Design Your Universe 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 do 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

Of our consciousness

Can′t undo
Show us now
Confront us
We're the weakness
Can't evade
Show us how
We have a sense
Of our conciseness
