Travelling around the world and meeting other cultures; those are in short the major sources of inspiration for singer, songwriter, composer and guitarist Mark Jansen, both as a person and a musician. The latest proof of his unlimited interest in the world around him is the album The Phantom Agony, the colourful debut album of the recently founded Dutch band Epica. Mark Jansen and his fellow musicians harbour a great interest in other cultures, especially Arab ones. The warmth with which people treat one anotherthere, but also the music from that part of the world. The varied sound of Epica reflects all that. Also influences from other parts of the world, including South-America found their way to the songs that figure on the debut alum. The band also intends to d More... (Submit New Epica Lyrics) (Submit New Epica Lyrics) Review about Epica Great song misunderstands indulgences | Reviewer: Tihamer Toth-Fejel ------ About the song Cry For The Moon performed by Epica It is certainly true that "Forgiveness is not for sale". But forgiveness is not free, either. Remember what it cost you to forgive someone who hurt you badly? Is it not true that sin hurts people? It also blinds the sinner who tries to cover up and/or justify it. So even if God forgives your sin in eternity, there are still real, practical consequences that we, as sinners should make up for. Often we are ignorant of who we hurt, especially given the secondary effects of sin. That is a logical justification for indulgences - it's a convenient way for people to make up for all they hurt they caused. The Catholic Church just acted as the middleman between the sinners and the those who were hurt. Of course, such a money stream will corrupt any but the most holy of saints. And it will attract the vilest of sinners. As Scott Peck (a Unitarian) pointed out in his book "People of the Lie: A Psychiatric Examination of Evil", evil people love to hide in churches because that is the nature of evil -- to pretend to be good. I highly recommend Peck's book - it is fascinating. You won't be able to put it down. beatiful | Reviewer: Denisse ------ About the song Linger performed by Epica some friends of mine and I are going to compete in some contest we created where we gotta sing, it is gonna be fantastic and you can choose whichever songs come to ur mind... i chose this one!!! i can't sing like simone, she is unique, but I will do my best I simply love them!!! Epica is a progressive band | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Facade Of Reality performed by Epica Epica is awesome... They don't live in a box like other Americans do.. Epica is progressive and open by using languages and tunes of other cultures thus I don't think that they criticize Islam blindly... They criticize the Muslim fundamendalists and they say it openly in German at one of their studio performances... Epica should be given a credit for being open to other cultures that's my main point... Great Song | Reviewer: Danielle ------ About the song Sensorium performed by Epica The Phantom Agony in general is a great CD and this song is really good too. My favorite part is when the growling comes in (there is only a small part of that) and then Simone sings a really gorgeous few lines and then it's the symphonic choir in for the big crescendo finale. Angelic, Pretty style ballad | Reviewer: Danielle ------ About the song Linger performed by Epica I love both sides to Epica - the bombastic tunes and the softer ballads and this is one standout ballad. The tune is just so beautiful and Simone sounds fantastic here. It's got a lot of violin and piano and is on point with Safeguard to Paraside in terms of style. Angelic. Beautiful. Perfection. This looks like an History class | Reviewer: unlucky girl ------ About the song Cry For The Moon performed by Epica I love this song it speaks about the catolic church and it remembers me how was created the lutheran church "forgivness is not for sell nor is the will of forget" the Lutheran church was created bcause the catolic church was selling for money the "forgivness" of God(you pay for a paper that said "God forgives you") and Epica is from Germany and if my memory doesnt fail most of people in Germany are lutherans sorry if my english is not very good im Chilean sorry if my english is not very good My Beliefs | Reviewer: Joseph Johnson ------ About the song Cry For The Moon performed by Epica This is a totally dynamic band who are not afraid to speak the truth of the Church and behavior not becoming a human that comes from the owners of these churches. From my metal band(Burnt Virtue) to theirs-Rock on! Linger | Reviewer: Raphie ------ About the song Linger performed by Epica First of all,i'd like to say that im a big fan of EPICA,perhaps one of the biggest.anw. In my opinion,'Linger' is one of their best songs.the music fits with simone's voice.sounds as one.so nice.so dreamy.so amazingly perfect.MAGICAL might be the word im looking for..:] the lyrics..are so really DEEP,and mean A LOT to me..for my own reasons.. great song.i love it. oh and..one word which can describe what EPICA is..P E R F E C T I O N! Islam and muslims are different | Reviewer: nadeem ------ About the song Facade Of Reality performed by Epica I'm a muslim.. and i think there's nothing wrong with this song.. epica has showed great understanding in this song.. didn't u notice the lyrics? : "People created religious inventions" .. they've criticized muslims behavior.. not Islam itself.. see? I do believe that the us has planned this whole play so they convince the "simple mind" of the american people that they have the right to fight against terrorist.. it's just an execuse to win afghanstan and Iraq.. i live in syria.. the country next to iraq.. and i know the right meaning of terrorism when i hear about the blood rivers in iraq which are created by american and british soldiers.. American people.. try to watch aljazeera TV .. and you'll understand new things about your government.. the greatest liar in the whole world.. it's ok if epica have a view as long as they represent it in a respectable way.. (this song for example) .. but it's not ok at all with me to hear a song as "fools of damnation" which is full of mocking.. they missed respecting other's thoughts with this song.. at the end.. i just want to say that islam does NOT agree with what happened in 11th sep .. islam does NOT suppor Binladen.. islam is peace.. So Close and Yet So Far | Reviewer: Jeff Mullen ------ About the song Run For A Fall performed by Epica This song is actually a good barometer of the group that made it. The music is simply astounding, and Simone Simmons' voice is so beautiful--she has such amazing pitch control even at full volume--that it's scary. But the lyrics are flawed and the singing technique that Simmons uses makes it hard to understand what she's saying. Copies of the lyrics that I got from other internet sources lead me to believe that this song had its heart cut out in post production. There are extensions to the lyrics that almost make sense. As they are, however, the lyrics fail to make a single, simple statement; the rhyme scheme has no coherence and there's just plain too much use of passive voice. The words come off as something put together in a couple of hours just to get it out the door. I'm working on a rewrite (which, in all probability, nobody will ever see). The music behind the lyrics is a sharp contrast to this. It is masterfully put together to show Epica's smooth synthesis of what some would consider disparate musical elements. The melody is simply beautiful, and the band does an awesome job of turning a power ballad into a miniature Rock Opera. Like the band that did it, "Run for a Fall" has some great elements, but needs a little more work. Both can be awesome. Beautiful music | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Trois Vierges performed by Epica I originally downloaded this song because Roy Khan was in it, but the more I listen to it, the more touched I am by it. Khan takes the song to added heights, but with or without his vocals, it would still be the achingly beautiful and haunting song it is. Fantastic | Reviewer: SEELE ------ About the song Solitary Ground performed by Epica I love this song so much, it has been a great help for me in these times of rediscovering and trying to improve myself; I indentify so much with the lyrics, it truly represents the feeling of solitude and being lost and not strong enough to found the right path that makes you powerful. Great band, deep lyrics. My best wishes to Epica, let's hope this band stays for a long time, inspiring us with their melodies and lyrics great song^^ | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Facade Of Reality performed by Epica I love this song... but I love all 'Never ending Embrace' and 'A new age dawns' parts. The only thing what Epica does is telling the truth, what most humans can't see, are afraid to see, or just don't want to see. The band that spat life into "music" after decades of death. | Reviewer: Trausti Hraunfjord ------ About the song Quietus performed by Epica Beautiful music. Absolutely fantastic. In the past 30 years I have not been so touched by any music... apart from a few Blues tunes. This is good, this is different, this deserves it's space and place in history. I love it! nice song and melodys and worse lyrics then expected... | Reviewer: Huun'reh ------ About the song Facade Of Reality performed by Epica this song is only reminds me the true terrorist... There is a rally mass terrorism... the real terrorist is USA, that it can kill its own pepople... yes, 11 of september they attacked themselves to make war agains west asia contrys such as iraq, iran, and ecs... today is the most important thing is in our world s energy and the most energy comes from dark gold... in iraq 650.000 civillian killed by american forces or causes... and they name this vailition as freedom and democracy... but I bet that some one will bring america freeDOOM and democracy one day... and that day is close... i like epica | Reviewer: carlos ------ About the song Cry For The Moon performed by Epica I REALLY LOVE THIS SONG, BECAUSE IT TELLS JUST THE TRUTH. THERE ARE A LOT OF CHURCHES THAT TRY TO TEACH OF GOD, BUT THE SAME TEACHERS ARE COMMITING SINS. I REALLY LOVE THIS SONG, AND I WOULD LIKE THAT EVERYBODY COULD KNOW THIS SONG. "jews was plan to attack 11th sep and their us muslim people." | Reviewer: Amir ------ About the song Facade Of Reality performed by Epica I can see you don't understan NOTHING about this. So pleas, let Epica say what they want and believe me, they know better then you. Beside [and mark this one, dude]. EPICA NEVER BLAMED MUSLIMS OR JEWS ON THe 11TH SEPTEMBER OR AT ANYTHING ELSE.
