"The Skeleton Key" Nos furiae nocturni terrores We are the night We haunt your mind A thousand silent voices have been screaming in my mind this night again I am trying to decipher the allusion so I'll finally ascend Run around in circles no direction without any end to see Imagine there's a world with all the answers, are they hiding within me? Can we find the lightning that shines inside our mind? Can we fight the dark side, we've all been trying to hide? The many sleepless nights, the panic that rewinds Waiting for the sunrise as paradise arrives We own the night You better hide The whispers of a liar cursing me inside, my thoughts are all on fire Have been staring in the mirror of perception leaving everything behind Holding on to sanity before the darkness cuts me like a knife I am suffocating in a world in which I have to die to feel alive Can we find the lightning that lives inside our mind? Can we fight the dark side, we've all been trying to hide? The many sleepless nights, the panic that rewinds Waiting for the sunrise as paradise arrives Darkness bleeding in the night's light Standing at my bedside Bring upon the nightmares Open up the secret window Step into the unknown Longing not to be scared Lightning that shines inside in our minds A dark sight we've all been trying to hide We've all been dancing in the dark We've all been drifting worlds apart Nos furiae daemonia tua We've all been dancing in the dark Can we find the lightning that shines inside our mind? Can we fight the dark side, we've all been trying to hide? The many sleepless nights, the panic that rewinds Waiting for the sunrise as paradise arrives With peace of mind Unlocking all the secrets in me We harmonize I carry my own skeleton key

[@kozmycblues666]

Épica transmite cosas que en otras bandas como Nightwish, Therion, Xandria e incluso After Forever no he observado: la estética. Musicalmente tienen esa impronta acuñada por sus músicos, y el valor agregado de Simone. La de antes, la de ahora. Simone ya es y será lo que Freddy Mercury a Queen o Robert Plant a Led Zeppelin. Irremplazables, incomparables. Y todo eso se ve reflejado en la puesta de sus conciertos y sus maravillosos videos.

This the most elaborate and visually intriguing music video Epica has made to date. The effort is notcible. Great track, good album. Thank you for the music Epica, much love from the darkside but I do see the lightning.

[@dannyb3663]

Yeah the video really got me thinking. In my interpretation, the little girl is Simone's inner child, asleep and trying to find a part of herself in the dream world, that has been repressed. And then she finds it, represented by the creepy talisman thing. That the 'guardians' who watch over (or guide) her while she sleeps seem to have wanted her to find. Really spooky message. Love it. Just my 2 cents.
