Divide and Conquer Lyrics by Epica

The Holographic Principle

2016

[Instrumental Intro]

[Intro: Choir]
Divide and conquer
Show no mercy
Defile the honor
Sow discord amongst them all

[Verse 1: Mark Jansen, Simone Simons]
Crucify my faith
We'll set the stage for the last play
You will not hurt our pride nor break its strength
Stirring up the hate
You'll fail to practice what you preach
Wake the force as we
Won't let you crucify our ways

[Choir]
Abomination
Will enrage them
Manipulation
Is effective after all

[Verse 2: Mark Jansen, Simone Simons]
Justify yourself
We cannot speak above our breath
I read between these vast adorned lines
Justify your acts
The credulous will be our guests
Wake the force as we
Won't let you crush our self-respect
Highfalutin weaponry
You dictate your recipe for life

[Chorus: Simone Simons]
Seek the mastermind
The one who's always right
We’re searching now and endlessly to set us free
Seek the mastermind
There's no one you will find
We have to find a way to change our destiny
Hate and fear corroded all our hopes and dreams
That's all we have achieved

[Post-Chorus: Choir]
Divide and conquer
Spread disease amongst them all

[Verse 3: Mark Jansen, Simone Simons]
Desecrate yourself
Yet our duty will prevail
You will not penetrate through massive shields
Desecrate yourself
We will harvest all we've sowed
Wake the force as we
Won't let you steal our integrity
Highfalutin weaponry
You dictate your recipe with lies

[Chorus: Simone Simons]
Seek the mastermind
The one who's always right
We're searching now and endlessly to set us free
Seek the mastermind (Seek the mastermind)
There's no one you will find
We have to find a way to change our destiny
Hate and fear corroded all our hopes and dreams
That's all we have achieved

[Breakdown: Mark Jansen]
Bleed from greed

[Choir]
We'll
Succeed
In
Our aim
Force the spirit to its knees
Dominate humanity

[Sample Voices]

[Bridge: Choir]
Hold yourself accountable
For the mess around us all
Running blindly for the fall
We are all responsible

[Choir: Simone Simons]
Seek the mastermind
The one who's always right
We have to search and endlessly to set us free
Seek the mastermind (Seek the mastermind)
There's no one you will find
On this quest without an end, eternally
Hate and fear prevented us to reach
What we truly are
Nothing is really as it appears
That's all we need to be

[Outro: Choir]
Abomination
Will enrage them
Manipulation
Is effective
Don't be merciful
Seize them all
