Epica - Martyr Of The Free World

Dutch symphonic metal band EPICA celebrated their 10th anniversary with a one-night-only event, dubbed Retrospect. The band was accompanied by the seventy piece Extended Reményi Ede Chamber Orchestra and the Choir of Miskolc National Theatre, playing an unforgettable 3-hours best-of set.

According to respected Dutch newspaper the Volkskrant "The band wrote a chapter of Dutch metal History" this evening. Rock Tribune (Belgium) thought it was "an unforgettable show".

Ten high definition cameras captured this very special sold-out show while Epica played in front of nearly five thousand ecstatic fans in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. In addition to a collection of the band's biggest hits from across the spectrum of their entire catalog, this once-in-a-lifetime spectacular also features the live debut of "Twin Flames" and the previously unreleased "Retrospect", covers of classics by Vivaldi, Pergolesi, and Oscar-winning film composer John Williams, two guest collaborations with the venerable Floor Jansen (Nightwish, ReVamp), and a very special performance of their breakthrough single, "Quietus", with founding members Jeroen Simons, Ad Sluijter, and Yves Huts.


Martyr Of The Free World

Speaking in degradation 
A conversation can take a sudden turn 
And reaching the point of violence 
Because your silence left you without a hand to hold 

Your past will lead you on to make... 

Making a final judgement 
Based on your bias will never bring you forward 
Terror should never guide you 
For even the fearful can take a beating in the end 

Suspicion gets you nowhere 

Those who denounce a way of life 
Will stand alone 
Left to atone their social blunders 
If you gun down the messenger 
You guarantee that he will be made 
Into a saint 
The martyr of the free world 

I will say what i think 
I will do what i say 
When liberty seems out of reach 
We'll fight for our freedom of speech 

Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine, 
et lux perpetua luceat eis 

Missing a simple context 
A mental weakness can throw you out of balance 
Listen, respect each other 

It's not too late for mercy 

I will say what i think 
I will do what i say 
When liberty seems out of reach 
We'll fight for our freedom of speech
