide
Taking back control
Cross the divide

Everywhere I look, I see the sadness in their bloodshot eyes
Everytime I feel the horror creeping through our children's minds, I cry
Cross the divide

All I want is to go back in time
Change all moments lost in the tide
Taking back control
Cross the divide

All I want is to go back in time
Change all moments lost in the tide
Taking back control
Cross the divide

Echoes of all stories untold blinded by the night
Cross the divide
Gravity is growing stronger
Bending shape of time in our lives
