At the mantle of the heart, a river flows inside We drain ourselves in steady streams, until the river runs dry At times these tides define us, deny us of ourselves A finite source of optimism that leaves a hollow shell And as the seasons pass, and winter's numbing cold gives way to pain We light these fires to sit beside as we pray like hell for rain But when the night grows cold, and when the fire fades At the hour before the dawn, the last embers burn til day It's all I hang my hope upon you can't take that away from me Every morning in the mirror I see my worst enemy reflected in me Cause I'm a born unbeliever, a cynical soul, I can only trust as far as I see But every time I close my eyes, I'm who I used to be I never thought I'd feel so cold, until the fire faded out in me I've never felt so cold Such sacrifice for so little to show To learn these lessons I never wanted to know: that we will all die alone And how my blood remains on the tip of the blade as it severs the flesh from the bone So far beyond the below I was there when they sowed the seed I was there when the rats came out to feed And when the rain came, it extinguished the flame in me As I slept, the seeds of doubt were sown I tore my heart apart for this, in hopes my light would grow And I dreamt about a place where all our virtue could withstand I woke in fright, appalled to find the blood was on my hands But every time I close my eyes, I'm who I used to be I never thought I'd feel so cold, until the fire faded out in me I've never felt so cold
Polaris got me through some hard times. Especially this album. Seeing how I've mostly listen to this album in its entirety. RIP Ryan. Damn your strings made me feel calm brotha
Honestly same, from the very similar light instrumentals and Jamie's slower lyrics picking up after the beginning and finally Polaris does what they do best. This track is way heavier than Dusk to Day though
@@memitozv bruh no way, they've just started making songs so they can perform to millions of people at a time with absolute bangers instead of small shows. They're in the running to be the next Metallica imo.
1:49 Cause I'm a BORN unbeliever, a cynical soul..., Totally love the lyrics, the riffs and the power in it. They hit right to the point and boom!! So sick!!
I went to See Polaris at SWX, Bristol in 2022. This was their opening song. My god did they kill it. Ryan's stage presence was insane. I'm literally gutted. He was such an insane guitarist, and he had such amazing stage presence,. Please allow me to say that I love you all, and that I miss Ryan.
Gott diese Band macht mit ihren Songs süchtig, könnte den ganzen Tag Polaris hören, jede Scheibe ist ein Meisterwerk! Grüße aus der Schweiz, ich hoffe wenn es die Zeit und was momentan alles abgeht, euch in der Schweiz zu sehen und hören.
This entire album is the best masterpiece I have ever heard. I have never listened to a complete album day after day multiple times a day. The lyrical composition is chillingly beautiful and real. This is by far my favorite band and I am already itching for another album to dive into. Until then, I will be MORE THAN content with The Death of Me.
This is the best thing I have ever listened to. Not going to compare you to other bands but this album is off the fucking chains and better than what I have heard in 2020 so far. This is gold. Keep pushing and staying above it all. Killing it.
This band is incredible. I can't believe I only discovered them about a week ago. Smashed all of the mortal coil and then they release this album and it's fucking amazing. So happy for UA-cam suggestions sometimes.
Intro: At the mantle of the heart A river flows inside We drain ourselves in steady streams until the river runs dry At times these tides define us Sent us of ourselves A finite source of optimism That leaves a hollow shell And as the seasons pass And the winter’s numbing cold gives way to pain We light these fires to sit beside As we pray like hell for rain But when the night grows cold And when the fire fades At the hour before the dawn The last embers burn til day It’s all I hang my hope upon You can’t take that away from me Verse 1: Every morning in the mirror I see My worst enemy reflected in me Cause I’m a born unbeliever A cynical soul I can only trust as far as I see Chorus: But every time I close my eyes I’m who I used to be (Who I used to be) I never thought I’d feel so cold Until the fire faded out in me I’ve never felt so cold Verse 2: Such sacrifice for so little to show To learn these lessons I never wanted to know That we will all die alone Until my blood remains on the top of the blade as it severs the flesh from the bone Breakdown: So far beyond the below I was there when they sowed the seed I was there when the rats came out to feed And when the rain came It extinguished the flame in me Bridge: As I slept The seeds of doubt were sown I tore my heart apart for this In hopes my light would grow And I dreamt about a place Where all our virtue could withstand I woke in fright appalled to find The blood was on my hands Chorus: But every time I close my eyes I’m who I used to be (Who I used to be) I never thought I’d feel so cold Until the fire faded out in me I’ve never felt so cold
I just checked my most listened songs ever on spotify (i have had spotify for like 1.5-2 years) and out of the top 11, 8 of them are polaris, with this on the number 1 spot
This band is fuckin amazing!! The Death Of Me should win album of the year! Hands down the best metalcore album of 2020 so far. Every song is dope, their is not one song I don't like. Great job guys, you made a masterpiece!!
For Any Metalcore Lover Or Even Metal Lover This Album Is A Must From Start To Finish Just Pure Perfection Not Even A Single Miss In Sight Every Riff-Drum Beat-Vocals Just Straight To The Point Jamie In His Interview With Ryan Was Right...

This song, no others, was what made me listen to them. Then I found out what happened to their artist. And it made me think, One flame burns brightest, you still light forever.
Holy shit, that guitar is out of control... Those two bridge riffs are so, so, so sick... I feel like I didn't even know what a riff was before I listened to Polaris, now. Seriously, some of the best rhythm guitar I've ever heard. As a very mediocre rhythm guitarist, it's super sick to see it front and center on so many tracks. I just discovered this band about a week ago and I'm straight up obsessed with them, for real. I've only heard The Mortal Coil and The Death of Me but they're both damn near perfect albums and It's been a long time since I've cruised through two albums, back-to-back and had this many different, favorite tracks. I have a new one almost every day and I get so stuck on what song to show people haha.

Came back to this song after the gut wrenching news today. RIP to such a gifted musician. Your riffs will liver forever Ryan!
This band is going to skyrocket as one of the best metalcore bands to date. Here for the journey bros
damn yea my friend, let me see tour with Architects and Crystal Lake - that would be groundbreaking :D
@@eduardpacek774 theyre coming to my hometown I wonder who will be with them
I agree! Fit For A King and Currents on the rise with Polaris, the future big trio!
@@eduardpacek774 saw them with architects already on the holy hell tour in munich, together with beartooth. Was a Blast :)
Really hope so
In my current period of mental struggle, this song hits home. A masterpiece
feel u
I am with you brother
i reallylike this band idk why especially since i can relate to praying, there really talented & awesome!~
much love to everyone your not alone~
am alone as fk here but am wz u
yeah kinda hits the soul
R.I.P. to one of the greatest guitarists 😢
At the mantle of the heart, a river flows inside
We drain ourselves in steady streams, until the river runs dry
At times these tides define us, deny us of ourselves
A finite source of optimism that leaves a hollow shell
And as the seasons pass, and winter's numbing cold gives way to pain
We light these fires to sit beside as we pray like hell for rain
But when the night grows cold, and when the fire fades
At the hour before the dawn, the last embers burn til day
It's all I hang my hope upon you can't take that away from me
Every morning in the mirror I see my worst enemy reflected in me
Cause I'm a born unbeliever, a cynical soul, I can only trust as far as I see
But every time I close my eyes, I'm who I used to be
I never thought I'd feel so cold, until the fire faded out in me
I've never felt so cold
Such sacrifice for so little to show
To learn these lessons I never wanted to know: that we will all die alone
And how my blood remains on the tip of the blade as it severs the flesh from the bone
So far beyond the below
I was there when they sowed the seed
I was there when the rats came out to feed
And when the rain came, it extinguished the flame in me
As I slept, the seeds of doubt were sown
I tore my heart apart for this, in hopes my light would grow
And I dreamt about a place where all our virtue could withstand
I woke in fright, appalled to find the blood was on my hands
But every time I close my eyes, I'm who I used to be
I never thought I'd feel so cold, until the fire faded out in me
I've never felt so cold
I love you
@@chaz1745 you're welcome bro 😂
A gentleman and a scholar!
@@geoffgardner8367 you know how it is my guy 👌
The lyrics are amazing. This song is amazing.
Was looking for Polaris album by Tesseract. Found this instead. I was not disappointed.
"And I dreamt about a place where all our virtue could withstand
I woke in fright, appalled to find the blood was on my hands"
God. DAMN.
Polaris got me through some hard times. Especially this album. Seeing how I've mostly listen to this album in its entirety. RIP Ryan. Damn your strings made me feel calm brotha
utterly brutaL One of the best metalcore songs ever written
I'm gonna listen to this until I hate it
Lemme know when you do
rip
Story of my life
After like 300 listens im now convinced that thats never gonna happen...
So, forever?
This song has some of the best riffs ever in it,RIP Ryan,shred durst 🤘🏼
Metalcore going strong in 2020 : )
it shifted alot but still strong
@@ricardosansone6483 is it just me or has metalcore toned down the breakdowns?
@@erickhouston2967 yeah more groove riffs rather than open note patterns
They're all just top tier songs damn
reading these lyrics and I’m genuinely tearing up a little, this hits how Dusk to Day hit when I first listened to it
Same! , except this track had the bouncyness turned up aaalll the waaaay
you can hear the agony
Honestly same, from the very similar light instrumentals and Jamie's slower lyrics picking up after the beginning and finally Polaris does what they do best. This track is way heavier than Dusk to Day though
damn this comment gonna make me go listen and read the dusk to day lyrics lol.
Yeah, the lyrics are very profound. 🤘 Stay Strong :)
Don't think this band has a bad song. I don't think there's a band out of Australia that is bad either.
🔥
Dude what is in Australia's water tho fr lol? Pure METAL??
Australian metalcore is outdoing US metalcore consistently lately
Chris Y gotta say that Parkway Drive have declined in their quality
They take these rare Australian metalcore snakes and inject the venom directly into their weiners.
@@memitozv bruh no way, they've just started making songs so they can perform to millions of people at a time with absolute bangers instead of small shows.
They're in the running to be the next Metallica imo.
Polaris can’t do any wrong
Architects is a big influence for them as I can hear 😌😌
Can we take a moment to appreciate the solid minute of deadly riffs from 2:15 - 3:23
While I'm there wit' chu, but really: The song as a whole is a fucking tour de force the likes we don't get enough.
They just fucking non stop on this entire track
🤘
All the waiting was worth it, we got ourselves a hell of an Album. All the Love goes out to Polaris and everyone listening to them
BIG wherever I may walk vibes from the start of this song.
Definitely one of my favorite bands right now, this whole entire album is my favorite right now. On replay everyday 🙏🏻
God bless albums being released from Australia, can enjoy the album this very night!!
1:49 Cause I'm a BORN unbeliever, a cynical soul..., Totally love the lyrics, the riffs and the power in it. They hit right to the point and boom!! So sick!!
one of my favorite MetalCore bands love his voice just another GREAT song by a great band I'm a 62yr old MetalCore fan
This song hits even harder now. Rest in peace Ryan❤
There are some awesome bands on this label man... This is where I found Loathe, as well
Polaris, Currents, Alazka, Crystal Lake, We Came as Romans.
For me, Currents is in the Top list
Right? Loathe is that shit, boi! Definitely my favorite on the label, but I fucking love these guys and some of the others on SharpTone. 🔥
Those emotional screams! Hope to share a stage with you guys one day
Woah, Neon Empire . I like the songs produced by your band
@@devchawda9414 thank you! More new music tomorrow 😁❤️🤘
This song is such a good change of pace from the rest of the album. Best album you guys have put out so far
Another Aussie Gem.
I swear Australia makes the best Metal.
Love from UK
I get the feeling this is going to my favorite album of 2020
Its early but I'm looking forward to August Burns Red too.
@@adamhirsch2820 Silent Planet, Every Time I Die, Phinehas, so many more man.
@@jasonlovesmusicreacting882 Most likely Architects.
@@Thumpershots They arnt releasing an album
We have to wait for Make Them Suffer too!
that intro and the lyrics for it are just brilliant,one of the best things i have ever heard
That rapped part into the drop at 2:45 had my jaw dropped for a solid minute
love this song so much.
Beggining remind me of "Wherever I May Walk", that's good, always though this Ep was the less known of them and the most underated
I was just thinking this
Probably because the mix was a steaming pile of horse feces.
@@icanmakeeverythingilovedie9861 you won UA-cam
Architects - Hereafter x Polaris - Wherever I May Walk... I APPROVE!
More like doomsday :p
Personal opinion, i dont really fuck with Architects. Would much rather see these guys. They flow much better together
@@seangeorge11 I get what your saying,everything flows together beautifully.
Currents also
This has got to be one of my favorite metalcore songs of all time honestly
This album has brought me in as a huge fan of this band. In particular this song. Can not get enough 👍🤟🤟
Metalcore is not dead!!!!
Music like this makes me super proud to be Australian :)
Our scene here slays!
Great SILENT PLANET vibes on this album! Love this band.
:( RIP to the guitarist. You made so much of this. I love this band because of you.
Amazing the whole track, even tearing up in the intro. R.I.P Ryan, Your riffs will be remembered forever!
This has to be the best metalcore song I've heard in ages! This is fntastic!
They are the best of the 3rd wave of metalcore
3rd wave metalcore is ridiculously good all around. Genre's almost been perfected.
just genius from a to z , some of the deepest meaningful lyrics I’ve ever heard , what a masterpiece
I went to See Polaris at SWX, Bristol in 2022. This was their opening song. My god did they kill it. Ryan's stage presence was insane. I'm literally gutted. He was such an insane guitarist, and he had such amazing stage presence,. Please allow me to say that I love you all, and that I miss Ryan.

The chorus is great. I have a feeling polaris is gonna grow on me.

This is by far my favorite band and I am already itching for another album to dive into. Until then, I will be MORE THAN content with The Death of Me.
Rest in peace Ryan, listening back to this song isnt the same anymore now
This is the best thing I have ever listened to. Not going to compare you to other bands but this album is off the fucking chains and better than what I have heard in 2020 so far. This is gold. Keep pushing and staying above it all. Killing it.
The devil wears Prada mixed with architects vibes
Crazeor ya def heading tdwp vibes
architects for sure
3:20 mins for sure has tdwp vibe but this is 90% polaris and 10% influence. please dont get me wrong. happy listening everyone.
I hear a little Wage War also
Tilong Bakal oh no I agree with you 100% I was jus thinking of any band out their tht they are similar too
This song is so all over the place. I love it.
This album is a absolute masterpiece!!!!
Every single song is epic!!!!
Love you POLARIS!!!
This band is incredible. I can't believe I only discovered them about a week ago. Smashed all of the mortal coil and then they release this album and it's fucking amazing. So happy for UA-cam suggestions sometimes.
Mark Mills welcome to the party bro 🤘🏻
Check out their EP as well.
Intro:
At the mantle of the heart
A river flows inside
We drain ourselves in steady streams until the river runs dry
At times these tides define us
Sent us of ourselves
A finite source of optimism
That leaves a hollow shell
And as the seasons pass
And the winter’s numbing cold gives way to pain
We light these fires to sit beside
As we pray like hell for rain
But when the night grows cold
And when the fire fades
At the hour before the dawn
The last embers burn til day
It’s all I hang my hope upon
You can’t take that away from me
Verse 1:
Every morning in the mirror I see
My worst enemy reflected in me
Cause I’m a born unbeliever
A cynical soul
I can only trust as far as I see
Chorus:
But every time I close my eyes
I’m who I used to be
(Who I used to be)
I never thought I’d feel so cold
Until the fire faded out in me
I’ve never felt so cold
Verse 2:
Such sacrifice for so little to show
To learn these lessons I never wanted to know
That we will all die alone
Until my blood remains on the top of the blade as it severs the flesh from the bone
Breakdown:
So far beyond the below
I was there when they sowed the seed
I was there when the rats came out to feed
And when the rain came
It extinguished the flame in me
Bridge:
As I slept
The seeds of doubt were sown
I tore my heart apart for this
In hopes my light would grow
And I dreamt about a place
Where all our virtue could withstand
I woke in fright appalled to find
The blood was on my hands
Chorus:
But every time I close my eyes
I’m who I used to be
(Who I used to be)
I never thought I’d feel so cold
Until the fire faded out in me
I’ve never felt so cold
I just checked my most listened songs ever on spotify (i have had spotify for like 1.5-2 years) and out of the top 11, 8 of them are polaris, with this on the number 1 spot
my fav track from the album! those guitar riffs are sick!
This band is fuckin amazing!! The Death Of Me should win album of the year! Hands down the best metalcore album of 2020 so far. Every song is dope, their is not one song I don't like. Great job guys, you made a masterpiece!!
Okay these dudes are special. Gimme another album NOW
Best opening song loved seeing u guys at velvet underground polaris/LMTF tour 2022 🤘🏻💯 jamie is one of the most down to world guys ive ever met🗣🗣🗣
Perfection!
These guys bring my shower melodies to life. Honestly I couldn't ask for more.
You will always find gold watching an unknown persons guitar cover, totally worth it ❤
when it hits at 1:50, fuck yes I love these guys so much!!!!!!!!!
It's such a AWESOME BANGER!
this track is GOLD
This song is so damn good from beginning to end, you all are fucking genius.
this album easily took metalcore album of the year for me
its a pleasure being here listening to this masterpiece with you all guys
Pray for Ryan
One of the most incredible songs I've ever heard ❤
2:48 this !!!
Who in their damn right mind would dislike this work of art?????
For Any Metalcore Lover Or Even Metal Lover
This Album Is A Must
From Start To Finish
Just Pure Perfection
Not Even A Single Miss In Sight
Every Riff-Drum Beat-Vocals
Just Straight To The Point
Jamie In His Interview With Ryan Was Right...
Songs Are So Fucking Sick
The Real Gold In Here Is That As Soon As They Feel That The Audience May Get Bored They Chenge The Pace With Riffs And Vocals Simultaneously
And Through Every Song You Can Cut Its Subject With Knife
Every Song On This Record Slaps
Whether With Breakdown Or Even Vocals From Jake Or Jamie !!!!!...... I Can't Remember The Last Time That This Happened
Congratulations Guys
Mind Blowing Job
Long Live The Death Of Me

Thank you for helping me get through 2020, Polaris. Love from the Philippines
the whole album is insanely good, but I find myself having this song on repeat. What a tune
This is so good
Best song on the album for me
Australian metal is at an astounding level these days, brilliant track
This song, no others, was what made me listen to them. Then I found out what happened to their artist. And it made me think, One flame burns brightest, you still light forever.
instant shivers

THIS IS A MASTERPIECE!
Well it was predicted to say the least, its been rain for days now lets let the sun shine upon us and make a new story
I love this album cover so much. Welcome to my phone backround line up The Death Of Me
That’s my favorite song from the whole album
I agree there so amazing definitely going to be one of the best metalcore bands now and the future
Great emotional Song with a wonderful and meaningful message! Go in with your Great Work as musicians. :)
Sick!! Can't believe i'm finally listening to this album!!
NEED. MORE. POLARIS.
Currents+Polaris=💦💦💦
Oh yess
Did stoned first listen. This drop left me mouth open smiling for 3 Straight minutes
I listen to all of my heavy music stoned. Definitely makes it a better listen
Bud and metal are such an underrated duo
Ah good, 2 references. Silent Planet. I hear it. I love it
I love this song. It's an amazing start to a great album.
Can clearly hear a Mixture of Erra, Architects with a spicy touch of Wage War.
God Damn this is art
New TAA and Polaris albums coming out tomorrow 😁 I'm so excited
