Design Your Universe (A New Age Dawns, Part VI) Songtext
von Epica

We′re blind and eager
Avarice will set us back to blank
Those who wager all will
Have to name a reason

If you can't let go
You will end up empty handed
If you can′t control
You'll live your life in vain

Who decides about my time to come?
Who is able to break through
The circle of life and doom?
Don't look back keep on track
To break the curse
Take the chance, design your universe

We can′t undo what we have done
So show us now what we′ve become
Confront us with our viciousness
And our weakness


We can't evade our destiny
So show responsibility
For we all surely have a sense
Of our consciousness

To take for taking′s sake will leave
A path of loss and strain
And endless breaking of faith
Can warrant acts of treason

If you can't let go
You will end up empty-handed
If you can′t control
You'll live your life in vain

Who decides about what′s true or false?
Who is able to sift through
The treasures from the flukes?
Don't look back, keep on track
To break the curse
Take the chance, design your universe

We can't undo what we have done
So show us now what we′ve become
Confront us with our viciousness


And our weakness
We can′t evade our destiny
So show responsibility
For we all surely have a sense
Of our consciousness

The time has come, we have to see
That total wisdom is in reach
The time has come to color in the lines
We must identify the signs

So many people are full of hate
While love and light are in their reach
So many people will harm themselves
But life can be so beautiful

So many people will idolize
While their own success is in their reach
Don't forget you′re able to
Design your own universe

Find your balance
Sink into rumination

Ipsum te reperies
Potire mundorum
Potire omnis mundi

We can't undo what we have done
So show us now what we′ve become
Confront us with our viciousness

And our weakness
We can't evade our destiny
So show responsibility for we all surely
Have a sense of our consciousness

Can′t undo show us now
Confront us we're the weakness
Can't evade, show us how
We have our sense
