EPIKA- Chapter 1
New Liner-Notes by Antonio Giorgio:
The story begins in 2023 with a boy or girl with no name and no specific geographical origin (which could also be you at this precise moment when you listen to the song or even listening to \"EPICA\", Kamelot's album \"Epica\") who using Imagination brings the Faustian story of Ariel to life, to which will also be added from the second song that of Michael Spirit, a new character created by me for this album. The Center (or rather Epicenter) of the Universe is wherever you are and where your Spirit itself reigns and can feel within itself every Emotion and Vision that the Human Mind and Heart can experience. As the band said in that 2003, far but at the same time close and always present somewhere in the Cosmos according to the theory of Eternalism/Universe-Block: welcome to the Epicenter of the Universe, welcome to EpiKa!!
CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE
Move slowly
Beyond the colors of my eyes
Move slowly
Into the corners of my mind
Rising like the Pegasus
Each and every one of us
Released
Islands in the sea of dreams
Always searching harmony
And peace
All we find
Reject our mind
Don't you wonder why
If the war by heavens gate released desire
In the line of fire someone must have known
That a human heart demands to be admired
Cause in the Center of the Universe
We are all alone
Show me sign of paradise
A place we all would like to go to
Tell me what to sacrifice
So there's a chance for me to want you
All I find
Reject my mind
And I wonder why
If the war by heavens gate released desire
In the line of fire someone must have known
That a human heart demands to be admired
Cause in the Center of the Universe
We are all alone
I have a tale to be told won't you listen tonight
Follow me into the core of the fountain of light
Try to imagine that hope is our ship for the soul
(Over the ocean the quest of your life lies ahead)
Maybe together we'll find there's a place for us all
(Follow the star in your mind, sail along sail along)
