you sir have taste lmao i overlooked soldiers for sooooooo long heard it and stuff but idk it came on one day and i was like damn this is fire. been my favourite sense that day.
I first started listening to Dragonforce in 2007 as I was preparing to deploy to Afghanistan, this song has felt like the perfect description of my tour, and my life after. "Burning fires burning lives on the long distant roads; Through the lost mountains endless so far away from home; Warrior soldiers forever we fought long ago; We’re all lost in the darkness so far away from home" it's been nearly 15 years since I came home, several of my friends were not so lucky, some days things are great, other days I quite literally feel "Lost in the darkness, so far away from home" I love this song despite the emotions it stirs reflecting on that period in my life. Thankful for the music that helped me though a rough time, and continues to help me process what i've been through.
DragonForce - Sonic Firestorm - Soldiers Of The Wasteland Burning fires, burning lives on the long distant roads Through the lost mountains endless so far away from home Crossing battles, savage seas towards the mountains high Forest plains of wilderness we're striking out tonight On towards our destiny we travel far and wide Journey through the darkness as your hearts refuse to die In the flames of hell we fire at will the fires of doom has come With the forces of the blackest knights they're staring at the sun Far across the distant plains of ice we're searching for the sword When the time has come for battle now we follow with the horde We will ride with fire burning hot towards the night sky In the land of long ago forever in our souls Fly on wings of shining steel are burning so bright In ancient lands of warriors we're riding on again Burning fires, burning lives on the long distant roads Through the lost mountains endless so far away from home Warrior soldiers forever we fought long ago We're all lost in the darkness so far away from home Fallen soldiers taste the steel of death, the daylight dawning Sun will shine upon the lives of burning hearts of ice As you break through the boundaries of life this feeling of despair And they die in their sleep for the world that will not care You feel lost in this labyrinth of pain, this sickening dismay There's a voice inside that's calling another wasted day Can't you see the history, the suffocating madness? In the land of fallen souls there's nowhere left, no place to go I have traveled far and wide across this wasteland Still searching for the answers for the right to understand Burning fires, burning lives on the long distant roads Through the lost mountains endless so far away from home Warrior soldiers forever we fought long ago We're all lost in the darkness so far away from home Riding through the starlight and smashing the boundaries as hellfire falls from the sky Shadow of pain will arise from the ashes of those fallen ones who have died Our only master with fire and fury of hell will see his bidding done Blasting from high as the battle unfolds to the gates of the city we come We will ride with fire burning hot towards the night sky In the land of long ago forever in our souls Fly on wings of shining steel are burning so bright In ancient lands of warriors we're riding on again Burning fires, burning lives on the long distant roads Through the lost mountains endless so far away from home Warrior soldiers forever we fought long ago We're all lost in the darkness so far away from home
"I have travelled far and wide across this wasteland. Still searching for the answers - for the right to understand." I've always fucking loved this line.
Found an mp3 player in high school. Couldn't afford one so I kept it. Soldiers of the wasteland was on it. Not long later GH3 came out. Featuring through the fire and the flames. I knew at that point Dragonforce was my favorite band. A year later. My first concert in an area I grew up in I watched Dragonforce play live right after discovering another favorite Power glove. So this song is home for me. Thank you
0:48 I swear all I hear is the final area in OG final fantasy 7. And I’m here for it. All of it. If this was the soundtrack of that game I swear I’d be the one going in the crater cause this shreds!
Most people know "through the fire and flames" because of guitar hero, but this song was MY introduction to dragonforce and I've been hooked since 2010. Keep rocking guys
TTFAF made me a Longtime Dragon force fan, Soldiers of the Wasteland and The Fire Still Burns made sure of that. 6:45 has me feeling like a Phoenix Ablaze swooping down from the sky
When I first got into metal I loved this band for the speed. I've since become a fan of thrash metal so this seems much less extreme to me now. Today I appreciate dragonforce for their mixing of guitar and keyboards, and how each gets some awesome sounding leads and riffs
This track always goes down in my mind as what was playing at our D&D table when we stole an airship to assault a mountain fortress dodging ballista bolts and crashing into the tower at the peak of the mountain
Toutes mes aspirations musicales en une seule chanson. C'est après avoir écouté cette musique que j'ai su qu'il fallait que je fasse moi-même de la musique. AWESOME GUYS !! and Thank you
I introduce myself to this band when i hear their song called "fury of the storm" and then it made me curious so i listen more like the game, cry for eternity, cry thunder and so on. But one of their song catch me, it is called valley of the damned. When i first hear that, i knew myself that i'm a fan now. That song is the perfect song to end a concert.
This song makes me feel like one of my ancient ancestors who is Irish fighting alongside William Wallace in Scotland against the English rule and I remember after the battle was over and Wallace had lost our family's name was in disgrace and we had to leave for America.
Soldiers of the Wasteland is my most played DragonForce song. It's also the only song I've attempted to play on Rhythm guitar. It's just awesome, especially that slow harmonic midsection
Mesmo sendo a 2ª maior música do DF, parece q o tempo passa voando. E quando termina, sinto uma impressão de um vitória conquistada na minha vida. Música linda pra caralh0!🤘🤘
@@zoiossauro_6665 AND there's this method where you can figure out what somebody is saying. Google can sometimes accurately translate entire sentences. It's a copy-and-paste thing, it's not even difficult.
i have to get this off my chest because it keeps tormenting me: i keep hearing 2:19 as "ancient land of Warios" and i'm always picturing an epic battle against two legendary armies but all the soldiers are Wario. help me.
Right Herman li and the talent of everybody in the band …. But bro do you hear the mixing on all dragon force songs …… one crispest thing I’ve heard in ever
I just think the video being edited to zoom in and out is amusing. They didn't have to do that, it doesn't really change or add anything, and yet they did it anyways.
I think those are called Ticco Blocks. I'm probably wrong but i remember having those back in H.S. band. Believe that they are the wooden version of tuned bells
I remember it clearly. I was six years old, playing Zelda: Skyward Sword for the Wii. I was about to enter the Demise boss fight. Then, I hear this song off my dads phone. DragonForce is easily one of my favorite bands ever. Only Tied with Rise Against
As a Dream Theater fan, I get tortured by ads in the middle of songs that I end up using up all my skips on Spotify free to listen a song. Also, if you don’t know, Dream Theater songs are VEEEERY long, but VEEEEEEEERY good. Best band imo, but I really like DragonForce because they are like a combination of Dream Theater and Metallica which are my two favorite bands.
Through the fire and flames introduced me to DragonForce. Soldiers of the wasteland made me a fan.
Same here dude
This feels weird, because it’s the exact same for me man
Same introduction, but my song was Valley of the Damned.
you sir have taste lmao i overlooked soldiers for sooooooo long heard it and stuff but idk it came on one day and i was like damn this is fire. been my favourite sense that day.
OP -> same on me!

Thank you for your service, sir *salutes*
Ahhh yes, the horde invading a foreign land looking for the sword i.e. rare earth minerals. Very good analogy.
You remind me of my dad. He listened to this in combat
Thank you for your service! 🫡🫡🫡
You went throght that babtism od fire... Yet IT suits you 💯
5:05 love it
The rhythm guitar at 5:07 reminds me of horse galloping, kind of like in the ancient wars.
@@JustARandomPersonLol69420 It reminds me of Running Wild.
DragonForce - Sonic Firestorm - Soldiers Of The Wasteland
Burning fires, burning lives on the long distant roads
Through the lost mountains endless so far away from home
Crossing battles, savage seas towards the mountains high
Forest plains of wilderness we're striking out tonight
On towards our destiny we travel far and wide
Journey through the darkness as your hearts refuse to die
In the flames of hell we fire at will the fires of doom has come
With the forces of the blackest knights they're staring at the sun
Far across the distant plains of ice we're searching for the sword
When the time has come for battle now we follow with the horde
We will ride with fire burning hot towards the night sky
In the land of long ago forever in our souls
Fly on wings of shining steel are burning so bright
In ancient lands of warriors we're riding on again
Burning fires, burning lives on the long distant roads
Through the lost mountains endless so far away from home
Warrior soldiers forever we fought long ago
We're all lost in the darkness so far away from home
Fallen soldiers taste the steel of death, the daylight dawning
Sun will shine upon the lives of burning hearts of ice
As you break through the boundaries of life this feeling of despair
And they die in their sleep for the world that will not care
You feel lost in this labyrinth of pain, this sickening dismay
There's a voice inside that's calling another wasted day
Can't you see the history, the suffocating madness?
In the land of fallen souls there's nowhere left, no place to go
I have traveled far and wide across this wasteland
Still searching for the answers for the right to understand
Burning fires, burning lives on the long distant roads
Through the lost mountains endless so far away from home
Warrior soldiers forever we fought long ago
We're all lost in the darkness so far away from home
Riding through the starlight and smashing the boundaries as hellfire falls from the sky
Shadow of pain will arise from the ashes of those fallen ones who have died
Our only master with fire and fury of hell will see his bidding done
Blasting from high as the battle unfolds to the gates of the city we come
We will ride with fire burning hot towards the night sky
In the land of long ago forever in our souls
Fly on wings of shining steel are burning so bright
In ancient lands of warriors we're riding on again
Burning fires, burning lives on the long distant roads
Through the lost mountains endless so far away from home
Warrior soldiers forever we fought long ago
We're all lost in the darkness so far away from home
I must say, its too short
"I have travelled far and wide across this wasteland. Still searching for the answers - for the right to understand."
I've always fucking loved this line.
Me too and the melody in particular just made me feel a certain way I can’t explain too.
"Burning fires burning lives on the long distant roads. Through the lost mountains endless so far away from home"
A lyrical line during the ZP years that wasn't total nonsense? Color me surprised
Respectfully, these mid-roll ads gotta go. Can't jam out properly if an ad pops in right before the guitar solo.
One of my favorite “long songs” by Dragonforce! Take me on a journey
One of DragonForce's longest and most epic songs. I miss ZP Theart man.
DUDE, ME TOO!
Absolutelly
Just not the same without ZP or Dave. Might be reaching but I’ve always felt Dave belonged up there with the greats like Peart & Moon.
Saw Peart in 2012 before his departure
it needs to be longer
The bridge deserves its own song.
It’s like the interlude in Metallicas's “Orion”.
This is my favorite Dragonforce song. Longest song and solo! God I miss ZP on vocals.😆🤘
Bah
Longest song is The edge of the world
I think the solo is too long and repetitively against the last journey home for example. Awesome song anyway, miss ZP too
@@mickromash It’s not the solo that is long. It’s the intro and the bridge before the solo that’s extra long. The solo technically starts here 6:34
@@mickromash if you don't like long songs and long solos, then what are you doing listening to DF?
Burning fires burning lives on the long distance road : *Starts playing*
Me : *Getting chills remembering how good this song is*
Through the lost mountains, endless so far away from home :
every line is so good in this song
We all get those chills
Burning fires burning lives on the long distance road : the choir always gets me. Its the perfect opening line for live concert
This song blaring in the background while fighting Radahn is an absolute experience.
My mother used to listen to Dragonforce and years and generations later, here I am listening to soldiers of the Wasteland ❤🤘 Dragonforce forever!🤘
You gotta understand, Officer; Dragonforce came on!
same!
i like how my favorite part of the song is also the most replayed. glad im not the only one
The best Dragonforce song! The absolute best! Listened to this song well over 100 times.
One of the greatest flowing solos ever!
7:26 - 7:32 Lately, I've been listening to that part on repeat. Makes my heart jump.
This will forever be my battlesong for anything. I love the Energy this song brings me
I don't have that kind of cardio. Let my battles be fought to Napalm Death - You Suffer.
Agreed, nothing will top the solo that occurs after the bridge though
holy crap this song is so good. props to Dragonforce for making this!
0:29 I've always thought that the synth melody that starts right here sounds like the Super Smash Bros. Brawl theme. "Audi famam... ilius..."
This is a masterpiece that me and my dad and brother always used to listen too, this is a family favorite
One favourite song from DF,
This song never gets OLD.... .
Old is gold

Did you find this MP3 in an arcade and was it missing the back battery cover?
@@lastswordfighter nope high school cafeteria lol
Your lunch lady must like this song, this song was a long ago, I became dragonforce fan when I saw this song on guitar flash
When a song hits, it HITS. My favorite DragonForce song there is. Fuels my love of fantasy like no other.
0:48 I swear all I hear is the final area in OG final fantasy 7. And I’m here for it. All of it. If this was the soundtrack of that game I swear I’d be the one going in the crater cause this shreds!
I was just an apprentice, then I was introduced to the Force, then we rode to the battle listening to "Soldiers of the Wasteland", and we won the day.
Most people know "through the fire and flames" because of guitar hero, but this song was MY introduction to dragonforce and I've been hooked since 2010. Keep rocking guys
7:53 this synth solo makes me want to WEEP
8:34 this part too. My god it sounds incredible
첨 듣던 그 날처럼,
아직도 소름이 돋고 머리카락이 쭈뼛쭈뼛 솟는다.
비장미와 애잔함이 함께하는 묘한 기분~
5:06 gracias Dragonforce
intro goes so hard
Intro is an eargasm for 90 seconds 😂
TTFAF made me a Longtime Dragon force fan, Soldiers of the Wasteland and The Fire Still Burns made sure of that.
6:45 has me feeling like a Phoenix Ablaze swooping down from the sky
I could listen to that song several times even when it's about 10 minutes long. That's how good this song is!
this song has an incredible intro, goddamn.
When I first got into metal I loved this band for the speed. I've since become a fan of thrash metal so this seems much less extreme to me now. Today I appreciate dragonforce for their mixing of guitar and keyboards, and how each gets some awesome sounding leads and riffs
I feel like this is more extreme than thrash the drumming is much faster in power metal.
This song has been my top song on spotify for three years straight. 😄
This song will forever live in my mind, heart, and soul.
An ad in the middle of the video. Kinda scummy.
ABSOLUTE SCUM!!😂
Fr. Ads should always be before or after. Never during.
What a classic! I love these coming back
This track always goes down in my mind as what was playing at our D&D table when we stole an airship to assault a mountain fortress dodging ballista bolts and crashing into the tower at the peak of the mountain
Toutes mes aspirations musicales en une seule chanson. C'est après avoir écouté cette musique que j'ai su qu'il fallait que je fasse moi-même de la musique. AWESOME GUYS !! and Thank you
6:35
Imagine doing treadmill on the gym and this part starts
I don’t have to imagine. It’s a great life.
Just an FYI theres a bot saying to DM on insta pretending to be DF. Stay safe out there.
Also best DF song imo, listen to it when I work out
This has to be one of the best song they made on top of TTFATF
No way the put an add right in the middle
7:51 some retro games
5:05 to 6:06 is fucking gold 🔥🔥
Fantastic song!
Just a reminder to listen to this again.

Tava almoçando, vô fazer minhas obrigações ao som dessa obra de arte😎🤘
I love the intro so much
this song is basically an alternate version of through the fire and flames, it's very good and we need more
Is it off the same album? It really does sound very similar.
@@jamescurfman3284 Nah, Fire and Flames is Inhuman Rampage. Soldiers of the Wasteland is from Sonic Firestorm.
@@Jordan-qw5uw Ah, okay, thank you. How long of a time was between those albums?
@@jamescurfman3284 Only about a year, I think. Sonic Firestorm came first. Inhuman Rampage was what really put DragonForce out there.
@@Jordan-qw5uw Wow. Thank you, you have been very helpful. :)
I remember getting this song on spotify, this is the song that made me fan of dragonforce🔥
Why did I get an ad right at the bridge?
Orcs trying to bar your path?
@booqueefious2230 the bridge is the middle of the song
i love this
It’s sooo good the rifts the music I love it
I love the middle part when things go slow.. idk, it just works perfectly in this song. Like an adventure
Era ZP emg soulny dapet... Pokokny formasi terbaik sih.. tpi yg sekarang pun juga bagus..
Nov 24!!! In here
Que maravilha de música m sucesso pra banda!!!
Guitar, singer, keyboard, drum, THEY'RE ALL GOOD! THIS SONG IS MY FAVORITE FOR NOW ON
Only in the time i have trought the power for the music.
This will play at my funeral. Everyone will be singing it as I`m cremated.
it's a very good thing to think ahead🤗
Gayyy
i havent listened this song in ages yet when the played it live I knew every lyric by heart..how is it possible?

This is just epic and one of my favorite songs from you guys.
Love it it hypes me up their whole album does makes me feel hyper in my head but not physically makes my mind race
8:11 Sapo
El bajo del minuto 6:16 de me hace hermoso

One of my favorite bands ever from my childhood. It was inspired by my interest in guitarists Herman Li
the best music of my life, love it
Best song on the album.

Making this song in Beat Saber. Wish me luck.
