Dude wasn't using auto tune or any of that bullshit on his voice. And the production is totally raw. How it should be. Not the overproduced shit we hear now. I'll always love Arch...no matter how many people rip on him. Pure talent and unique.
Arch will always be my favorite! His ability to control where he wants his voice to go during a composition,plus his harmonies,to me,will never be matched! The mans voice just speaks to me.
When the stars are right, and you're alone Take a journey, lock the world tight Out of your mind The hall beckons your presence, the doors Open wide you're to decide to turn back. Deep the bowels of this black abyss Compelled I just can't resist it, take me [Chorus:] Take me away take me away I want to know what's deep within Take me away Drawing near someone passes through me A silent entity never looking back I won't dare Evil eyes staring through the walls of stone As I feared I travel not alone Laughter echoes with the blatant wind I have passed the threshold deep within me [Repeat Chorus] A voice of thunder said turn back Tabernacle is forbidden No mortal dares to enter here I want to know Flame is burning, center of a fountain yearning, water Spring eternal, spiritual water physical fire Above center is sky, cold cold neverness Just vastness filled with stars upon stars In the four corners of life are the golden mirrors Reflecting what you are and what you are to be In the first is a young boy white dove in His hand, in the second is a warrior in armor, In the third is the old man, gold watch In his hand, fourth and last No reflection at all No reflection at all No reflection at all Waters rise towards physical fire, voice says Tabernacle is forbidden never looking back, I won't dare If the water touches the flame Forever in darkness yes I'll remain White dove flies from the young boys hand Through the mirror of the old man, only way out [Repeat Chorus]

This is a great song. I also really like Epitaph, Damnation, and Fata Morgana. Nothing else like Early Fates Warning with John Arch on vocals. Very taleneted musicians as well.
This is very very good. I remember looking at the vinyl in the early 80s at the record store but bought the Master of Puppet and Metal Church albums (both because of the cover cause I didnt know the bands then)
that's kinda crazy, the first time i heard them in River's Edge i was hooked and fiending for more. went through every band i didn't know in the credits to find them
Don’t know why the knock on arch’s vocals he was better then most of the trash coming out at the time for vocals. Atleast he sounded real and had balls. While I love queensryche malice ect they had cheese to them arch has more of a fuck you sound and I love it
I think Arch is, 1. Maybe not everyone's cup of tea, or 2. Arch is an aquired taste. First time I heard Arch was when I bought Awaken the Guardian. On first listen, I had an almost WTF is this violent reaction. ....Then, I listened to the whole album two more times, and by then I was a lifelong fan.
It's an obscure vocal I was influenced by John Arch and Graham Bonnet and I use to hear that people either though I was great and others thought I sucked
sometimes i get really mad that one of the best singers and definitely best and most imaginative lyricists to ever come out of the states got fucking dropped. imagine the world where john went on with fates warning. we could have had a real metal scene and not just the odd gem in a sea of cronies
Reflecting on the many mail boxes that fell while this tune was blasting in the car , lol. Arch is still my favorite of all time... the DT BS is just that man , BS ( they chose wrong ).
Effin love this song... I played drums for a heavy metal band and bands like this gave lots of drum experience... not sorry to say ladies loved my fugly ass.....
Yes sir first time hearing this song on the radio on a clear night lol radio waves were aligned lol because I lived in kingsville tx and heard it on kiss radio station San Antonio TX . Way back in the day . ❤
I agree with some comments Prog Rock, well more Prog Metal, but the vocals are not the greatest but the riffs make up for the vocals. Alright song not the best, but still Prog Rock / Prog Metal is the genre.
It takes a lot of time to get used to the vocals, they are the most progressive aspect of the early fates warning albums. I know that in the beginning his melodies just sound like a random collection of notes, but after some time you start to "get" his vocal style, and eventually you will like it. He is one of the best singers out of this period, in my opinion

He should've been lmao. Bro is horrible this is his best song in his career

When the stars are right, and you're alone
Take a journey, lock the world tight
Out of your mind
The hall beckons your presence, the doors
Open wide you're to decide to turn back.
Deep the bowels of this black abyss
Compelled I just can't resist it, take me
[Chorus:]
Take me away take me away
I want to know what's deep within
Take me away
Drawing near someone passes through me
A silent entity never looking back I won't dare
Evil eyes staring through the walls of stone
As I feared I travel not alone
Laughter echoes with the blatant wind
I have passed the threshold deep within me
[Repeat Chorus]
A voice of thunder said turn back
Tabernacle is forbidden
No mortal dares to enter here
I want to know
Flame is burning, center of a fountain yearning, water
Spring eternal, spiritual water physical fire
Above center is sky, cold cold neverness
Just vastness filled with stars upon stars
In the four corners of life are the golden mirrors
Reflecting what you are and what you are to be
In the first is a young boy white dove in
His hand, in the second is a warrior in armor,
In the third is the old man, gold watch
In his hand, fourth and last
No reflection at all
No reflection at all
No reflection at all
Waters rise towards physical fire, voice says
Tabernacle is forbidden never looking back, I won't dare
If the water touches the flame
Forever in darkness yes I'll remain
White dove flies from the young boys hand
Through the mirror of the old man, only way out
[Repeat Chorus]
ποσο δυσκολοι στιχοι για μενα
This great band (lineup) was popular when I was a young teenager and I still listen to them.
Know this track for years but just recently it got me how insane it is. Pure perfection!
One of the best lyrics I ever read.
what does the letter talk about?
@@yahirjosueostosjimenez1829 I believe it's about your struggles and experiences and finding your inner self.
What a marvelous song this is.So much technique in it.
....and feeling, at the same time. Rock on, bro', God bless!!! ❤❤❤😊😊😊
@@MauricioRomero-cz8bp Yes, keep metal , from Greece!

This song is easily on my Rotten Roby's top favorite 1000s songs of All-time around 20s
Arch was awesome and still is. He just puts so many lyrics in a short span. See Arch/Matheos. He is brilliant but whoa.
Immer wieder geil - seit so vielen Jahren!
First Comment : The Best of Metal Blade !!!!!!!!!!!! Very very good, Beautiful lyrics !!!!
Great song... touches the depth of my soul.....
love this band!
Probably one of the best if not the best track by Fates Warning.
my favorite from them.after damn near 40 years...still my favorite...it still kicks ASS!!!
looking today at all the past dics of FW and this track is for me an "hymn" take me away take me away !!!!!
This is a great song. I also really like Epitaph, Damnation, and Fata Morgana. Nothing else like Early Fates Warning with John Arch on vocals. Very taleneted musicians as well.
amazing band!
Deep classic.
Beautiful song !!
In Rotten Roby's top 50 favorite songs of All-time
Cue the campy radio jingle singers: "It's Rotten Roby's-Rotten Roby's-Rotten Roby's----TOP TEN!!"
masterpiece
I lo e you❤! My fave fatez song!
Me encanta esta época de Arch
A toda madre o un desmadre... Fates Warning está chingón carnal.....
AWESOME
True "heaviness". This f**kin crushes !!
Currently, humanity "this" To be between the third and fourth mirror, of the descending cycle
This is very very good. I remember looking at the vinyl in the early 80s at the record store but bought the Master of Puppet and Metal Church albums (both because of the cover cause I didnt know the bands then)
The first Metal Church? All three, super Excellent choices.
Perfection
Excelente album!
I always thought that Artch tried to sing as many words as he could in any given song. It takes a while to get used to.
that's kinda crazy, the first time i heard them in River's Edge i was hooked and fiending for more. went through every band i didn't know in the credits to find them
Ojala pongan el album totalmente remasterizado
Gostei muito desse som

Unspeakably good.
Still one my favorite songs.
I remember blasting this in HS….🤘

2 have no reflection at all
I perfer Fates over Queensryche, Dream Theater and Tool
Because it clearly is
I prefer Lana Del Rey over Marina
and Crowbar and C.O.C. over Panfuckingtera bread.
Nice 👍
... me too
Effin love this song... I played drums for a heavy metal band and bands like this gave lots of drum experience... not sorry to say ladies loved my fugly ass.....
Arch the best!
No reflection at all....
Rick Mythiasin
Bruce Dickinson
