Lyrics:
White walls, glisten
Empires, crimson
Aching within
Raging fire
Sovereign, asphyxiate
No conscience
A solemn state
Misguide, indoctrinate
Accepted long held views
When will there be a day when all of us
Trust in love and peace?
Burns bright for us
When will the long-held truth be cast aside?
Embrace our fellow man, no longer vilified
Radiant we'll shine
Heart and soul, one mind
Illuminating all
Answering the call
Decisions by which to act
Programmed, no turning back
Call upon a switch turned on
An ultimate price to pay
Weeping mother too late to cry
Hold the truth, can't ignore the lie
Time to look it in the eye
When will there be a day when all of us
Trust and know in love and peace
When will the long held truth be cast aside
Embrace our fellow man, no longer vilified
Radiant we'll shine
Heart and soul, one mind
Illuminating all
Answering the call
Fight or flight, both threatening
Hidden thoughts are deafening
Your guilt feeding the flame
Tearful knowing it's a lie
Desired might just past you by
Rituals your funeral pyre
Scars you can't erase
If you choose to face
There is beauty in us all
Walk the higher ground
There you will be found
The writing's on the wall
Will you wager your life?
Radiant we'll shine
Heart and soul, one mind
Walk the higher ground
There you will be found
Illuminating all
Answering the call
Answering the call

![Dream Theater - On The Backs of Angels [OFFICIAL VIDEO]](/img/n.gif)
15 albums later and they can still deliver songs of this calibre. We're fortunate to accompany them on their journey
it's a shit of a song victor. they are just trying to make some money before retiring
yes i like this travel!
Real passion in person
Mangini's work hit me hard. I experiences some crazy memories and moments with his work.
He inspired me to reach levels on the drums I hadn't previously reached.
In early 2010 I had quit an amazingly talented band. In 2011 they asked me to come back. When I did we started on a journey that saw us heading in a more prog direction. It was over by summer of 2012, sadly.
More recently, the band I'm in now I've been able to start bringing that element back.
I'm really going to miss Mangini.
danlc95...me too...he was/is fantastic
@@dplzkc6713- Thank you!
Daddy is back noob.
My favorite track on this album, an unforgettable chorus
I struggle to pick a favourite from the album, I love all of the tracks!
that's funny I forgot it 😆
It is my favorite track from both their two last albums...!!!
This song is like
Pull me Under
On the back of Angels
So catchy
*Breaking all illusion
@@ikiyoliving462outcry
Pull me under? really, it doesn't even hold a candle to pull me under.
Hard to believe it was 30 years ago I first heard the opening chords of "Pull Me Under" and fell in love with this band. That they can still deliver us songs like this is amazing :)
It's neverending
Not many bands have a start like that
Same here!! I finally saw them live in Mesa Az last year. Sooo great!!!!
23 years old I went to that song it blows me away there vary talented holy shit
Same here too. I was into Death Metal and didn't hear them until the 90s. A friend introduced me to them and was blown away.
Best song off the album, probably should have been a single
This and the Alien
For me this and invisible monster
And sleeping giant
@@vadesnow3675uma das piores músicas do DT de todos os tempos, para mim. Gosto é gosto.😅
For me its definitely the title song
Wish DT would do more official videos of songs of them playing it either on studio or stage.
Unthetered Angel is still my favorite DT "music video"
So true!
I think the same... one of the wonder things of this band is watch them playing
The random Petrucci cooking in the middle is just great
Precisely! I just said the same thkng
Yes, not a fan of these "videos". They just hire somebody to make a montage of clips that has nothing to do with the band.
Definitely my favorite DT song of all time from my favorite DT album. Glad I got to hear this song when I saw them for the first time in 2023.
As a guitar player Just listen to John's guitar tone, specially when he palm mutes. Dream Theater probably one of the few bands ever that connects past, present and future with their music. Highly talented and rated.
one of the rated bands of all time
@@coma39 top 5 bands of all time. Maybe top 3.
God himself.
@@whoisjuliano to you...
All their songs sound the same nowadays.
This is what Prog is about: Amazing music, incredible stories and inspiring messages, created and played by outstanding artists! One of their best!
We need more people spreading the message of “Trust in love and peace” and “Embrace our fellow man - no longer vilified!”
Bravo!
we need a new DVD playing these songs live!!!
Yass!!! We never got “The Astonishing” live DVD either! I I was there for that one, we need a DVD of it for real!
@@bassimprovjams3772: You stole my thought about "The Astonishing" LIVE release. I hope it gets released under the 'Lost Not Forgotten Archives' banner some lovely day. I'm most certain they must have recorded at least ONE show out of many on that tour. Criminally underrated album by DT in my honest opinion!
@@BreakingAllIllusions Somewhere I read that they have recorded an Astonishing DVD, but the record broke, got lost or something like that. It's a pity :(
@@bikekante: Wow, this is really shocking and sad if true. I never read anything like that in all these years though. Could you please share the source of this information? Thanks 👍🏼
Yep. Especially for those of us who will probably not get the chance to see them live again, like Australia.
One of the best songs on the album, classic DT feel!
Dream Theater finally sounds like Dream Theater.
The best song on the album for my taste.
I like the song... but classic DT feel?! Not even close.
How would you describe it?
@@diogobfonseca
I love Dream Theater! You are Aliens 👏🎶🔥👽❤️
when it comes to listening to DT, I'm always answering the call! 🤘
12 years ago, the first time I heard On the Backs of Angels was my encounter with Dream Theater. I can feel that vibes in this song.
Their music never gets old, but rather wears a newness that never changes!
Backs of Angels is already 12 years old? Geez i'm getting old.
Same here. Most people start knowing DT song is either spirit carries on or pull me under. But I first know DT song is On the Backs of Angels. Pure progressive metal
The first album with Mr Mangini on drums
What a great gateways t9 the band!
It's my favorite album of theirs, but I seem to have a preference for the "Mangini era" material and his version of the previous material.
My first exposure was Pull Me Under, which was awesome being a 15 year old kid in 1992! I often wish they had started with Mangini...
RADIANT WE'LL SHINE

(Song credited to Petrucci and Rudess, John probably wrote the lyrics)
terima kasih
This is why Dream Theater is the GOAT 🐐
Can't wait to seem them live again!
Answering the Call, Awaken the Master and A view from the Top of the World, my 3 favs of this album.... Can't wait to see them live playing these songs... I've seen them live 9 times already and can't wait to see them again.
Big sonic resemblence to On The Backs of Angels with that staccato keyboard sound! I love it ❤
this album is pure joy
Probably my favorite song from the new album.
New “old” album hahah
the alien as well
@@arthurfroes Yeah, a year and a half might be a bit much for "new". "Latest" is probably the right word.
@@thelategrategateor "newest"
I love this album
A band that NEVER misses the mark!
The Astonishing would like a word with you.
A Band that never misses the Mikes
Lyrics on point, relating to the situation in Europe, US, UK and nearly everywhere else as well. Time for hate and fear to take a backseat. Well done DT
So long as we are talking about the current conditions being shoved down our throats. That will never be accepted. Don’t read too much into it tool! They are Libertarians. Nuff said.
Please get James to write all the lyrics on the next album. The alien, answering the call, at wits end, viper king, out of reach were all outstanding lyrics wise for them
Listen to this everyday!!!
Incredible song! With love from UA 💛💙
Getting some "Schism" vibes from that opening riff. Great song, or should I say, another great song. DT is the greatest collection of performers.
Best Album after 'A Dramatic turn of Events'.
You misspelled their best album of all time The Astonishing, but this would be 2nd. Actually, 3rd, the self titled Dream Theater is better than that one. Oh, I meant at the time. The Astonishing is 1st for me, then 6 degrees, scenes, octavarium, black clouds, train of thought for my top 6 with probably Systematic Chaos 7th. The others aren't even top 7 for me.
Train of thought meets Scenes from a memory. Love it ❤❤❤
I carefully studied this song and made a cover And I can say with confidence that this is one of the best songs of the DREAM THEATER 😍
was on the swedish playing on annexet in stockholm this track was awesome and actually first time I heard it.
dream theater is just one of a kind
EPIC SONG - Perfect Sonic Production - Love the Melodys / Vocal Harmonies , and The PETRUCCI / RUDESS Solo is Stellar ….. 10/10
7:11 i love this part during live. It gave me braingasm and always blew my head off
Who's going to Dreamsonic ? I'll be in the Atlanta show can't wait
The best mix DT has achieved yet. This album just sounds phenomenal.
I agree!! They did a great job of capturing Myungs musicman Bongo!
Falling into Infinity was pretty fucking good too.
@@RetrOchannel FII was best-sounding one IMO.
@@RetrOchannel so was distance over time! I really love that mix! And self titled! Myungs bass was bad ass sounding in that one!
100%
Best track in the album deserved its own video, though it was kinda weird as usual, lol. I've already said this but this is the song that most brings me back to the 6 Degrees era. Absolute beautiful feeling.
Hell yes! U was thinking the same thing. That one small vignette in the end of 6 deg.
Yeah, great song but dumb video
❤one of my favorite Band.
Imagine any of the other Mangini DT albums with this production, it sounds sooooo fucking good!
Wow 😍
Great job. Namasteh.
Tenho sorte de estar numa geração que ainda tenho a honra de acompanhar as composições destes mestres ❤️🔥
We'll see you in July!!!
Amo esta canción y todas las del último álbum, pero esperaba mas del video ver a todo el equipo tacando, quizás con las imágenes entrelazadas. Bueno igual se agradece cualquier lanzamiento de DT!
Thanks!
That opening riff is so epic!! Similar to “the enemy inside,” i love the heavy, 7 string chugs Petrucci writes. Such a good album!!
This was the video that was playing in the background live, I remember it from your concert in Naples at January this year. Can't wait to see you guys another time in Italy
Loved their last album! And this song is fantastic. Come to Brazil pls!
I love the unison!
Thanks for the video 👍
Hi DT, Brazillllll

One of my favorites from Mangini Era.. amazing song
Gives me goosebumps everytime I hear that intro. So music into my ears. Also the best track of the album.
As always good sound and technical improvisation..and vocals is great on this song..
This is totally astonishing masterpiece. In a really good way.
Glad you clarified. Astonishing can mean many things
That's fantastic, man! The music is on fire and finally, the production and drum mix sound way better.
DT is my soul!

Awesome dude ❤
Amazing
This is great
Such a banger album!! It would be soooo cool if they remixed the other albums one at a time with Myungs bass in the mix like this! When they did the LTE 3 album Tony’s bass was sooo strong in the mix!! Myung will always be my bass god!!!!!🤘🤘
Unexpectedly

Amazing video for an amazing song by an amazing band! Love it!
Desde 1996 acompanho o Dream Theater, e eles sempre serão uma referência de som: Potente, técnico e melódico.
Somos 2! Acompanho desde essa data e até este momento é a melhor!!
Wow...... the melody of the voice drives me crazy!!!!!!
My favorite tune from the album!!!
These guys just get better and better! 🤘🤘🤘
Amazing music and clip video sir.
My favorite from the album. Thanks for releasing the music video🔥🔥
What is your least favourite then? In my case it might just be this one. Which means nothing by the way, as I love the entire album A LOT!
