Lyrics:
Now the ending is in sight
In my heart of hearts I know
As I bleed my final starlight
Life is born as I let go
From the moment we arrive
Love endures, beyond our fleeting years
(Mysteries of life)
Unseen forces unite, we are one
On stardust we ride
amor, ira aeterna
Fulgor, fatum, incendium
Sensus omnes profundi
Universo coniuncti sunt
I release my final breath
As my atoms split the skies
Through the endless and forever
I am echoed in your eyes
Feel the universe inside
Dark and light, living deep within our hearts
(duality of life)
Ageless forces unite, we are one
In starlight we shine
Illa – lux – Illa – lux – illa – lux
Specta – et – specta – et
Illa – vis aeterna infinita,
Lux – vigor mundi in anima
Illa – penetravit in spiritum
Lux – perobscura sed illustrat
Specta – praeterita et futurum
Et – posterum est superius
Specta – mentem nostram altissimam
Et – indivisam in tempore
From the moment we arrive
Love endures, beyond our fleeting years
(Mysteries of life)
Unseen forces unite, we are one
On stardust we ride
amor, ira aeterna
Fulgor, fatum, incendium
Info:
Simone Simons, ihres Zeichens seit mehr als 20 Jahren Sängerin der niederländischen Metalband Epica, veröffentlich ihr erstes Soloalbum Vermillion am 23.08.2024. Zusammen mit ihrerm langjährigen Partner Arjen begibt sie sich auf diese Reise. Als Vorgeschmack gibts das gewaltige Musikvideo zur Single „Aeterna„.
„Aeterna is the big, epic opener of the album and it comes with this amazing video too, directed by Patric Ullaeus. It definitely sounds the closest to Epica and Ayreon, blending powerful Latin lyrics with a touch of an oriental feel. We’ve tried to strike a balance between the mighty, bombastic sounds and the more atmospheric parts.Since it’s the first track people will hear from this alum, it’s super important to us and we’re really excited for people to hear it!
Aeterna takes the point of view of a star about to go supernova to explore how everything in the universe is interconnected, like a cosmic web made from stardust. It deals our deep emotions, consciousness and other mysteries of life that science still can’t fully explain. Essentially it’s a reflection on our place in the vast universe and the connections that bind us together, as we’re all, to quote Carl Sagan, “made of starstuff.“
