"Writing this was a departure for Vicky and I but it may have been one of the most rewarding as songwriters. It allowed us to explore sounds and emotions we've always wanted to but could never quite get to in a metal setting. Also, working with Igor Khoroshev (Yes) really helped bring out the full depth of Vicky's piano and string arrangements. The lyrics were originally inspired by stories of the renaissance plague doctors. FTB Visuals was able to take these themes and create a modern world storyline with an equally dark overtone that captured the painful emotions in the song."

Lyrics:
Pour that man another
The things he's seen, the things he's done
His hat and cloak, the antidote
If the man wants to clear his debts
Who are we to subdue his struggle?
He might let you bleed if you're nice
Salvation always has a price
Relax
It will all be over soon
My face the last thing you will see
Relax
The pain will go away
As I carry your body off
Into the arms of an old friend
They look at him as the savior
His raven eyes watch through dome of glass
His heart races and his palms they, they sweat
As he etches another in his book
He might let you bleed if you're nice
Salvation always has a price
Relax
It will all be over soon
My face the last thing you will see
Relax
The pain will go away
As I carry your body off
Into the arms of an old friend
A familiar friend returns
To take back what was borrowed
A familiar friend returns
I will greet him with a smile
A familiar friend returns
To take back what was borrowed
A familiar friend returns
I will greet him with a smile
A familiar friend returns
To take back what was borrowed
A familiar friend returns
I will greet him with a...

Legend 👍👊 do you know what album this is off?
Ethan Doughty It's taken from "Five"
that is my name, yes^^?
Axl Mayanga cheers m8 and resifreak he's just in awe of u man. The shock just allowed him to utter your name 😉
Her voice is perfect in this song
I like this song very much! Vicky's voice is amazing and the guitar just blows my mind :)
"Salvation always has a price" Love this song and video. The Agonist continues to evolve and get even better.
This is outstanding! The Guitar makes me feel... Well so many things
From South Africa
OMG, it's filled with emotions to the point where I cannot stand still at all, LOVE IT!
I don't see the point on bad commenting
I love the atmosphere of this song, and I love what Alissa became with AE
Both Vicky and Alissa are amazing, and may they last for long in their bands
The Agonist always got so much depth to there music absolutely love it, keep slaying em'
Good song. Great harmony
La versatilidad enriquece a la banda.
Una canción con voz limpia en el álbum cae muy bien. Nice job guys. 💪
Sofia Prado creo que le queda mejor vicky a la banda que Alissa .
No es por nada pero el antiguo the agonist era aburrido , sus canciones solo las escuchaba un mes a lo más y después me dejaban de gustar, ahora es mucho mejor musicalmente y la voz de Vicky es muy buena .
Ahora Arch enemy no me gusta y era mi banda favorita , musicalmente es buena , pero la voz de Alissa deja mucho que desear , solo su belleza la rescata jajaja xD
omar D. Torres, también yo tengo sentimientos encontrados con Arch
:(
Sofia Prado lástima que Ángela salió de la banda , ella era bestialidad pura vocalmente
omar D. Torres A mi me gusta la voz de Alissa
Esta vocalista tiene un gutural orible era mejor a Lissa
Love the song. People seriously need to chill out... not every metal song needs growls in it. If another metal band can have a slower and mellow song so can The Agonist. It's obviously never going to be the same without Alissa but I fucking love Vicky she has a killer voice, great on stage and is super awesome to talk to. That's what happens when you add new members music changes. For good or for worse, my opinion is that they sound awesome now (not that they didn't sound good with Alissa). Really like where they're going!
katrenafratric I agree, everyone is saying the agonist sucks without alissa, but they are still great, they're just going in a bit of a different direction
I think rock and metal bands do the best slow songs
I actually like when bands do different things like a Metal band does an Acoustic song
The versatility makes this band so fucking great
Yay, an actual music video unlike some bands who just record themselves playing in dark blueish rooms *cough* Arch Enemy *cough* xD Still love AE tho
if the band records itself playing in dark bluish rooms I usually blame the director of the video, if not the one who gave him/her the idea :3
Waited for a heavy part, but that's not a problem. Nice song, but fucking hell is this depressing
like a real depression, only from out
Honestly Vicky is just so awesome.
I'm not a metalcore fan, so it's one os the best the agonist's songs for me
Great Song
Greetings from Poland
Sounds like a song that should be at the credits at the end of a modern Mafia movie.
Was confused at first but I guess the guy in all black is the Reaper?
yes
So different, soooo great, I love this song. Would not call it a typical Agonist number, but man this is song writing on a real high level.
The emotions in her voice, that piano a the start of the song and the strings give it a really jazzy feeling.
Surprised there aren't many haters. I am digging this. Might take a few more listens to get into it. Got the album on spotify but haven't listened to it thoroughly yet. Old singer was way too repetitive. I like how varied they are becoming. Makes it way easier to listen to. Usually with metal heads, they can't compute with change. They like the same thing over and over and if it ain't constantly screaming like Arch Enemy, they call it pop lol
A great song in a incredible album, that's the kind of music I love !
(for growls, others music of the album are for you)
man...the jazz....this is astonishing
The Jazzonist! :P
Vicky is such a versatile singer. I love her tone and all the little nuances in this song.
Nice job guys!🤘🔥👍👍 awesome actors

Wow ! Really great song, good job guys :D !
What a voice Vicky, you are great 👍 singer, love from Greece ❤️.
Great song! It has that James Bond vibe.
My dear you have truly ascended to a higher level with this bluesy "Hitchhiker" jam. Like a vagabond on the open road of humanities lost soul this song assails the senses and takes your breath away. Fucking beautiful !!!
Brazil ❤
Wow, I like her a lot better than Alissa with this band. Better ensemble, they just vibe well together. I think I'll start listening to the agonist again. :D
It seems to me that the man with the hooded jacked is playing the role of death because he shows up right before somebody is about to die.
Wow... This is brilliant,,what a great song The Agonist!!!
The melancholy in this song is beautiful.
Vicky's voice ❤❤
Still waiting for a video for "The Villain" 🙃
holy crap, this is so fucking good.
woow.. great song!!!!!!
GREAT MUSICIANS AND THE NICEST PEOPLE YOU WILL EVER MEET.
What a powerfull voice!
Glad to hear them here for the first time... cool stuff !
Verry nice video!
This video is terrific and great. Liked, shared and listen 4 times
Good song!
Greetings from R'lyeh
This year I've listened to songs called "Raven wing", "Ravenblack", and now comes "The raven eyes". Is this the year of the raven in metal or what?
:-) Yeas, a good song.
Never been to a music video so early
Emotionally heavy. Like it!
I love The Agonist!
Plus le temps passe et plus je trouve que cette nouvelle chanteuse a été parfaitement choisis pour remplacer Alissa.Cette chanson est super !
Love it.
Very nice work guys
People talke shit but i love this fucking song ,so much soul and brutalness in the meaning.People forget metal doesnt always need the natural elements.
OMG why the fuck EVERY fucking song has to have brutal riffs with a ton of distortion and hyper fast double kick? Why you can't listen to an acoustic song without going crazy?
Wow, great!!! :)
This is just epic and hits you hard.
i am a simple man i see the agonist i press like
I am simple man i see Agonist without Alicia i press dislike :)
I love it...
This is WHY I love Vicky ... I like her in a few songs but ... some seem forced when it comes to the "growling" ... she has such a GREAT voice and damn ... when you can pull off covers (pre The Agonist) as good as she can include one of the (Rest in Peace, Chris) late Chris Cornell ... YOU KNOW you're a talented vocalist
WOW!
Rest is peace sweetheart, I'm so sorry you were in such pain.
Loved the vid
Это просто нереально крутой клип и неимоверно крутая песня!
YEEESSS!!!
finally...amv been waiting for so long
This is something new. But i like it A LOT better than the new AE record. This right here has got some soul, some feeling, some impact. I love metal, but slower songs by hard bands are often very good.
PS: why even bother to leave a negative comment if you don't tell whats wrong? What is wrong with you people?
Slow songs by hard bands are usually my favorites. Silent War by The Charm The Fury is a great example of that. Love the entire album. Beartooth is another one where the slower song is one of my favorites. Even if it ain't my favorite, it stands out. Which is appreciated
"PS: why even bother to leave a negative comment if you don't tell whats wrong? What is wrong with you people?"
Because people are pissed and where else are they gonna get those frustrations out other than youtube.
it's really different from their other earlier tracks. doesn't mean it's a bad thing. this song was quite beautiful. although, this isn't something I'll come back to...
This is so fucking dark and beautiful how can a anyone hate this

My favorite song of Agonist without Alissa. This video was my dream:)
This sons and clip are so intense!
@grimik red. I consistantly listen to brutal death, dsbm and other kind of that, so i have to negotiate your opinion in my case. Otherhands I know people who are this closedminded.
Back to this sound...I hoped that there were more electric guitars and drums but many calm songs on different LP's are great to. And this one counts also.
Vicky go on to her full potential which was not used to 100% on 'Eye Of Providence' - furthermore you grew up with Alissa in front and that voice is really different.I really can't wait to hear more tracks of the upcoming LP and maybe there will be more great riffs and drum/basslines like before 😉
Great Job, keep on!
cool
Well I like this better than when they try to do the same thing they used to do with Alissa (because they don't seem to be able to keep it up).
Wow I thought the last cd was a change, but really headed to a point of needing to change the name.
This is a perfect song, with a perfect harmony. Musically perfect. If a metal band is able to make this kind of things, and not just growl and destroy the guitars with tap and virtuous riffs, we met with a real band. A band with real musicians. Congratulations The Agonist, leaving behind the ghost of Alissa. There's now Tarja and Alissa widows xd
By the way, I am bachelor in music. I know what I'm talking about :)
While I agree that this song is very good, you can't take away from the musical integrity of their previous works simply because you don't understand it. Being "Bachelor in music" means nothing and doesn't make your point any more valid if you can't hear what's actually being played. The thought that went into the melodies, harmonies, and time signature changes is very apparent if you actually listen to the music. the poly-rhythmic nature of their older stuff can be chaotic at first listen but that's Largely due to the loud crashes of the drums and growls but you can't deny the talent and capability of the artists simply because of that, especially without actually understanding the formation of their art. And just so you know I studied music as well, but I didn't need to to know the point you were making was a huge blanket statement of ignorance over metal in general and more specifically this band's older material.
Hey, take it easy. I've never deny or denigrate the previous work of the band or any other. In fact, "Lullabies for the dormant mind" is my fav album and "Prisoners" is the Opus Magnum of the band (for me). I just said that it's fine to make something different even if you're a metal band. And, to be musician wasn't an argument, I answered that 'cos very people attack the comments having no idea what they're talking about. But you're the exception. Sorry if I hurt some susceptibilities. Greetings!
By stating if metal bands just growl and destroy their guitars, I jumped to the conclusion that you of the camp that beleived "Heavy metal is just chaos random notes! Not structure or anything anyone can play that, all theyre doing os just smashing their guitars and screaming." I was legitimately "triggered" I guess because I get so sick of people having that mindset and bashing other art forms just because they can't understand it. In hindsight, my delivery couldve been better especially if my intent were to change someones mind. Sorry for the misunderstanding have a great day
They go hard 😊
Excelente canción , me encanta el nuevo the agonist , para mi gusto es menos aburrida que cuando producían con Alissa
X2 Vicky llego a salvar a the agonist de donde la boba de alissa la dejo
WHAT.A.BEAUTIFUL.MELODY
that was unexpected... but nice :)
Let them play the music they want to
Dude in the video looks exactly like Robert Downey Jr when he's dressed as a local poppie farmer in Tropic Thunder, lmao!
We are Flaming Dragon, you give 1 million dolla for The Agonist!
Interesting bluegrass-inspired rock. What happened to The Agonist?
This sounds so prog I love it
nice song!
Just because it's different it doesn't mean it's bad.
Good song
It's just bonus acoustic song, stop panic
Never clicked on a notification so fast!
:D
Idk what happened while recording, I mean, it could just be me, but apart from all the changes they've made with their music.. does anyone notice (well, you rather hear it out when listening to the chain or the ocean) the quality of the sound? what studio did record this? It sounds somewhat like the album was recorded through a weird filter.. This bothers me since the first time I've heard the album which was pretty much on the day it was released.
(yup, my english is trash,I know)
I'm a fan.
Different but great!
I'm early I can't believe it!! haha
Amo está canción
THE AGONIST?
Awesome song :3
the picture doesn't collide with the music.... damn it, doesn't at all...
Brazilian fan ✌️
I like this :3
I really want to like this song or album. But it is just not working for me. (I'll still listen to their next music though, I know they can do better!)
