EPICA - Martyr of the Free Word - Acoustic Version (Official Music Video)

[@blivion7203]

It truly is one of EPICA's best albums... The acoustic version of the song is as good as the original, in my opinion.

Divine conspiracy is by far their best work.

There's no objectivity about music so you're all wrong.

This is simply the band I love the most in this world. The acoustic versions are amazing, the new sounds, new rhythms, all flawless.

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 judgment 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 word Missing a simple context A mental weakness can throw you out of balance Listen, respect each other Then you'll discover It musn't always end in hate It's not too late for mercy 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 A martyr of the free word

[@jongu71]

Only Epica can shift so effortlessly between lead-heavy metal and the most fragile and tender ballads. That’s musicianship for you, folks!

[@Fogad237]

Goosebumps, nostalgia, this song is profoundly actual. One of my favorite albums of symphonic metal. God bless Epica.

[@LigeiaNoire]

Epica is currently the best, most complete, most technical and intense symphonic metal band out there, we need a new cd to feast upon. The video is pretty daring, considering the media brainwashing we endure these days, Well done, Miss Simone flawless as always, artsy fits her well.

A Song In Memory Of Journalists Who Bravely Exposed Anomalies,Injustices,And Corruptions In Today's Society Yet Facing The Risk Even Though It Cost Their Lives!

[@matthewvp8507]

The original version of this song was what made me fall in love with Epica and launched my wonderful journey discovering the rest of their art. Hearing it here in such a beautifully delicate version is completely moving. Really makes you listen to and think about the lyrics, which sadly are even more relevant now than I think they were 10 years ago.

[@ZenarchersLair]

Stunning translation. Brilliant composition by Epica truly revealed in this scaled-down masterpiece. Simone shines again in her perfection.

[@jolinar4028]

The melody progression.... shivers

[@Darkness-Ash]

No matter how the years go by, your voice and beauty are still magnificent and will remain forever...

[@FrolFrodo]

So beautiful. Simona's voice is like honey for my ears.

[@brunofernandes3298]
