FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE "THE FOOL" LYRICS
Die...of laughter in delight before a living dead
Victim into this masquerade, forgot who I am
This story is driving me mad
My life is hanging by a thread that is about to break
Suicidal tendencies burn inside the mind of this miserable man
Is it life? Is it death?
I don't give a s--t
Still...
Is it life? Is it death?
When you fool yourself
F----d
Bleed behind this painful mask I wear
I'm falling from a misleading grace
The life I dreamed is killing me
Stuck on the tightrope
Staring down to the void beneath
In imposed equilibrium
I stand swinging in my indecision
Uncompassionate result of a fearing existence
I don't care if my time has come
All I want is my liberation
Drunk, I make it through the night with spirits hand in hand
My soul must be anesthetized, I can't bear this pain
To my frustration engaged
Just like to get laid with the worst enemy I've inside
but I cannot change myself
No way to squeeze blood from the stone that I am
Is it life? Is it death?
F---k!
Is it life? Is it death?
When you fool yourself
Why?
Bleed behind this painful mask I wear
I'm falling from a misleading grace
The life I dreamed is killing me
Bleed behind this painful mask I wear
I'm falling from a misleading grace
The life I dreamed is tearing me down

that blend of metal and classical is addictive
Listen to Haggard!
This is nucking futs I love it.
+The Damn Beast I know that reference from some crew somewhere
+Justin Laidlaw I know, GODDAMN it's driving me insane... I think it's a reference from that one disney movie, damn, what's it called? His avatar gives a slightly nuanced hint...um, oh yeah, Beauty and the Beast.
+Justin Laidlaw Jake and Amir?
+brian kranegan It was from Dickie Robert's: Former Child Star with David Spade. It's his character's catch phrase when he was a child star.
What on Earth are you people going on about?
What I've always loved about Fleshgod is how they combine the sheer brutality of Italian Tech Death (à la Hour Of Penance, Carnality) with the epic orchestral melodies and such.
Sympho Death is hugely underrated in my opinion since there aren't many bands playing that respectful genre but I'm glad we have Fleshgod Apocalypse as one of its best known acts!
I recommend scepticflesh
@@salamanderavem3782 While I think they're fun to listen too, their songwriting is nowhere near the level of Fleshgod in terms of being super advanced for each instrument and increadibly technically creative...
Septicflesh is relatively basic metal mixed with epic orchestrals, whereas with Fleshgod the metal part itself is also written like a classical piece (the guitars are written like violins but distorted, tuned down to B and at tempos upwards of 250bpm) and the orchestrals are written in a way where they leave open these parts for the metal instruments to fill in. I could ramble on forever over how intriquette Fleshgod's songwriting (mostly on Labyrinth and King) is...just let me make clear I don't mean to belittle Septicflesh, they're rock solid, they're just more on the simple side and FG are exceptionally advanced.
I love Harpsichord on my technical death metal. This just gets better the more I listen
I would kill for a full harpsichord version, specially the intro.
@@octaviolee8282 There is an orchestral version on UA-cam and iTunes, maybe that will suffice ;D
If only I could hire these guys to play at my wedding. :|
Your wedding suddenly became a wall of death lol XD
I think it's just a matter of how much money you can pay;)
You can with the right sum of money
@@yogiyahya8341 I see that as an absolute win
Remember, speakers are a thing if you can't afford the live show
this is dope. the clean singer sounds so much better now. I feel like this is what he was going for all along
+Orville Redenbaucher It's because he isn't in full falsetto-mode for the entire album xD I love this though
I’m almost positive it’s a different guy lol, I just read a 2017 article outlining his return to the band
Finally some hints of counterpoint in metal, Monteverdi and Bach would be proud ;)!
+Mendel bij de Leij i bet L.v. Beethoven and Tschaikowsky would be proud too :)
+Mendel bij de Leij Counterpoint has actually been around in metal for quite some time. For example, check out Emperor's later work.
+aarongtr180 i know, but in death metal it's pretty rare combined with baroque flavours
+Mendel bij de Leij Anata is counterpoint king. The Conductor's Departure was an album almost entirely contrapuntally structured. Lots of others though, Jason Becker had some awesome baroque styled pieces in the 80's.
+Mendel bij de Leij Check out Spawn of Posession. They're technical death metal, but their song writer works almost entirely in advanced theory, and each instrument basically plays its own part (i.e. no "rhythm and lead", basically "left guitar, right guitar, and bass"). Apparition is they're most accessible song, but definitely also check out Scorched, No Light Spared, Bodiless Sleeper, The Evangelist and...screw it, just check out they're album Incurso.
first time listening to them. This sounds good.......Really good.
yeah all are great
+Giruga x Hakusho When I discovered them last year I was exclusively jamming their stuff for like a month :D
DO IT
+Giruga x Hakusho go to check "Mafia" and precisely the song called "Abyssal" she have the best intro i've ever heard
+Giruga x Hakusho And they have incredible live shows
+Giruga x Hakusho You should also check in "Oracles" the song "Embodied Deception". Im sure you are going to enjoy it.
The fool archetype is the most interesting. Although portrayed as a fool, he is the scapegoat of pointlessness portrayed by the all more serious other archetypes. The fool masquerades his internal conflict by humor. It is this conflict that runs deeper than all the others. A sense of hopelessness envelops the fool and there is no escape. But the fool is the most interesting because, in the end, in the present, and in the past, are not we all fools?
Thats why its the beginning and end of the Major Arcana
The "fool", i.e. the court jester, is also rather interesting in Shakespearean plays. In King Lear he uses a cynical mask of comedy to convey hard, blunt truths to the king that no one else would be free to.
Utterly beautiful comment chain. Well done.
Holy shit, finally a song that's not just tremolo and blast beats. Instant pre-order for the album.
This instrumentation and how they charge from the first opening intro to Harpsichord alongside arrangements and swift tempo changes. The sharpness and vocals never heard till now on their platters blow everything they did out of the waters. How will they top this platter!!! :) This is massive and was waiting for them to uncover their truest potential to embrace them 1000% They exceeded my expectations.
can't wait. every album is a masterpiece.
Me too
no, only the violation is. everything else sounds the exact same
***** Yes Bro you right!!!!
Deathmetal/grindcore is hard to make unique for sure, but check out this and the last record, very different sounds.
Rohann van Rensburg Yes Right
"Bleed behind this painful mask I wear
I'm falling from a misleading grace
The life I dreamed is killing me"
Those lyrics ring so hollow and poignantly accurate to life right about now.
Die...of laughter in delight before a living dead
Victim into this masquerade, forgot who I am
This story is driving me mad
My life is hanging by a thread that is about to break
Suicidal tendencies burn inside the mind of this miserable man
Is it life? Is it death?
I don't give a shit
Still...
Is it life? Is it death?
When you fool yourself
Fucked
Bleed behind this painful mask I wear

adampoke1000 lyrics are so good. this song is just great
at 0:57 I always hear 'I don't give a shit' lol
He says fuck a lot too. I feel he does it distastefully though.
+Mhaenal The Destroyer It's fuckin death metal.
ryanexsus Right? :D If you can listen to songs like The Violation, I'm sure a 'fuck' isn't too bad..
+Fuckyourselfgoogle actually I think he says I dont give a shyte
+Fuckyourselfgoogle If you look at the lyrics that's what he actually says www.metal-archives.com/albums/Fleshgod_Apocalypse/King/549315
These guys never disappoint me
They show much better heading towards clean mixing and defined elements of symphonic death metal. It is really important in this genre. If you fail the music becomes too much muddy and incomprehensible. Great job at lining the frames. Keep it up you guys are great!

Yes
First song by these guys I listened to, fell in love instantly!
Probably one of the craziest intros in metal history
Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Die...of laughter in delight before a living dead

Suicidal tendencies burn inside the mind of this miserable man
Is it life? Is it death?
I don't give a shit
Still...
Is it life? Is it death?
When you fool yourself
Fucked
[Chorus]
Bleed behind this painful mask I wear
I'm falling from a misleading grace
The life I dreamed is killing me
[Verse 2]
Stuck on the tightrope
Staring down to the void beneath
In imposed equilibrium
I stand swinging in my indecision
Uncompassionate result of a fearing existence
I don't care if my time has come
All I want is my liberation
[Instrumental Section]
[Verse 3]
Drunk, I make it through the night with spirits hand in hand

Just like to get laid with the worst enemy I've inside
But I cannot change myself
No way to squeeze blood from the stone that I am

The life I dreamed is killing me
Bleed behind this painful mask I wear
I'm falling from a misleading grace
The life I dreamed is tearing me down
push :D
Honestly, this is one of the best songs I have ever heard. What a way to start a new year of metal releases.
This should have been a lyric video.
And I am just now getting into this awesome band because...
you should listen to "the forsaken" and "the violation" by them !
I think I will
+Drew Daniel listen at Kingborn, that is their most epic this far imo
Kaya David Sosa ^^^ they have so man good songs
Martyrs Dawn The whole Labyrinth it's epic as fuck.
Powerful and supreme example of tasty symphonic metal.
Da italiano vi dico che siete tra i tanti gruppi metal italiani che dimostrate la grandissima e ricca varietà che il nostro Paese può concepire, creare ed offrire musicalmente parlando
Wow this is cool. First time listening too
+Clara Morais ...Yes, good sounds, gets better the more you listen, although I can imagine making it even better, butnow I'm just being animalistic and I'm sure that's not why you chose to comment here, so I'll go pray to Loki for moreself-control..
Have a nice day you too, gentlemen : ) Now shall we talk about the band? I think we should, for I am Saruwoman the White and I will curse all guys who are idiots to die sex starved.
Clara Morais I'm already cursed, how much worse could it get? :-) The band, yes, the band, they are very good, no? Some of their older stuff is even better IMO, but what would I know, being a male, and all.
+Clara Morais Saruwoman? Haha, such a name fits you, weirdly enough!
SpiritMolecule1 _I am a warlock!_ I can do pelvic sorcery!
Always amazing
This makes me want to throwdown in the ballroom
How have I not ever heard of this band before? THEY'RE AWESOME!
Loving the song guys!! Come back to India soon. I'll cook up some more Fleshgod Tangdi!!!
Love it! I can't wait for the album to be released!
Finally, good production. The guitars are the driving force of the music like they should be while the orchestral elements complement the music well instead of constantly competing for attention. If I had any complaints, though, it would be that the drums are too loud and drown out the piano at times. Otherwise it's a solid track and I'm excited to hear the rest of the album.
+Naruga Kuruga Drums are too loud? How can you even say that... Bassdrum triggers are way too low and the snare just disappears in the blastbeats.
+Naruga Kuruga actually the drums needed to come up at certain times.
As they "should" be.... if you're looking for something else it's one thing. People acting like they have a better grasp on what someone else id trying to create is asinine.
+Naruga Kuruga This is still Death metal. Drums>Piano
+Infernalord Right? Plus drums don't occupy much of the same frequency areas that piano does. if anything the snare's mids and kick's click are a tiny bit lost behind the massive wall of guitars & strings. But it still sounds pretty awesome :)
Great song. Great record. You accidentally had the whole album up on Bandcamp yesterday. It blew my fucking mind.
Also, it looks like there are a bunch of music producers commenting on this video. I didn't realize there were so many talented audio engineers out there. Could you please provide us with your resumes?
Jesus!! stop this shit already! why you people have always something to complain about? if the guitars are not loud enough, if the drums doesn't sounds very natural, if the orchestal parts are not very great. WHAT THE FUCK? When a band changes their sound everybody loses their minds "oh, I wish they were what they were" "I remember when they were good". But FA have not changed their sound, it's the opposite, they improved their sound in so many levels and this sounds fuckin' amazing, even the vocals sounds better than Labyrinth. I don't know how you people dare to complain about a production that sounds great. There's NOTHING to complain about. Do they changed their sound? Do they went generic? No? then STFU.
Theres always people who love to complain....its the same amazing fleshgod ive been listening to since thier debut, i loved every album they released, and at every release theres someone complaining...the sound, the guitar, the drum....everytime...and every albums has been amazing anyway, so let them cry as usual, that wont change anything, as usual
They improved or change the production sound on every album, but they stay the same music wise, and thats what counts for me
Fleshgod as been my favorite band for years and that wont change for me, im so happy theyre releasing another great album, i pre-ordered the digi-pack with the extra 10 songs....i cant wait!
+Erick Gaudreault YES MY FAVORITE BAND FROM ITALY
+Vladlens Razumovskis hour of penance. Nough said
+Mhaenal The Destroyer Hour of penance good band too:-)
+Vladlens Razumovskis there's also a lot of good bands from Germany as well! Obscura, belphegor, and a band no one has really heard of, called Der Weg Einer Freiheit. Best mix of tech death and black with ambience, bro.
Brutal. Powerful. Absolutely batshit insane.
Everything I hoped for from Fleshgod!
This is honestly one of the best FA songs yet. Listened to it three times so far, and it just sounds perfect in everyway
Amazing as usual!!!! I already pre-ordered the digi pack with the extra 10 songs!!! I cant wait!!!!!
The best composition from Fleshgod Apocalypse, so far. Absolutely amazing. Can't wait till I can buy the album *.*
god have mercy on me ... this is too good to be real
LOVE IT!!! Also the artwork for 'The Fool' is pretty awesome :D
epic! I've been looking forward to this so much. can't wait for the tour!
First band that makes me proud to being Italian
Too bad that you weren't already proud for Rhapsody.
Give Hideous Divinity a listen
You won't regret it
You've never heard of Jovanotti, have you?
come on listen to nanowar of steel
@@EisGlockner in these four years that have passed, I've had the chance to get to know them, meet them, and see them live twice. Great band
I'm always here whenever Fleshgod releases a new song, new album. From their demo days to where they are today, their significant sound and transition, experimentation of music is the reason why I am very drawn to the band. I never met the band live, and would love to in Singapore... Once again, you guys nailed it!
Sounds really good! Can`t wait to hear full album!
dude, that slowdown was genius. These guys... so good.
5 years later still slaps
It'd be wonderful to have the lyrics to this one.
these blast beats are awesome, we need more blast beats!
Loving it, cannot wait
Trop bien merci @leyouz de m'avoir fait découvrir ce chef d'œuvre
Mais de rien, ce fût un plaisir
YES THIS IS METAL!!!
I cannot wait. I really love Paolo's singing here. And Veronica is gonna be back awesome!
This was so good live. I want to go see them again!
OHHHHHH YEAAA!!!!! Great Song!!!! Can't wait for listen the full album!!!!! #HailToTheKIng
as epic as usual
Thanks for sharing this amazing piece of music and the great artwork!
i have to say, every raw lyric in this song is so fucking relatable to me, and it really helps me get through hard times in a cathartic way.
These guys, live....they are SO INTENSE HOLY SHIT. But then again they're also intense af on the Album lol
very tight track
Awesome track. Looking forward to the CD.
My god I can't wait to hear this album in it's entirety! Fleshgod are such a great band
Since nobody has seemed to say this, I'm congratulating Nuclear Blast with over 1 million subscribers! :D
sto venendo! come al solito siete i migliori. ORGOGLIO NAZIONALE!
Can't wait to hear all the new tracks live
Great! Can't wait for new album!
God damn i am going to break the repeat button
+Zachary Patten 😄 Just download an auto replay extension for UA-cam.
+Ǝʀɪɴ ᴎ haha done, i've been listening to this on repeat when i game xD
Their coming to New Orleans>>Sunday Nov. 27th.
Darn i wish i started to listen to them again earlier
i live over in mandeville that would of been great
this and obscura out on in a month. can not wait. going to be a great year
Amazing track. Can't wait to see them live next month.
This is fucking amazing!!!!!!!!
АГОНЬ!!! давно так не цепляла музыка!
+Роман Шестаков Я б сказал ХОРОШО
tendi meu gamigulo
+Роман Шестаков советую, до релиза, ознакомиться с их альбомами Agony и Labyrinth, если ты ещё этого не сделал) Там тоже оркестр, бешеные ударные и в целом жаркая атмосфера)
+T-114466 А еще Oracles и Mafia.
+ddemigod ну, там просто техникал дэт, без оркестра, хотя людям нравится)
Wow everything is so clear. I love the production on this album. :D
I just saw them last night and it was one of the best performances I've ever seen
These guys have seriously listened to some great baroque composers, the details in that composition behind all the metal noise is super cool
RABIN MIGUEL Metal noise? STFU!
No dignity.
When ICS Vortex lost weight, darkered his hair, moved to Italy and joined this band after left Dimmu Borgir?
If the rest of the album is as gorgeous as this is, I'm so buying it.
really refined sound, extremely energetic and catchy. love it
True gods of Death Metal \m/
Melodic Death Metal*
technical/symphonic death metal*
they never were melo death
+Daniel James lol they aren't even close to being a melodeath band.
hail fleshgod apocalipse from México
Absolutely fucking amazing. I love the older stuff but there's so much more structure and unity in this. Really excited for the album.
I cannot wait for this album!!!!
Wagner would be beyond proud to see what his style has borne fruit to.
1:08 FUCK ME BEHIND!
Anyone else hear that? lol
hahaha yeah. definitely not what is said though
Officially hyped. Can't wait to see em in March
this is so good. thanks for never disappointing me and even getting better
(listening to harpsichord) WTF? Rhapsody of fire? (afterwards) ah ok... Alright! I get it! You did a perfect job! Ok!
1:08 fuck MEEEEE BEHIIIIIIIND
hahahahaha
Brutiful!!!! Glad they're letting Paolo sing more!
Had to come again. Love you FA
Won't beat the violation, that song is fucking mental
I know we are supposed to come here because of the new Fleshgod Apocalypse song and I like it but... Does anybody know which song starts after their new song?
I think it's syphillis off the new album I could be wrong though
+Tubby Mclumpkins Than we wait for the new album an than we'll figure it out. Thanks anyway!
+Bálint Fesető Cold as Perfection is the next song on the album. The album was released on spotify yesterday, then got removed again after some hours. I got to listen to the whole album before it got removed. Really good stuff.
+kaffetrakter Since you listened to the whole album, which song is your favorite? I really like Mitra because it’s so dark. I can’t wait to read the lyrics. 🤘
+Ǝʀɪɴ ᴎ hard to say, but i like these three, the fool, and the vulture beholds, a million deaths
I can't wait. Killer!!
this shit sounds badass live such a great time seeing them live
I just had an accident in my pants.
same here dude 👦
+Lurch Murphy An "oopsie", perhaps.
Production could've been more "bombastic". Their previous efforts sounded much bigger and open. The music itself is good, though.
+Gabriel Martins (Inconfident) that could be the youtube quality.
+hefftatious yeah Im sure its the quality
+Gabriel Martins (Inconfident) To be honest I feel like this production is a big improvement for them, but it's all subjective I suppose!
I have a 320 bitrate copy of the full album and it's not just UA-cam.. the mix isn't as clear or cut through as well as Labyrinth, unfortunately..
+Gabriel Martins (Inconfident) Make sure you're using a good equalizer setting on your speakers/headphones. Makes -all- the difference.
Damn guys! Amazing work! Is what I was expecting for! Congrats!
one of my favourite vocalists.
Jus like a mama used to make!
Funny fact: The king was released on my birthday
production wise this is a lot better. the guitars and bass actually feeling like they are driving the music, instead of just static background noise.
