I Am Deeply Moved By Music
Okay, this group has way too few members to deserve this piece, but I'm trying to slowly post something in most of my groups... And this one certainly fits!
I also love it when primarily metal bands make ballads or detours into different genres of music, because many people seem to be of the opinion metal bands are noise and couldn't cut it in other genres. (Even with the inevitable response of "Oh so they can make GOOD music too"...).
EPICA's certainly done that at other times, too, as with their "Classical Conspiracy" album which was a whole concept-album of classical covers, and can certainly pull it off pretty well in live performances too. Somehow the "Tides of Time" piece from their "Design Yout Universe" had actually missed my attention before though, and boy...
It reminds me of some of the earlier work of Sarah Brightman, on Phantom of the Opera in particular, without being an outright copy... And the feelings, wow, even if you don't completely relate to the theme. The same album has also tracks I relate to much better, which is why I'm not posting them :)

You were always there to hold my hand
When times were hard to understand
But now the tides of time have turned
They keep changing
Seasons range, but you remain the same
A steady heart, a sun to rain
You'll be the light that's shining bright
High above me
Autumn gold losing hold
We are leaves meant to fall
There's a meaning to all that fades
Freezing winds were stayed by warming words
To touch your healing to the hurt
I'll treasure every lesson learned to the embers
Fire fails, blushes pale
We will answer the call
There's a meaning to all our
Seeds of eulogy to sow along with dreams
Fill the need that can leave us grieving alone
Frail is our beauty in the end
But all we count is sentiment
A memory stays to guide the way, and whisper
Don't lose sight, don't deny
We are leaves meant to fall
There's a meaning to all our
Seeds of eulogy to sow along with dreams
Fills the need that can leave us grieving alone
A symphony resounding in our minds
Guides us through what we knew would come all a long
Sometimes I feel I don't have the words
Sometimes I feel I'm not being heard
And then I fear I'm feeling nothing more
Sometimes I feel I don't want this change
I think we all have to rearrange
And now I feel there's no one losing more
Seeds of eulogy to sow along with dreams
Fill the need that can leave us grieving alone
A symphony resounding in our minds
Guides us through
(As you hear me)
As you do,
(As you need me)
Making true
What we knew would come all along
