The Gadfly
Another socialite elected in to reign
Another gross injustice suffered to enable
This olden postulation bred by disdain
The moral of a mighty fist must be forsaken
They live their lives concerned with subjugation
Useless in their own naivety
And for honor
I'll make them look into the mirror
How do you sleep at night entangled by these chains?
The unexamined life is hardly worth the labor
So many questions sleeping soundly in your head
It takes a thoughtful mind to answer them instead
For though you claim to know the truth
Surrounding your existence
To know that you know nothing makes you wise
So I'll play the role of the gadfly
As I continue to find
My way towards the light
Of virtue and grace
I learn to embrace
This momentary life
For everything I've realized
Will aid me, assuage me
For the day I die
Undaunted by sentence to go towards the river
I walk like a soldier to war
No promise of freedom can ever be made
For my prison will always remain in life
So with honor and valor my ally
I'll play the role of the gadfly
Make certain my legacy
As moral compass, I fight
To sway the minds of the titled on high
And with a sip of this blight
I will uphold what I know is right
For on this day, I die
I'll play the role
I will uphold
I'll fight the good fight

As a Greek i was really surprised to hear my native language and my history be honored in that way and it was glorious.
Thank you for the amazing music you make.
Ancient Greece is the ultimate inspiration for true metal.
They guy with the Flying V has improved a lot, that solo was classy.
Hey, thanks pal!
Fantastic - Added to the Ever Metal UA-cam and Spotify Playlists
That bridge is sick.
Introduced through a classmate. Luv it!
Big props to Jason for that riff at 3:08. Immediate head banger 🤘💀🤘
Power metal and ancient Greek philosophy? Oh hell, yes!
Nice! I have some high hopes for this album. 🤘
Impressive as the rest of the album so far!!

I've listened to/watched this one several times now and it just keep getting better.
Excellent music and excellent video.

Absolutely beautiful and powerful
Just heard about this band like a week ago and already loving it. Great expectations for the new album, surely it will be AWESOME
Awesome song! Super stoked for the new album!
I found you guys shortly after the first Life Finds a Way video came out, and I'm very glad I kept listening.
Socrates, what a great man was
I've got to admit that I didn't like when Mary joined Helion Prime. Back then, I thought she didn't fit very well in the band and, I don't know, I just didn't like her, for no reason at all. But nowadays, I just LOVE this woman and I can't imagine someone better than her to be the lead singer of this band. And not just that, besides the fact she being the singer of a band that I love, I admire her as a person and as a professional with a great history in heavy music. For me, personally, she's in the top 3 best female singers of metal. You're awesome, Mary!! Cheers from Brazil!! 🤘🤘
Thank you!! 🙌🙌
Great job everyone! Love it! (Signed up for the mailing list.)
congrats again on another great release

Stellar Song and epic visuals! Great job guys!
Very good!

Nice to see Mary Z here...!
So glad I found this band! Dig it!
Just wanted to let you know I shared this with the class I teach on Greek Philosophy
that's amazing!
Mary is a perfect fit.
WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!
I would love to speak of the "magic"...but I shall refrain. 😉
SHE IS AWESOME !!!!!!

muy potente
\m/ !! Mary Z !! \m/
Congrats, awesome guys..!!
\\m// ;-) \\m//
My favorite Paramore cover band!
🤘
This absolutely rocks
Socrates would have been proud =))
I Love Mary's voice since she was in Ottoman Empire ...
I can't speak for the whole album since I haven't heard it personally, but in multiple interviews they have been asked if she would be bringing her growling vocals to some new Helion Prime songs and she has generally said no. She does growl when they perform "Keep What You Kill" (from their first album) live, though.
@@BryonAutry thank you .... its a pitty but maybe growls don't fit in Helion Prime.... but who knows ... look at Unlseash The Archers, same style with few growls ;) ... but its just personal taste, anyway Mary's clean vocals ara amazing!
@@MadverasDrums I saw both bands together in 2019
😎👍😁🤟🎼☠️🖤🍻Smile. \m/ ' [-_-] ' \m/....Bye... Bottoms up and cheers...Stay loud, stay proud, stay heavy. Take care and be safe....... Love it great song greetings from Metal Monterrey, Mexico......
Awesome song! can anyone translate the Greek verse that starts at 4:57?
is the greek part from 4 55 the ending of the Phaedo dialogue?
The translation is of Socrates last words: “Crito, we owe a cock to Asclepius; pay it and don't forget.” Asclepius was the god of healthy, and the sacrifice of a cock was a normal offering of thanks for recovery from illness. Socrates believed he was cured of the disease of life, and was not frightened by his death.
@@voicehacks Thanks for confirming this to me!
totally in love with the philosophy-nerdiness of this. maybe yr next album can be based on plato and aristotle. here's one of my favorite songs ever. it's about aristotle (sort of). by an operatically trained goth singer (along with a venture bros creator) ua-cam.com/video/TosFu8qE8-4/v-deo.html
não gostei
This is awesome!
