Sonata Arctica - It Won't Fade (Live Wacken 2008)

It Won't Fade
You borrow the moment, betray your own heavens
The darkness is thickening, breathing gets harder
The balance is off, some take more than give back,
the attitude, too ignorant, proved to be fatal
for that tiny spark that led our way
you poisoned the air, should you stay away, hence
Wish to be one of us, follow the trail
Take the time offered, don't toss it away
travesty, no trial, defendant is guilty
and we are the judges and sentence the jury
to pay for forgiveness with silent contentment
Stand in the line with the rest of us
We cannot carry you further today
hear what you don't say, thus help... in any way
Need you to learn how to cry without darkness
Face like the others the pain that is harmless
Feel the world has let you down
somehow, we cannot see this
Have to bear the winterburn
You can only wait, if it will fade with time
Secrecy, silence, a stench of treason
the glow of the darkness, you brought in the daylight
The cure will not kill you, there's no such mercy.
rules of the nature are fair and cruel...
we cannot wait for you, for limbo, forever
don't make us walk away, packs stay together
Fear would be justified. Will be there soon.
The things that you do will infect us too
Feel the world has let you down
somehow, we cannot see this
Have to bear the winterburn
You can only wait, if it will fade with time
Where's your trust, where's your heart, where's your soul?
Who's your friend? Who'll be there in the end?
Who do you call a friend...
should we start to bewail?
a lot of things are changing
and re-arranging
I have to say I saw it coming
yet did nothing...
In the darkest of times
B.o.B's earn the right for the name
Not all shared the idea to give you the chance to
fail us again, to bite off
the feeding hand...
counting one, two...see?
odds defying the gravity...
we'll move along, well fed puppy...
you are too confident and careless to cut it
had no rules, that is to change
or you'll forever run alone
but you never will, the little child of the wild
you've got a skin, gray coat, they hate
no, you cannot hide behind your glowing eyes
you bear the sign and it won't fade
Feel the world has let you down
somehow, we cannot see this
Have to bear the winterburn
You can only wait if it will fade with time

Ni la conocía y de pronto a medida iba avanzando en un momento cuando gritó, me dije , pero que demonios es ésto!!!!?? Excelente por cierto !!!

The scream Tony does at 1:44 is awesome. He should do a full album with screams with full HQ sound from like 10 to 20 seconds. He also could’ve collaborated with Hansi Kursch, Chester Bennington, and Jacoby Shaddix because they both scream.

WHAT THE FUCK TONY??
Those screams are amazing

[@manuelmolgado4466]

Personalmente creo que esta canción habla del amor, respeto y resentimiento de Tony hacia Jani por todo lo que paso entre ellos.

Meravigliosi

Fantastici

Pariah's Child is my perfect Sonata Arctica album personally, but it's still great going back through their catalog and finding other songs that are compatible. I think there's slightly more than 30 that fit really well with my tastes, this is definitely a great song. Played pretty well live, though I'm always gonna prefer the great sound and production on the album haha. I really respect a powerful/grandiose-yet-restrained voice like Tony has on the records
Who do you call a friend
Should we start to bewail?"
The nuance of the delivery on the studio version is so much more impactful to me than the way he delivers it live here, for example

Unia is such a great album, for me, is their best. I'm a great fan of all discography btw, each album has awesome moments.

I'm not a very fan of Elias at all, but i have to bite my tongue and say that he was actually doing pretty well in that time

[@oscarbarquincaloca5762]

This album was recorded by Jani on guitars. After this Sonata guitars started to suck. Its a pity because they were a band with a particularly great guitar tone

[@Punttipate62]

@@oscarbarquincaloca5762 the guitars haven't sucked lol

[@thelonespecter]

If Elias doesn't do that much in Sonata, that's because of Tony...
