LYRICS:
Keep faith
Keep faith
In awe and wonder
Great Lord
Your love’s divine
I spread your grace
I share your light
For the shores of hell were burning
In purgatory’s smell
Went a preacher with a crucifix
Brought mayhem and despair
So here comes a new god
Be brave
A God-spelled illusion
A breeding of sin
I'll carry life
Come share the disgrace
Come share our pain
Somehow we’re not one
Yet, somehow we’re the same
Now strong in bloom
It shall begin
Soon forgotten
Withering
Hail, nice to meet you
Another Numen stranger
I’m so
Glad you have made it
Somehow you’ve made it
Welcome to the promised lands
There are no signs
There are no miracles
Shadows bear no names
You should not reveal
(Join the American gods)
The secrets of the American gods
Transform to infinity
No one cares for names
You can’t escape
Better hide now
The secrets of the American gods
So, when I look upon these fields of misery
Who would not sacrifice a son?
My son
It’s now done
We share our tricks
We share our foes
Discorded plans
Distorted tunes
His dripping blood feeds
It’s what this land needs
Life’s creeping back into
Back into
Sadly to say but
Oh, there’s no guidance
But, so bright
You’re blazing starlight
And we are watching you
Watching you
Stranger in a new born land
Of homeless gods
And worn out miracles
On these fields of crows
You should not reveal
(Join the American gods)
The secrets of the American gods
Transform to infinity
No one cares for names
You better bow down
Praise the new lords
The secrets of the American gods
Take a look at yourself
Oh, behold
Here’s another trick
But now enlight
Our path in glory
It is time to close your eyes
I shall live
Almost insubstantial
Resurrect
These moments gone
Contemplate desire
An eternal flame's
Burning down
Don't be scared
Follow the plan
On a lifeless tree
Black bird's singing
Behold
Your father of violence
The one-eyed god
It's sad
I thought you’d know that
The greatest liar is telling eternal truth
I thought you’d know that
I'm your master
Stranger in an unknown land
Of roaring silence
Dead end miracles
Bloody fields, bloody rules
I will now reveal
Join the American gods
The secrets of the American gods
Transform to infinity
No one cares for names
The moment is right
You shall cry out
The secrets of the American gods
The American gods
Yes, we travel all alone
A new play
A new scene
Dripping blood seals the deal
When we enter a new world
Stranded we are wandering
Time?
Time means nothing
To the American gods
No more sorrows
Praise the American gods
You are burning
Yes, you are burning
Oh, you must conquer your fear
You better save yourself
But now obey
The American gods
You better save yourself

We had so much fun filming & producing this
Love this style of music video
I can imagine. It's a blast. Good people and a lot of fun.
Badass
Why is your own comment not pinned to the top?
@@SteelWolf13 Because it's the Nuclear Blast RUclips channel and not my own ;)
Look. A power metal band in 2022 that can actually be epic and STILL put guitars in the front of their music, not just tons of synth. Love that so much !
Check out Avantasia, Hansi features on a few songs from their most recent album Moonglow and its kick ass
You do realize that Blind Guardian was Epic since day 1 and never changed?
What's so bad about synth? Kind of made "the" dark sound: an instrument is an instrument? No, it is...
You said it all.
@@kptlt.phillipthomsen5973 Avantasia is my fave band. I hope Hansi comes back in the next album
That's definitely one of the top 10 masterpieces of Blind Guardian. I feel like I could be easily listening to this song 20 years ago.. the band hasn't changed its essence one bit. This song is pure power.
Not to mention that their older music has aged incredibly well, even the stuff they released way back in 1988.
This song is indeed a f***Ing masterpiece! One of those tracks that can help save the day, when everything else goes bad....
percisely! love it!
This one has some A Night at the Opera vibes too it, love to see it
Seems quite shallow to me...
Nothing is worse than a singer going out of key to reach places their voice can no longer find but Hansi has refused to play that game over the years. His vocals are so spot-on and in control on this song, sounding nothing short of amazing. The band overall really feels like they've hit a groove with all of these new tracks, blending their classic elements with their newer style but not going overboard with either. If the production end holds up, this has potential to be one of the best Blind Guardian albums to date. \m/
Totally agree!
Well, he still can sing very high notes. He did his best vocal performance in the last demons and wizards album.
@@carlosluismendez7392 no shit, that was nothing but amazing.
Well said.
He continues to be the weak point of this band. Ugly voice.
They just dont grow old. They age better than the finest of wines. Their music is like a warm blanket I can wrap myself in when feeling bad. Love em!
what an insult for a fine bottle of wine.
Yawn cliché
🤔🥱🥱 headache 🤕 material this.. I don’t get it how people can enjoy this shoooooiite
This. Exactly. Feels like Blind Guardian will never let me down.
Wym this is hype music
Hansi sounds as powerful and clear as 30 years ago... I don't know how he manages this, that his voice doesn't get older. Amazing
I started lifting weights at the start of Covid, I wanted to thank Blind Guardian for adding at least 7 pounds of lean mass to my frame. Their music is greatest gym soundtrack of all time. It transforms normal deadlifts into magical, epic deadlifts.
Metal is the ultimate gym music. Been lifting to metal for years. Definitely fuels the inner warriors. I'm currently listening to Seven Spires, Orbit Culture, and Shadow of intent at the gym
Rhapsody is my go-to choice for lifting, but the last Blind Guardian('s Twilight Orchestra) album certainly got its fair share of use as well.
I’m sorry to tell you, but unfortunately, after adjusting for inflation…you only added 5 pounds of lean mass.
@@diojibarker9892 It gets worse. I've added about 17.5 pounds of muscle in total. Inflation takes a portion, sure, but then comes capital gains taxes.
Get it? Capital 'gains' taxes. Waka Waka.
@@johnhenryweber665 Well played, sir…well played indeed!
Some unsolicited financial advice…avoid crypto, it doesn’t make cents.
Blind Guardian is just unique and amazing. My favourite metal band ever.
(Keep faith, keep faith, in barren wonder)
Great Lord, your love's divine
I spread your grace
I share your light
Four shores of Hell were burning
In purgatory's smell
When a preacher with a crucifix
Brought mayhem and despair
So here comes a new god, be brave
A gospel illusion, the breeding of sin, I carry light
I share this grace, I share our pain
Somehow we're not one yet somehow we're the same
Now strong in blue
It shall begin, soon forgotten with thе ring
Hail, nice to meet you
Another newborn strangеr
I'm so glad you have made it
Somehow you've made it
Welcome to the promised land
There are no sights, there are no miracles
(Shall spare no names)
You should not reveal (For the American Gods)
The secrets of the American Gods
Just hold to infinity (No one cares for names)
You can't escape, better hide now
The secrets of the American Gods
So when I look upon
These fields of misery
Who would not sacrifice a son?
My son is now gone
We share our tricks, we share our oaths
Discarded plans, distorted use
It's dripping blood fields
It's what this land needs
Life's creeping back at you, back at you
Sadly to say, but
Hope there is no guiding spark
So bright, you're blazing starlight
And we are watching you, watching you
Stranger in a newborn land
Of formless Gods and warlock miracles
(All these fields of crows)
You should not reveal (From the American Gods)
The secrets of the American Gods
Just hold to infinity (No one cares for names)
You better bow down, praise the new lords
The secrets of the American Gods
Take a look at yourself
All behold, here's another trick
But now in light of hope and glory
It is time to close your eyes, I shall live
All sticks of the stem shall
Resurrect these moments gone
Contemplate desire
An eternal flame's burning down
Don't be scared, follow the plan
All lives can stream like birds singing
Behold your Father of violence
The one-eyed god is sad
I thought you'd know that
The greatest liar is telling you the total truth
I thought you'd know that
I'm your master
Stranger in an unknown land
Of roaring silence dead and miracles
(Bloody fields, bloody roots)
I will now reveal (For the American Gods)
The secrets of the American Gods
Just hold to infinity (No one cares for names)
The moment is right, you should cry out
The secrets of the American Gods
The American Gods
Yes, we travel all alone
A new play, a new scene
Dripping blood seals the deal
When we enter a new world
Stranded we're wandering
Time, time means nothing
To the American Gods
No more sorrows, praise the American Gods
You are burning, yes, you are burning
Or you must conquer your fear
You better save yourself
But now obey the American Gods
You better save yourself
Holy shirt!
If you look deeper to the meaning of this song, you would find a lot of references from a lot of things, "one eyed god", is one of this things, is a reference to masonry, but take in account the themes from Blind Guardian songs, it isn't also far fetch to picture the one eye god as Odin, and in fact cover art literally shows this, but you only get the meaning if you connect this.
Another point is that Christianity borrow a lot of concepts from other cultures, for instance, protestants picture the devil as a dragon, dragons are common in the nordic folklore.
Catholics actually have more in common with roman culture.
So you can definitely make a connection that God has aspects of all powerful ones gods from other mythologies, the Catholic God is more like Zeus / Jupiter.
I maybe speculating too much here, but damn, this made my brain get hot...
@@efxnews4776 well Erik den rödes son Leif Eriksson was the one to go to Vinland ergo America...:) And father of violence the one-eyed god is sad say is all.
@@Aethyrs it's mind blowing that i never thought this before!
@@efxnews4776 Borrow is the wrong word. "Stole" would probably fit better.
@@efxnews4776 The song is about Neil Gaiman's "American Gods" book. The reference to "one eye" is referring to Odin, who is a main character in the novel.
It really is impressive how much power Hansi is able to get singing while simultaneously looking as if he is not expending energy.
Diese Stimme, der reine Wahnsinn. Nach all den Jahren bekommt man immer noch nicht genug davon, da sie auf eine besondere Art und Weise unter die Haut geht! Eine meiner absoluten Lieblingsbands… ♥️
Time means nothing
To these metal gods
No more sorrows
Praise the Blind Guardian
After this couple of sinles music videos and also Instagram videos I have the feeling I can walk trough Twiligh Studios without getting lost and knowing where is everything :D Great song, by the way. I think it has At the Edge of Time and Beyond the Red Mirror vibes. Neil Gaiman must be happy with this nice tribute!
Harás un vídeo sobre estas canciones? Cuentan historias muy interesantes
It also sounds a lot like something from Kamelot's The Black Halo
Ahhh...here you are. Justo como esperé. Saludos Miguel. Esperaré el video de la trilogía de singles
Sospechaba que algo tendría que ver con ese fabuloso libro. Espero que puedas hacer un vídeo algún día, sería lo máximo!
Me uno a la solicitud de un video sobre estos temas
I love how light and effortless his singing is :-)
They better be nominated for all of the awards after this album. After all of these years and they’re kicking this shit out? Incredible!
Hm yes. But they are so boring.
@@giftsvampen ¿What do you mean?
I love how this band takes my favourite books and makes them into songs
They literally wrote the soundtrack to the Silmarillion, the Tolkien Bible
I can't say how much I love the voice of Hansi and the music of BG. There's only one band like Blind Guardian!
One of the most consistent bands out there
It will be so difficult to forget this chorus...
One of the best songs by them in years. It's amazing how in the studio setting they make all that sound look effortless.
I'll just be joining the majority opinion here: Somehow with these singles BG have managed to hit a sound that's both in line with their new stuff but also just familiar enough to have that distinct Guardian sound. Feels like home. Can't wait to catch these guys live.
These guys are the fucking bomb live, you wont regret it
@@juujaavituttaa Believe me, I'm stoked already. only a couple more weeks till the show ;)
I completely agree! It took me a while to embrace The Red Mirror, I had to let go of some things and give it a few listens, and just love The Ninth Wave now.
Most of these newer tracks, I just settle in, and it feels so familiar yet so new. They pulled of something not many artists or musicians can: blending of old and new without it feeling too contrived or forced.
Hansi’s voice master is def a big part of it.
You guys never fail to amaze me, after more than 30 years you're still making epic and melodic masterpieces. Also, Hansi's voice has aged very well, he still has that great and majestic voice. I see that you're using a tape for the recordings, will this be an analogue recording instead of digital? and will you use a master tape to cut the vinyl?
It indeed sounds awesome, I can't wait to listen to all the album on vinyl.
Yes, It's impressive how at his age he's still able to sing very well
@@feanor238 He has made sure to take intense care of it over the years. Going way further than most vocalists do to protect it.
meh who cares, it's absolutely smashed with a dynamic range of probably 6 or less. Nothing sounds "analogue" after it gets the typical modern mastering treatment.
"More than 30 years" is underselling it by now, these madlads have been at it since 1984, that's closing in on 40 by now. Grandmasters of the genre in every respect.
Damn, that's good! It's been too long since a new Blind Guardian song has given me chills from the vocals. Andre's guitar tone is instantly recognizable, as always.
A real classic Blind Guardian vibe on this one! Love it even more than "Deliver us from evil". I love the way the song is kinda "floating" during the chorus.....Well, I know what I mean lolll......Can't wait for the album!!!
I know what you mean, it's not a standard chorus for that reason and I dig it too!
The way he sing, "you should not reveal" is really interesting.
Here we are listening to another Blind Guardian's masterpiece. That intro, men! 💫
Some of the coolest music videos is just band members chilling in a studio!
It´s really nice to have them back in the style of the classic records, keep it that way
By releasing secrets of the American gods, Blind gurdian band members prove that they are timeless.
Das Album ist der Hammer. Man kann es hören und hören und hören. Ich bekomme nicht genug davon. Blind Guardian, the god machine, ein Meisterwerk
Such a unique and legendary band. Been following them since 1998. I discovered them while shopping for some new metal albums. I remember the shop owner was a huge, long haired and bearded guy, just like a bad ass biker! He recommended me to have a listen to BG. "Nightfall in Middle Earth" just came out and it just blew me away! BG is the first band that made me really appreciate all styles of metal as I was more of a thrash/death metal guy at the time. I have been following them and other power metal bands ever since. Long live BG! Thank you for making such great music!
I can't wait until this album is released! Seven years is a bloody long time, mates, but by the sound of things, well worth the wait.
This is One of My Favorite Blind Guardian Music of all Time.
Yes, Linda. One of my favorites Bands, too. 👍 🤘
Queen level harmonic layering in the backing vocals . Outstanding.
This music is just amazing! Hearing last year in Brazil was an absolute incredibly experience! Congratulations for the band to continue powerful and touching!
It's so amazing to see how it looks like Hansi doesn't even sing like crazy to get those epic vocals out of him. :O
Hansi voice!! omg getting better and better every year
The solo has to be one of their best solos of all time🔥🤘
Hansi is one of the greatest power metal singers. I like his unique style and delivery. His body of work is amazing
A great way to start the weekend.
I have tuned my air guitar and are ready to play along😎
Just found you today; I can't thank this band enough for their clarity in understanding. From the 'Rebel Alliance' Beenie, to every corresponding, perfectly crafted truth in lyric. 71 Days today, thank you for this universal gift. 🙏🧙♂️🗝️
It has the vibe of a classic Blind Guardian song to it. I love it.
Wow, these guys have given me absolute chills for going on 25 years now. So many bands that I loved in high school...it's almost heartbreaking to hear the stuff they're putting out these days. With Blind Guardian it's maybe even MORE breathtaking. True true professionals.
This band is fucking older than I am and they still go harder than soooooo many new bands.
Andre has such a sick sense of melody! It's always inspiring to hear his parts. The way he combines his Brian May influences with the Kirk Hammett wah pedal never gets old.
he still has a lot of power in that voice. Love this part
Take a look at yourself
Oh behold, here's another trick
But now in light of hope and glory
It is time to close your eyes, I shall live
Blind Guardian best band power metal forever.
A CHARISMATIC VOICE....FOR A CHARISMATIC BAND.
Круто! Слушаю и обожаю вас уже очень давно. Неповторимый ни с чем стиль и голос. Творческих удач вам мужики. Респект из России. Рок всё победит!
Somehow Hansi's voice brings so much energy even after a long tiring day that I almost want to grab a sword and shield and dive into battle!
The German Gods of Metal! Great stuff!
Blind Guardian, thank you for existing.
Every time I listen to this song I get incredible emotions on a musical level ... the vintage instrumentation .... but above all what one feels in that moment, a magical moment in seeing, hearing and seeing one's ideas realized in a song !!
Simply Thanks Guys!!! Davide G.
Красивейшая, многомерная хард симфония! Как всегда на высоте!
LONG LIVE THE BARDS! LONG LIVE BLIND GUARDIAN!
this band is like a wine, the older the better
Спасибо! Отличная команда!👍💥🎸
Perfect song, my eyes are teary, love the Guardians of The Blind ❤️
The best music i've heard in 2022 so far!
One of the greatest bands in the world today. Period. All the love, admiration and respect to BG... never disappoint!
Still Have Your All Album CD's, Some Cassettes, Merch & Hat Too. Worth Buying. Still Playing Those Albums CD's In 2022 March.
I hear this band soooooo many years and evry song there are better and better, don't stop to be the best Metal Band from Germany
My dudes having so much fun with this!
Beyond the Red Mirror but with a far better mix and thus much more epic! Now I am really stoked for the album holy moly
EDIT: Forgot to mention the beautiful solo!
Agreed! Happy the mix is better this time around
Over 20 years and still setting the bar sky high, these guys just don't miss!!! I love Blind Guardian so much 🖤🖤🖤
I feel bad for saying that Deliver Us From Evil, Blood of the Elves and this song were my first songs by this band. His vocals are just incredible, the way he sings in the video almost doesn't look like he is singing loudly.
日本来日お待ちしております🇯🇵🇩🇪🇯🇵🇩🇪
昔と変わらない曲調で嬉しい。
アコースティックバージョンも楽しみにしてます。
this song is EPIC AF, this album is EPIC AF, this band is EPIC AF !!!!
hard times. good music.
The quality of their music is outstanding, the power and passion of Hansi's voice simply mind blowing, the metal will never die with artists like BG, one of the top singers in the history and still delivers a massive performance, live shows is pure cream and delighful stuff for the ears, Metal Monsters !!!
And the award for most magnificient chorus goes to this one!!!
No words neaded.. Just another great song from a great Band that never.. I mean NEVER!! do a bad song.. I can't wait to enjoy another of your Show's in Verona (IT) 🇮🇹
Please play it when you come at Greece for the tour !!!
Hansi has always been amazing and a god himself. He is a god of power metal. His voice is commanding and powerful. The band has never lost its touch. I truly love this.
Agree!
Yeah, absolute vocal god for sure, he sound just as damn good after all these years!
Love you so much, guys. Thank you for preserving your unique sound - you cant find anything like that nowadays.
Oh yeah. You did it again. This one also gave me some vibes of old albums and increased my excitement to see what comes next. Love you guys, keep rocking.
That song could have been a missing track from the album "A night at opera"
Blind Guardian is still amazing
As always, you guys are amazing. I can't think of an original song of yours that hasn't blown me away
Hansis voice ages like fine wine. Cant wait for the album 🤘
its always good to hear Blind Guardian. Always trying new stuff and never giving up.
Always cool guitar riffs and epic feelings.
Beautiful, beautiful music!!! Bards live on forever!!!
Everyone is chilling and having fun on 2:42. I like that. They're like "yeah, we're professionals, but still watch us having fun while we record our professional music video". Now I'm curious about behind-the-scenes footage, that would be interesting to watch.
Not having very nice days lately, but thanks Blind Guardian, my favourite band, for giving me strength to keep going!
Wow. These guys are still awesome to this day.
Love you people!!!!!! Stile Voice - all ust Great!!!!Tnx
Outstanding.
Just the elixir i needed. Everything is better when you magnificent bards release new material unto us worthy subjects.
Genuinely the best metal band on earth right now.
Damn this is amazing. Relentless from the word go. And Hansi’s voice as strong and clear as ever.
I love how Hansi is like the most normal looking dude, but he can just bust out those majestic vocals like nothing!
Legendary Band still making Awesome music👑👍👍
Этот голос возвращает в школьные времена. Ностальгия 100-го уровня
Classic Blind Guardian sound! Love it! And love you guys!
Once again proving why are they the best band in existance. This is some Beyond the Red Mirror on steroids and the production has never been that good. Outstanding
A fine Power Metal tune from this evergreen (virtually eternal!) German band. They sound better than ever. The production is the star of this one - absolutely outstanding! A truly superb mix with every track used to the fullest - there's so much going on all at once, and you can hear everything crystal clear. Whoever mixed it, Halestorm and Slash should be smashing the door down to hire him after the absolute pig's ear they made of the production on their latest uploads.
A big thumbs up for everything else - melody, musicianship, arrangements, tempo. It's the production however that raises it above the average. My Score: Good 3*
Joost van den Broek did the mix.
much better than the last (non orchestral) album mix indeed
@@nickthomasson *sir Joost van den Broek
I have to completely disagree. Yes, it's all somehow put into place, but it misses so much of the aggression that makes metal great, that made releases like Follow the Blind great. The guitars are turned to mush, the vocals are layered beyond reason and the whole thing sounds like any metal song from the last years, and I don't mean that in a good way.
I wonder what they would put out if they recorded a song nowadays with only 1 vocal track and no orchestral instruments.
@@bleblo13 yeah I liked at the edge of time but pretty much nothing all that much since nightfall
The God Machine is a Masterpiece.
Ficou uma mistura de At the Edge of Time e Beyond the Red Mirror. Épico sem ser enjoativo. Adorei!
E já saiu?
Vazou 🤭 Tô ouvindo desde cedo
@@alinebarbara9827 onde? Como? Preciso 🤣🤣🤣
Pra mim ficou estranho som da banda a partir do A Twist In The Myth. Não quer tenha ficado ruim, mas prefiro a pegada dos álbuns antigos.
Uma pitada de Nightfall tbm...
Great song! Long live, Bards!
This song is a fkng mediator for the strings of the soul!
Powerful. The technique and structure of the song are perfect. The vocals are unique, rich, strong! The music is a masterpiece.
My soul and my ears got an unforgettable musical orgasm! This song is definitely included in my top songs of all time!
Thank you, BG! Hail from Russia🤟
A theme song was the only ray of sunshine in the dark kingdom of the "American Gods" show... And the guys looks were inspired by it, great song!
nachdem das Konzert jetzt 2x verschoben wurde, ist der neue Song natürlich ein wunderbarer Vorgeschmack wie es dann sein wird
Respect, this is true music!
Der Song ist super, aber das war zu erwarten. Was mich richtig umhaut ist die Produktion. Kristallklar. Das solo sticht besonders hervor. Geiler klang.
