[Epica - Wings of Freedom lyrics]
O amici, o victoria gloriam cantabimus
Celebrate hanc victoriam pugna inita
Up with our backs against the wall
When this safety is a prison
There is nothing left to live for
Soon we will rise above it all
When our victims turn to martyrs
Come and join the final encore
The enemy's frightening we give our all
The bigger they come the harder they fall
Put on your wings and take the sky
Fly into liberty
All of the anguish set aside
As we are fighting for freedom
Put on your wings and feel alive
Fly out of misery
Reclaiming the land that lies outside
As we are fighting their treason
Shine through the sky
On your wings of freedom
Are we only animals that live inside a jail?
Aching from desire to be free?
There's a world outside if we
Are not afraid to fail
Come on grab your wings and follow me!
We're not meant to live in this cage
A bird to fly but never crawl
It fills my heart with a fiery rage
The time has come, climb over the wall
Hope will always keep us alive
Our fallen friends won't have died in vain
Strongly armed with our will to survive
Leaving a world full of pain
Our freedom, Quietus
The choice is yours for the taking
(yours to take) our freedom, the Grim Reaper
In the end is one
I will never settle
Living my whole life inside these walls
Show me your will to survive
We are not the cattle
Lacking the desire that it falls
Go out reclaim the land
I shall fight for justice
Fearless will I face my enemies
We'll make humanity thrive
Now it's time to trust us
Come and join the fight because it's
Time to be free, for you and for me
We will not bow down on our knees
To rise above monsters we have
To abandon our humanity
Day and night dividing the legions
Ignorance will show it's weakness
Lasting peace an abandoned illusion
Blinded by trust in a twilight zone
Day and night disguising their secrets
Ignorance will kill the fearless
Offerings of reckless courage
Going left, going right
This is our final fight
Going east, going west
This is our final quest
Put on your wings and take the sky
Fly onto victory
All of the anguish set aside
As we are fighting for freedom
Put on your wings and feel alive
Fly out of misery
Reclaiming the land that lies wait's outside
As we are fighting their treason
Shine through the sky
On your wings of freedom
O amici, o victoria gloriam cantabimus
Celebrate hanc victoriam pugnae venturae
Nos rapti sumus? Nosmet raptores?
Constituamus nunc
Celebrate hanc victoriam pugna inita
Up with our backs against the wall
When this safety is a prison
There is nothing left to live for
Soon we will rise above it all
When our victims turn to martyrs
Come and join the final encore
The enemy's frightening we give our all
The bigger they come the harder they fall
Put on your wings and take the sky
Fly into liberty
All of the anguish set aside
As we are fighting for freedom
Put on your wings and feel alive
Fly out of misery
Reclaiming the land that lies outside
As we are fighting their treason
Shine through the sky
On your wings of freedom
Are we only animals that live inside a jail?
Aching from desire to be free?
There's a world outside if we

Come on grab your wings and follow me!
We're not meant to live in this cage
